The processing of thumbs at each opening of the project is really distressing. I would like to have the option to save these metadata at disk for faster start.

Yeah, this is crazy how painful this is. I could see if there's a lag when you mouse over the Thumbnail/Icon, and it has to switch from still to live video, so you can access that scrubbing functionality... but just to see the default image for each clip? Why does it take so long? It's not ACTUALLY generating a new image dynamically EVERY time, is it?

Is there a way to change the configuration of Premiere to handle these folder's media display differently? Or target a different location for the thumbnails and/or cache specifically for these?

This is the worst part of Premiere and seems so absurd. Why does it not do some kind of caching of the thumbnails? Why can't I just generate them all? It redraws them constantly as you scroll around the project.

Please fix this in the timeline as well! Working with hundreds of 4k clips is a nightmare due to the thumbnails in the timelines needing to be regenerated every time I scroll.

Hello world, I'd also like it very much if I could have Icon View that creates thumbnails once, and saves them. I've got a decent computer but this flaw is a total **** in that I have to recreate thumbnails, every, single, time I open the project.

Yes, yes and yes. Please implement this feature as it would hugely increase the editing-workflow!

I hate the slow loading of thumbnails, drives me crazy. Please fix a.s.a.p.

Horrible having to wait for all the thumbnails to load. I have freeware that does a better job of saving and loading thumbnails from the last time Ive opened a folder.

Hey all - I saw a comment about enabling proxies. OMG - that really helped me at least. I went to Edit/Preferences/Media and turned on Enable proxies. Wow. really helped.

100% agree with these comments. I have a killer computer I built - to the design specs as outlined by Adobe. I feel like an idiot thinking they would not support their own advice.
