Premiere Pro hangs on long MXF files
There is a long-standing issue with Adobe Premiere 2018/2019/2020 when trying to load some long MXF files - it hangs. Old version hangs right after putting long clips to timeline. New versions of Premere hangs a little later - at first clips does not played and applications stops responing after deleting them from timeline.
After some tests I found it hangs on some MXF files longer than exactly 2 hours. It works fine with 02:00:00:00 file and freezes on file with 02:00:00:01 duration. Issue appeared only on file with variable-length frames like XDCAM HD/EX format; it does not appeared on DV/DVCPRO/DVCPRO HD files.
When enabling tracing via XXX for ImporterMXF module the following internal internal error could be seen:

It will be good for Adobe to fix this issue.
