Productions offer a great way of sharing complex projects with co-workers and enabling teamwork with different departments, but the production workflow needs to be improved, because it’s great!:
Instead of just organizing all your different projects in the production panel we should be able to also organize content/assets that are used for the whole production (for example: titles, motion graphics, logos, footage, etc.). So you don’t have to import every single asset again and again and again. Think of working on a tv-show or sth with multiple episodes, how great would it be to have shared assets and you can just find them in a folder in the production panel or to have a window with all the assets that you need for the production (could be understood as sth. like a template folder). Often we already started editing episodes while the main-assets are still work in progress (like titles etc.) and so we have to import them into every project in the Produktion over and over again.
Hope you get the idea :-)
Thx

When opening a project with an incorrect version of Premiere we get the error message "This project was saved from a previous version of Adobe Premiere Pro and must be converted."

If I don't want to upgrade my project to the current version because of compatibility concerns, I now have to install previous versions of the software one by one and attempt to open the project file in those versions to see which works. It would save us a lot of time if the error dialogue told us which version of the program we need in order to open the project file.

A client of mine is unable to open the Premiere projects that I send him.
I have a PC Windows Desktop and he has a M1 Macbook Pro.

Every single project I send him (either in Premiere CC 2021 or Premiere CC 2022), he gets an error message saying"

"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No preview of the sequence is preset file or codec might be associated with this type of sequence."

The only way it worked for him was if he imported my project into a new project and selected the sequences.

But this bug needs to be fixed.

I have been structuring a rolling project on Adobe Premiere 2021/v15. I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Monterey, which came almost at the same time as when the entire Adobe Suite upgraded to version 22.

My project contained linked Compositions from After Effects, as well as pre-rendered ones. The entire project was stored on an external NVMe, with some pre-renders inside the local drive.

When Premiere asked me to convert the project, I selected a new filename. The next thing that happened is that it had lost much of the files that were located in the same place. It could also not recognize cache files (mpeg) that were previously done.

As I tried to re-link a ProRes movie file (from the original location, where Premiere failed to spot), Premiere stayed on the loading/caching process and remained there with 0% CPU usage. This error was repeated several times.

Still files and audio files also were "lost," while their location was still under the pre-defined project folder.

All compositions that were linked to After Effects failed completely and could not be double-clicked to open.

Trying to re-render the timeline In-to-Out ended in an unresponsive Premiere.

Eventually, I downgraded Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder to their previous versions. I loaded up the original project and - like a miracle - everything worked again and the files were "located" again - since they were never moved.

This is an extreme incompatibility issue. Please look into it.

My System:
MacBook Pro, Intel Core i9 (8-core)
32GB RAM
Radeon Pro 5500M 8GB
1TB Internal NVMe
2TB external NVMe

It would be great for certain jobs with multiple deliverables to be able to create bin structure presets so we can:

A. Save time on creating a bin structure when creating new projects

&

B. Be able to have a group of projects with the same bin structure so continuity is the same between them.

On some jobs, it's easier to just create different project files for each deliverable than to keep it all within one project- things can get hectic that way, even when organized. I always feel I'm wasting time when having to re-create each bin for all my assets for each project. I even sometimes might mis-remember the exact structure of the bins.

So being able to create a bin structure and then save that structure as a preset that I can quickly apply to new projects would be a great time saver.

Granted, I'm not expecting the assets to be imported with the preset, just the actual creation, structuring and naming of the bins in the assemble tab.

This would be awesome if added!

There is currently no documentation, nor direct support from Adobe with clear instructions in how to best migrate a production to a new location. I have talked to Adobe support through online chat and on the phone and they had no idea how to answer this question, so I'll lay out below what I've been trying to do.

We are moving a project folder containing a production and assets from one server to another, and simply copying the files over does not quite work correctly, specifically with Multicam sequences and their source sequences. When the project is copied, either via drag and drop, or carbon copy cloner to the new server, there is the obvious file re-linking that needs to happen. That is fine after some manual searching. However, the source sequences for a multicam sequence seems to randomly link to the old location and project. When command+double clicking a multicam clip to open its source, it says the project it needs to open is located outside of the production, which then it opens the old project in the old location, even when the current one is open and it should be linking there like it did when originally set up. The footage is all linked in the new folder location, however it still wants to open the old project.

It is very random as to which multicam sequences correctly link to the source inside the current production and which don't, some link and open just fine, but either way I've had to manually option+drag the current location's source onto multicam clips to re-link, which becomes a problem when our production has hundreds of multicam interviews.

Wether or not there is a better way to migrate, or have the proper settings selected for copying a production, there is no info on this listed anywhere, and having documentation and official support would be much appreciated in this way. We do have all the XMP metadata linking settings turned off as suggested in the current documentation in creating a production. It seems the migration process was simply overlooked in how people would be working with productions. This also applies when needing to backup a production to an external drive for storage. It doesn’t seem to work in exactly the same way as a normal project folder would because of the source sequence linking issue, and knowing why would be hugely helpful.

I start my projects the same way every time. I am highly organized and have a system to keep things organized. I have to rebuild the project set-up every single time. Unless I missed it, I can't find a way to start a project with my bin template already there. I click it and I simply add the files.
My set up:
Bin:
01 Sequences
02 Footage
03 Music
04 Graphics
05 Dynamic Links
06 Screen Recordings
07 Misc.

I have to build this each time. Please allow us the option to make a template for Preferred organization. 1 click, set up. TIME IS MONEY!
