Importing MPG4 h.264 Premiere Issues
I slammed my head against the wall for hours trying to figure out why h.264 MP4 HD video from my snazzy new Samsung digital camera wouldn't import into Adobe Premiere CS3.
Answer: Change the file extension to .mpg
Change filename.MP4 --> filename.mpg
It was almost devastating to find out that it was such a trivial thing. But I searched all over the place and couldn't find it, so I went a few months without editing any of my videos. I just decided to take another look around and 15 minutes later I came across this Knowledge Base article on Adobe. If the simple renaming fix doesn't work for you check out that article because it has some more information about XDCAM EX files or something.
Here is a list of all file formats supported by Premiere Pro CS3.

That's weird, don't u think
That's weird, don't u think so?
Premiere should be able to understand any format, like Vegas 7.0c does...

why on earth cant they release a small update to fix this!
i went and bought premiere elements (which is awful).. and CS4 which is heavy... so now I can just go back to pro1.5 and do all my editing again ;)
thanks for the easy fix!!
I tried it, but it didn't
I tried it, but it didn't work... Although now I can import the video-file in CS3, it turns into an audio-file... :(
have you guys installed MPEGProHD4 or anything else?
Also, when I change the name to ***.mpg I can't even watch it in Windows anymore.
...and the link to "Knowledge
...and the link to "Knowledge Base article on Adobe" is broken... can someone fix this??
I know this is an old post
I know this is an old post but it helped me with CS5.5 that I got yesterday. I have a Kodak Zi8 and wanted to mess around in Premiere with a video from the camera. The video records in H.264 and the file extension came up as .MOV. I renamed the file extension .mpg, the video imported into premiere and my rage issues have subsided.
