Hi @b.uptofly:

For some clarification, is the PNG file 1,400 pixels wide or tall or is it 1,400,000 pixels wide or tall?

Also, is it saved in RGB Color Mode (not CMYK Color Mode).

Sometimes if a PNG file is being problematic, it can be helpful to open it in Photoshop, make a basic edit that requires saving but results in the image being the same (like inverting the colors using command/control i and then inverting the colors back), and then save.  The resaved PNG may now import as expected.  If not, the next thing to try would be to save the PNG as a JPEG or a TIFF and then try to import that.

On the chance the crash is related to a Premiere Pro issue rather than a source footage item issue, I'd take the time to reset Premiere Pro.
