Unable to use photos from Dropbox Paper doc in Premiere Pro

I recently switched from using G-Drive to Dropbox for creating YT content. We're using Dropbox paper to write the scripts and include photo's to be included in the videos. 

 

When I save these images and place them in the Premiere Pro timeline they are automatically black and do not display the image.

 

However, in the Premiere Project, if I double click to view, I can see it clearly. I've had to keep screenshotting the files in Premiere which works, but it takes up my time when I have lots of photos. 

 

This doesn't happen when I for example save an image from Google etc. 

 

If you have any solutions that would be fantastic.

    Hi Hannah

     

    I would save the pictures from drop box paper into my windows directory folders and then place them into Premiere Pro, which would then appear as black. I managed to find a temporary fix which is that, I right click, modify, interpret footage, click Color Space override and choose sRGB. Unfortunately have to do this every time but this is my temporary fix.

    Hey HarryBagg, thanks for posting today!

    Would you mind clarifying the process you're following a little bit?

    Like, how are you saving files from your Paper doc to Premiere Pro?

    Any screenshots you can send me, so I can get a better visual, would also be really helpful.

    Thanks.

    If you save the pictures to your Dropbox account (not Paper) and then use them, does it work?
