Adobe Premiere Pro - FLAC Audio Extension/Addon?

Took me a while to realize the reason why there is no audio for a video i'm currently editing in adobe premiere pro is that i've used FLAC as audioformat for said video.
As a result there is no audio in adobe and neither after exporting the project.

My only hope now is to find a plugin/extension that will provide support for FLAC audio in adobe premiere.
I found this GitHub - fnordware/AdobeOgg: Ogg plug-ins for Adobe programs
It's old but might still work, only one way to find out.
Just... well i don't know what i'm supposed to do, there is a readme with some info but complete lack of an installation process leave me in deep waters. Installation instructions come on...

Its a source project so you would need to build it. if you cant do that you might have to render the source video out as a audio format that your software supports. Plenty of software around that can do this like something like handbrake or something, use it to reencode the audio stream of the video into mp4 which will have AAC audio or something.

Did you know that Adobe-Premiere-Pro was made by the same person who went on to make Final-Cut-Pro??? Maybe you should checkout Final Cut as well. That being said QuickTime ( depending on variant ) has an editor built in.

Adobe has dropped support for some of it's products and usually you should be able to search for updates within Adobe.

What about "Davinci Resolve" ??? It seems to be free but is meant for BlackMagic stuff.
SONY Vegas Pro ( not free depending on source ) can work via 32-bit and 64-bit depending
on version. However the program is huge.

Adobe Media Encoder could also solve your problem.

Exporting/Extracting ( removing ) the FLAC and then editing in a dedicated Wave-editor to something like ACC/AAC ??? or whatever the highest format supported could also work. Then you reattach it in Premiere.

HandBrake is also a good converter for many video types but can results in a big file. It is free and most files will output into MP4/MKV container. However it might be limited by those.

................................

.FLAC is the highest compression next to .WAV The WAV is the most highest level and you should be able to convert your FLAC to WAV. Reason why people use FLAC is because unlike WAV you can compress the file. Leaving at the highest setting still gives you some level of compression and thus a smaller file.

.......................

Like that fact then you love the next. .OPUS is a newer compression unit but few support it. However is better then .M4A

QuickTIme isn't that long dead? security issue?

WAV is also not a compressed format and its also loosely a container that can hold other formats, FLAC is a lossless compression format these two are not really compatible they serve different means.

Just encode the audio into AAC Adobe supports it.

Well apparently this person ( OP ) encoded it into a format that they are unable to work with. I have been fooling around with ripping CD tracks and then comparing in "WaveLab". I tried with Flac v. Wav and apparently the Flac loses values as well.
Flac is able to compress but it does not mean it's source is not uncompressed.

I really do not see any other uncompressed formats asides for .WAV it just seems simpler. It just seems like the most used format that claims to be uncompressed without loss in comparison to other formats. I know it is big ( Like PCM ?? ) but is the most editable.

I mean for converting for the sake of saving storing space, then maybe yes.

The loss is going to be non distinguishable unless they doing some high end production or movie where there is going to be audio in certain frequency bands. There is not many reasons why someone would want to use a lossless format unless it was critical to the production.

In this case whatever they were doing they mentioned they used FLAC, later to realize that its not supported in their editing software. Either way just re encode the audio stream into one that is recognizable by the editing software something like yes WAV or AAC will work.

FLAC is lossless uncompressed so it does not loose information you must be confusing between both lossless and Bitrate which are related but interdependent of each other. Compressed formats(lossy) get shelfed on either ends top to bottom of the waveform because we cannot hear extreme ends of the scale unless its EQ'd and boosted in some cases, where lossless is the entire waveform not compressed. Bitrate on the other hand is the overall waveform quality the three contexts are different but in similar context to each other.

FLAC can be compressed but the waveform remains intact and never gets shelved.

Just because an audio file has less Bitrate does not define if its lossless or not and you would not be able to tell the difference unless you have the tech or the mediums to distinguish or unless you use a really tiny bitrate.
