Premiere Pro 23 not connecting XDCAM Spanned clips

Just upgraded to a Mac Mini M2 and jumped from Premiere Pro 2019 to Version 23.4. I Sony EX footage that shoots as spanned clips and when I bring them into premiere it brings them all in separate. Previously it has stitched together the spanned clips for me, but now where I should have an hour long clip, I have a bunch of 13 minute clips. that is if I drag the folder in from Finder. If I got through media browser it's even worse, it only sees the first 13 minute clip and doesn't even show me the rest of them.

Even opening a project from an older version where the spanned clips were correctly imported and already in use, it still brought them in individually and doesn't recognize them as a larger single clip, so it breaks those projects.

Pretty lost here as this is really screwing up my workflow. any help is appreciated. Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

That sounds like a frustrating issue. After copying the entire contents of the SD or CF card to your computer, have you tried importing via Media Browser and not File > Import? That is the traditional way of importing spanned media. Let us know if it works for you. Sorry for the problem.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hey Kevin, After spending the last 3 hours on the phone with support (Well worth it because we got it figured out) it turns out that the issue is the Silicon vs Intel version of premiere. In the Silicon version it's not reading the correct timecode of the spanned clips - it seees that there are spanned clips but it's reading the start timecode of all of them as 00:00:00:00, so it can't stitch them together. The support person went through creative cloud and opened up the Intel version of Premiere and everything opened correctly with no issues, so until the issue is resolved in the Silicon version, we'll just have to open the Intel version and use that one.

Hi Daniel,

I got your message, and it sounds like XDCAM wrapped in .mp4 is not respecting spanned clips in Macs running Apple Silicon. The team has a bug filed on the issue and is looking to resolve the problem. I hope they can fix it soon for you. I will add your comments to the bug report internally. Sorry again for this problem.

Thanks,
Kevin
