Premiere Pro won't Support MKV Problems: 

1. "No MKV file will open in Premiere Pro CC. Only pictures will open. I've tried to convert MKV into MP4 for importing to PP CC, but it would not open. When I drag a MKV into Adobe editing program, it says none of the items dropped in Premiere Pro CC can be opened. If I manually search for video files using the program, it says there was an unknown error." 

2. "Hi all. My brother in-law sent us two .mkv videos he wants me to use in a video I am cutting for him. The only trouble is, I've no idea how to get them into a format Premiere Pro CC can handle. I've searched and the only solutions I have found are infinitely complicated for me." 

3. "Gents, I normally receive my stuff in a format I can stick on Adobe Premiere Pro CC. MKV's are not compatible. What I want to do with the current project is take the MKV I have and convert it for use with Adobe Premiere Pro CC(on a PC and not on a MAC)."
