heic files crash when imported and re crash when re opened?..

Hello ​@MikeDeee it seems like you are having problems bringing Sony .HIF photos into Premiere? I also cannot get that to work at all. Premiere 26.2.2 rejects .HIF files from Sony FX30 with “File format not supported”. If I rename the Sony .HIF photos to .HEIF or .HEIC then Premiere will allow them to be imported, however the photos are black, the picture doesn’t appear. These are 4:2:2 HLG HEIF photos.

These .HIF Sony photos are supported perfectly by MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7, Apple Photos, Photoshop 27.7.0, Camera Raw 18.3.2, Lightroom Classic 15.3.1. Also by last year’s versions of Davinci Resolve 20 and Final Cut Pro 11. But not by the latest Premiere 26.2.2.

​@jamieclarke I have filed this as a Feature Request also, with a sample .HIF file. 

Hi @MikeDeee - 

The team is aware of this issue,  We’ll update this thread as soon as we have more information or a fix becomes available.
