Autosave Behavior to Lessen Impact on Editing

I understand that we can set the interval and quatity for autosaves, but I think something that would really help would be intelligent autosaves that take place alongside or in lieu of interval autosaves.

 

1) When rendering the timeline, if the render time is estimated to be 15 seconds or longer, take the project pre-render and save it while render takes place. The autosave would not include the renders.

 

2) Trigger an autosave if there has not been timeline activity for more than 15 seconds while Premiere is still the active application.

 

3) When Premiere detects it is not the active window, an autosave triggers. The software can already tell it's not the active window because playback on a second monitor can be disabled when not active.

 

This can be used in combination with the interval autosave in the following manner: If an autosave has taken place within 50% of the current potential intelligent autosave trigger, the intelligent autosave is postponed. When any of these actions takes place, the interval autosave timer is reset.

 

This could keep people in the flow while still accomplishing the autosave function.

I'm not referring to that as I didn't know it existed, but that's great to hear. I'm on 23.3 and completely missed this cool feature. Can't wait to try it out on the next project.

Are you refering to the Background AutoSave that was just released in the current version (23.4)?
