Give us option to choose whether we'd like to use the new export window or old
The new export window is really terrible.
look, I don't mind changing things a bit here and there, but for love of Mary and all holy please at least preserve the general layout logic that had been used before.
Also definitely not a big fan of the tabs being vertical rather than horizontal
I'm using premiere for 10+ years and developed solid muscle memory of what settings are where and I do not have the time to hunt for export setting and presets - especially if their new locations are completely different and follow whole new UX/UI logic

The Send to Media Encoder option allows for the previous UI. Can you try that?

When I have to Google how to use part of a program I've been using for 10+ years, because they changed it for no reason, then you know it was a terrible idea.

Couldn't agree more, the new UI is objectively bad and a BIG step back from the previous design, since it requires more clicks and time to do the same things as before without adding a single benefit.

WORST "improvement" ever! Clearly the developers are not actual editors. Renames filders for no reason. Groups video that i took time to seperate in the Hard Drives. No options to NOT do these stupid time wasting things.

Here here!! An option to revert back to the legacy interface is essential. I swear Adobe does asinine things like this just to see how engaged the user base is.

I agree wholeheartedly with this entry. This new addition is making the experience of using Premiere Pro worse, not better.

Please please please please allow us to choose between the perfectly working classic export interface that is efficient and easy to use, versus the new non-functional one that is giving me both a headache and a panic attack. A particular pain point is not being able to use previous file names in the naming convention and not being able to create folders from the export dialogue! Why the loss of features?!? Please help, as a heavy pro user of premiere these feature losses are huge problems!

Adobe needs to rerelease Premiere Elements with all these noob features and leave the regular professional features for their "Pro" software

Adobe I understand wha you're doing. Trying to make it easier for newbies, but you've taken away the functionality experienced users need .. we don't want this automatic nonsense. Make an "easy" version if want, but leave the pro controls and stop dummying down the UI. I can' even create my own export template with publishing. I very much dislike the automatic file naming and creation of multiple files on export.
Most of us use this tool to make a living. Completely changing UI cost us time and money! -

I get the new changes for some users, but I would love the option of using the previous CC UX for those of us whose muscle memory runs deep.

Start referring to the update as "Ugly Sonic." Maybe that will clue in Adobe to what they could gain by listening to their customers. The movie producers listened and salvaged a franchise.

The new export window is not only worse than the old one but just terrible.
It's huge, slow, ugly and just bad.
Why the **** can't I change the file name in the file explorere window? That's critical if you export a lot of videos with videos that share most of their name.
Why is every category under each other? That just makes it bulky and hard to find the thing you are searching for.Evrything is just worse and there is not one single improvement. It looks and feels like an export window frome Premiere Rush or iMovie, not at all professional.

The Premiere Pro 2022 import and export interfaces are horrible. They are not intuitive, easier, or quick to use. You spend more time trying to find media. There should be an option to use the older import and export interfaces, the way the Legacy Save As option exists in Photoshop.

First issue with new (or it was in previous version as well) export windows is that the project export location is as we selected for any old projects.
Can it automatically select the new project location itself?
New export window is annoying as I am too use to old window UI and which use to provide really easy to access advance settings and finding presets.
New export windows at first is very convenient for people with less knowledge about the software and are looking for easy way out.
I am not, I was very happy with the old Export Window and UI.
It would be great option to have an option to use old and new export UI.
