Question

22 minute clip importing as 5 seconds in duration

I continue to be stupefied by Adobe's lack of support. You can pay this company almost a $100/month and still get shafted. I just shot a 22-minute video and when importing, it shows up as 5 seconds. Yes. 5 seconds. I'm attempting to use HandBreak to solve this issue but to me this is just unacceptable, Adobe.

I having the exact same problem. i tried EVERYTHING! WTF?!

i have 3 videos from my iPhone and another 3 videos from another iPhone. all at around 20 minutes each. they all import just fine except for one which shows up as a 5:01 second file. 

i tried to re-export from Photos, i tried starting a completely new premiere session with nothing in it. dropped and dragged the video in and still...5:01 seconds. i have 30 gig of space on my hard drive no other apps open.

iPhone video is almost always VFR ...  variable frame rate ... which doesn't play well in NLEs. Have you tried using ShutterEncoder or HandBrake to modify those files to CFR?

I fully agree with the anger at adobe's ignorace . We pay as well a super high fee for a, so called, enterprise-support.... and get nothing since 4 weeks.....
So, I as well, would be interested what fileformat and codec you are using.... but more .... where do you store these files ?

On a networkshare (server)?
I'm asking , because , as I found out , it looks like PremierPro is checking the duration by counting the frames inside the file during import, as well as checking the amount of audiosamples.
That , as I suppose, is done until either the end-of-file OR, if something indicates that there is the end .... for example if there is a micro-timeout in reading ...either because of networking issues , or, in case adobe reads direct from the windows-cache .

In any case ... we would be very interested ... if you could provide some information about your infrastructure... so we maybe can find a workaround by ourself... adobe will not be helpfull..... and as soon a we have everything stable we definitely will quit the supportcontract .
