Save thumbnails cache for project panel thumbnail view

Came here looking for the solution to this 2018 question and it's still not resolved in the autumn of 2021. Adobe, please fix it.

Adobe. Really? WHATS IT TAKING SO LONG? Fix this damn ting already.

Adobe, make that freakin thumbnails quicker to appear, i haven't spent thousands of money on my PC just to get frustrated by a fault of your program, please solve this as soon as possible!

Please Adobe, make this happen 🙂

Thumbnail generation in bins and in the timeline completely destroy workflow, and have for years it seems. Please fix for the love of all that is good...

It is so difficult to edit when you have to manually populate thumbnails by scrolling the bin to the grey boxes and waiting for the thumbnails to populate. Coming from AVID, I really thought I was doing something wrong. I should be able to jump from bin to bin and pick my shots without spending 10 minutes to see each bin. There has to be a fix to this. I'm so frustrated.

At least 30 minutes a day for thumbnail generation. Adobe should be ashamed of themselves.

Another comment on this subject.

YES. Adobe, why can't you cache thumbnails as part of the project? Seems silly to a non-programmer.

However, as many have mentioned, using proxies and enabling them in Preferences/Media GREATLY speeds up regeneration. It's a workaround, yes, but there seems no urgency to address this problem. So for now, it may help someone reading this post like I did.

Omg yes please! its frustrating

Thumbnail views are another one of Premiere's workflow "features" that sound great in theory but in reality continues to exist half baked & crippled to the point of unreliability.

Please follow thru with making this usable, even though it has been almost 3 years after it as been flagged.
