If you are a Microsoft Windows user and want to edit your videos professionally, the Adobe Premiere Pro will be you best choice!

Solution 2: Upgrade Premiere Pro to fix File format not supported error.
If you imported a video in both codec and container compatible with Premiere Pro, but failed with "File format not supported", try the following solutions.
1. Adobe only allows licensed Creative Cloud members to access to some codec, such as HEVC. So your problem might be solved simply by stopping using the trail version and purchasing a code.
2. There is no problem to import a Samsung H.265 clip, but when it comes to GoPro H.265 video, it crashes. Upgrade your Premiere Pro, maybe from 2018 to 2019, to have a try. Sometimes it just doesn't add support for your file. It is said that Premiere Pro CC 2019 hasn't yet supported H.265 XF-HEVC, a brand new codec used by new Canon XF705.
Solution 3: Install codec to fix File format not supported error.
1. Download third-party codec pack. Search codec pack for Adobe Premiere Pro CC online and Google will give you millions of results. Choose a reliable source. Be aware that there might be codec conflicts, leading to chaos of most files unreadable. A method not recommended by Adobe.
2. If there is an alert box like "HEVC Codec must be installed to use this feature. Clicking OK will install and enable this codec for immediate use", just click "OK" and the HEVC codec will be installed immediately. Till now, it seems only to be working for HEVC videos.
3. Download QuickTime. Adobe stopped support for QuickTime 7 era formats and codecs since Premiere Pro 12.1, as a result of which "File format not supported" or "codec missing or unavailable" issue happens when import some older codec videos. Installing QuickTime would solve the problem on Windows 7/8.1. But it doesn't work on Windows 10, according to user feedback.
