Question

Label colors not preserved in Team Projects?

Hi all,

It appears when I add labels (colors) to different clips on the timeline, Team Projects does not preserve them after I close out of the project. In other words, I'll go ahead and spent hours highlighting clips I find to be of use in my sequence, and then upon closing out of Premiere and re-opening the project, all of my labels/colors are gone.

Clip labels themselves do not appear to trigger the "share" option because they're personal properties, according to another thread I read here. But Premiere doesn't even preserve them for my own personal use when I reopen my projects.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround? Currently on CC 2018 12.1.1.

Just an insight: I just updated Premiere and AE to version 23.0.0 and the Label sharing problem persists. Labels/colors assigned to clips by one user/machine are invisible to other users/machines in both Team Projects and Premiere Productions.

 

It's almost as if Label metadata is stored at the user level and not the project level, so this architecture would need to change in order for different users to be able to "collaborate" Labels with other users in a Team Project or Premiere Production.

I am using After Effects 23.6.0 right now and label problem still exists. 
This is definetely a dealbreaker. 
It would be important if this would be fixed.

Hi, I am currently having this issue in Premier Pro. I will spend hours going through clips and labeling them with different colors only for it to no preserve my edits when I reopen the project later.

I'm having the same issue, more than three years later but in After Effects. No idea if in Premiere is fixed but in AE it isn't.

Are you working in a Team Projects situation?

In fact, it looks like the version of Premiere that contains the Team Projects label color fix has gone live. Are you still seeing label color issues in Premiere Pro 13.0.2, with labels applied using that version? If so, please let us know. The issue I was referring to is known to occur in Premiere Pro 13.0.1 and earlier. Version 13.0.2 was released a few days ago.

Still having issues with team projects not saving my labels on the media in my sequences. After I close the project, then re open it, the labels are changed back to the defaults. Time WASTED

I’m sorry you’re still having an issue with label colors not sticking.

I would like to reproduce the problem in-house. Please DM with any information that would help to re-create the issue on my machine.

- What Version/platform are you using

- Can you provide a sample project/files or video capture of the issue

A fix for loss of label colors in Team Projects will be in the next Premiere Pro bug fix release, coming soon. I'm very sorry for all the frustration the issue has caused. A less frequent issue with missing color labels in standalone Premiere projects was also mentioned in this thread. I can't say for sure whether that has been fixed, since we have not yet been able to reproduce it in house.

This is happening to my labels too, but mine isn't a team project. I spent quite some time colour-coding certain clips for different purposes within my edit, and randomly certain clips started reverting back to their original colour in my edits. At first I thought I had made a mistake, but it's been happening even more frequently now. I didn't realise there was a bug, otherwise I would have tried a different approach in the interim, but I suppose I'm just grateful it is a known issue. PeterELee​​ could you also make sure that they fix this bug in general, and not just for team projects? I rely on the labels and I'm looking forward to this particular glitch being resolved.

I'm sorry to say that the Team Projects label color fix will probably not fix the issue you're seeing in standalone Premiere projects. I will make sure that the Premiere team hears about your issue, though, and that a bug report is filed if there isn't one already. Please PM me if you're willing to send us a sample prproj that you've seen this issue in.

Thanks for getting back to me Peter. Oh dear, a new bug. Sorry for commenting here on this thread then - I had to search for quite a while to find others who had a similar issue. I'd really appreciate you bringing it to their attention too! I'd also be happy to send through a project file. Would Adobe still get all the info they need from it even though the footage isn't attached?

I am having the same issue as of September 27, 2018 with version 12.1.2. Had the same problem with at least the last iteration of Premiere Pro.  I create custom label colors and defaults, and apply these defaults to clips within any of my team project sequences.  When I re-open Premiere, all the clips in said timelines reset to the first label color, effectively losing all my labeling work.  At least my label defaults within preferences is still preserved... but there's no point in me using these custom labels since Premiere just resets them every time.

We have verified this issue and we're tracking it. I don't have a good idea when a fix will be available, unfortunately.

Any update on this? This is a dealbreaker on team projects for my staff.  This problem has existed for way too long.
