I am on version 22.1.2. In prior versions, after loading a project, a status would appear at the bottom left hand corner of the screen that showed Premiere's progress in locating all the associated media files. That process can take a while if the project is large. However, it doesn't appear anymore. This was very useful because I had indication of when the project was fully loaded and ready to edit. Now I have to guess (repeatedly) when this process is done. Trying to edit anything before this is complete is a nightmare. It would be really great if this was at least an option in preferences. I scoured it but didn't find anything.

The project management function in Premiere is important for our operations since we have a records keeping requirement. Unfortunately, it's hit or miss on whether it will work -- sometimes it does, others it acts like it's about to complete the operation then fails. We can't figure out what's causing the issue because there's no error message identifying any problem files. Another thing we've noted is that if we have four different projects in one folder on a hard drive that are all tapping into the same media (footage, photos, music, etc.), we can perform the project management function on once project sequence, but the other projects fail immediately. We've set up help desk tickets several times to try to get to the bottom of the issue, but so far no luck. Help!

I'd love there to be a way to collect all media files, fonts & luts in a way more similar to how illustrator does it.

I end up spending quite a lot of time preparing all the files manually as project manager approach only takes the video and graphics in the project.

It doesn't attached the fonts, luts and also after effects media files.

Typically i'll have to do the the project manager approach in premiere, collect files in After Effects, make a folder with all my luts (as there's no fast way to check which were used) then plug in the project in another device to find out what fonts are missing (as it shows you the missing fonts when you try and open in).

Then you send over the fonts, install them. Manually install the luts in the luts folder. Open After Effects and relink the media files.

I think the whole process is a bit too time consuming and could do with improving to help make sharing projects faster.

If you could just collect files and open the project on the other device and everything is already included and linked it would be amazing.

If anyone has a better approach, please let me know!

When opening a project with an incorrect version of Premiere we get the error message "This project was saved from a previous version of Adobe Premiere Pro and must be converted."

If I don't want to upgrade my project to the current version because of compatibility concerns, I now have to install previous versions of the software one by one and attempt to open the project file in those versions to see which works. It would save us a lot of time if the error dialogue told us which version of the program we need in order to open the project file.

A client of mine is unable to open the Premiere projects that I send him.
I have a PC Windows Desktop and he has a M1 Macbook Pro.

Every single project I send him (either in Premiere CC 2021 or Premiere CC 2022), he gets an error message saying"

"This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No preview of the sequence is preset file or codec might be associated with this type of sequence."

The only way it worked for him was if he imported my project into a new project and selected the sequences.

But this bug needs to be fixed.

I have been structuring a rolling project on Adobe Premiere 2021/v15. I recently updated my MacBook Pro to Monterey, which came almost at the same time as when the entire Adobe Suite upgraded to version 22.

My project contained linked Compositions from After Effects, as well as pre-rendered ones. The entire project was stored on an external NVMe, with some pre-renders inside the local drive.

When Premiere asked me to convert the project, I selected a new filename. The next thing that happened is that it had lost much of the files that were located in the same place. It could also not recognize cache files (mpeg) that were previously done.

As I tried to re-link a ProRes movie file (from the original location, where Premiere failed to spot), Premiere stayed on the loading/caching process and remained there with 0% CPU usage. This error was repeated several times.

Still files and audio files also were "lost," while their location was still under the pre-defined project folder.

All compositions that were linked to After Effects failed completely and could not be double-clicked to open.

Trying to re-render the timeline In-to-Out ended in an unresponsive Premiere.

Eventually, I downgraded Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder to their previous versions. I loaded up the original project and - like a miracle - everything worked again and the files were "located" again - since they were never moved.

This is an extreme incompatibility issue. Please look into it.
