Save thumbnails cache for project panel thumbnail view

I've also switched over to resolve. Too many little nagging problems and poor optimization on this thing. (My 3070 TI is still loading all the marker thumbnails in my massive timeline as we speak). Davinci Resolve caches these. If this were updated in the near future people with larger scale timelines (feature length) will be greatly appreciative. 

I'm looking into Resolve, if the tool's better it makes sense to use it, and I do like their business model over Adobe's. But as a user of After Effects, PrPro, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom and Audition it's hard (not impossible) to replace all those apps and I do enjoy using them (mostly). Getting back to the focus of this thread, a few little tweaks like this can make a big difference. If only extra attention was given to workflow issues / ideas like this, that have been raised and upvoted for years, but not addressed properly (please take note Adobe staff)!

I'll have to give Davinci another look.  What's keeping me on Pr more than anything else is Excalibur (a plugin that allows you to assign keyboard shortcuts to just about anything, including multi-step macros).  With Excalibur, I can add transitions, effects, keyframes, move/rotate/resize a selection of clips at the same time, etc, all with keyboard shortcuts.  Do you know if there's anything like that for Davinci?

Also adding my annoyance to the chain. Big project with many bins of video clips that I need to view in Icon View. Every time I open the project I have to manually go through each bin and scroll through the clips in Icon View to get all the thumbnails to load before I can do actual editing work... it wastes my time and is super annoying. Please, please just add the option to cache the Icon View thumbnails.

I have a huge travel vlog I am working on, and every time I close the project, I need to re-cache over a dozen folders with a lot of clips each, almost manually. It feels insane not to have these thumbnails cache anywhere or at least generate in the background each time I open the project. I basically need to dedicate an hour to manually opening each folder, using ` the key to expose the entire bin, and then going through the folders one by one until they're done loading. This is silly... what are we doing here? Jan 2025, latest build, dumb expensive/powerful computer.

I'm frustrated that Adobe hasn't addressed a key feature hindering editor efficiency. A persistent thumbnail cache would greatly improve performance, instead of regenerating thumbnails every time I reopen a project or adjust thumbnail size in the bin.

I've tried Autokroma's Influx importer (v1.5.1), which excels in thumbnail handling, but unfortunately, it causes memory overflow issues during editing.

As we approach 2025, with technology advancing rapidly, I urge Adobe to consider our feedback and implement a thumbnail cache similar to Influx. This would significantly enhance the editing experience.

I came here to check this and, man, it's almost 2025 and this problem hasn't been fixed yet. Good that they're improving the UI instead. 

I'd be really interested to know the reasoning as to why Adobe seem to be ignoring the idea of a thumbnail cache. It would speed up so many peoples workflows! 
I have no interest in half of the new AI tools being added. I just want a faster workflow. This would save me hours of work per project. 

Hello again,

Today Premiere beta received another update and still the previews are software generated...

I double checked by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F12, and cheching Importer.MPEG, all the frames are software generated.

I checked my settings again and didn't find anything out of place. I have an intel latest generation processor, a strong GPU, all updated to their latest drivers per manufacturer, windows 11 Pro are updated as well, GPU acceleration is enabled.

I have diabled GPU Scheduling though from windows because Premiere was buggy with it enabled.

Do I do something wrong, or is it something from your end?

I believe though that a thumbnail cache would be the best possible solution.
