Premiere Pro can't play specific WMV files

Just installed Premiere Pro and imported some WMV files. It plays back the audio but no video.
I know my computer has the correct codec for it because I can watch them in Windows Media Player without any problem. Other WMV files and Mpeg files play in Premiere Pro just fine, but I can't understand why some WMV files play and some don't.
Is there a specific way to see what codec these files are using, and is there a way to test that Premiere Pro is picking up all of the codecs on my computer?

Be sure to mention if it is something that worked before using the same procedure
Very importantly: Post details of troubleshooting you have already done to avoid "did that" reponses to questions people ask when trying to help. :: Checked for a standalone version of VC-1 Codec.. couldn't find it. Found out that it's supposed to come standard with WMP11, so I re-installed it, twice, still no change. Restarted the computer and software several times. Tested other formats of video and even other WMV files and it works fine.

Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
Error Message
"The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
Please HELP
Martin

Hi MartinSalteruk,
Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.
if not click here to download the Quicktime player

Can Director play back WMV HD files?

I am very interested in developing a HD application in
Director, and I would like to know if Director can play back WMV HD
files, or any HD video files.
Thanks.

Sorry but no. Unless you want to convert them, you'll need to play your WMV files in Windows Media Player.

No video when playing a .wmv file?

I have a problem with a .wmv file. When I play it in QuickTime or VLC, I hear audio only, but no video. I have the latest Flip4Mac plugin and have no problems playing other .wmv files. The first time I played the file in QuickTime, as was directed to the Apple QuickTime components web site (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=696d6463&c subtype=4d535332) because "Additional software is required by QuickTime to playback this media...". But I see no plugin on that web site that would be applicable.
I would be grateful for any ideas as I want to purchase educational videos from this vendor, but can not if their files won't work on a Mac. The 43MB file can be downloaded here for testing: http://files.me.com/pschannong/x20p20
I run 10.5.6 on an Intel Mac.

Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC not opening an xml file created in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014

Hello,
I had created a project using Adobe Premiere CC 2014 which had some minor changes, which were going to be done by my boss, who uses Premiere Pro CC. However the project file of Adobe Premiere CC 2014 was not getting opened in Premiere Pro CC giving a message of type that as this file was created in a newer version of Premiere, it cannot be opened. After searching on this forum I found that we have to convert the Premiere Pro CC 2014 project file to XML file which can be then imported onto Premiere CC. So I created a XML file by selecting File-> Export -> Final Cut Pro XML and sent it to my boss. However even the xml file is not getting opened after being imported onto Premiere Pro CC giving an error of sorts, Cannot open the file since there is a problem with the codecs.
Have I done something wrong? Please guide me since I am a beginner to the Adobe environment and would very much appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Indeed..... but are they fully documented, includuing Adobe's implementation of Multicam?
Collapsing them should really be no more than a day or two of work for an Adobe engineer and a day of beta testing. Seriously. Lots of people want this - it only takes a few minutes with google to find people struggling with this exact problem. Premiere Pro Multicam --> Resolve.
Since we do a lot of multicam work it's something that's important to us.
Lots of other people never go near multicam, so I guess for them it's something they really don't care about.
I currently have > 22 hours of multicam sequences that need primary colour correction and follow on grading..... resolve would be the best choice by far.

Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Here are my system details:
OSX 10.9.3
new Mac Pro
3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
64 GB RAM
Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
Thanks!

HT3775 What is required to play a .wmv file on a MAC OS X 10.6.8?

I have a MAC desktop with an MAC OS X 10.6.8 and have tried everything known to man to be able to play an .wmv file.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Not all of Microsoft's codecs have been licensed to be ported to other platforms, so it's quite possible that you cannot play that WMV in Mac OS X, even though it does not contain DRM. You can try asking for assistance in the Flip4Mac forums:
http://forum.telestream.net/forum/default.aspx?FTVAR_SUBCAT=5&NoCookies=y&subcat name=Flip4Mac%20WMV%20Components%20For%20QuickTime
and they may be able to help. Otherwise you'll probably have to use a Windows system, either on your Mac or another computer, to view that video.

How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

LGSh
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
More later.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Premiere Pro Can Capture Only One Stereo Pair?

I'm thinking of getting PPro CS 5.5, so I'm reading the Help file to learn about it first and I came across this listed under "Importing Digital Audio":
1) "Although the DV format can record two independent stereo audio pairs, Premiere Pro can capture only one stereo pair.
It may be possible to select either stereo pair 1, stereo pair 2, or a mix of both, depending on the DV hardware you use."
Does this mean if I have 2 mic's connected to my camera, PPro can only capture 1 stereo pair or the other or a "mix" of both? What does that mean?
Would I be able to edit both stereo pairs as separate tracks on the timeline?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Harm,
The specs on the Canon HV20 say DV can do 2 channels in 16 bit mode and 4 channels in 12 bit mode.
But I want to start using HDV, which can only do 2 channels in 16 bit mode. HDV uses MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, 16 bit, 48 kHz, transfer rate 384 kbps (2 channels).
The DV settings are PCM digital sound with 2 modes: 16 bit, 48 kHz/2 channels and in 12 bit mode is 32 kHz/4 channels.
Is a "stereo pair" 2 channels?

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

Can't Play VCD *.DAT files in QT 6.5.3

I can't play vcd *.dat files in QT 6.5.3 (OSX 10.2.8) But i can play them using QT 6.0.2 in OS9.2.2 What do i need to do to play them in OSX using QT 6.5.3? Thx for the help...Dave
Mac G4 AGP, PB G3 Bronze, PPC G3 Biege Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Yes, tried that.... QuickTime/open movie/go to vcd/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/choose....I then get error message 'Couldn't open file AVSEQ01.DAT because there was an input/output error' So then i tried oening from the desktop.
Is this a commercial VCD or a Toast burn? Asking because I know mine was made by Toast back in OS 9 when the MPEG-1 extension was included with Toast. If so, am wondering if you have an OS X compatible version of Toast installed. I have the latest version of Toast installed and was thinking it might include some component that is allowing me to open the AVSEQ01.DAT file without error. (I get the error when I attempt to open via the OS 9 VCD script in the CDI folder since I no longer have access to "Classic" mode.)
VCD/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/double click...I then get error message...'Chinese Input Method Plug-in Converter' Open file error.
Chinese Input Method Plug-In Converter appears to convert input text to Chinese "graphic equivalents" contained in .DAT extension files. (Plug-in probably works as some sort of a text-to-graphic buffer.) It may simply be selecting this as an "application/utility of opportunity" here and generates an error when it reaches the end of the "look-up table" without finding a valid match.
In any case, I take it your VCD does not contain a QT reference movie (.MOV) that points to the AVSEQ01.DAT file as the movie resource.
