I’m having the same problem as Ted. I’m using Adobe Premiere CC, latest updates, shooting with a Canon XF300. I noticed this problem started back in OCT 2013. I imported my footage in the Project window, by right clicking “import”. I have tried it two ways.
1. I selected all of the video files in the bottom folder. (AA1422). So it included .XML, .CIF, and .SIF. I drag the entire accepted video files onto my Sequence. (I get the window saying that some of the video files were not able to import). When I look on the timeline, in the new sequence, I see duplicates of my footage. The total length should’ve been about 1 hour but instead the whole timeline is about 6 hours. Which isn’t too bad when I’m doing B-Roll footage but for a straight Interview it sucks.
2. I tried importing through Media browser (for some reason I don’t like using it…) but I got the same results.
So I am not a fan of clip spanning. Is there a way to turn it off? Or any suggestions about what Ted and I are experience?
Thank your for your time.
