  • Import Error on ProRes LT file

    Posted by Matt Campbell on December 11, 2013 at 4:14 pm

    I keep getting this generic import error on a file I know is correct because I render everything out the same and its worked in previous projects flawlessly. That is ProRes LT w/audio @ 1280×720 59.94. For some reason I can’t import them any more. Screenshot below, although this doesn’t provide much info.

    I’ve cleared the error in bottom right of timeline window and tried again with same result. Tried creating new blank project and still no import. Any ideas?

    I do and have tried with no problems. I even tried rendering out a new file Motion and importing. Nothing. Lastly i tried importing some DSLR footage as a test and that did not work either. Something screwy with premiere. First time I’ve seen this.

    I forgot to mention this was originally a FCP sequence which spit out an XML and brought in to Premiere. But as a test I guitar created a new project and still nothing on import.

    Hi Matt,

    Which version of Premiere are you running? I believe it was CS5, and also CS5.5 before the patch, would choke on ProRes if it had 4-channel audio (2-channel worked fine). Just something to check

    Thanks

    I’m running CS6 and my ProRes files are only 2-ch. stereo. But like I said, they’ve work for the 20-30 projects I’ve done. Just all the sudden, can’t import video. I’ve even tried rendering our ProRes 422 and even uncaps. Nothing.

    Going to try to reset Premiere and/or trashing prefs along with a restart. will report back aft wards.

    Ok, I have no idea what was going on but resetting everything seems to have worked. For now. I tested re-importing the same file and its now working fine. That was a strange one.

    Crisis averted for now. Thanks anyway to your comments.
