Try using the media browser to import the mlv files

Have I missed this somewhere in the forum, because I just scoured the entire forum for this and got nothing.  Did I just make a breakthrough discovery that PPro CC works native with MLV raw files direct off the card (with a few minor glitches).  I was just mucking around with all these converters and programs and thinking to myself, how great would it be if Adobe just supported MLV native right off the SD/CF card.  Well, it seems that PPro CC does just that... almost 100%. 

I was dragging in some CDNG clips into PPro and then I went to my Media Browser and saw my MLV RAW folder there and decided to click on it just for fun to see what happens.  To my amazement PPro said "processing clips" the MLV raw clips!!!  Then I then dragged those MLV raw clips into the source monitor, set in/out marks, dragged them into my timeline and edited, added effects, and exported!  All without any problems or crashes and glitch free scrubbing in PPro!  The only glitch is there is a weird triangle that progresses down the frame as the clip is played and I saw a few dead/cold pixels in the output file, but that might be something in my settings that caused the cold pixels, not sure.

Has this been posted already on the forum?  I couldn't find it.  Could this be a major breakthrough for ML developers?  I sure hope so!!!  Fingers crossed!     Please chime in with any ideas or fixes for the triangle or cold pixels, because other than that PPro works native with .MLV raw files right off the card!  I can't believe this hasn't been discovered already.

Here is a screen capture of PPro CC showing the MLV clips...



And the mystery arrow that progresses down the screen with the .MLV extension next to it.



Here is the MLV ouput to H.264/Viemo setting...

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank both of you and the rest of the authors, programmers, and members of this community for all they have done and continue to do.  ML is an amazing piece of work!

Yes, MLV2CDNG is the "Holy Grail" for us ML users (.MLV format) and I await the day when I can just drop files onto a GUI and open up the converted files in PPro CC without any glitches or pink cast.  I was considering hiring one of those whiz kid programmers from freelancer.com and just have them write the program.
