OBS Files Doesn’t Work in Premiere Elements- Solution

Posted on July 29, 2017 by admin

I wanted to import a local recording from OBS into Adobe Premiere Elements but I’m unable to do that. It doesn’t support .flv and when I use OBS’s feature to remux it to .mp4, Adobe Premiere can only see the audio track. Adobe Media Encoder only sees it as an audio file as well, even though media players play it properly. Any available way to open and edit OBS files in Premiere Elements correctly?

As someone suggested in related forums, Premiere Elements is not able to support OBS recordings perfectly. To solve the issue, we need to change the OBS .mp4/.flv clips to something Adobe Premiere Elements could natively handle, and MPGE-2 format is usually ideal. The process is surprisingly easy and can be done with the help of Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac.

P.S. For those who are running on Windwos PC, you can turn to Video Converter for Windows. Download the software and learn how to convert and import OBS to Premiere Elements.

I’ve been the 3+ month owner of Nexus 7. High using experience on the gadget. The only problem I have is what’s the best movie player for playing 720p/1080p files? I’ve heard the stock player doesn’t play all file formats. What do you use?

The stock video player on the Nexus 7 supports the H.263, H.264 AVC, MPEG-4 and VP8 video codecs. Many file formats are not supported by stock Android player, like playing iPhone .mov, .mkv, .mts, .avi, .wmv files. It seems to be a codec issue. However, third party enhanced video player apps from Google app store resolve the problem. With a bunch of available options, what is the best video player everyone has found for the Nexus 7? Below are the apps I’ve found.

Best Video player apps for Nexus 7

MX Player

One of the best video player. It supports multi-core core processing, so HD movies play without any lag. Easy to forward/rewind and zoom in/out. With new update, it is good but has few issues. Some h/w mode formats are not allowed to fast forward.

BSPlayer

It is compatible with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean MR1 and supports for almost all media files and samba share stream. Playing 720p videos without skipping but no Rock chip support.

VPlayer 3.x

Supported file formats include 720p MKV, AVI, MOV, FLV, TS, M4V and 3GP, even 1080p. You are able to play streamed videos like YouTube, Facebook and Dropbox.

Choose one you prefer. Nevertheless, if you have installed a video player app, still met the video playback issues on Nexus 7. You can go through the video playback tips for Nexus 7 I share here. If you still can’t play MKV, AVI, MOV, MPG, MTS on Nexus 7 well, you can consider getting a video converter app to reformat your kinds of video files to Nexus 7 most compatible format H.264 MP4. I’ve never faced any playback problem after video conversion. Brorsoft Video Converter is the one app I’m using. You can download the trial version to have a test.

1. Download and install the best Nexus 7 Video Converter and run it to import your movie files.

2. Press the Format bar and select “Android > Google Nexus 7 H.264 Video(*.mp4)” as the export with the best video/audio settings for Nexus 7.
