import problems

I am having trouble importing an .MOV file.  The files are not corrupted as they run correctly when opened. However in premiere pro I cannot "see" the files or thier folders when  I try to import them

How are you importing it?

Do other mov files import OK?

 

Please use the free MediaInfo and post a screenshot of the properties of your media in tree view:

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate before importing into Premiere Pro:

Here is a tutorial:

Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:
