Hi,

When I import an MP4 clip into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following message:

"File Import Failure

151_0010_01.mp4

Error Message

The file has no audio or video streams."

I have the latest Quicktime, and I have reinstalled Premiere Pro CS6 a few times already.  If anyone knows a fix for this, I would greatly appreciate it.  My system and clip info are found below.  Thank you, Robert.

I encountered a similar problem.  I had quicktime files that would play in the quicktime player from the desktop, but wouldn't import the files "the file has no audio or video streams".  I had just reinstalled quicktime, and Premier with no change.  Finally realized that we had Barracuda protection that was at fault.  It was preventing communication to the quicktime codec and thus Premier could not interpret the footage.  Another symptom, I would also launch After Effects and it would tell me that quicktime wasn't installed.

I solved this by uninstalling Barracuda.  We reported the fault to Barracuda, and have not seen any change in the software.

Here is a thing we found to work for file based footage of DVDPROHD 1080i60  . We used Adobe Media recorder CS5 that would able to accept and then recode the original mp4 files. It might be a rather lengthy procedure (depending on how fast is your computer and how much footage you have)  but if you could not find other solution that at least would output for you files that you could import into Adobe CS6 and start working.

Best of luck

I almost shit bricks when my animations went offline, and couldn't link them back to their original files.  Especially since I had to deliver final files to client by EOD.  Thankfully this helped.  I cleaned my cache, restarted the computer, and I was able to relink my media.  There seems to be too many major problems rising with the latest premiere cc 2015 on the new mac OS, El Capitan.  I'm switching to final cut x as soon as I'm finished this project.
