Importing camera Phone Video Problems Premier Pro 1.5

Hi all,

I relatively new to the whole adobe experience and hence I’m not really up on
supported formats, what does and doesn’t work etc...I’m currently assembling a
'movie' of various videos taken on a recent holiday and among the large
collection of videos we have some have been taken using a camera phone running
windows mobile 6.

The videos are recorded as mp4 (im not even sure if this is the same as mpeg4!)
and when I try and import them Premier Pro says the file type is not supported.
When I convert them to .avi using various (I tried several) converters, Premier
Pro says the compression format is not supported.

Can it be done and if so how? I’m not too bothered with the audio or quality as
the videos will form part of a larger montage with music dubbed over the top,
I'd just really like the videos in the movie. It doesn't even matter if its .avi
really, just anything that Premier Pro 1.5 will work with.

Any suggested methods I will look at no matter how round-about they are!

Any help in regards to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I recently recorded something at work on my mobile phone, when it came to adding
it to premier i was stumped, I checked the net and the only options people had
was to use a quicktime hack....which I didn't like....
After an hour I thought well lets see what other apps video can go into. Find
out the entire length of the recording example: 1:20.

In After Effects create a compision for 1:20 and import the footage..
Add the footage to the compision...size may need to be adjusted....
Amazing all you need to do now is export the footage , with audio selected, to
an AVI or MOV with highest quality set and set to render..

Then export the avi to premier and your done...

Hope that helps
