>The XML now imports without hanging but many media files do not link correctly.

You're describing an entirely different issue, than the title topic. 

If you can provide the .xml, and the media it's referencing, we'd be happy to pursue this new issue further. [Private upload space available upon request; let me know.]

I would not declare it fixed just yet.  The XML now imports without hanging but many media files do not link correctly. They display the missing frames stripes in the sequence, even though that is not correct.  The media is there.  Seems like a time code parsing issue.  The same XML generated by Resolve works perfectly fine in Premiere 24.x.

It's possible to use the beta to import your XML, then (using the same .prproj) move back to the official release for your other work.

The work around doesn't work for me. I tried removing literally every panel in my workspace and importing other premiere pro project files still hung. It's unfortunately not a silver bullet.

Hi @Tom_edit @SEIZE NEUF - Please see pinned posts for workaround in version 25

I already did, a while ago. But it's still relevant here because simply telling people to move to a beta version when the beta version has a pretty glaring accessibility issue is a bit on the nose frankly.

Tom, you'd be better off posting that under a different topic. It's good to know these difficulties while the developers are really working on things.

meanwhile, I wish I could be using the beta right now but it's currently near impossible to see edit points when tracks are completely minimised... so its almost impossible to see what i'm doing

You're certainly welcome to not use the fix, available today, in beta...

 

Adobe can provide no dates for the release of unannounced product versions.

We understood that it's fixed in the beta, and will be fixed in the next release. But, when is the next release is the main concern now, as some of us dont want to work with a beta.
