Problems Playing Videos on Premiere Pro 5.5

[IggyLites]

Hello:

I am rather brand new to video. I've doen photography for a while but haven't played with video much (in this mode at least, I work with video for concerts/shows but I don't edit or capture imagery, I work with Catalyst or Hippotizers to create live content).

I recently bought a Canon G1X and shot some video during a tour in South America,unfortunately it seems Premiere Pro wont' play any of it. I have:
a) set my Sequence to DSLR editing with the same dimensions and frame rates as my video (1920x1080 29.976fps)
b) tried converting them to MPEG2, and even re-outputting them on QuickTime. The files are all .MOV H.264 natively.
c) rendered the files so they show up as "green"

For 1 brief second I managed to re-name a file as .mpg and it played, but then when I renamed all the rest and imported them they went back to not playing.

I can load them up as source and program, see individual frames, anything other than play them.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

wrong frame rate. the g1x can only do 1080p24. the camera samples i have load fine in pp5.5

No, I wrote that wrong...I do have it set to 23.976

aedipus, are yo uloading the H.264 natively off the G1X onto 5.5? What settings are you using for your project?

i downloaded canon g1x sample mov clips from here. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canong1x/9

used the standard pp5.5 digital slr 1080 24p preset. but it shouldn't matter what preset the files should load in any timeline.

if you can upload a sample of yours to a hosting site and i'll take a look.
