Default Video Import Help mp4

Hey all,
So I'm really new to using Reaper for video and I can't get an mp4 video I made on my phone to import. I can create a new item on a new track for the video but it just says "offline." I do have VLC3 so I converted it to another file type. That didn't work either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Reaper uses external video players (libraries) to play the videos. Actually its VLC or ffmpeg. Please go to options/media/video/import and click on the "show available decoder" button to see what decoders are available.

If there is only one decoder (and older version of ffmpeg gets shiped with Reaper), you could try to install VLC3 on your system or to install a newer version of ffmpeg.

Just make this check and post the results here. If you need help with installing alternative/newer video decoders, just ask here. Other users or I will tell you, how to do it. It could also be that your videos are encoded with a creepy codec which isn't supported. But I'm pretty sure its a decoder problem. (But no promises.)

Greetings
Eli
