YES! I'm also SO tired of premiere not responding for a few seconds as it prepares to save, then giving me the spinning beachball of death for several seconds, THEN having the saving progress bar pop up, and only then can I get back to editing.

All of that should happen in the background without having to interrupt what I am doing.

@george ramsay. Incremental saving FTW. Also premiere autosave would still be there to take you back to 15 minutes ago.

what @Myer Pjani said! Great idea!

I have two machines that are experiencing this issue. Premiere is almost to the point that I'm going to learn a different NLE

Great! Feel free to save things like Warp stabilizer data into a separate file. :-)

Aaron- This is a great and positively long overdue idea. You're an innovator, time-saver, user experience ambassador, and Adobe should recognize that.

We've already heard this, but Adobe isn't listening in April of 2022.
For the sake of Mankind, Adobe, *please* auto-save to background, upon every keystroke. Blatantly steal this function from Final Cut already, no shame. Every time I go to edit, in the split second it takes, I end up clicking that darn "Save" box in the middle of my fr*ckin screen. I'm holding my breath please don't let me turn blue.

why can't auto save happen in the background (hidden, not actively using) and not make Premiere pop open/active. When I'm emailing or talking with client, not actively using premiere at that moment.

Still huge crashing problem during auto save, especially if you are working and not idle, in April 2022.

Autosave stole about 30 minutes from me this evening. So thanks for that devs.

Please... This is way overdue. In my current project, Premier auto-save uses so many resources that it only works if I happen to not be doing anything right at that moment. If I am doing any actual work, clicking or dragging anything it crashes.

This is happening to me on hour and a half Multicam projects, so it is understandable that it would use a lot of resources. In my case, I'd rather it be more in the way if it had to be on bigger projects to avoid crashing, like somehow 'predict' that it could possibly crash because of the size of the project; like a 'ready to save?' prompt to make you stop clicking on anything and then let it do the autosave.

Less in the way but always causing it to crash on projects this size would be worse for me. Most of what I edit are multicam projects that are over an hour long. System specs are Windows 11, i9 10850k, 32gb ram, RTX3090 so it should be capable.

But, of course, please make it more out of the way if it can also be more reliable at all possible.

This is something I really don't get at all. Auto-Save should be a discrete process. I could not imagine working in PS (which also features an auto-save background task) being interrupted repeadetly by an auto-save pop up dialog. Adobe seriously ... when was the last time you considered testing your own software? I am using Adobe Apps long before Adobe offered their first CS bundle but to this date my list of bugs is growing longer and rarely one of these is fixed.

Whenever you're editing captions, the current auto-save feature is irritating as ****!

It interrupts the editing process entirely and often also causes a jump back to home position, making you wonder where the **** you left off...

PLEASE ADOBE, fix this!

this is constantly breaking my momentum and Im afraid to crash the program every time im pressing something while the auto save pops up

When you're editing captions, the auto-save feature REALLY, REALLY is annoying as ****!

Takes you out of the flow, as you
a) have to wait for the process to complete
b) do an extra few mouse clicks to get the line you were editing active again

If other NLEs can do this, why can't Premiere Pro?

Yes please

also when Premiere pro is hidden in the background and I'm working in another app, PP decides to pop up from being hidden altering the world and me and everyone around that it must autosave the current project and you should stop everything you're doing while we complete this autosave. Very annoying.

Hi James, I would get to the bottom of why you are crashing so much as that is not normal. Auto Save is interruptive, but your Auto Saves are too frequent. Every 30 min. should be more than enough and would bother you much less. Come to the forums for troubleshooting your crashes.

I have auto-save setup for every 2 minutes because Premiere crashes so much. I've used this product since 2010. I'll be in the flow of editing and auto-save will pop up and temporarily disable everything until it goes away. It's extremely distracting and I wish it didn't disrupt me.

Hello? Adobe? Are you there?
