Thanks for the project file! It helped us identify a bug which we now have logged to fix, and which you are encountering.
It turns out that if you use drag-and-drop as your import method (pulling media from the file system directly into your Premiere Pro project), and your project is in Icon View at the time of import, Premiere Pro will not explicitly assign the imported media a source label color. As you work with this media in your sequence and change the local label colors, all appears to work as expected. But if you then switch your project to another view (List, Freeform), Premiere Pro recognizes that some of the label color information is missing from the source clip, and will assign it a default color when the project view is switched. This will also wipe away any local label color assignments you made to used clips in the sequence, as they will now officially receive their correct source label color information for the first time.
Until this is resolved, you can prevent the issue from happening by:
- Always importing media to your project in a view other than Icon View.
- If importing media into your project in Icon View, use an import method other than drag and drop.
There is also a workaround we discovered for your current projects to repair the source clip labels without removing your custom local sequence labels, although I will caution that it is less manageable if you have a lot of sequences in your project, and limited to the length of your undo queue. I would also suggest backing up your project first, since the steps below require you to temporarily delete the contents of sequences.
- Make sure you have no projects open, then open only the project you want to fix.
- Open each sequence in your project, select all, and delete the entire contents of each sequence.
- Switch your project view from Icon View to List View.
- Press undo for each sequence you cleared to restore the sequence contents, until all cleared sequences have been restored.
- Save the project.
The above steps allow Premiere Pro to rebuild the missing source label information without pushing this update through to the clips in the sequences. When the sequences are reconstituted with undo, the sequence clips retain their local color labels, but now reference the repaired source clip label as well. Once saved, the corrected label information is preserved regardless of which view you use, and you should no longer encounter any local label reset issues.
