How can we improve Premiere Pro?

← 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.

    Had I known it was removed I would've waited to renew my subscription; unbelievable; what was wrong with leaving mkv unwrapping in the software suite? It's the best multimedia container format in my opinion; ffv1 in mkv has become the standard for archival houses and it's about **** time Adobe stops blocking it for no reason. BM DaVinci Resolve has no problem with mkv. It's open source FFS.

    I think half the requests in here are people just begging for features to return that were unceremoniously removed 4 years ago to, you know, improve user experience.

    It's somewhere strange... We are not talking here about a new feature, but about bringing back a previous feature deliberately removed by Adobe, and we are all excited, almost ecstatic... Imagine if... No, don't... ;-)

    Well, it only took three years from the first message on here to support "being investigated". (Let's not think about how MKV was already supported, and then removed, because...reasons.).

    Now, shock of all shocks, we're seeing a UserVoice update in the blisteringly fast time of only eleven months?

    This totally makes the monthly subscription worth it!

    Awesome thank you Fergus for letting us know! Please keep us updated on progress. I will resubscribe to Adobe once mkv is restored.

    It's being worked on! Wooo! We did it guys!

    For the love of God, Adobe, take some of your huge freaking profits and cover the licensing costs of incorporating this codec. Stop being cheap and make it happen.

    Come on Adobe! You have a great share of editing softwares (we paid) and don't allow MKV... In what world do you live?

  • Christian Simpson commented  ·   ·  Report

    I saw the new update came out today. Incredibly disappointed to see no support for MKV yet as well as no better color management options. Davinci Resolve is completely free and blows Premiere's color management out of the water. Adobe you have to fix this.

  • Nikita Vozchikov commented  ·   ·  Report

    We still really need mkv support.
    It's not about the codecs, really. We don't need any new codecs. Just allow importing mkv with all the codecs supported by Premiere as of today. H.264, H.265 - the most common ones.
