Save thumbnails cache for project panel thumbnail view
The processing of thumbs at each opening of the project is really distressing. I would like to have the option to save these metadata at disk for faster start.

Hey all - I saw a comment about enabling proxies. OMG - that really helped me at least. I went to Edit/Preferences/Media and turned on Enable proxies. Wow. really helped.

100% agree with these comments. I have a killer computer I built - to the design specs as outlined by Adobe. I feel like an idiot thinking they would not support their own advice.

Came here looking for the solution to this 2018 question and it's still not resolved in the autumn of 2021. Adobe, please fix it.

Thumbnail generation in bins and in the timeline completely destroy workflow, and have for years it seems. Please fix for the love of all that is good...

It is so difficult to edit when you have to manually populate thumbnails by scrolling the bin to the grey boxes and waiting for the thumbnails to populate. Coming from AVID, I really thought I was doing something wrong. I should be able to jump from bin to bin and pick my shots without spending 10 minutes to see each bin. There has to be a fix to this. I'm so frustrated.

At least 30 minutes a day for thumbnail generation. Adobe should be ashamed of themselves.

Another comment on this subject.
YES. Adobe, why can't you cache thumbnails as part of the project? Seems silly to a non-programmer.
However, as many have mentioned, using proxies and enabling them in Preferences/Media GREATLY speeds up regeneration. It's a workaround, yes, but there seems no urgency to address this problem. So for now, it may help someone reading this post like I did.

Thumbnail views are another one of Premiere's workflow "features" that sound great in theory but in reality continues to exist half baked & crippled to the point of unreliability.
Please follow thru with making this usable, even though it has been almost 3 years after it as been flagged.

@Antoine it's painfully slow in the Project window in both icon and list view. Worst of all, previews aren't generated until clips are brought into view. So even twirling a bin open will only generate previews for the files currently visible in the Project window. 4K long gop video files further down out of view will grind things to a halt when the user scrolls down, bringing them into view, a Pr generates new thumbnails for them. These should be rendered in the background once and then saved for whenever the project is reopened.

For me in the bins when using icon view once per project open and on the timeline again usually once per project open/when switching between sequences after long periods of time.
Jams up Premiere, eats up all my ram for 15-30 seconds (64gb + some pagefile) before calming down and performing well from then on.

For now, the best solution is to assign a keyboard shortcut to make it easy to turn thumbnails off so they don't slow you down. You can assign the same shortcut to turn thumbnails on/off in both the Timeline and the Project window, depending on which one is the active window! (see illustration)
