ME crashes loading Premiere project with "import sequences natively" option enabled

Most of the time, when I export a Premiere 25 project to Media Encoder, ME crashes during the project loading process. Even trying to open the project directly with ME also fails.

Today, while testing disable some ME options, I found that disabling the "import sequences natively" feature allowed me to load the project into ME correctly, and it started rendering.

I know that disabling this option increases the rendering time, and I don't like it.

 

Could anyone explain why ME crashes with this option enabled when loading a Premiere project?
Do you need any kind of log?

 

Thanks

    Adding some information because after loading the project in ME with "import sequences natively" option disabled and seeing that my 25-minute project took over 14 hours to render, I went to re-enable the option and reset the project (remember, it was already loaded) and now it's rendering OK.
    In case it helps... because it seems the problem is in the process of loading the project to ME.

    Hi @Alba34596777hrq3,

     

    Thanks for submitting your bug report. Can you provide more details about your sequence and media settings?  Are Premiere and ME both on the same version or different versions?  We need a few more details to try to help with the issue. Please see: How do I write a bug report?  Sorry for the frustration and thanks for reaching out.
