Hi - we have many years worth of Quicktime animations exported in the H264 codec; since the cc 2018 update we cannot import these into Premiere. I appreciate Adobe have decided not to support this anymore for exporting (in both AFX and Premiere) but to stop being able to import existing files is daft. Why?! And is there a work around to save converting 100s of files?
H.264 isn't the best option for editing. I would recommend a conversion process to something more suitable. DNx in the MXF wrapper. Cineform if MOVs are desired.
Yes, I am aware of that, sort of wasn't my query; I have 100s of files already in H264 that I use in showreels. Is there a way of getting them into Premiere save converting them all?
My assumption is that these are QuickTime deprecated files for some reason. Engineering was requesting samples to evaluate whether it is a format that should be built in for import. I think there were some requests in the uservoice system.
The only alternative to conversion is to revert to an earlier version.
