Last updated 11/6/2011
Premiere Pro can import files in the formats listed, provided the codec used to generate a specific file is installed locally.
For example, to play and edit an AVI file encoded with the DivX encoder, the DivX codec must be installed.
Note: The free trial version of Premiere Pro does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from
parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version
of Premiere Pro software.
