Where did you get the presets? How are you importing them?

Lay out the steps you're going through ... where you parked the presets on your computer, how you're importing them into PrPro. We'll see if we can spot something.

Plus ... have you contacted the YouTuber you got them from about this?

Lately we are having quite a few posts about not able to use free presets from Youtube.

Guessing the presets are not that well designed.

The thing I see all the time with this is that the presets include third-party plugins that you (OP, etc.) do not have installed. 

Even if you do have the third-party plugins installed there are still other variables it can be. You simply don't know what you're getting when you download presets from the internet unless they are coming from a reliable source. There are so many combinations of what they could be, versions they were created in, Mac or PC, what versions the third-party plugins are, etc. It makes this issue rather difficult to troubleshoot. Piracy and cracked software are also a rampant issue surrounding this (Sapphire is a popular plugin, for example, and comes with an incredibly high price tag for a hobbyist, so lots of people using Sapphire effects are using cracked software, which is not something we're going to be helping to get working here - or at least I'll speak for myself there.)

The fact that you can import some presets - presumably without third-party plugins - means the import function is working and it's most likely the plugin-related reason.
