"Hi guys, I've been struggling with one problem none has been able to fix so far. I'm editing some MOV files coming from a Panasonic HC-X1500 through Premiere Pro CC. For some reason the 4K MOV files are imported without any audio. I have processed a lot of Panasonic HC-X1500 videos in the past without any issues at all and I'm following exactly the same procedure – the only change is that I have updated my Windows 8 to 10. This is really strange and I'm wondering if it's related to some update in Premiere Pro CC and if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!"
