After struggling to import an image sequence of PNG images for hours, I finally discovered that Premiere is very sensitive to the file name. The program that generated the PNG images named them "movie10000.png" ... "movie10201.png". Even though the last three digits of the filenames ended in numbers sequentially from 000 to 201, Premiere did not like the preceding two digits ("10"). I think this is a bug that should be fixed!
I was using Premiere Pro CC 11.2.2 (build22). I just upgraded to 12.0, and it has the same problem.
There was no error message, but the file that is imported into the media browser is 4'30" long (from 189 still images) but it seems to be only the first image. Also, at 30fps, 189 still images should make ~6min.
I am running Win10 Pro, version 1703 on an Intel i7-7700 4.2GHz with 64GB RAM.
When I use the same images with VirtualDub, it works fine.
Thanks for the additional information, Criss_Hartzell.

Do you mean 4 minutes and 30 seconds?
If you are importing your images as an Image Sequence it will appear as a single image (or a single thumbnail) in the Project panel.
