Does Adobe Premiere Pro support ProRes RAW? Why you can’t import ProRes files to Premiere Pro or video import slow? How to play my 4K ProRes 222 files in Premiere Pro smoothly? Read on to find the reasons and a 100% working solution to fix such issues.
Why can’t we load ProRes files to Premiere Pro CC freely?
Premiere Pro is a democratic tool for all skill levels when it comes to video editing. It provides easy to use features and tools to help you to get started quickly and easily. It is by far the best video editing program out there if you are recording something that will be consumed by thousands of people. We can load many downloaded and recorded video formats into Premiere Pro for editing, including Apple ProRes, ProRes HDR and ProRes RAW. But the weird thing is that, sometimes you will find it a painful experience for Premiere Pro to import ProRes files created by Nikon Z9, Blackmagic 6K Pro, DJI Zenmuse X7, Blackmagic 6K G2, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Sony FX3 and more. Most of the time, you can only add the Apple ProRes file the timeline of Premiere Pro. As for Sony, Nikon, DJI and Blackmagic’s ProRes/ProRes RAW files, just sound, no video. Wait a second! Officially, ProRes is covered in the list of Premiere Pro supported formats. Why would this still happen?
“Now with my new fresh install of Premiere Pro CC (22.5 and earlier was the versions I had no problem importing and editing these same ProRes files previously), these same ProRes files import as audio only and I cannot seem to find how to have both audio and video to import.”
"when I try to import a file into Premiere Pro it says the error could not be determined, it is a ProRes RAW file if that matter"
“I recently updated to Premiere Pro CC 2022, and every time I import a ProRes 422 video file I only get the audio track of that file. I can open the file outside of Premiere Pro with VLC just fine, and it plays both audio and video. The imported file says that there is no framerate, and that the file is audio only.”
Mostly, codec incompatibility is to blame. This probably causes Premiere Pro not opening ProRes error or Premiere Pro freezing after ProRes importing if your computer hardware configurations lack enough power to handle the stress brought by compute-intensive ProRes 422 and ProRes RAW.
