How Do I Set "Save As" To Open and Save to the Same Folder Every Time?

When using Save As or Open Project in Premiere, the folder that opens is whichever folder I last exported a video to. However, up until a few weeks or months ago, using Save As or Open Project would always open to the Adobe Premiere projects folder (User/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro).

Is there a way to set this folder as the default Save As/Open Project location? Currently, any time I want to Save As/Open Project I have to manually navigate back to that User/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro folder, and it’s quite a nuisance.

This seems to be a known issue that will hopefully get addressed in an update. You could try the free Compass utility that might help.

I’m also finding this problem since the last update. I hope they revert back this behaviour because is very inconvenient to have to be changing the selected folder every time. Also dangerous. It happend to me that right after the update I didnt notice this change and I saved new projects in the wrong folder and deleted some important projects, because I usually export video tests in temporary folders and all mixed up. It doesnt make sense.
