Copy and Paste Problem in Project Folder

I have observed the following problem in Premiere. I wanted to copy a timeline with specific settings, markers and clips into several folders. The second time I paste it, the timeline disappears from the first folder. So instead of creating a second copy, Premiere would simply move the first one. To get round this, I have to execute the Copy command each time. So I have to execute ‘Copy-Paste, Copy-Paste etc.’ each time to paste the same timeline into multiple folders. The problem also occurs when the timeline is in a folder that I want to copy. I am currently using version 24.6.0 (Build86) on Windows 11.

I have looked into this in more detail. For me, this error only occurs with projects that are part of a production. When I create a simple editing project, I have no problem with Copy and Past. As I now work almost exclusively with productions, I didn't notice this at first.

Bizarre, still doesn't reproduce here. 

Confirming: That happens in any project, not just one project, right?

Will research further.

I copy the timeline, paste it into another folder and repeat the pasting process in another folder. As you can see, another copy is created, but at the same time the previous copy is deleted and replaced by a new one. This happens every time I try to paste again.

I can't reproduce that behavior in 24.6; 


  1. Create sequence 
  2. Copy sequence using Ctrl/Cmd-C
  3. Paste sequence.
  4. Paste sequence again.


Result: Two additional copies of the sequence. 

Is there something missing from those steps?
