    What do you have problem with, re-generated audio peaks or relinking media? I don´t understand the language on the screen dump so i cannot see what it says.

    If Premiere re-generates audio peaks every time you open the project there can be a solution, if it is relinking media that´s the way Premiere works and there is not much one can do since it happen every time one open a projects. Just let Premiere do it´s thing.

    Premiere makes automatically relinking media and in 26.02 version it takes forever to do this operation.

    it might be the same process in previous versions, but it was light speed so I even haven’t noticed it, just couple secs and I’m ready to go. In this update it takes a lifetime (((

    Hi Kirill5D22,

    Welcome to the community! To disable automatic waveform generation in Premiere, go to Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows) or Premiere > Settings > Audio (macOS) & uncheck the option labelled Generate waveforms automatically during import. Let us know if it helps.

    Thanks,
