Error when importing png file to premiere pro

[ayuba63154593]

Hello all,

I get an error when attempting to import a file to premiere pro cc. The error message is Unsupported format or damaged file. The file opens fine in AI & PS.  I have shared the logo below.

Premiere CC 2018 premiere to be changed back to the CC 2017 interface, especially the time line tool, personally think that folding is not convenient, start the interface or premiere CC 2014.1 look beautiful, editing and output premiere CC 2018 added into MKV format, gamma, add color brightness. Premiere, CC, 2018 people think that subtitles are good, graphics do not matter, not practical.

I can't open that file in Premiere, Photoshop or AI.

If you can open the file in Photoshop, try saving it as a PSD and then importing into Premiere.

Thank you for the reply.  You are right it does not open in PS. file format module cannot parse error.

I have copied the original psd file in the same shared folder. The png file was my attempt to remove the white background. I had left the file open in PS so i assumed it would open in PS. Having seen your comment i closed the file in PS and tried to open it but yeah file format module cannot parse error. Weird.

I will retry to remove the background again and recheck. I would appreciate it if you would give it a try as well.

Cheers

That .psd file opens without issue. You can remove the background right in Premiere, if you want, and pass the step of converting to png:

Wow. Cool stuff. How do i do that ?

Thanks again.

File > Import and navigate to the .psd file, click import.

The Import Layered file tool will open, select Individual Layers and uncheck all but the logo

and click OK.

It will now import just the logo layer from the file.

If you want to have the logo in white as opposed to black, apply the Invert filter ( Effects > Channel > Invert) to the clip on the timeline.

Thank You. Something to do with the effect Keying and color Key.

Look forward to premiere cc 2018 back to premiere cc 2017 interface, especially the timeline of the tool, personally think that folding is not convenient, start interface or premiere cc 2014.1 beautiful, look forward to premiere cc 2018 add mkv format to add the editing and output, Add gamma, brightness. premieere cc 2018 personally think that the subtitles are good, the graphics do not ye is not practical.

Look forward to the new version of premiere cc 2018 back to premiere cc 2017 interface, in particular, the timeline before the toolbar folding inconvenient, start interface or premiere cc 2014.1 beautiful, Premiere Pro CC (2017.1) personally think that the graphics panel is not practical The There is PS, AE is enough, look forward to restore premiere cc 2017 subtitles panel interface. Look forward to the new version of premiere cc 2018 to solve the import SRT format subtitles garbled problem, add the import mkv format editing and output, add color gamma, brightness.

期待新版本premiere cc 2018改回premiere cc 2017的界面，特别是时间线前工具栏折叠不方便，启动界面还是premiere cc 2014.1的漂亮，Premiere Pro CC (2017.1)个人认为图形面板不实用也不好用。有PS、AE就够了，期待还原premiere cc 2017字幕面板的界面。期待在新版本premiere cc 2018解决导入SRT格式字幕乱码胡问题，添加导入mkv格式的编辑与输出，调色里添加gamma、亮度。

Hi,

I appreciate this is an old post, but this problem has resurfaced on the new Silicon Macs.

Whilst @Meg The Dog 's suggestion is brilliant, if you're using a pure Adobe workflow, the problem persists if you have content coming in from thrid-party tools. In this CorelDRAW on Windows.

Here's the workaround that may help you.

Attempted to import png into Premiere - Failed

Attempted to open png in Ps - Failed.

Exported as .jpg - Succesful opem and import in both Ps and Pr.

There is something in the encoding of certain .pngs that Adobe software does not seem to like.

Best

Make sure the png are 8 or 16 bit and rgb.

Yes, RGB is quite important
