Corel Video Studio is a video editing application by Ulead Systems, which is a unit of Corel. It is famous for its creative suite and flexible options. It is, in general, a reliable tool that supports a variety of video input formats such as AVI, WMV, MP4, M2TS, MTS, 3GP and so on.
Despite the support offered for various formats, some users complain about difficulty in importing MP4 files into Corel Video Studio? How can that happen? We just read that Corel Video Studio supports MP4 right? Yes, Corel Video does support MP4 files; however, you should understand that these MP4 files are just a container and can have many kinds of codecs within them.
So, if an MP4 file uses codecs that Corel Video Studio doesn’t support, then you won’t be able to import the file or work on it. In order to resolve this problem, we provide some simple troubleshooting steps in this article.
Solution 1: Install Quick Time Player
Corel Video requires that you have third-party media player/software to use certain types of video files. Hence, QuickTime Player may be required to play or edit MP4 and MOV files.

Solution 2: Convert MP4 to MOV format
The second solution is to convert the MP4 file into a format (like MOV) that is supported by Corel Video.
