Premiere Pro Won't Import Canon MOV Footage (Audio Only)

This is still an issue in Premiere Pro 25.5. I've tested on my M3 Ultra MacStudio (MacOS 15.5) and my M1 MacBook Pro (MacOS 15.2). I get the following error message and cannot import or preview any footage:

• File uses unsupported video compression type "xfga"

Only time I've seen this is with the Canon C70 with XF-AVC Long GOP codec. Media is UHD, 23.976 fps, 4ch of Linear PCM 48k audio. Everything works fine in DaVinci Resolve, so I used that to create optimized media so my team could work with them in Premiere. Couldn't find anything about "xfga" anywhere outside of the Premiere error message.

updating the status

I would like to bump this thread to see if anyone else ever found a solution.  We have narrowed this down to a very specific set of actions to recreate the issue --

If you import your footage into Final Cut Pro X - so the media is actually copied into the Library - it appears to change the file from an MXF containter to a MOV container.  It will then playback without issue in Final Cut or Quicktime.  But if you locate that exact same file in the Finder, and then try to import that same MOV file into Premiere you get this issue.  

The only 2 workarounds we've found so far are to 1) don't use Final Cut, but sometimes you're in a mixed environment and it could be unavoidable or 2) transcode the footage into another format before you bring it into Premiere.  I'm attaching a screenshot of the exact error we get when attempting to import.  And like the OP mentioned, we can playback the audio but the video track appears to be missing in action. 

Bumping this thread since I still haven't managed to find an issue. I can't even load the footage into Media Encoder or Handbrake to convert it into a different file type.

Could you double check your files and report back. I believe the C70 uses MXF and MP4 wrappers for its files. If you don't already have the mediainfo app (https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) You should download it. Drag one of your files in to it and it will give you a bunch of info that might be helpful.
