Media Encoder inherits the wrong Sequence names for the Output Filename

Hi, I'm running Premiere and Media Encoder Version 24.3.0 on Windows 11.

 

I'm having a strange issue where if a Sequence in Premiere has been renamed at any point (for example 'Amazing_Edit_V001' to 'Amazing_Edit_V002', whenever I go to export that sequence using Media Encoder, it sets the default Output Filename to the previous sequence name,  'Amazing_Edit_V001'. Regardless of whether or not I shut down all the programs or even restart my computer after renaming the sequence. It was always inherit the original sequence name. This will also happen if then rename the sequence again to 'Amazing_Edit_V003', it will still maintain the original 'V001' filename when sent to Media Encoder.

 

I should specify that this only applies to the 'Output File' filename. It correctly recognises the the sequence name as the source name on the left.

Any luck with this Adobe? - I've been having this same problem... off and on - not every file just the same few.

Uncheck this setting: see how that goes.
