Error importing ProRes 4444 with alpha into Premiere from Keynote

I have an odd issue and I'm not sure if it is Premiere's problem or Keynote's, but when I export a Keynote presentation as a movie file using ProRes 4444 with transparency selected, and then import into Premiere, I get this error: "We were unable to open file on disk".

 

I can workaround it by ONLY exporting the slides in Keynote that have transparency (no fill) and exporting the others separately as ProRes 422. But when I try exporting multiple slides, some having a "no fill" background and some having a fill, then it gives this error in Premiere.

 

Any idea what could be causing the issue and how to fix? It might be a weird Keynote bug.

Hmm...strange. I would think that ProRes 444 should work perfectly in Premiere Pro. Could you include a screenshot of your export settings from Keynote? I assume there's some kind of export options that Keynote asks you when you export you presentation.

But the 4444 movie file plays totally fine in Quicktime, so there's not an obvious indication why it wouldn't import into Premiere
