I tried to send to the timeline a video clip when a message appeared telling me that the clip had no audio (not true) and that the video could not be used for streaming.
Searched for an answer and was told that Premier Pro CC will no longer accept files with the “.mov” extension, as well as certain “.mp3” files.
The clip was an “.mov” file.
Found a converter and made it an “.avi” file.
Was able to place it in the timeline.
Did a lot of editing creating an opening.
Everything worked perfectly.
Then I wanted to send a different clip to the timeline to continue editing. The new clip always landed at the beginning of V1, pushing to the right the “.avi” clip and ruining my editing.
It made no difference where the playback head was parked in the timeline. It made no difference if I sent an overwright or not. The incoming clip will always go to the beginning of the production on V1, and ruin my editing.
Conformed the sequence, tried again. Same problem.
Decided to Export it, thinking that I could then bring the new clip into a new sequence which will allow me to complete the project, export it, etc., etc.
The exported clip had black video and audio.
Since I am still learning Premier Pro, would like to know if there is a step where I could use “Import” in Premiere Pro to have all clips that I am planning to use in a given project, converted or transcoded to a file format, standard to Premiere Pro CC. and thus avoid this fiasco.
Thanks for the info
