Importing a 2022 Premiere project into 2023 – issues
When I try to bring in a 2022 project into 2023, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
When it doesn’t work, everything looks normal: except the audio tracks have no waveforms to them. When I play them, there is no audio at all.
Thoughts?

Import project via Media Browser.
let it load fully before doing anything.

Hey Paul,
Yes, the import of even 2023 projects/time-lines into a 2023 Premiere Pro project is not stable.
I worked on a project last week where it just got stuck on importing – Media Browser did not help, except for taking forever, before I gave up. Not that my client was impatient, but I can’t charge for “down-time” on something that should work as described.My workstation is not lacking processing or memory…
I suspect that part of the issue could be space on C Drive, not helped by Creative Cloud not being able to be a Cloud only folder.

Consider that the problem might not be the import, but a change (or bug) in the handling of audio files. Silent audio is often a symptom of incompatibility, which I (shockingly) still run into frequently, especially with multi-channel or archival tracks and at version changes. First, try importing just one raw audio file. If that doesn’t work, try loading the audio into Encoder. If it doesn’t load there, you’ve run into a codec compatibility issue. You might reinstall the 2022 version of Encoder and see if that can load the files. If it can, try transcoding to the same or similar format and see if that works. If you also upgraded the OS, this might be the source since Adobe relies on Apple for core codecs and these steps probably won’t solve the problem.
When you say import, are you actually trying to “import” into another project, or simply “opening” the old project? If you can open the old project and it looks fine, do that and drag the contents of the old project into the new project rather than using “import.”

I meant opening the 2022 project using 2023. Haven’t tried the Media Browser import option since, well, I’ve never needed it. I’ve always dragged-and-dropped, or opened files using apple-O. I will test that out and see if there’s a difference.
As for audio compatibility, the files that were giving me the most issues were stock music files. Standard WAV files. Should be a breeze for 2023; especially since they work perfectly in 2022.
I’ve had to go back to 2022 on a lot of these projects for now due to lack of confidence in 2023…

Do not drag and drop: import (not open) into 2023.

Tried both ways. Same results.
