[Gorilla_pee28978096jrid]

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.

Hi,

Please provide the developers with more information. See, How do I write a bug report?

Thanks,
Kevin

Anyone else having this problem when importing? Happens with psd files and text syles.

[Bruce Bullis]

Yes; already fixed in PPro beta builds, and will be fixed in the next official PPro release (no dates available).

Hi @rehans50639690 - There are two things going on here.

1. There is a known issue with version 25 that has been fixed in version 25.1 with importing certain files here is a link to the known issues

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

• The Learn, Libraries, Frame.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.

2. You can read this post a workaround is to navigating to your Preferences under General and make sure the checkbox is not selected under "GPU accelerated UI rendering".  Then restart your project.

Let us know if this helps your issue.

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 ? 

[Bruce Bullis]

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

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.

[Bruce Bullis]

Jamie's completely correct, and the issue is already fixed in current beta builds (and will be, in the next official release).

[Bruno22064115y6ei]

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!!

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.

[R Neil Haugen]

PSD like created by what? And on what OS are you?

[Jhomel35283158b4dx]

I'm just stuck in this screen everytime i upload a PSD file on the project tab. Same as when i try to upload a premiere pro project file. Usually i can just do this to ease up my work process, but now it cause me too much steps to get over this bug. 

Version: 25.0
OS: Windows 11

Known issue, fixed in 25.1

[Bruce Bullis]

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

[SEIZE NEUF]

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. 

[Bruce Bullis]

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.

[Tom_edit]

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

[MyerPj]

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.

[Tom_edit]

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.
