Question

Autosave won't remain in the background

Every time Premiere autosaves, it pushes the app workspace in the foreground, overtaking whatever I'm watching or keystroking. Is this a bug or a feature? I'm interrupted every 15 minutes by this routine, which is compelling evidence for disabling the autosave.

Hey footagehead,

I got your message. I don't like it either. Check out the Beta version. The feature should be included there now. Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin,

If you say it's in the next release, I'll wait. I'm on a big project right now, too risky to switch to a Beta.

Thanks!

I, too, have been suffering from this annoying issue for quite some time. After reading a bunch of posts on this issue, I decided to try minimizing the PP windows rather than the "hiding" them. Surprisingly, when PP autosaves while minimized, it has not popped into the foreground for me. While this is still a bug that needs to be addressed, maybe this can ease some annoyance on my fellow Mac users.

For reference, I'm running a 2020 5K iMac, Big Sur 11.6.6, PP 22.2.0

Tried this - it hasn't popped up yet. That's great, but if you're on a multiple screen system with PPro across all screens, I have to go to each screen to minimize. Hide puts all screens away with a single keystroke. Definitely prefer Hide over Minimize. Oh well....

Has anyone found a solve for this? Running Premire 22.1.2 on desktop Mac with Monterey installed. This is driving my nuts!

Still happening in PPro v22.2, even if I manually save the project and navigate away. Glad that Kevin is seeing it as well. Hopefully they fix it coz man it's aggravating.

Hi Folks,

I can verify this occurring on my Intel MacBook Pro. Agree that it can be annoying.

Thanks,

Um, so fix it? Still happening in latest 22.6.2.

In previous versions, if you had hidden Premiere, it would auto save in the background and not unhide itself. Something has changed. It's killing me.

Hi defaults3keewiwhbe1,

Welcome to the community.

What's the exact version of Premiere Pro you're using? Also, what are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS)?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

just remember that unless you're manually saving at a regular interval, you're playing with fire. I have my autosave set to 5 minutes and frankly, never have a problem with it. Premiere crashes very rarely for me, maybe once a month, but it has saved my bacon a number of times.

Auto save is not that reliable. If you project goes corrupt without you knowing, so will your auto save and end up with nothing if you don't make a separate backup.

gotta say I can't remember having a corrputed autosave. Not saying it can't happen, just haven't seen it except in a few threads here. I keep all my project files in a folder mirrored on dropbox which has worked without issues for at least a few years (and makes things much easier as I work from a few different locations, using sneakernet for my media drive). Dropbox does maintain a number of versions although I've never checked how many versions are backed up...(just checked and with my approx $10 a month plan versions are maintained for one month). So this seems to be a pretty foolproof plan. Not to say I don't do a save as everyonceinawhile. Obviously if I have a crash and Premiere restores the file and If I want to preserve the project at a certain point in time.

If anyone sees any flaws with my workflow, please let me know...

Autosave does not run in the background. So yes you will have to stop every 15 minutes.

Ann, in previous versions if you had navigated into a different app or hidden Premiere, it would autosave without popping into the foreground of the OS.

Exactly my frustration, this didn't happen in the previous version of Premiere I had installed.
