how to fix the importer reported a generic error in premiere pro

importer reported a generic error is a very simple error and we give a two solution for the simple error ..

Solution 1 : Change the extension of the file
You can just simply rename the files in the same directory (ex.. we change .mp4 to .MTS ) and then try importing the files to Adobe Premiere Pro.

If it doesn’t work, then just move them to a different location.

Solution 2 : Move the Files to a Different Location or Rename Them
In some scenarios, the issue might be due to the specified path of the video or audio files. In such a case, you will have to change the path of the files That is move them to a different drive or just a different folder. This was reported by many users and has helped them resolve the issue.

Thank you so much! Moving the files to a new folder worked perfectly. I think you can also just change the folder name.

I'd never imagined that something so simple would fix it, but in this case it did, thanks!! By the way, changing the name of the file, even in the same folder, also worked for me.
