AVI and MP4 files with no video in Adobe Premiere

So I’ve been trying to put together a few videos recently and I’m having a lot of problems importing files into Adobe Premiere. It seems that most AVI and MP4 files will only import as sound files even though the program specifically says it’s a video file. The audio is the only information available for editing. Is this a codec problem? From what I’ve read so far, it seems to be. If so, what codec would I need to correct it? Thank in advance!

I have the same problem, my .MP4 videos only show up as an audio file in adobe premiere cs3.

Yup same exact problem here!! Super frustrating been at it all day trying to figure this out! Can anybody help???

Did either of you guys get a fix for this? I’d be very interested if you did, I’ve had to revert to using 2.0

Thanks

Yes, please, please share your solution. I have the same problem. How can expensive software like Premier not get this to work. SOOOOO frustrating.

same problem here...i read on other forums that it might be because of codecs or codecs conflict, try to update

both AVI and MP4 files can be edited.

you can just try some other convert software like DVD Creator, it can convert various video formats
