Why did I just now sit down, with exactly one spare hour with which to do a quick edit in Premiere and open it up to a totally unrecognizable  interface??? Where are my [projects??? Why do I see sample media and no projects? So sorry I upgraded!!!

Now, please someone tell me where I can find my projects and make them show up on my home/premiere page. 

Thank you.

So I guess that's where you end up when you go to "new project." Can't say as I like it. Too messy. Too much garbage that I am not interested in seeing. Maybe I'll get used to it.

The old dialog had several options most people never even looked at let alone used. So they changed to something that at least some more users will and are using. The old options for setting cache/preview locations and such are still in the File/Premiere Project menu dialog.

 

As to the new "page" ... for most users, we won't be using it any more than we did the options of the old one. In fact, they never expected experienced users to use the new Import page for our more complex projects.

 

Type a project Name ... set a Location ... click Create.

 

The project opens, you add assets via the Project panel or MediaBrowser always.

I'm having big issues with the Export process. I want to queue up three sequences I've been working on. I name it, choose the location, choose "go to media encoder" but I have no clue where to fine the queue. I click "Export" then "Queue" and it takes me in a circle back to the original export page where I started. 

Life used to be so simple.

Yea, they changed some things. You can ignore them especially after the first time you open it.

 

Go to the File/Premiere menu, recent ... and you shoud see several recent projects listed.

 

After you close, it should open next time on the recent-projects dialog.

 

As far as the whole Import/Edit/Export "page" thing going in the upper left now ...

 

Import is for noobs and those with simple quick projects to use while starting projects. Everyone else needing to start a new project should simply go to the top left, type the project Name, give it a Location, then click the Create button.

 

That will open the app with the ability to import assets via either the Project panel or MediaBrowser, whichever you prefer.

 

Edit is for general working with the workspaces you're used to working with.

 

Export is the revamped export dialog. First, if you simply "Send to MediaEncoder" you can get the old dialog back 'over there'. Second, if you're going to use this, take the time to go through the presets manager, UNSTAR all the presets you'll never or rarely use.

 

Then make your own detailed presets including the settings down in the "more ..." section that's a pain to get to now. After doing this, its' ... usable.

 

As to your custom workspaces ... another painful bit. They aren't there, it seems.

 

But wait ... they improved things! Instead of being across the top, they're in a drop-down list accessed via the little screen icon in the upper right. So much handier ... um, NOT.

 

If you look down near the bottom of the dropdown when you click that screen icon, there's an option to display workspaces. Select that.

 

After you do so, maybe one will be shown. At its left will be a "pipe", a vertical bar. Hover over that and click/drag it as far to the left as it will go, you will now see several workspaces showing.

 

Go to the "edit workspaces" option, and move the included ones down, move your custom ones to the top.

    Thanks, Neil. I'll try and sort through this, while also deciphering your detailed instructions. So far I can't find anything. I'm loking for "Color" - - I'm looking for a vertical bar. Maybe a local bar would be handy right about now. Just when I got very comfortable with Premiere.

    To find "color" as a workspace, again ... you have to find that 'screen' icon in the upper right corner of the menu bar. Click on that to get access to the workspaces. NOT a move many of us are happy with.

     

    You don't get the vertical bar until after you select "show workspaces" or whatever the verbiage is on that dropdown menu. Yea, it's a non-intuitive pain.
