Premiere imports only 1 second of .mov and I can't view the original file anymore

I have an issue importing a big (17GB) .mov file into Premiere. It only shows the first 1 second, although the original is 2.5 minutes long. The video clip is recorded via game engine Unity Recorder. 

 

On the forum I read Handbrake might be a workaround, but I can't transcode it due to max 2GB file upload limit. The worst part is, now even Quicktime doesn't play the original length, but only the first second. The file size is still 17GB even though only the first second is played. It is a part of my graduation work and the rendering took long, so it is a serious issue for me if the original file is now destroyed. 

One second video in Premiere.

 Info via Macbook "Get Info".

 

Here's the info of my video file (via Premiere):

It agrees with all the rest of gathered info: clip is but 1 second long. Nothing to do with Premiere.

I don't think Prores 4444 XQ was a very wise choice.

Hi, 

I don't know if it's possible but can you rencode half of the file in QT player , let's say in ProRes 422 or any other codec and try to open it in Premiere Pro ?


Thanks for your tip! Actually my problem was solved when going back to the standard H.264 codec.
