increment and save for Premiere

I agree this has been a great time saver, as well as eye saver. Pushing one button means I have a new version and I don't have to be blinded by a new finder window to do it. I don't have to type anything or even think about what the next version should be. I can continue working.

It's mostly frustrating that Adobe isn't trying to create any consistency between their apps, even at a base function level. But at least we have Character animator...

I don't think Adobe should argue this point but just go ahead and implement it an let people use it if they want to. Provide features that people ask for not what you tell them to use. Not only that, the aim should be for a similar user experience across applications, and if that means having to add a feature that one application has but another doesn't, then so be it.

Roei is right about this. Increment and Save is a big time saver in AE.

Creative work is about flow, and being able to secure your work in a matter of seconds without diversion or distraction is a great workflow boon. No combination of autosave or Save As is as effective.

thanks again Fran. yes I am aware I can save as. this feature exists in Ae and it's a huge timesaver and lifesaver. and in Ae you can also "save as" but there's a command that does all that automatically so you wont have to do 3 things:
1. save as
2. change the name to _2.3.4.5 etc. (this can take a few seconds)
3. save
doing that 30 times a session that's minutes of my time. another example is C4D that also has incremental save. again, you could save as - it will just be longer. please consider this.

Hi Roei,

Incremental Saving is basically an automated Save As function. I can see it is faster, but not sure if there is a great benefit out of it.

Just by pressing Shift+Cmd+S, it will open the save as dialog, and you will be able to save an increment by hand.

Premiere also has "Save a Copy", which will save the current status in a backup copy and will let you work in the current project.

Hello Fran thanks for reaching out. as I wrote in my request - auto save is not enough. After Effects has both auto-save and incremental saving (as do some other software) for more control over saving.

Hi,

Premiere Pro creates increment projects when auto saving like After Effects. You have to go to Premiere Pro --> Preferences --> Auto Save, and modify "Maximum Project Versions".

You can even have a backup project in the Creative Cloud.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Thanks,
Fran
