When trying to move a Premiere Mobile project to the desktop the upload seems to succeed from the phone but trying to import and open that on the desktop yields this error.

I think we can see from that failure that Adobe is using Open Timeline I/O to make this conversion. That's admirable but if it fails, how does one get a project from Premiere Mobile to Premiere Desktop?

Hi @ScottSimmons @Dana Pride 2 @KevinNLPG

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Before we dig further, can you share how did you go about importing the project on desktop? Specifically:

Did you use File > Import > Premiere Mobile Project?
Or did you download the project as a zip and try to import it via File > Import directly?

That'll help us narrow down where things are going wrong. Once we know that, we may also ask for your Premiere desktop version.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for the reply @Alana34534040iqyr Can you please go to https://www.adobe.com/files/projects/ and share the OTIO file with me? I’ll review and determine what is going on.

At your convenience, please email it to pgaraway@adobe.com

Thanks for your patience. I’ll get this sorted out
