Slow import of assets containing closed captioning

I am attempting to import (link) a 90 minute plus asset using Premiere Pro v. 15.4.2 for on-air versioning.  I have two Full HD OP1a .mxf assets that are identical, except one contains Closed Captioning on line 18 and the other does not..
 
The asset without CC is acquired in less than a minute and the version containing CC requires more than 10 minutes to accomplish the same task. It makes no difference if Preferences > Media > Include Captions on import option is checked or unchecked. The outcome is the same when CC is present..
 
The additional time is affecting workflows... please advise.
Thank you

Has there been a fix for the slow import of an XDCAM 50 MXF Op1a file with embedded EIA-607/708 captions into Adobe Premiere 2024? This issue renders Adobe Premiere almost useless. This issue apparently dates back many years and seems to still be happenening . I know I can "disable import of CC" however I need the captions. Thanks all for any feedback.

    I think at least one other user reported that turning "include captions" off did not change this behavior.

     

    I'd file a bug report:

    https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911233-premiere-pro

     

    But turning it off would be the same as importing the version without the caption, right?

     

    Is the captioned version importing correctly?

    The closed captioning is passed correctly, intact and is exportable.

     

    Seeing that assets of extended duration that DO NOT contain closed captioning are aquired in a more reasonable amount of time (less than 1 minute), I feel the problem is a result of attempting to import (link to) those assets of extended duration that do contain closed captioning, whether or not cc is being stripped on import. To be clear - engaging or disengaging the "Preferences > Media > Include Captions on import" option has no effect on the duration of import - which requires at least 10x more time.

     

    I have been unable to find a buried menu that could address this issue and will file a bug report. Thank you for the link.

    I don't think it is an issue of "linking," but that may be a matter of semantics. Captions are encoded in the Project File, as hex code. a) It should be possible to turn off import of the captions. But if you need them in the project, you wouldn't have them without importing them separately. b) It should not take that much longer no matter the mechanism.

     

    Post a link to your bug report so it can be upvoted.
