I’m having this issue as well. June 2026.

No amount of preference resetting, workspace trashing and resetting, or Adobe Suite reinstalling etc seems to fix the issue.

It’s quite frustrating given I currently have to restart Premiere several times a day due to other weird bugs that need resolving.

I’m on the latest version of Premiere and see this behavior as well. I don’t think this is a bug, I’m thinking this is a design choice. I think this will need to be a feature request for our design team to consider.

I searched this forum for a similar feature request but the closest thing I found was being able to “batch twirl” multiple selected folders.

Could you make a feature request on this forum so we can upvote it?

If it’s any help: I’m using Premiere Pro version 25.6.4 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.4 (Mac Studio M1 Max chip). This issue has only been present starting in Premiere 25, but it’s not occurring in all of my projects. If I create a new project and create a few bins and save, the bins will be closed again when I re-open the project. I have one project which has been converted through a couple different versions of Premiere and has the same issue of bins closing, but a few similar projects which also have been converted multiple times do not have the issue.

I have tested multiple workspaces to no avail, though I did notice that turning off “Import Workspaces from Projects” caused a project which previously would have open bins to no longer have those bins open when the project was opened. Maybe this is intentional?

I have tried converting and opening the same projects (including a new project) in PP 26.0.1 with reset preferences and now none of these projects keep the bins open when re-opening the project.

Hope this helps.

After the update to 25.5 I also began having the issue for the first time, where each time a project is opened, all the bins are collapsed. I am now on 25.6.4 and am still having this issue with new and old projects. Everything is set where I need, and when I open up the projects at a later time, all the bins are collapsed. This happens on both of my machines with different hardware. I have tried resetting premiere pro to no avail… other than the frustration of having to re-do all my settings.

I see this problem has cropped up for others even before I had the issue.

Have there been any new developments as to a remedy?

Thanks!

Oh my gosh, this is frustrating. Every time I re-open a project (this one in particular that has loads of bins and sub-bins) I must go a digging and digging to re-open up all the bins to get to the resources. As mentioned, I have tried resetting the app and I have also tried saving new workspaces. I can’t seem to get anything to work. Please let me know if anyone has figured a solution. Thanks :)

Hello, just an update here. I have updated to Premiere Pro 25.1.0 (Build 73) and the exact same problem persists. Any movement or revelations on the Adobe side?

Been having this same issue for a couple years. I keep checking around for a solution but so far haven't found it. Super annoying.

Thanks Rob. I have just tried it and it made no difference. Project still opens with bins collapsed after saving with them opened up. I then opened a few bins and changed my Workspace and all the bins collapsed.
