Hi Fergus ... it doesn't do that. Apart from being an utterly terrible Export UI ... it doesn't show ANY files in the export folder. It is a massive PITA.

It's been over two weeks and still no fix for this critical issue. I've basically given up on exporting anything in Premiere and turn exclusively to ME instead. This didn't use to be the case. Any update, Fergus?

If you click the location link, you only see the folder, not the files.

Yes, there should be an optional dialogue box for naming the file, not just a textbox. Sometimes we export multiple files named similarly, and being able to see the folder with other files when doing so helps name the files easier.

Just adding my plus one to this. I'm in awe of how completely pointless and clunky this update was and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was like what the actual heck.

Hi Fergus,

Sorry for the delay in reply, I didn't see a notification.

Yes, that other issue in the link you posted is what I'm talking about, thank you for your help. Very much hoping this is fixed soon as this update has wasted so much time doing something that was never an issue before.

Thanks,

Zach

What Zach is saying is: The new save location dialogue box doesn't show existing files, so when saving a new version of an export, you can't just copy-paste the old filename. Now you have to open the file browser, navigate to the save location and copy the filename from there. This is extremely time consuming.

Here's a list of some of the other major problems with the new export interface:

1) Overwrites existing files (such as past exports) with no warning!!!

2) Can't create a new folder from the save location dialogue box!

3) When exporting from in to out points (such as exporting a single frame jpg), the export preview doesn't automatically show the first frame of the export. Instead it always shows the first frame of the sequence.

4) When it's necessary to adjust a single export setting (i.e. when creating a whole preset isn't necessary), you have to mouse-click to twirl down the settings rather than just using the scoll wheel like you could in the past.

5) When using a massive UHD display, you have to move over to look up in the top left corner to adjust settings and filename. Then move over again to find the export button in the bottom right. The whole thing is way too big.

6) The export button must be mouse-clicked. Hitting enter/return doesn't work.

Sorry for the naive question but aside that the new export window is a bit slower to use for you, is there actually a feature that is missing ?

YES!!! Please fix this. It sounds so minute but it severely slows down our workflow. OR at least give us the option to switch back to the old layout without having to install an older version. The new import and export pages are honestly not for actual working professionals. They're for hobbyists and people new to video editing. By simplifying things, Adobe is actually making it much harder for professionals who have been doing this for years. I take way longer to edit in Premiere Rush/iMovie compared to Premiere Pro. Professionals need the FULL capability of the software, we know what we're doing. Don't set limits for how we execute our workflow.

If you're gonna release a "simplified" look, AT LEAST give us the option to choose which layout we want.

In my 26 years of using Premiere, this has to be one of the dumbest decisions I have ever seen Adobe engineers make. Why would the file name field not be a hyperlink to the exact location in the folder, exactly as it is in Media Encoder, the Quick Exporter, After Effects (etc.). And put the crop tool back while you're at it.

It is extremely frustrating that in version 22.3.0 the name of a file to export or the name of a new project has to be handwritten. Before you could tap on a long name, and change the suffix or version number, or anything like that. Now I have to go to the Finder, copy the name, and paste it into the dialog box, changing the suffix, version or whatever. Terrible decision the new interface of Export. Frustrating.

This update also don't suit those who work for other people, this is, when you need approval on ur projects. After all, you have all this fancy menu with Social network tabs, where u can send the work directly to the cloud, but its pointless. I still need to render out the videos offline or send it to google drive, to send to other people, and then I'll need to return to premiere to render it again and so on. The update looks like it was made for those who work for themselves (youtubers) but not for those who will use rarely this menu. Just count the time u waste on clicking in hidden windows when u previously only needed to scroll down), the time you waste to choose the path, plus to go inside folder through explorer and bring the technical file name and type it on premiere. Its madness.

Just want to add my voice to what has been said already: the way clicking the filename enabled you to choose folder and copy the name of an existing file in one action was already perfect. If you can just keep this function exactly as it was (why two different actions for filename and output folder? Because Resolve does it? :P) then I'll make peace with the new export tab. If not I'll complain about it to my peers for decades to come, and nobody wants that ;)

edit: actually it also annoys me that you have to dig down so much just to change the bitrate, but that's for another post...

Having the same problem here. The fact you can't see any file while you're picking up the destination folder is so frustrating. When dealing with a lot of files and versions, its important to see all the names already in the folder. Can't you create an option in preferences to use the classic export window?

Exactly this.

I'll try to be clear.

Before when you clicked on the name of your file in the export tab it opened an explorer window and you could directly select your previous export file, which changed the name of your current export to match the previous one and then you only had to change the V2 for V3 at the end of the name for example.

But now the new behavior open an explorer window that is only looking for folders and no longer files. So impossible to highlight your last export. You have to manually go look for it outside premiere, ctrl+c the name, go back to premiere in export tab and then ctrl+v and then change the number at the end, it's just WAYYYY too long compared to before.

Also to add to that. Before with only one click on the file name you could change the export location and the file name at the same time, now you need to do 2 separate thing to do the same as before. Just revert back to the way it was : combine the file name and location entry so that when you click on the file name in the export tab, it directly open the explorer window and there you change the location and the file name directly. I love you Adobe but sometimes you guys are just changing things for the sake of it, how about keep what works, stop with the nonstop changes and just focus on the stability of the program?

I mean yes but i used to avoid typing the file name over and over and now i have to, even if it highlights it

Previously when you were exporting the file, you could select an already existing file to replace and the file would then be named that file as well. Now, you have to name the file before selecting the folder export. Please return that setting so that when I need to re-export multiple times to change small things, it's a lot easier

The new export interface with 22.3.0 build 121 doesn't allow me to see previous versions of exports in a folder, only pick a target folder. This is extremely irritating because I export multiple versions of many videos each day and don't want to go to each folder outside premiere to see what version I'm exporting so I can name it correctly. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!!

Previously when exporting a video, you were able to click any file in the file save window and it copied the name.
This is important when having specific file names that AREN'T the sequence name you're exporting from.

Essentially now I have to manually enter every single file name of each video I am batch exporting. When previously I clicked the last version of that file and just changed the "V1" to "V2" etc etc.

Thank you.
