Good news – we are working on making it so that Premiere Pro will do auto saves "in the background" and no longer create a new window with a progress bar, which is what was bringing it to the foreground. You can try this feature out in the latest Premiere Pro (Beta).

Background Auto Save has been released in Premiere Pro 23.4 (https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/whats-new/2023-4.html). Once you're on Premiere Pro 23.4, you shouldn't have auto save bothering you while you're in a different application anymore. @taboreditorial @the_irreverent_creative @footagehead123

Now if only After Effects could get the same "feature".

This is still happening and it's incredibly frustrating. In the year since you first mentioned this has Adobe done anything to address it or have you found a workaround?

Interesting....I'm on Windows 10, and this happens (not always) with After Effects (not Premiere). AE wilkl sometimes jump to the front when auto-saving, and ALWAYS jump to the front when a render is completed.

Yes! This is incredibly annoying when i am trying to read client notes on frame i/o or work on a graphic asset in AE or PSD...there is no need to PR to come full frame, it should be able to auto save in the background. Any solutions yet?

Try the following: In Windows, Go to Performance Options, Advanced, Adjust for best performance for: Background Services. Seems to work.
