As a user that exports dozens of sequences daily, this new export window is a major workflow bottleneck for me. Having the export window overtake all of the A.P. footprint is annoying, as I like to be able to move the export window to another screen. But having the filename not be able to copy the file name of another previous file is a no go for me. Working for a TV station, all my file names are number based (953652.mpg) and having to manually name dozens a day makes the new export window useless for me. I just have to go straight to media encoder. is there a shortcut to send a render straight to Media Encoder that bypasses the A.P. export window??

Fergus, thanks for an actual human response.

Adobe need to remove Francis Crossman from the team and add more folks that are willing to listen to users. This is a larger issue with the poor design of the new export UI.

Please go back to the drawing board, the "new" design is not helpful for those of us creating content as voiced by many many users.

It's astonishing. I saw Adobe put out a new update for Premiere today (22.4), and I thought, "oh great! Maybe they fixed this export issue!" Nope. Back to 22.2 I go.

Fergus, do you have an update on a fix for this broken feature? Thanks

Agreed! I can't see what the last version was called.. why????

Bonjour,

Je trouve aussi que le fait de ne pas voir les précédents exports dans la fenêtre de destination est un problème. La perte de temps de production est réelle.

Il faudrait, comme avant, que nous puissions voir ce qui se trouve dans le dossier de destination pour pouvoir écraser un ancien export ou simplement voir quelle est le numéro de la version d'export précédent.

Et bien sûr, revenir à la version plus simple et intuitive qui consiste à nommer et donner une destination à un export dans la même fenêtre et durant la même opération.

Vos améliorations sont bonnes en général mais pas celle-ci.

Merci et vivement la prochaine mise à jour.
Bonne journée.

This is driving me crazy. Takes so much time to retype a filename for overwrite, or to create a new iteration (I often type in [filename] v1, v2, etc. I understand the impetus behind the new export window, but there shouldn't be updates that in any way make our jobs take longer. It's so frustrating.

PS - I'm on a mac, and this still is pertinent.

> We think it might be useful for us to automatically highlight the file name (minus the extension) so it's easier to type or paste over it. Would that be useful?

It depends on whether you are talking about the current filename textbox or the name/folder combined dialogue.

You have 2 main methods: 1) the one used for a "new project" and (the now current release) "export" and 2) the old export and now current release quick export.
1 - you get a "File Name" text box and a "Location" link. The text box has the sequence name preentered (with extension, and with a "_1" or whatever number if the plain sequence name already exists. It is not selected and does not appear to me to have focus. (In the "new project" method, "Untitled" is entered, is preselected, and has focus.) The Location link takes you to a "Select a Folder" dialogue where you can select/change/add a folder and cannot see any files that may have been exported before.

2 - you get a single "File Name & Location" link. That opens a "save as" dialogue box where you can select a folder, create a folder, etc. It also enters and highlights the sequence being exported (with the expected extension). And in that dialogue you can see and select any previous filenames with that extension.

If I want to accept the default and just click "export," either method is the same. But if I need to change the filename (or folder), I don't want a separate filename/text box. I would want the export naming to be the folder and filename combined in a single dialogue box where I can see previous exports.

And yes, I never liked the "new project" dialogue method either.

When exporting a video, you were able to click a file in the file save window and it copied the name. I now have to manually enter the name instead of clicking a previous version and adding v1, v2, etc. Help change this back please! It's making the export process a lot longer and harder!

Thank you

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.
