Media Encoder inherits the wrong Sequence names for the Output Filename

Hi, I notice that this has still not been included in the list of known issues with Premiere Pro, nor has it been addressed with recent updates. When can we expect a fix? Thanks.

Any update on this bug?

It's been a little over a year since I originally posted this. I've changed several components in my PC and even done a full system reset, and this is still a persistently re-occuring issue. Now though, with the addition that when I send a single sequence to Media Encoder, Media Encoder imports it twice, it also completely ignores the sequence out point of the sequence I'm exporting and instead just sets it's own out point at whereever it was when the sequence was initially created through duplication. 

• Issue – When I duplicate a sequence within Premiere Pro, rename it, to continue working on it as a different/newer version of the edit, and then export that sequence via Media Encoder, Media Encoder correctly recognizes the current name of the sequence as the source name, but keeps the name of the sequence that it was duplicated from as the default output filename. Furthermore, it also ignores the any change in the sequence out point from when it was duplicated, and keeps the outpoint at where it was for the old sequence, at the time of duplication. This doesn't always happen, but if I'm working on the same project for more than a few days it will start to happen at some point.
• Steps to reproduce – 
  • 1. A sequence has been worked on, exported and sent to client and they've come back with notes. I duplicate the sequence, to keep a copy of what the client has seen, and append the filename of the new duplicate sequence (e.g. from _wip_01 to _wip_02), and work on the client notes on the newly created duplicate sequence.
  • 2 When I'm finished with the client notes, I send the sequence to Media Encoder so that I can export it and send it to the client.
• Expected result – When the sequence appears in Media Encoder, it should automatically be suggesting the output filename to be the same as the current sequence name, and it should recognize the curren and IN/OUT points on the sequence.
• Actual result – The suggested output filename and IN/OUT points are those of the previous sequence from before I duplicated it. Once this starts happening, it never stops. It doesn't matter how many times I duplicated the sequence. I've gone up to wip_23 before and it's still inhereting the output filename and IN/OUT points from wip_01
• Screen recording – 
• Adobe Premiere Pro version – Version 25.2.4 (Build 4) But this issue has been persistent since early CC2024
• Operating system – Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.4351. But this issue started when I was running 22H2. Also when I updated to 23H2. I have completely reformatted my system, and the current OS was a clean install of 24H2.
• GPU driver version (Windows only) – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Ti - Studio Driver 576.02. Again, have tried multiple versions of Studio and Game Drivers. No change.
• Video format – I predominantly work with ProRes and H264 footage. But regardless of the source or export formats the problem is the same.
• Comparative information 
  • It affects all projects, but not from the very beginning. It usually begins after the project has been going for a few days. I've not been able to determine an exact trigger point.
  • It doesn't happen if I export multiple sequences at once to Media Encoder
  • It doesn't happen if I export directly from Premiere (But the Export page completely kills my two screen layout, disappearing whatever is on the screen that doesn't contain the Export window, meaning I have to completely quit and reopen Premiere every time I export this way. Because, the Export page is a practical joke that Adobe loves to inflict on us all.)

Hi @sagedrummer - Thank you for the project I am able to reproduce your issue and have filed a bug, we will keep you updated on the status.

Hi @sagedrummer - Can you reliably reproduce this issue with your project?  If so, can you send the project to jamiec@adobe.com thank you.

• Issue - When renaming a duplicate sequenxe, Media Encoder names the file, the original name, although it has the correct naming of the sequence on the left side
• Steps to reproduce - Duplicate a sequence, change the name of the sequence and send to Media Encoder
• Expected result - The file output name is the same as the current sequence name
• Actual result -The file name is changed in Media Encoder ouput at the Sequences original name before it was duplicated and renamed.
• Adobe Premiere Pro version - 25.2.1
• Operating system - 13.5.2
•  
• Comparative information helps us understand more about when the issue occurs: 
  • Does it affect all projects or only some projects? - I have only tried it in this current project
  • Does it affect new projects? Haven't checked
  • When did the problem begin?  Last week

Hi @sagedrummer - Please see the pinned posts for more information.

I am having the same issue and its incredibly frustrating.  I need to duplicate sequences as they are setup as templates.  However when I change the sequence name, it exports it in Media Encoder to the original seuqnce name.  This is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed. 

Hi @leftrightbrain - Can you let us know which version of Premiere Pro you are using?  You say this happens sometimes but not all the time.  We haven't been able to reproduce this issue on our end.  If you are able to provide specific steps to reproduce it that would be extremely helpful.  Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for your patience

Issue: The Sequence is named 'Spring Movie' but when exporting to Media Encoder the Output file name is 'Winter Movie'

Steps: Im thinking it has something to do with maybe because I started with the 'Winter Movie' created a Duplicate, and then Renamed 'Spring Movie' ...maybe?  Thats what I did here... does this happen everytime? No, and I do quite frequently Duplicate/Rename Sequences.
