Import Sequence not working after Oct 17 update

I have updated CC today. I'm sharing work with a colleague via importing sequences. This has worked perfectly until today, could be a bug to do with the new multiple projects feature?

Premiere opens the Import Project dialog as usual:

Then, as usual, I select the sequence I want to import:

Click OK...

... and nothing happens.

We have tried to import sequences from updated and previous versions of CC. We used the Import... dialog as well as dragging and dropping from the Media Browser. We tried a different machine (MacPro 5,1 & iMac 5K Retina Late 2015), both running OSX Sierra 10.12.6

Please help! It's a live project and we'll loose a day's work if we have to revert to the last version of CC.

Thanks!

    Hey guys! it seems that in the new release (12.1), the problem was solved. Do you confirm? i tried quickly on my mac with an example workaround and everything works well! What about on windows?

    Many thanks!

    Confirmed! Thanks for starting this thread, it helped me out of a desparate situation. Didn't realise how important an update could be. Premiere has been really buggy of late

    Okay, everyone.

    It seems that this issue is now resolved with the 12.1 update. I have tested it on macOS Sierra but apparently the PC version works as well.

    Thanks for keeping this thread alive and submitting bug reports to Adobe.

    OK So, I have had the same issue as most of you. When I try and import a project into my current project through Media Browser nothing happens. so I played around with some things and kept trying and found a way to make it work. you will just have to do it in two steps. here we go: import project file/ import project window opens and make sure that the “allow importing duplicate media” is deselected and click ok. It will allow you to import the project but every time I do it I have to relink the media to that project but It will allow you to import the project through the Media Browser. It is not ideal and takes a little more time but it works. Hopefully this will help Adobe to narrow down the problem. It must be related somehow to the linked media.

    Sean: Try to trash your preferences and see if that helps. When launching Premiere Pro, hold down these keys:

    For the Mac, press Shift+Option

    For the PC, press Shift+Alt

    I don't believe this problem existed on Windows.  At least, I was never able to duplicate it.  Sequences from other projects always imported fine.

    After updating, it appears to be fixed for me.  I am on windows and it seems my projects import correctly now!

      If it can help someone. If you drag and drop a sequence from project opened from browser, you can drag the clips to your new timeline, but it seems that premiere doesn't import nothing, if there's a nested sequence inside the relative timeline...

      This bug is an absolute flipping nightmare and making my film a flipping nightmare while trying share sequences with my director. Totally unforgivable oversight. I want to swear very badly right now.

        I just came across this issue after updating to 2018. After trying out the suggestions here and nothing working I found an additional workaround. If you re-install 2017 and open up a project in each version, you can copy and paste from timeline to timeline. Just copy whatever part of the sequence you want from the older version and paste into a timeline in the new version. I was surprised it worked quiet honestly!

        Hi

        Please can everyone read the thread from the top before posting. This is all getting very repetitive and anyone from Adobe who might look at this, (in our dreams!), will get bored very quickly and ignore it! The problem and only one being discussed here is that you can't copy sequences anymore without bringing in duplicate media and folders. There is no way to do this. It is a bug with the 12.0 update. The only way of cancelling it is reverting to the 2017 (pre October) update which is a problem if your colleagues are working on newer versions. If you are working on the same project between different editors/ colleagues this is a huge problem generally. Adobe need to fix this and the more of you that fill out bug reports the better. I've filled out 6 now...its a pain in the butt but apparently the only way we might get anywhere.

        Cheers

        Ale_Zakko had the right idea (good job!), here is a break down:

        1. Open the project you want to import to.

        2. Open the project you want to import from WITHOUT closing the one already open

        3. From the new project window popping up, simply drag and drop the items you want to import to the project window you want to import to.

        4. When finished, close the project you want to import from.

        As far as I understand selecting and drag-dropping a sequence auto-selects and imports the bins and material connected to it, and it actually gives you a lot more control of where you want the files and bins to wind up in.

        Good luck!
