Premiere Pro 23 not connecting XDCAM Spanned clips

I jsut found this out in 2025 and has caused me a huge workflow problem - unbelievable they havent looked into it after 1.5 years

Just wondering if there has been any movement to get this issue resolved?  Lots of shops are still using XDCAM.  It's a huge dissapointment that Adobe hasn't fixed or really responded to this issue after over a year and a half of it being on their radar.  What do we need to do to get this issue seen by the people who can actually help find a resolution? 

I think the absolute LACK of response from Adobe on this issue speaks volumes. Meanwhile, Sony's Catalyst Borwse (the free version) has been our solution. 

When we invest in a production-level product, it gives me nothing but warm fuzzies to know that when there is an issue, Adobe will be mum on its faults, and we have to rely on external workarounds to provide basic - and previously available within the product line - useability.

I'm having the same problem. This is still not resolved. What is going on Adobe????????

Any update on a resolution to this. Have been trying out Davinchi. In the meantime here is a solution and it free download the Sony Catylist Browse - https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/catalystbrowse The free version will stich the spanned files and rewrap them as MXF that you can then relink the media. Hope this helps. 

I thought I was going crazy until I read this forum. Thank you to everyone who's contributed on each side. I hope for a resolution soon!!! Has anyone found a temporary workaround or plugin that can help with spanned clips? I know I can import and nest them and modify timecode but I consult with an editor who is not technical and am looking for a good solution.

Thanks for passing it to the bugs team. That said, I have not heard from anyone, and it's reall - REALLY - impacting our workflow; but only in a negative manner. We have new machines, we can't use them with the features we are paying for in Premiere - features that used to be there and have been removed. I know we are no the largest shop that uses PP, and I also know, from talking with peers, that we are not the only shop experiencing this bug, and nobody I have talked with thinks it was a positive choice to remove XDCam from a production workflow. Our cameras are are harder ($$$) to replace than the editing software.

Going from 23 to 24 is supposed to be progression, not regression. Please pass this along to the bugs team to, with my very specific message: please (bugs team) contact me so I can make a decision how to work on my next few projects.

Hi @gleske,

Yes, please move this to the bug team.

It's in the Bugs forum now. Hopefully, the product team will respond. Sorry again for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin
