Hi everyone,

since updating to Adobe Premiere Pro 2025, I am experiencing a new issue that did not occur in previous versions.

Every time I save my project, Premiere Pro completely closes the project file. I am then forced to reopen the project manually to continue working. This happens consistently and only started after the update to the 2025 version.

Has anyone else encountered this behaviour, or is there a known fix or workaround for this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Version of the app
Adobe Premiere Pro 2025

Platform and OS version
Windows 11

Basic steps to reproduce the problem 
Open an existing project
Make any change in the project
Save the project

Expected result
The project remains open after saving.

Actual result
The project closes automatically after saving and must be reopened manually.

Hi @20035689 - Can you try uninstalling your plugins and panels then let us know if that helps?

@jamieclarke 

Projects are stored on our company network drive.

Installed third-party plugins or panels:

  • Envato
  • LinkrUI
  • Film Impact Dashboard


I have performed the test by holding down SHIFT while launching Premiere and selected the "Reset App preferences" checkbox. I then created a new project on my desktop.Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. The problem is still occurring.

Hi @20035689 -

 

Where are your projects stored? 

Do you have any third party plugins or panels installed?

 

As a test can you try and hold down "SHIFT" while launching Premiere and check the boxes
"Reset app preferences" (Backup Preferences first). Then create a new project on your desktop and let us know if you are still seeing the issue.
