Source: Get Canon G7 X MP4 Work in Premiere Pro CC on Yosemite



"Hi, I shot a lot of H.264 MP4 videos of a wedding ceremony with my Canon G7 X camcorder. Now, I need to do some edit work in Adobe Premiere Pro CC on Mac Yosemite for providing wonderful visual effects and memorable moments for the couples. However, I was failed on the very first step. I even could not import MP4 files into Premiere Pro CC. What’s the problem? Thank you for any tip!"

H.264 is a delivery format that is not designed for editing. Some people experience no problem editing H.264 MP4 clips in Adobe Premiere Pro, while others are not so fortunate. After searching online, I got some tips on this issue. First, if you can play the file back through QuickTime 7. Simply open the file in QT 7 and go "File>>Save As… >>Save" as self-contained movie and it will now work for Premiere! Second, you can also have a try to simply rename the .mp4 extension to .mpg and expect it to work. I had tried two methods above. Although I could link the videos into Premiere finally, the video quality was totally damaged.

Of course, it's not what I want. If you are also looking for a frequent and simple solution to edit Canon G7 X MP4 files in Premiere Pro CC without quality loss, I highly recommend Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac (Review) , it can convert Premiere unsupported MP4 to Premiere Pro CC supported MP4; Convert Premiere unsupported MP4 to Premiere compatible other video formats like MPEG-2, FLV, DV and more.
