Premiere CS5 not importing images

Trying to import a logo into Premiere to tag some videos that I'm editing. I've been running into numerous problems, however importing the image. I got the image from my client as a .tiff file w/ transparency. I've tried to import it and several other versions that I've done myself in photoshop and nothing is importing.

The errors I get range from unsupported file to unsupported compression to wrong header information. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple- the logo is just type on a transparent background, but just the same, I'd like to avoid redoing it.

Hi. Apparently cs5 premiere does not support 16bit tifs. You might want to try resaving the file in photoshop's native psd format before you import.

The files in question are 8 bit RGB tiffs. I had already changed them from the CMYK that the graphic designer had done everything in. Strange thing is that the .psd files were generating big errors as well.

I finally got things to work by making a whole new file, placing the old graphic in that new file and then importing into Premiere.

Still don't know why the original file didn't work, though... I swear I tried everything- different compression and color schemes (even though it was just black text), byte orders, etc... the .tif is still importing incorrectly (no transparent background), but at least the psd file worked.

I've been finding out that some of these files formats aren't exactly "standard". Apparently some of these graphics formats are as bad as MXF, where both Panasonic and Sony can have compliant implementations with the standard, but still be utterly incompatible with each other...

However, I think the more likely explanation was file corruption. By setting up an empty, new file, you thwarted it by taking the contents out of a bad container...even when you take the TIF and save as a PSD...that data can travel.
