Question

Finder not allowing to paste new folder name

Might be a very small issue to bring up here but one thing that keeps slowing down my workflow every time I start a new project.
When I select a Location to save my project in the "New Project" panel, and click on "New Folder" in the Finder window that opens, it does not allow me to paste a name for it.
Is this a Premiere issue or just a general Mac OS thing? And does anybody have any fix for this mildly infurating problem of mine? 
Thanks a lot! 🙂

I had issues before when creating a new folder while saving a premiere pro project

on MacOs. Better do a new folder and name it from finder, then save to that folder

during new project creation inside premiere pro.

Right, that is the way I am doing it right now. I was just hoping on finding a solution so I could speed up my workflow there.

This is not my experience.

Do you mean you can't copy and paste a folder name when creating a new folder, or that you can't create a new folder? If the former, does copy and paste work in other situations? What are you copying from?

If the later, perhaps Premiere doesn't have full disk access.

Yes, the former. For my workflow I create the same projects on multiple platforms simultaneously (e.g. frame.io, notion etc). And because notion is mostly the first in the process, I tend to copy the project name from there (Plain Text, cmd+C) and when ever pasting in that perticular window, it just does not work and I have to type it out by hand.
And from what I've tested so far, this does not happen with any other programs than Premiere. Also thank you for the input with the full disk access, but i checked, and Premiere does have it. 
Thanks for helping me with trying to figure out my minor inconvenience! 😄

Just a thought: have you tried pasting with cmd-shift -v rather than cmd-v?
