The File has an Unsupported Compression Type in Premiere Pro CC (Solved)

[@erictran4384]

Note: you can also trim 1 second or so of the file you want in the window's Movies & TV app and try again with that freshly coded file

Thanks for the trick bro,,

Thanks a lot bro....

You can always find the right answers in the comments. Thank you king

[@nemesis5481]

_How the f**k am i going to trim it when the file cannot be imported into the program in the first place!!!???_

[@YJKadventure]

tried putting in different folder first and that worked for me. I had a group if videos that had this issue so this method was best for me. Thank you!

[@KepoArtStudio]

Glad it helped, you're welcome :)

[@DA_AMAZING]

when i was importing the file which i change to .avi i got a different error message "We were unable to open the file on disk" how do you solve this one?

[@KepoArtStudio]

Try to change the format to any different video format. If still none of which work for you, you might want to try to convert it to a different video file format using a 3rd party video converter. Check the pinned comment for a recommended one.

[@DA_AMAZING]

Omg it work I downloaded the win xd video converter and it worked, I saw many videos on TH-cam but this is the one that worked thank you so much!

I am definetly trying your method, I just switched the output setting on OBS to .mp4, should work now for me!

Where were you able to change the that in OBS?

Thank you! In my case, it's only some files or half of the files in the folder, but now it works.

Didn't work for me but it gave me an idea. I was outputting MKV's from OBS as that was the default. I changed to MP4 and it imported first time into Premiere.

None of those worked for me, but the slow way is to upload to TH-cam, wait for it to process the full file, then download. Not perfect, but it works.

don't work for me(((

[@OtherMe3]

I just did it many times and realized to forgot to pot in Mp4

[@maronesuperbarosa]

The best way to repair the file is use FFmpeg and run the command "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -c:a copy output.mp4" replacing input.mp4 with your video and replacing output.mp4 with whatever you want to name the video. It will "re-encode" the video and give you a fresh healthy video. This is better than trimming 1 second off in Window's movies & TV app because it preserves the encoding settings of the original file.

[@italia7169]

this is the real way to do it

[@italia7169]

Hello guys! If the manual format change doesn't work for you, here I would like to recommend a good software named WinX Video Converter for converting your video to different formats. Easier & free way to convert the files for Premiere Pro CC: bit.ly/3MLXObL Refer to that link to learn more some possible causes of non-working video files after taking a shoot. It's an easy-to-use 4K/HD video converter, resizer, and editor with GPU acceleration.

[@padma_santika]

it doesn't work for me, do you have any solution?

[@KepoArtStudio]

I have no idea except those three ways I mentioned in the video. May I know how many times you tried to change its file format? I can only suggest you change the video file format to every different format as possible. I hope this helpful and good luck!

[@rus1616]

I have 2 solutions you can try. First convert the file in a video convertor software (I use wondershare). Convert to whichever video format and try importing it to premiere pro. Second method, Import the file to after effect then render it out as MOV file (QuickTime) if that fails use the converted file from first method and render it out in after effect. Hope these work for you.

[@KepoArtStudio]

Yes, this is a better idea. But the problem in this way is that not all users have After Effect installed on their computer. As an additional trick for this, we can use other video converter tools which are lighter and quicker to install if you don't have one yet such as Freemake Video Converter, VideoProc, Any Video Converter, and more options.
