.MOV format in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Good evening,
I'm contacting you regarding a problem:

When I import my videos filmed with my camera (Gobandit GPSHD) which records in 920p at 30i/sec and saves the videos in .MOV format, with video codec: AVC and audio codec: AAC (LC), Adobe Premiere does not recognize the file... It imports it, I put it in my timeline, but during the preview in Adobe Premiere, the screen stays black... I believe this is a codec problem... However, not only have I tried encoding my videos with different audio and video formats, but also, the videos [played with VLC] noticeably lose quality!

My request is therefore the following: Can we add the codec for my videos to Adobe Premiere? Or can we convert them to a format that does not alter my videos in any way? Or... A solution to edit my videos on Premiere CS6...

Thank you in advance for your responses!

I would like to specify that I have Adobe Premiere CS6, the full and updated version, and I'm on PC, Windows 7 64 bits.
When playing my videos with QuickTime, the following error message appears:
"Error -2002: the sequence contains a bad public atom of sequence"

    Hello, I don't have this software but I'm warning you that there are many messages about acquiring videos from the new camcorders.
    You need to buy the software and register on the site to unlock the AVC H.264 codecs
    MPEG2, etc. You need a "beefy" configuration to edit and export in HD.
    Always include the complete configuration of your computer in your posts.
    PS: try changing the .mov extension to .mpeg, it might work if you've purchased the software, of course.

    Remember to mark it as "resolved" if that's the case.

      I have already gone through many topics... Without a clear answer.
      The software is activated and updated.
      I think the problem comes from the error code:
      "Error -2002: the sequence contains a bad public sequence atom"
      However, I also don't know how to make my videos play with QuickTime...

      Are you going through Gobandit Studio?

      For "ezagezez," Gobandit Studio does not offer an adequate conversion?

      Well, no, it simply imports the videos from my camera to the computer...

    I reiterate my response.

    Premiere Pro CS6 supports the AVCHD formats 1920*1080 and 1280*720
    For my part, I have never encountered issues with MOV files and Premiere Pro.
    It may be that the necessary codec is not installed (or enabled) on your computer.

    I don't have a specific answer regarding error code 2002, but it seems to be related to a codec issue

    Try installing the latest version of QuickTime to see if that resolves the problem.

    Otherwise, you need to contact the Adobe Premiere Pro Support Center, which should be able to provide you with a precise answer: http://www.adobe.com/en/support/programs/premiere/

    I know my answers may not suit you, but when one agrees to make a large investment in video, the first precaution to take to avoid problems is to become familiar with the basics of video and technical terms.

      I feel that we are starting to understand each other!

      My codecs are activated, as with videos from other devices [reflex, bridge and even simple compact], the MOV files are playable, and if I remember correctly, with the same video codec...

      My software is regularly updated scrupulously, so I don't have any issues with the versions.

      Oh yes, this answer suits me perfectly! Nevertheless, there is so much to know, I will have at least learned this.

      Thank you for the help!

      I sincerely think it's due to the video...

      Hundreds of people have this problem... But no real solution... The only solutions are to transfer the videos to iPod... Strange... I think I will create another post regarding the error code!

      Thank you for your help.

      Should I mark this as resolved, or should I leave it as is?

        hi
        I also had the issue with .mov from Adobe Premiere CS6. After struggling a lot, I installed the software provided with my camera and QuickTime, then imported through the software and now it works.

      If you consider the problem to be solved, then it is preferable to mention it.

    I know that by changing the .mov extension to .mpeg, Premiere recognizes the video.

    Hello,

    MOV is not a video format, but a container file that contains either Mpeg2 or Mpeg4.
    In your case, ezagezez, it is Mpeg4 AVC (AVCHD).

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 supports AVCHD in standard resolutions of 1920*1080 and 1280*720.
    Be careful, many entry-level camcorders, particularly action cameras, adopt resolutions unsuitable for editing.

    Adobe Premiere Pro is primarily aimed at experienced videographers (with suitable equipment).

      Hello,

      The resolution of my camera is 720*1280...
      This answer doesn't help me at all. I think everyone knows that the Adobe suite is designed for very knowledgeable people.

      I found a solution: I encoded the videos in .MOV, but with the M-peg video codec... however, the video significantly loses quality...

      I remind you that MOV is a container file, so you cannot encode (codec) in MOV.
      What you attempted to do was transcode your AVCHD format to Mpeg2. This operation results, as you may have noticed, in a loss of image quality.


      Premiere Pro CS6 handles AVCHD format (1280*720) contained in a MOV file without any problem. When opening the project, you just need to specify the AVCHD format > 720p > 720 30p

      "I think everyone knows that the Adobe suite is made for very knowledgeable people." A Premiere Pro user (who has paid for their license) knows that you encode a video format, not a container file.

      I think that Premiere Elements, a very easy-to-use software, is better suited to your needs.

      Yes, I noticed that I was losing quality, despite ending up with larger files...

      I had already done these "manipulations," but Premiere shows me a message saying that my element [my imported video] does not match the sequence settings... I have the choice to either keep the settings or modify them... In both cases, my video goes onto the timeline, but it shows a black screen, and there's no sound...

      However, I didn't ask which software was more suitable for my knowledge, but simply how to make Premiere recognize my file. The best way to learn is to practice. If I'm stubbornly using Premiere, it's for a reason. Furthermore, if the problem exists in Premiere, there’s no reason it wouldn’t also be in Premiere Elements, so we're back to square one...

      I still believe that this "bug" stems from the error message:
      "Error -2002: the sequence contains a bad public sequence atom"
      When I read it with QuickTime... Several forums have led me to this path, but without answers...

      I was very surprised when I saw that Premiere did not recognize my video... And since everything is up to date, everything is enabled, etc... It can only come from there... I'm talking about the video...

      When you move your video to the timeline, ask Premiere to modify the sequence settings to match your video. Premiere Pro CS6 displays a message when it doesn't recognize the settings.
      That should solve your problem.
