AVI is a Premiere Pro supported video format. But you may still fail to import an AVI file into the software or there is only audio (no video) after importing. That is due to the unsupported video codec in your AVI file. In this situation, you can transcode AVI to Premiere compatible formats, and all you need is the simple AVI video converter:

According to helpx.adobe.com, AVI is a native video format for import to Premiere Pro. However, not all AVI files are supported. The software only allows DV-AVI, Microsoft AVI Type-1 and Type-2 formats.
• DV-AVI Type 1 is a single stream used to store audio and video.
• DV-AVI Type 2 contains a video stream and one or more audio streams. The file size is bigger than a type-1 file due to the extra data.
If your .avi file is none of these types, Premiere Pro will not accept it.
You can get DV-AVI video files when transferring the content from your DV camcorder to your computer. You can also use WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro to convert AVI to DV-AVI (or other video formats supported by Premiere Pro, like H264 and H265). The following article is focused on the AVI Premiere Pro conversion. Please free download the converter software and read on.

Another method to import AVI to Premiere Pro is to install the required codecs. For example, if your AVI file is from a NewTek product and contains a NewTek SHQ3 (4:2:2:4) codec, you can find the codec from "Updates and Downloads" under the "Codecs and Utilities" section and install it. Then, your AVI file can be imported perfectly into Premiere Pro. Of course, you can install other codec packs, such as K-Lite and X Codec Pack, which already contain everything to play all common video and audio file formats.
However, you should not rely too much on third-party codec packs. Some of them are bundled with malware and bring risks to your computer. A safe video transcoder like WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is a better choice to solve such video format/codec not supported problems.
Sometimes, Adobe Premiere Pro will reject to import of some AVI files with an error message, saying “File format not supported”, “Unsupported format or damaged file”, or “Codec missing or unavailable”. This is caused by the incompatible codecs in your AVI files. Luckily, you have two ways to fix the Premiere Pro AVI import error. One is to transcode the AVI files, and the other is to install the required codec. The above article shares detailed instructions for your reference. Wish you all success!
