Syncing to the cloud is NOT an option for my company as it's locked down due to security requirements. We also have to archive the Rush project for future use by other team members. We absolutely need to be able to save the project file locally or on a network if needed. A great little program that we'll never be able to use. I use Premiere Pro, but Rush was the answer for the rest of my non video editor team...or not the answer if you can't save the project files as a stand alone file. Please fix this.

I need a "Save As" option to transfer my project to my email to maintain its form. Then I can edit and view what that looks like. Thanks DW

This suggestion was made in 2018. 2021 is already coming to an end but there is still no "Save" function. Auto-sync sounds good on theory but in reality so many things can go wrong -- bad internet connection, user having to working offline, app issues... I just lost my project because Rush didn't sync properly and now my project refuses to load. Adobe, please respect your user's time, or they will spend their time AND money elsewhere.

Absolutely. Adding a "'Save" or "Save As" button would offer assurance to the user that they can't ***** up, that a working file would exist on a hard drive somewhere even if the Cloud is not available. This is a basic feature in Adobe Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop...this makes no sense. And if would give me a sense of calm seeing as how I've noticed that tracks for sound do sometimes move on you when I've reopened files stored on the cloud alone.

Add a "save" or "save as", it´s impossible to recreate projects with the auto save function. I like the program but the missing save function makes me look at other products

2nd time got my project corrupted and could not be edited. This was the last drip and I will not use Rush anymore. Sadly, Adobe forced me this way (because of silly details that have nothing to do with Pro vs. Rush functions difference) to pay more for Premiere Pro, but at least that works. I don't get why there is no option of versioning, backup saves or at least the possibility to find the save file somewhere in the cloud. The autosave feature does not work all the time with bigger projects. I was really mad on Saturday after losing 5 hours of editing project. Ah, I am getting mad even now when the project is already out on YouTube :D Good luck to all of you!

All agreed. It's quite silly. Like let's assume for a moment -- ok, for one crazy, crazy moment -- that you're working for, for lack of a better word, The Man. And (ok, it's crazy and hilarious, I know!) you're expected to hold onto "a file"! Like, save it, for posterity... Uhh, how does one do that? There's no Save As, Save, Save to, etc. etc. Instead, it seems Adobe wants you to casually mention, "Sorry, The Man! It's not my fault, it's radical cloud stuff brah!" You see where I'm going here? So how about adding "Save Project File," so that they won't reply to me with: "No file? Oooh sorry, Not The Man, well I hope The Cloud has a job for you, because we don't."

This should have been added in beta.

And the fact that auto save doesn't work most of the time, makes this request even more relevant.

Idk if this helps but you can duplicate sequences in the assets of a project. So if you have a sequence you like but want to try something alternate without ruining it, just open project assets, find sequence 01 and hit the ... to find the duplicate option

Super agree! I ended up deleting a several days project on cloud but I am 100% sure I clicked delete from this device. Luckily on my main computer I quickly plugged out the ethernet cable and and duplicated the project. For safety reasons and backups save of the project file is crucial.

Agree this needs to be added. My specific need is to save the project and let another person take up the work with the same project file in Premiere Pro. My collegue and I don't share any cloud accounts, so I would like to just send her the project file.

PLEASE add this - I don't understand why this is not already a feature! It saves time!

And pls macke it free because I am a YouTuber and I wanna macke everything free and pls make a place to support this company buy donating money

I'm so sick of "the cloud" being the solution to everything! God forbid you lose your internet connection. Why on earth can I not save my working file locally? I'm making a short video for a grad application, nothing that fancy so I didn't want to bother working in premiere. I'm like 80% through and am panicking since discovering I can't save the file. It's running really slow and I'm terrified of it crashing, especially once I decide to export the video. This stress is so ridiculously unnecessary. I'm never using Premiere Rush again, I'd be better of editing in imovie on my phone.

Add a local save as function for the project file. It's essential and it's frankly shocking it doesn't have this basic functionality for such expensive software.

The option to "Duplicate Projects" doesn't really help. Yes, the media files are stored locally (hard to find though) but there is no project file.

I'm quite sure what everyone is requesting, is a way to store the whole project (assets, a file with the edit and setting) locally. For me, that is my backup.

Premiere Rush version 1.5.18 has introduced the "Duplicate Projects" feature which allows you to create a local copy of the Project. This makes it easy to create different versions of the same project for different publish use cases.

Apparently your projects get saved in your cloud account automatically but for the life of me I cannot see where...

Morgan, thank you so much for that! I had no idea and sure most other people didn't, either. This is great to know! (Why couldn't the creators just have said 'Save As'?) Thanks again.
