Premiere CC 2017.1 (April) long/stall/crash upon import

I also have this problem. It takes ages to import and export XML's. Normal file imports are taking more than 10 times as long. And just after I happily upgraded a project to 2017.1 that I need to start editing today.

I'm going to downgrade but just getting the XML's of the synced timelines takes forever.

No new title tool for me

down grade to 2017, u can solve the problem

you are right , that project contain 12 days R3D footage, and the problem happened

another project contain 2 days R3D, that is still okay

So I've run a bunch of tests and there definitely seems to be something wrong as projects get larger when it comes to importing assets. Please do note that I am speaking of large projects (mine is over 10,000 assets big so far) but I am running into issues as soon as I have over a thousand or so files in my project.

I've tried moving the project file to a different local drive, moving the assets, clearing the cache, moving the cache directories to a new local drive, clearing the preferences, re-installing all Adobe products, and ran a few different tests on dummy test projects to see if there could have been a Legacy issue stemming from my older master project.

All points to something Adobe changed in the latest version; so... please let's try to find the source of the problem and let's roll out a quick-patch as soon as possible? This is extremely inconvenient unfortunately.

same here ! i have a project contain R3D

cannot import any files after upgrade to 2017.1
