    Even doing it with .psd files. Premiere is totally unusable in this state. Cannot import any single still frames with alpha channel combined.

    I’m on the road but I just remoted in to my macOS Sierra iMac running Premiere 11.1.1 to test for you.

    I don’t see that behaviour opening old projects with RGB+Alpha TIFF or importing TIFF into new project.

    Anything I can try for you?

    Hmm – thanks for trying Matt.

    It’s a 4K prores4444 file that has been keyed in after effects and I’ve exported beginning and end frames along with the final output which is a 4Kprores4444.

    Each time I try and import any file that has an alpha channel, premiere gets a spinning beach ball and then crashes. Really weird. It’s not like I’ve even got the file in a timeline yet, and the raid is nowhere near half full.

    Had to give up after an hour and use fcpx to do the edit instead. Logged the issue with Adobe but not heard anything yet.

    Should have said – running via a 2013 Mac Pro, 6 core, 32GB Ram, D700s and a gtech studio xl raid via thunderbolt 2. Latest version of premiere installed 2 days ago.

    The files causing the crashes have RGB colorspace and not CMYK, correct?

    System:
    Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
    Win 7 64-bit
    32GB RAM
    Adobe CC 2015.02 (as of 6/2016)
    256GB SSD system drive
    4 internal media drives RAID 5
    Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF.

    Yes – exported directly from an after effects composition with rgb colourspace.

    Just to add to this, the problem is now occurring with .mp3 files – in 2 different projects. One is a large project from a library over 1.8TB in size, the other from a small project with less than a few 100GB.

    Really stuck at the moment. 3/4 of the way through a project and can’t get any new files imported – will have to move back to FCPX soon which is a shame as this is the first time I’ve used Adobe in quite some time.
