How Can I Edit My MP4 with Adobe Premiere by Different Ways

by Christine Smith • 2023-06-01 14:01:14 • Proven solutions

It has been previously announced that Adobe Premiere does work with and support MP4 files. However, the MP4 files setting and codec might differ from other MP4 files that we have saved or exported from various devices, players or programs. Therefore, you might still be prompted by an error message reading an unsupported format or damaged file. If you are currently using an earlier version of the Adobe Premiere, most people would recommend you to upgrade it to the latest version, so it would recognize the MP4 file. It might not necessarily work in all cases as you might experience video glitches (i.e. such as slow playback speed or screen crash).

Another method tried and tested by users of Adobe Premiere to ensure MP4 files work is to either rename the MP4 files directly as an MPG, MOV, M4V or convert them to file types or formats that are compatible. The former is not the best option as the quality of the videos is not good enough for web use. Hence, we're going to share 2 effective solutions here to enable edit MP4 with Adobe Premiere.

Part 1. How to export an MP4 video from old version of Adobe Premiere that doesn’t support MP4.

Step 6 Export Setting - Export or Queue.

Exporting an MP4 Video should be done when you are doing all your work and not intending to carry out more tasks on the computer. This is because the export task requires a whole lot of memory and as such all programs should be closed while the task is running.

If you choose Export, click the Export button at the bottom and start exporting the file.

Choosing the Queue button means you want to continue working with a plan of exporting the file at a later time. Click on Queue to send the export video file to Adobe media Encoder program which allows the export of videos in batches at a later time.

Step 7 Ensure you play before you upload.

Do not just upload it to YouTube immediately. It is advisable to play it on your computer to ensure that what you want to upload is of the highest quality that you expect to present for your viewing audience.

Note: Should you have your computer freeze or slow when exporting, you might need to turn off all programs except Adobe Premiere Pro.
