How can we improve Premiere Pro?

Restore MKV Format Support

Removing MKV Format support has a negative impact on the workflow of people that work with broadcasting software like OBS. Restore MKV support. Having native support for MKVs, even if they don't edit well without generating proxies, saves me a ton of time that I'd otherwise have to spend remuxing/transcoding files.

    > What others codecs do you need inside .MKV besides FFv1 and FLAC ?

    LPCM audio is a must have for archival users. H.264, H.265, and AAC would be useful for general use. The list could go on but that would be a good start.

    I agree with this opinions.

    Please support mkv files

    With support for for MKV container format should come support for the FFv1 video format and FLAC audio format. This combination is undergoing standardization by the IETF CELLAR working group for use in digital audiovisual preservation. Unlike ProRes and DNxHD, FFv1 is a truly lossless and open format. Due to its flexibility and technically superiority it is used in-house at my production firm as a lossless intermediate and archival format.

    Due to the limitations for Premiere/AME, for now users can losslessly re-mux MKV into the ancient AVI or MOV formats using the free, open-source ffmpeg tool:

    ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy output.mov

    Results may vary depending on the input formats and Premiere's support for such formats.

    The participation of the Audiovisual Archives in the world supporting the best audiovisual postproduction programs that in turn support the use of the MKV container should be sufficient reason to invest in its development

    Have to use some other Converters for MKV conversion and that software are not Trust Worthy ..Please Add this Support in Adobe Encoder ...

    Software development is outside my area of expertise, which is my only excuse for not creating the solution myself.

    The MKV ffv1 format is starting to be very common in the cinema archival world. It would be great be able to export them directly from premiere pro.

    Thanks!
