    Importing Sequences takes forever

    Scott McKenzie Community Member

      We are working in a shared storage environment with 4 editors runnig Premiere Pro CC.  We set up a Master Project with all the raw media, then split it between 2 editors to sync and create rough assemblies.  Afterwards, we need to import the assembly sequences into the master project.  I select a bin, Import a project file, select "Selected Sequences", Dynamic Link shows that it's connected to the project, then it takes 10+ minutes (I wish this were an exaggeration) to "load" to project so that I can choose the sequence(s) I want to import.  This is even more frustrating when I import a sequence and it brings in duplicate Master Clips, forcing me to go back to the project and figure out what has change with the interpretation of the clips.  Is there any way to speed this process up?  Projects contain 5000 - 10,000 media elements.
