<p>Can you give us the codec informations from your video file using <a href="https://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mediainfo</a> or FFMPEG ?</p>

<p>As Premiere Pro plays well the video, you can export it to a lossless format such as Apple ProRes and then re-open it in After Effect.</p>

<p>Don't know why it's not working.  But for a quick fix, I'd transcode the video in Premiere to 1920x1080 ProRes 422 and see if that works in After Effects.</p>

<p>Strange. You could try installing K Lite Codec Pack. Reboot</p>

<p>I’d also clear your Media Cache. </p>

<p>I'd reccomend installing the official <strong>Microsoft Camera Codec Pack</strong> if you haven't already. </p>

<p>See if that solves it. </p>

Why a 2nd answer? Also, note that OP is on a Mac.

<p>I've recorded 7 videos yesterday. All recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The files are playing fine from Finder and Quicktime. But when I import them to After Effects, <strong>only one of them</strong> is not playing any video but just sound. After Effects imports the file as audio file, as it looks to me, still, it says, it is a file of the type "Quicktime".</p>

<p>Does anyone have an idea, what I could look into or what I could try?</p>

<p>Finder's file info says:</p>

<ul>
<li>Dimensions: 1920x1080</li>
<li>Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode Color</li>
<li>Profile: HD (1-1-1)</li>
<li>Duration: 11:49</li>
</ul>

<p>Adobe Premiere CC 2018 does also play the video as it should. I'm quite a bit confused and have no idea, where to look or what to try.</p>

<p>Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>

I've recorded 7 videos yesterday. All recorded on a Canon 5D Mark III. The files are playing fine from Finder and Quicktime. But when I import them to After Effects, **only one of them** is not playing any video but just sound. After Effects imports the file as audio file, as it looks to me, still, it says, it is a file of the type "Quicktime".

Does anyone have an idea, what I could look into or what I could try?

Finder's file info says:

* Dimensions: 1920x1080
* Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode Color
* Profile: HD (1-1-1)
* Duration: 11:49

Adobe Premiere CC 2018 does also play the video as it should. I'm quite a bit confused and have no idea, where to look or what to try.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
