Premiere Pro CS6 importing .mp4 = "The file has no audio or video streams."

Hi,
When I import an MP4 clip into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following message:
"File Import Failure
151_0010_01.mp4
Error Message
The file has no audio or video streams."
I have the latest Quicktime, and I have reinstalled Premiere Pro CS6 a few times already. If anyone knows a fix for this, I would greatly appreciate it. My system and clip info are found below. Thank you, Robert.

I encountered a similar problem. I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams". I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change. Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault. It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage. Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.
I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda. We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.

Uninstalling and reinstalling a "Typical" Apple Quicktime installation seemed to fix the problem.

.Mov files in CC : The File Has no Audio or Video Streams

I recently updated premier to CC , since i have issues iimporting any .mov files at all.
The specific ones Im trying for my current project are exports from AE , rendered lossless animation .mov , worked fine in CS6 , will play in quicktime and other generic's but always getting the The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams message when trying to import into a project.
Quicktime is updated so I can't understand why the won't play, is this a CC bug ?
i go back to cs6 on my other comp they open fine...
Ive seen a few topics on this none with a resolution and most of those where from cam's, this is an export from AE, anyone able to help this is stopping me from working atm ......

I can verify that Apple screen recordings without audio do not import into any Adobe premeier.
Details on screen recording from Gspot v2.70a:
H.264
qt : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
File Type: QuickTime (.MOV)
Mime Type: video/quicktime
Len: 1:03.083
Frms: 1,521
Qf: 0.153
Frames/s: 20.000
wx: 1280 x 800
sar: 1.600 (8:5)
However Apple (MAC OSX) screen recordings WITH audio will import.
I would think this should be fixable with hotfixes...
If you (adobe staff) have access to macbook pros 2012 or 2013 models, open quick time pro, do a screen recording, make sure no audio is recording, just your screen movements.. then export to 1080p video (mov is only option).. then on a windows PC try to import that file into adobe premiere. The file will play perfectly fine natively in windows with any player so long as a H264 decoder is available on that system... the problem here is Adobe Premiere. Not the users system.
Edit:
To help those with this issue.. just make sure when you render your mov that you have ANY kind of audio in it.. and just remove the audio track once imported into premiere. I know it's frustrating and you would think something as simple as not having an audio track wouldn't break premiere but alas... we have to work around the shortcomings until they decide to fix it.. just like the VFR issue in premiere.

Import mov error. "The file has no audio or video stream".

Very interesting. Would this also explain why i was previously able to import some high def files I downloaded and after the reformat of my computer and reload of cs5.5, I'm now not able to use those files? It's very strange. I did a project, used the high def mov files and it came out great. After a mandatory reformat and reload, now the file doesn't want to import into premier. Error message was... "this file has no audio or video stream"... yet they play fine in media player, and one of the files works, but not the rest. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Mark

Mark,
Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere Elements Tips & Tricks sub-forum, which is a repository for articles on how to do things in PrElements.
Maybe our MOD, Steve Grisetti, will move this out to the Premiere Pro CS 5 & CS 5.5 forum, where you will get more replies.
After the reformat, did you install Apple's QT Player? If so, what version.
What is the CODEC in those MOV files? That can be very important, but the very later versions of QT Player should install most of the popular CODEC's, that one sees in MOV, MP4, MTS, etc. files.
Good luck,
Hunt

sorry for my bad english.
Please Help!Thanks.

I'm sorry.. I'm not good with terms and specs.
All I know is.. I'm not doing nothing different that I always did with Premiere CS5.5 and CS5.
> record
> connect camera
> copy .mp4 from SxS to my HDD
> import with Premiere CS5.5
BUT... When I try to import that exactly same file, all I get is:

The file has no audio or video streams

Before posting this question, I did a quick search and found out someone else has already reported this problem, and the cause seemed to be the absence of Quicktime player when importing *.mov files. In my case, i do have quicktime on my PC and as a matter of fact, the export worked perfectly with these *.mov in my sequence before.
Today when I open my project, these *mov files became offline. And when I tried to Link Media, it gave me the no audio or video streams errer. What is wrong with it? I have not done anything to PP since the last time when everything was perfect.

Never mind. I just figured it out myself. I installed bluestacks emulator on my PC that apparently confused the system. After uninstalling it, PP is working fine again.

The file has no audio or video streams : error importing MP4 (H.264+AAC)

Hello, greetings from Spain.
I'm getting an error with all my mp4 files generated with the avermedia live gamer portable lite when i try to import them on my project.
All those files worked perfectly before the premiere actualization to 2014 version.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Clear Media cache data base. Also clean it out manually.
Rename folder the mp's are in and import into new project.
See if that will help.

'File has no audio or video streaming' error -- I have codecs!

Hi!
I really hope someone can help me!
I am trying to import MOV files into Premiere CS5 (latest version, just downloaded last week) and I get the error message "file has no audio or video streaming.'
I can open these files just fine in Final Cut Pro X (which I hate, so hence why I am back on Premiere).
I already downloaded Quicktime 7, and the Quicktime Pro Codecs here (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1396). When I tried to install those codecs, I got an error saying there is a newer version of the codecs installed on my machine.
My info:
Mac OS 10.6.8
Quicktime 10
(I read you also needed to download Quicktime 7 for some codecs. I did that, but it didn't help.)
Premiere CS5.5 (Trial)*
*I read the old trial did not allow you to import MOVs, but that the new trial does not have an issue -- so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

This file has no audio or video streams

I've been able to successfuly import any of my video files, except for one. It was shot on the same day, same series, same camera. Plays in QuickTime just fine. It's the only file that gives me this error. Can anyone help?

Look familiar?
It imported and properly shows video and audio, as you can see. Does the file not import at all, or does it import but is "blank?" If it imports but doesn't show video or audio, try deleting the CFA, PEK and QTINDEX files that are generated from the clip, while is Premiere closed. Generally, these are saved next to the source files, and their names are derived from the source footage name. Reopen your project and try reimporting the clip.
If that doesn't work, download MPEG Streamclip and open the clip in it. Select File > Save As, and pick a new file name for the clip; save it. This will create a copy of the clip, but rewrite the clip's headers, so there will be no change of the video/audio. Try importing that one.

If I select a clip on my Timeline in Premiere Pro cs6, everything to the right of it is also selected. What can I change in my settings to prevent this from happening?

Error during start up of Premiere Pro CS6. "... could not find any capable video play modules..."

During start up of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following error message. "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again." This does not occur on After Effects, and the program runs successfully. Premiere Pro will not open, and in the start up window the last thing the status line states before the error message occurs is: "Loading ImporterQuikTime.prm"
I have added an NVidia GPU card to my system and have installed the latest video drivers from the NVidida website (GeForce 310.70). This did not help. I have QuikTime on my computer, but am not sure if it needs to be in a certain file location.
I have also gone in to BIOS after installing the GPU and disabled internal graphics, but that did not help either. Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Rhoadman

Thank you everyone for the replies. Although I don't have a laptop, the following seems to work.
Solution 1
On Windows 7, right-click the shortcut to Adobe Premiere Pro, and choose Run as Administrator.
Using this method, Premiere Pro opened successfully. Using the shortcut directly, the error persists. It looks like we will just have to open the program using this method.
Many thanks for the replies.

After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong? The self contained movie box is not checked.

Hi
Did You go via Compressor ?
Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
I don't
I do
• In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
• Select ALL - Clips and Audio
• Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
• then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
• then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
• I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space
Your Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - Needs lot's of free space to work OK - I never go under 25Gb free space on this one,
Good Luck - Yours Bengt W
