Import Adobe DNG to premiere pro

I shot a series of timelapse raw pictures and converted them to DNG files using Adobe DNG converter.

 

The exported dngs can be imported to Davinci Resolve for editing but Adobe's very own Premiere Pro 2022 can't recognize them or import them. Is there any luck I can import these raw files to PR?

 

I attached one photo as example if any one want to test it out in PR or Davinci.

 

patch 1: It looks like the converted DNG is not DNG enough to be recognized....

Premiere has never actually worked with DNG files, those were a photoshop "stills" thing as far as  the Adobe video people were concerned.

 

So if you have DNG still images, you need to export them from Lightroom or Photoshop as jpgs, tiffs, or png files.

PSD files are natively supported in PPro, so if you export them as PSDs (consider doing this as a macro inside Photoshop), you should be good to go.

    Thanks for the hint! I would rather stay with Davinci for such senario...

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      I was thinking the same thing. However, it is still annoying that Adobe does not support its own files...

      Please, no. Like not ever.

      Why wouldn't you want all the audio tools of Audition in Premiere Pro? I don't think Blackmagic Design implemented Fairlight into Resolve that well. It is as though Fiarlight was tacked on.
