Avid Media Composer is a video non-linear editing program developed by Avid. Avid Media Composer natively supports to edit many video formats, but problems often happen when editing MP4 file in Avid Media Composer. See some examples below.
Hi, guys, I can not import MP4 with Sony's xavc-s codec to Avid Media Composer, instead I got a message saying the file type is not supported. How to solve this? Do I need a converter to transcode the MP4 to other formats or do I need some plug-in?
I try to import one MP4 file downloaded from internet to Avid Media Composer. I tried many times but all failed. Is there some solution to this?
Now the following article will help you to solve the failure when importing MP4 to Avid Media Composer. We have to say that MP4 is not supported well by Avid Media Composer. Many users have reported the failure when importing MP4 to Avid Media Composer, the reason for which lies in Avid Media Composer limited support for MP4 and the codec compressed with MP4 file. Actually Avid has released AMA plug-ins to add MP4 H.264 support on Media Composer 8.9 and 8.9.1. But MP4 may be compressed with other codecs other than H.264 or your Avid Media Composer version does not support to install AMA plug-ins.
So in order to import any MP4 file to Avid Media Composer with or without installing Avid AMA plug-ins, a better solution is to convert the unsupported MP4 to Avid Media Composer natively supported video format with the help of a professional MP4 to Avid converter, like Avdshare Video Converter.
