Older youtube playlist not appearing in selection dropdown

Question

Hi All, I publish content to MANY different playlists within my youtube channel and I prefer to render/publish directly from PP/AME for the convenience, which allows me to send videos directly into a target playlist within my account. However, this list only displays the 50 most recent playlists (what it appears to be at least). But I have some older playlists that I still add content to weekly. Does anyone have any tricks to force older playlists back into that list? Or purge some playlists from the list?

I produce content seasonally for customers, and once that season is over I will never need to publish into those playlists anymore, so removing them from the dropdown would be fine with me.

@RedwolfSportsMedia Unfortunately, Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder currently have a limitation that typically displays only the 50 most recent playlists when publishing directly to YouTube. There isn't a built-in function to manually force older playlists to the top of this list or to directly purge specific playlists from the dropdown within the software.

While there isn't a perfect "trick" to force older playlists into that limited dropdown, there are workarounds can help you manage your workflow more effectively. If you add any new video directly to an older playlist via the YouTube website, it might bump that playlist up in the "recently used" order and potentially make it appear in the Premiere Pro/AME list sooner. You could even upload as a unlisted video or even try to upload a dummy video and then delete it after you've published your Premiere Pro content.

Personally, as a YouTube Content Creator, making any change to an older playlist on the YouTube website (like reordering videos, adding a description, or changing privacy settings) also refresh its "recently used" status.
