PNG Import Crash

[jeffp39117009]

Hi,

I've recently updated my Mac (Studio Max) running Monteray 12.3, and Premiere Pro 22.3

I cannot import a PNG with transparency. The program crashes and I have to force quit. 

Any ideas for me please? Mostly I'm finding it crazy that there doesn't seem to be a ticker/support system for Adobe (not that I've ever needed it before) this one I cannot find an answer to.

Thanks.

Try saving the png to psd in Photoshop and then import into Premiere Pro.

I'll give that a go. I did try a tiff and that also failed. JPEGs no issue. Good suggestion though. Cheers

I just imported a 1600x1200 RGBA .png file into an old utility project and it went fine.

 Maybe it's an Apple Silicon issue?

My older iMac 27" works fine with the same images. Just the new system, all a clean install. So maybe M1 related.

So I found the issue.

I am getting instances where certain files written to the server (Synology NAS) by photoshop are not being given correct permissions. Photoshop flags this when trying to open the file later, Premiere doesn't and instead get's stuck trying to import it.

So even though I'm using it as the user with read/write permissions, if the 'eveyone' is 'no access', then I cannot import the file. It's not all file types weirdly, so that's my next hurdle.

Many thanks to all for their input.

Cheers
