Export tab to compile, fails to warn of existing/matching filename

[Dad From Minnie]

Premiere Pro 24.1.0 (build 85)

Windows 10 Pro (version 22H2)

Steps to reproduce:

1) Select Export tab to compile executable from current edit/project/sequence.

If file was previously created and still exists in the default location, it will overwrite that file without warning.

Previous versions of PP would add a "_n" suffix to the filename to differentiate/increment so no overwrite would occur.

I look forward to your suggestions.

>If file was previously created and still exists in the default location, it will overwrite that file without warning.

In my testing, mac & win, I can't get PPro to NOT complain about overwriting the existing file. Are you certain you're rendering to the same output directory?

[Bruce Bullis]

Looking for steps that reproduce the behavior.

[Ann Bens]

The file already has been exported.

On second export No warning for overwriting or adding a suffix.

[Bruce Bullis]

We believe you both, and we cannot reproduce that behavior. Can you provide step-by-step instructions, which reliably reproduce the behavior? 

[Ann Bens]

Funny thing is the beta it is working correctly.

[Ann Bens]

Its just a matter of hitting the export tab over and over with same settings

File will be overwritten everytime.

>File will be overwritten everytime.

Not so!

There must be something else to it.

My steps. to remove variables, I will start from scratch:
-Left click Start Menu
-Left click PP
-Left click blue "New Project" button to create a new project
Named Project "OverwriteV1", the rest defaults.
-Left click blue "Create" button
-In the Edit tab, in Project OverwriteV1, Rightclick and select New Item/Sequence.../Sequence 01.
-Left click the Text Tool and write "HELP" in the "Program: Sequence 01" Panel. In the timeline I now have a text entry in the Video 1 layer; it is one second long (29 frames)
-Left click "File" menu, and left click "Save" menu option

-Left click the Export tab
Filename defaults to "Sequence 01.mp4". I leave everything else default.
-Left click the blue "Export" button.
PP puts focus back on Edit tab.

PP indicates my export was succesful. I check with File Manager and the new mp4 is there.

-Doubleclick it in File Manager and it runs successfully. It shows "Help"

-In PP I update "HELP" text with an exclaimation point ("HELP!").
-Left click "File" menu, and left click "Save" menu option

-Left click the Export tab
Filename defaults to "Sequence 01.mp4". I leave everything else default.
-Left click the blue "Export" button.
PP puts focus back on Edit tab.

PP indicates my export was succesful. I check with File Manager the mp4 is still there.

-Doubleclick it in File Manager and it runs successfully. It now shows "HELP!"

It shows no warning of duplicate file name. It overwrote with no warning. It obviously did not increment the filename with the expected suffix to differentiate it.

Good steps, thanks! I can now reproduce the behavior in 24.1; like Ann, I see the beta behaving correctly.

Looking for differences between my testing, and these that do reproduce the issue, I notice that I was using actual media in the sequence, not the Text tool.

Ann, when you repro the behavior, are you also using the Text tool, and/or some other sort of synthetic media?

[Bruce Bullis]

By all accounts, this issue no longer occurs in beta builds. 

[Dad From Minnie]

Glad you can reproduce. This issue, for me, doesn't appear to be tied to text tool. It happens in any kind of sequence, using my sequence to process.

when is the beta going to become final and released?

Each feature is independent, and while we can't commit to ship dates for any given feature, it's hard to imagine that we wouldn't want to ship the fix for this issue, in the next official release...

"Before NAB" seems like a very safe bet. 

[Ann Bens]

No texttool used.
