File Import Failure mp4 and mov

Error message: Unsupported format or damaged file
I've never had this error before. And thid did never happen before. Files that worked fine a week ago are now blocked with a error message. What's wrong?

Sorry for replying late. Have you tried renaming the folder?
Here are some more suggestions:
Sign out from Premiere Pro and sign back in to see if it works.
Change the location of the file/s (just a test)
Try to import the same files in Premiere Pro CC (version 7) if you have that installed.
And which version of Premiere Pro are you using exactly? (Along with the DOT versions)
Thanks,
Rameez

Quicktime file import failure in CS5 After Effects and PPro

Running a Dell PC with a fresh install of Win 7 Pro, Intel Quad Core 2 with 4GB. Ram.When I try to import quicktime files into AE or PPro, I get a file import failure or corrupted file message. I am using quicktime version 7.6.6. I have tried uninstalling and removing all preferences, then reloading older versions of quicktime (7.2) rebboting the machine, and still no luck. Any tips would be appreciated. I have not been able to get any help from Adobe. I have a laptop setup the same way and it works great. I even tried loading the exact same versions of qt. and tried to use the Importerquiktime.prm file from that machine.

I appreciate the feedback. I checked the processes upon AE start and found that the Adobe QT server32 starts then closes in the processes before AE actually loads up. If it is supposed to remain open, it does not. I can not find where to change its permissions. I looked the site you sent a link to, but do not see that section.

.mp4 and .mov files are just LARGE

Sorry, without posting all the encoding details, is there an obvious reason why my .mp4 and .mov files are ~10x the size that they should be after AME? I'm talking about files that are 30mb .mp4's before and 300mb.mov afterwards. If you need details I'll post. Thanks.

File size is determined primarily by only two factors - duration and bitrate. The codec used, resolution, frame rate, etc. all have little or no effect on file size.
Duration, and bitrate. If you want a smaller file, one or the other of those has to be reduced.

File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type!

I completed editing my movie about two weeks ago did all the colour correction audio etc last week, and aim to complete the sutitling tomorrow!
But now the problem is that my some of my files are now offline and can't be relinked because I get an error message which says "File Import Failure; File has unsupported compression type"
These files are .MTS which I believe are AVCHD.
So I don't know what has happenned here. Is it the recent update that has caused this or something else?

This have happend to me twice now.
If I remember correctly it have to do with Cloud membership in my case. Both times I have been away on work and when I get home I have a email stating that payment have failed. After I set it right I start up Premiere and I get this failure.
First time the solution was uninstall Everything Adobe and run clean script. Reinstalling did the trick.
That solution is not working in the long run.
Here Adobe needs to do something soon!

Still having problems: "File Import Failure"

Hi All,
I am still having problems transferring clips to Time Line or Project window of CS4 or PPro1.5. I could copy all clips from the Sony Clip Browser(SXS Memory Card Reader) to HardDrive(not C:\drive). But when I drag clips from Hard Drive to Project Window, it says "File Import Failure" and file format (.MP4)not supported. The file shows like this:
J:\test1\20100306210847\BPAV\CLPR\Test01\Test01.MP4
I really would appreciate if anyone could help me from the basics..I was trying this for the last 2weeks..I have uninstalled AdobeCS4 and installed PPro1.5. Still no difference.
My machine is a Dell 2.8GHz, 2GB DDR2RAM, plenty of internal and external HDD spaces.

"File Import Failure Unsupported format or damaged file" in CS6 but fine in CS5.5

Hello All.
Recording in Pal DV AVI from Sony Z5U with MRC1K compact flash recorder.
Imported files to computer using the Sony utility, and also tried dragging and dropping.
Some files import to Premiere Pro CS6.03, but others give "File Import Failure: Unsupported format or damaged file,".
The files that do import show up as 4:3 and I have to modify / interpret footage to get them to show as 16:9,
However, these same files play back just fine in Windows Media Player.
Intriguingly these files import just fine to Premiere Pro CS5.5, and also show up correctly as 16:9.
I can't figure out why some files import into CS6 and others don't....
Anyone else seen this kind of behavior?
(Normally I record in HDV and I've never had problems importing from MRC1K into Premiere, but the client specifically requested DV files for their ease of editing...)
Cheers
Mark
PS When I use the DV recoverer utility on these files they import just fine into CS6....

Hi Jim,
OK, here's the video that imports OK into CS6.03 but that Premiere CS6.03 sees as 4:3:
And here's the one that won't import into CS6.03 but is happily opened by CS5.5 and correctly seen as 16:9:
Can you spot the difference? Thanks for having a look at this.
Cheers
Mark

File import failure in premiere pro on specific files

I have installed the latest version of Premiere Pro CC 2014. I am trying to import several video files that i have recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The problem is that while some of the files gets successfully imported, many files cant import because of a error message, file import failure. Unsupported file format etc. I have tried to open this in many media players, and all work fine there. I have even imported these files on the same Premiere Pro-version on a different machine, and there they work perfectly. But on this machine some files just wont open. Does anybody have a clue or tips on how I can fix this? I guess its a problem within the software.

It just seems to pick certain files and reject them.
Which ones does it eject? eg do they have a different file extension from the video files.
Are they rgb?

TS1382 my ipod will not play any format of film i have tried mp4 and .mov and it says this format not supported what is the problem

i have an ipod classic and i have tried to put films on but every format i try it keeps saying thei format not supported i have tried mp4 and .mov and it will not take it anyone got any suggestions on what format to use and the best way to convert films

If these problem videos are already stored in your iTunes library, try using the iTunes built in convert to convert the file to an even friendlier iPod format. To use it, highlight the video in iTunes and choose Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version from the drop down menu. When the conversion process has completed, try syncing the new version over to your iPod Classic.

Media offline / file import failure

Hi,
I have my project created in Premiere CS6. Now i updated to CC.
In my project, i imported a really short AE file into my Pr timeline. The whole vidieo worked fine.
Now I just noticed that media (AE file) was reported media offline in Premiere CC.
OK, I tried to locate the media from the folder where i keep the file.
Can locate the file but hitting "ok" button won't let me select the file.
Ok, I treid to rename the AE file. Imported the file in Pr, but Pr says file import failure.
Anyone come across this problem.
Not sure if this's because of version CC. My AE file is there. Nothing has changed.
Just don't know why I can't relocate and import the file.

HI abhishah,
Thanks for posting on adobe forums;
Please provide me following details
Premiere pro CC or CS6
What is the OS and version ?
What is the Graphics Card installed on the system ?
How much Ram do you have ?
Do you use any external Hard Drive ?
and please try to copy the media file from the one location another without media, and make the media offline and save the project as a new project and try to open the new one, then try to link the media.
Thanks
Sandeep

Mxf File import failure

Dear All,
I have a problem to import files in CS4 from a Sony PDW-U1(MPEG2 HD 50CBR_1920_1080_422P@HL" formatFps="50i") on my new HP Quad Core 4600.
The error message: file import failure "Unsupported format or damaged file" but is not damaged.
The PC don't have a capture card and I don't need it, I just want to import the mxf and edit it on the timeline then encode in flv.
Someone have an idea?
Many thanks
Claudio

MainConcept sells a fairly expensive PP plugin that supposedly will read the Sony XDCAM HD 422 50 mbps MXF files. I downloaded the demo, but I could never get it to work right, because according the MainConcept, it won't install correctly if you have both CS3 and CS4 components installed. Maybe your luck will be better:

File Import Failure

I just tried to open a video I have been working on in Adobe Premiere Elements 11 editing software and I got an error message saying "File Import Failure. The type of file is not supported or the required codec is not installed." How do I fix this so I can get access to my file again? Thanks!!

Do you get the "Missing CODEC, or file not supported" error message upon Import?
If so, this FAQ Entry might be helpufl" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1050730?tstart=0

Why do I get an error msg : file import failure?

Why do I get this error message? File import failure? I am using video clip from Iphone 4S.

Have you tried trashing your Final Cut Pro preferences? It is usually the first step when FCP begins to act in unexpected ways.
Download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
and use it to trash your preferences - they will be set to default the next time you open FCP.
If that does not remedy the problem, do you have any still images in your timeline that are not RGB, or are greater than 4000 pixels in the widest dimension?
Is your source material in an FCP7 edit friendly codec?

Image Capture and MP4 and MOV with iPhoto

Using Image Capture, I tried to transfer pictures and movies (MP4 and MOV) from my iPad 3 to iPhoto on my iMac. Things were looking good, images and movies were transfering fine, iPhoto had opened with all of them in a new event. I was able to play both MP4 and MOV from iPhoto. Then I quit iPhoto and Image Capture and launch iPhoto again and try to play the movies that I just imported, iPhoto says it can't find them. It seems that it can't find them if Image Capture is not running !? Although the pictures are fine. Can somebody help me ? Thanks for the help.

I needed that option off because I want to keep them only on my NAS, so PC users can still accesses them when needed. I didn't want different sources, only on that I know is "the actual source".
Now, I did import them on Images directory using Image Capture and it worked. Then I moved them to my NAS.
But I just realized that the iPad appears in iPhoto and that I can import them into iPhoto directly ! It works fine, meaning that if I disconnect the iPad from the iMac, the movies play just fine. The initial setup was to launch Image Capture when the iPad is connected to the iMac. I disabled it. I plan to use the import from iPhoto instead.
But I still need to keep those pictures and movies on the NAS as well. It means that I will need to export them on the NAS eachtime.
Thanks for your help, it really helped.
