See correct answer: The problem is already fixed in beta builds, and the fix will be in PPro's next official release.

Just finshed  session with Adobe Support.
Premire just can't import a PSD. Does not matter if you chose Merged layers or sequence or individual layers.
The previous version is fine.
No error msg, just get stuck in the import progress dialog.

I am wanting to import a 25.0 premiere project into another 25.0 premiere project and Premiere gets stuck at the "import" phase.

 

I just get a window that looks like the image attached below, and the project never ends up getting imported.

 

Please help!!

Hi @Bruno22064115y6ei  - I believe your issue is a known issue.

 

Issue: Windows customers may see an “Import Files” dialog box that never completes in the following conditions:

  • The Learn, LibrariesFrame.io panel, or any panel listed in Windows > Extensions, is turned on.
  • An AAF, Final Cut Pro XML, or EDL file is being imported.

Workaround: When importing these file types, first close the above-listed panels. The panels can be turned on again after the import has been completed.

I'm trying to upload a .prtextstyle caption file to my project and it keeps getting stuck on the "import files" window. I saw another user post about this a couple weeks ago and the solution was to update to the latest version, but I am already using the most recent update.

The fix, which we've already made available via beta, will also be present in the next official release; no dates available.

I add my voice to the others : I have the same issue. And I wont use a beta in production. 
So, please fix the production software we pay every month ASAP. And by ASAP I mean : we are paying for this.
If this is fixed in beta ... why cant you roll it as an update in the production ?

Versions : v25 for AE and PR

Platform and OS : Windows 11

 

TDLR: 2 issues - PR cannot import AE files + PR timeline disappears for some reason

 

Post update to the latest versions of After Effects and Premiere Pro (v25), when importing After Effects files (.aep) into Premiere Pro, Premiere Pro simply hangs on "Import Files..." loading screen and does not proceed further. Previous versions worked perfectly fine! File -> Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import AE composition works.

 

 

Once you manage to import AE composition, the timeline is glitchy and in many instances, simply does not appear, despite being functional (the AE composition plays on preview on PR)

How did this version pass quality control / get sign-off at Adobe for release? This is ridiculous; I made the terrible mistake of updating in the midst of a project.

I hope someone can help with your specific issues.

 

Clearly though, the forum posts here and the other places I participate show the vast majority of users are working in 25.x happily. It's not perfect for all users, naturally. And that's frustrating.

 

That thing with the disappearing clips on sequences is simply bizarre, and thankfully, not that widespread across the user base. BUT ... for those that have it, it is awful.

 

I had it in one of the public beta builds. At that point, setting the Preferences option for Scaling to "none" was the temp fix. I don't know if that would help you, or if this is an entirely different problem.
