Audio Track Mixer 'Copy Track Effects' CORRUPTS your saves

[max_8243]

I just want to warn everyone about something I just experienced (and was able to recreate immediately).

When using the 'Copy Track Effects' feature in the Audio Track Mixer and pasting the effect onto another sequence, any save made after that will become corrupt and unusable.

For context, I had multiple sequences open because I was making the same change to all of them (adding a DeEsser). I copied the DeEsser from one sequence and pasted it onto the rest of my sequences. After doing that, I noticed my timeline disappeared, along with all my audio tracks in the mixer. I saved and quit, thinking it would fix the broken windows, but when I tried to open my project again, it crashed on launch.

Two of my autosaves were also corrupted, and I had to go back to an even older autosave and redo my work. Out of curiosity, I tested it again to see if I could recreate the glitch - and sure enough, it happened immediately after just one copy-paste.

I haven't tested whether it's specifically the DeEsser effect causing the issue or if it's a general bug with copying and pasting effects, but I don't have time to investigate further. I just wanted to quickly post this here in case it helps someone avoid the same problem - or, maybe, so that Adobe, the monolithic, greedy company that it is, might actually do something and fix a basic feature of their so-called 'professional' software.

Hi @max_8243 

and welcome to the Premiere Pro Forum community.  Thank you for taking your time to file a bug report. We would like to help figure this out with you. The team just needs a little more information to begin troubleshooting. If you could just jump to the link here  How do I write a bug report and follow the steps to providing more information about your bug it would be a great help to us in knowing what to look out for with your issue. And just to start getting more info from you here is a quick question. For the audio effects used, the DeEsser that was copied is that a third party plugin or were any third party plugins used in your instance? Or is this just the DeEsser effect found in the Premiere Pro Audio effects/Amplitude and Compression/DeEsser?
Thank you

Ian
