Can’t Import Panasonic AJ-CX4000 4K Videos to Adobe Premiere Pro due to Codec Missing?

When Adobe Premiere Pro users attempt to import HD/4K videos captured by Panasonic AJ-CX4000 camcorder, or other devices, they may receive an error message saying ‘codec missing or unavailable’. The missing codec probably refers to HEVC which is the successor to the widely used H.264. HEVC is getting increasingly popular and becomes the preferred codec to encode 4K recordings. However, the well-known Adobe Premier Pro doesn’t seem to keep up with this trend. It still cannot be fully compatible with this new videos.

If you’re using a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC, it is no surprise that you see ‘codec missing or unavailable’ error. This is because trial version doesn’t recognize Panasonic AJ-CX4000 4K MOV files. Only licensed Adobe Creative Cloud members can use HEVC codec. If you’re a licensed user but still can’t import HEVC videos in 4K, you can try transcoding HEVC to H.264 or other Premiere Pro supported format. Below are 3 solutions to solve Panasonic AJ-CX4000 HEVC codec missing or unavailable on Premiere Pro.

Way 1: How to fix HEVC ‘Codec missing or unavailable’ – Download and install HEVC codec for Adobe Premiere Pro

Step 1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro and enter your license.

Step 2. Import your HEVC-encoded video into Adobe Premiere Pro, and then you may receive a prompt as shown in the picture. (Some users might not get this message.)

Step 3. Click OK to perform HEVC codec installing.

Step 4. Restart your computer.

Once done, Adobe Premiere Pro should be able to import your Panasonic AJ-CX4000 4K MOV footage without popping up codec missing error. However, not everyone can install HEVC codec successfully.

“Yeah I got that popup and pressed OK, but I got some error. It says ‘The importer reported a generic error’.”
“So I clicked OK and got a message saying the codec was missing.”

And, the import error may still persist even if you have managed to install HEVC codec. What’s more, installing new codec may cause new problems. It may lead to codec conflict and failure of reading some files.

Way 2: How to fix HEVC ‘Codec missing or unavailable’ error – Upgrade your Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro extends the support for HEVC files with the release of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015, but doesn’t support LongGOP MOV wrapped HEVC files until the arrival of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019. Therefore, if you need to import 4K files in MOV format, may be from your Panasonic AJ-CX4000, into Adobe Premiere Pro, make sure you’re using version 13.0 or later. Below are the steps to upgrade Premiere Pro to the latest version.

▪ Select or deselect Remove old versions. If this option is checked, your previous version will be removed.

Step 5. After finishing all settings, click Update to start upgrading Premiere Pro CC to the most recent version.

Way 3: Convert HEVC to an Adobe compatible format to fix ‘Codec missing or unavailable’ error.

If you are still unable to import HEVC-encoded files into Adobe Premiere Pro CC after upgrading, it may be because your HEVC files use variable framerate (VFR).
