I haven’t seen an official list of codecs that are no longer supported from Adobe. I got the warning on an Avid DNXHD Quicktime the other day, which surprised me, because I hardly consider that an old legacy codec.

Okay…the current Quicktime drama is that Adobe dropped support for some older codecs.
If you are a version behind, you are probably referring to the Quicktime drama where IT guys wont allow Quicktime to be installed on a PC at all……so you cannot play .mov files in Premiere.
Most places have installed Quicktime, but refrained from installing the player or browser plugin to deal with the security hole.

It’s not possible that the proxies are not letterboxed, cropped or stretched/squeezed. It has to be one of them. Your original footage is wider than 16:9. If the video appears normal and there are no thin black bars at the top and bottom, then the sides have been cropped off…or you have squeezed the wider frame within 16:9, where it will appear slightly stretched vertically.
It sounds to me that your footage is letterboxed and to make it fill the monitor you are zooming in to 107.
You should make proxies that match your film aspect ratio.

H.264 hasn’t been discontinued. You can still encode to H264 in an mp4 wrapper. Does that not work with captions? Its not part of my workflow, so I don’t actually know. If it works, but you need a .mov wrapper to meet spec, you can open the mp4 in QT Pro, then “Save As”. Apologies if this has been tried already.

1920 x 1080 is 16:9 but 4096 x 2160 isn’t.
Are your proxies letterboxed, cropped or stretched. It matters.

I had a friend who owned several of these. They were gorgeous and a joy to use. The performance was far superior to they typical Mac or PC most people were using at the time, despite the fact the internal hardware was rather ordinary.
The OS was really well designed, stable and efficient. -
Last time I did this, before Avid had custom frame size projects, I just rotated the monitor to edit and then rotated the final product in After Effects for export.

Could be corrupt media or something wrong with your computer. Do other media files play normally? If you can post one of your media files (DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.) maybe one of us can test on another system.
-
Maybe. Never tried. They won’t have the same clip names, but they do have timecode. You might want to import them then go clip by clip through the sequence to determine which media file corresponds to the offline clip. Then manually “Link Media”. It would be a daunting task for a complex sequence.

If you had your previews set to some high quality format, such as Pro Res or DNX HD/HR, you can play them or import them just like any other video media.
They have no audio, however. Unless you always rendered your audio, you won’t necessarily have matching audio preview files
