Question / Help Results cause display errors with Adobe Premiere Pro

[dmandrade1978]

Whenever creating a long video with OBS, it will not import into PP without issues. The video comes up as a green screen. Apparently this is a known issue (which I determined with a Google search)

Is there a setting I should be using so that it can be read by most editors, such as Premiere?

If someone has experienced this before, how did you get around it?

(right now I am trying handbrake and VLC after the fact, but both produce low bitrates, which is a whole different issue...)

If no other solutions work, transcoding the file to a lossless format (thus making it massive, keep in mind) should make it workable. It'll likely seek significantly faster, too.

That's an amazing point. I don't know why I hadn't considered that. I will attempt to do that with Handbrake later. I dont mind the large file size. I just want to recover the video I recorded. It plays in VLC, but unfortunately, thats about it, and I would like to edit it.

Well if you just grab ffmpeg from here, assuming you can work your way around the command-line, a simple:

ffmpeg -i sourcevideo.mp4 -c:v utvideo -c:a copy hopefullyworkingvideo.avi

should sort you out nicely. I'd recommend lossless purely so you don't have ANOTHER lossy compression step. Just note that won't take into account multiple audio tracks. You'll have to get at them another way (also doable with ffmpeg).

Handbrake should probably do it too, but you'll lose some quality depending on your settings.
