Premiere Pro on Mac OS imports projects from version CS3 onwards. You need the Windows version to open projects from earlier versions
and save them as a current one.
About file formats
Some filename extensions—such as MOV, AVI, MXF, FLV, and F4V—denote container file formats rather than denoting a specific audio, video, or
image data format. Container files can contain data encoded using various compression and encoding schemes. Premiere Pro can import these
container files, but the ability to import the data that they contain is dependent on the codecs (specifically, decoders) installed.
By installing additional codecs, you can extend the ability of Premiere Pro to import additional file types. Many codecs installed into the operating
system (Windows or Mac OS) work as a component inside the QuickTime or Video for Windows formats. Contact the manufacturer of your
hardware or software for more information about codecs that work with the files that your specific devices or applications create. If Premiere Pro
does not import your file, see this FAQ video tutorial,
"Why can't Premiere Pro import my file?" for an explanation.
Video and still-image files that you want to import must not be more than the maximum dimensions allowed. For more information on maximum
dimensions in Premiere Pro, see the
Premiere Pro Work Area blog .
