As the title says. I have a multi-monitor setup and whenever I export my second window just vanishes. I can't figure out how to get it back without relaunching the program. I can't afford to waste anymore time on this so I'm just downgrading to the last stable version for me (23.3).
@gideonmuzy Sadly that doesn't work, the only thing that fixes it is to switch to another workspace and then back. It's almost like the program forgets I have a second window at all so any changes to the workspace is like "Oh, well that doesn't exist so I didn't do anything". The only thing that works is swapping workspaces or restarting the program.
In this example, the first export at timecode 1:50 doesn't have the problem. But at the second export, at 2:20, the second screen stays away. At 3:50 and 4:30 the problem also happens.
One year and several versions later, same problem persist on CC2024.
When i send my timeline to media enconder to export, whatever premiere window i have on my second screen just disapear when the export mode window is enabled.
The only way to bring it back is pressing Alt + shift + 0 (Window>Workspace>Reset Current Workspace).
Reseting my workspace whenever i'm exporting anything IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.
Please delete that useless import and export mode windows. The whole community will thank you for that.

Not ... hardly. You'd have a lot of people howling over removing that Import page at this time. As rather a lot of users, including many high end professionals, use that import page heavily and love it, for certain things. Even though many of us don't use it at all.
On the Facebook pro editors group, I just learned that it actually is one of the more solid ways of importing additional spanned footage to a current project. Which has always been a MediaBrowser panel thing only, right? Yea ... so a lot of folks using spanned media are now very into that Import page. Because it actually can be faster and just as good to flip to the import page for heavy spanned media.
Huh. Learn something every day, right?
As to your issue: I'm one of those, btw, who's been arguing their entire UI relationship with monitors needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. It's so 1994 ... rather than based on the physical monitors, it's really seems to be coded more by relative relationship to the upper left pixel, of whichever the OS thinks is the "main" monitor. Most everything other pixel is calculated from that pixel, something like "+1080-1920" or something like that. And it all goes wonky if the 'main' Pr window, with the top menu system, isn't on that 'main' monitor. Or if the Program monitor is moved to a different screen than the main window. And other things.
As to that issue you're having, where panels can flipping disappear ... yea, agreed that's annoying. And you have all my sympathy too. As ... there are some annoying things with color processes especially using control surfaces. Which ... in general ... is a ton better in Premiere than in Resolve, as BlackMagic barely allows non-BM kit to function and you can't change their intentionally limited mappings.
That said ... there' some things that are clearly 'bug' behavior, but as they affect only a very few users, I've been told (very politely) that ... realistically ... even though it's acknowledged, fixing a couple issues high on my list is gonna be so low on any user-requested dev's list, that it might just be a long, long time before they get to a couple things. As in a ... LONG ... time.
Annoying? Oh Hades, yes. But actually, I do understand the reasoning on the prioritization of dev's time. Sadly, for me, but ... Life is what it is. And I've had to be practical about working through the annoyances.
All this to say, I live with, to me, a painful issue, but recognize most of you don't give crud about my painful issue, because ... it doesn't affect you at freaking all. Which is totally normal human behavior. Right?
Your issue affects undoubtedly more than mine does. Thankfully for you!
But ... most users hit by this have found practical ways around at least some of the annoyance. Typically by changing their custom workspaces and panel practices some.
I think "we" can find a way to at least mitigate most of the pain. As that's probably the most practical suggestion at this time.
And as thee and me can't change the devs work schedules. at least, for practical use, we users can probably help you find a less annoying way to get around this. IF we know enough about how you setup your monitors in the OS, and how you use panels in Premiere.
And again ... I totally want the devs to rebuild the entire monitor using UI ... please Dear Deity, please?
I am in 24.1 but it has happened for the past few updates.
I have 3 monitors and use 2 of them when editing. I have my main monitor with my Program, Effects, Text, Effect Controls, and timeline.
Screen 2 has my Project, Essential Graphics, and Media browser.
When I export any video using the "export" tab in the top left and come back to my timeline, my second screen panels are gone. I have to switch to another workspace then go back to the one I want in order for it to come back. Its quite annoying when trying to edit and export short form content since I export after every edit.
I have tried the typical problem solving methods like clearing cache, restarting PC, trying a new timeline, and other normal solutions. This seems to be a built in problem to the software and not a computer related issue. This has also happened throughout multiple iterations of the Beta so any updates did not help.
@engineeringfilmmaker Thank you for taking the time to report this. The problem you described is the same as on we've been hearing from some users for a while. So I'm merging your post into the existing one so that we can hopefully work together to find a common repro case that could lead to a fix for the root problem.
I don't understand each of us pays adobe monthly to receive the programs This discussion began at least in June 2023 In a couple more months it will be a year and Adobe still can't solve this? Adobe can run a script in the program that closes and opens the project after exporting or have the script run control alt 0 to reset the workspace but why continue suffering and work unprofessionally? Isn't it time to put the engineers to work on some of these basic solutions?
This is also happening to me. I'm running Windows 11 Pro on a 4090 with the latest studio drivers.
I beleive the main problem is in a Windows environment, when undocking the program monitor for it to take up the secondary monitor, it takes the secondary program monitor as a non main window. Meaning I don't even have the option to maximize the window for full screen with the maximize button. This is serperate from having it recognize it as an output monitor where it takes up the whole monitor space without being able to adjust sizing or rotatin within the program moitor.
There is also a problem that has been reported here multiple times that MXFs (regardless of codec) cannot be imported within Premiere Pro unless it is done through the Media Browser (which has not been fixed). Again Windows 11 Pro latest studio drivers and on a 4090. Something is causing issues between nvidia drivers and Premiere possibly.

Hello! I would like to share my experience of solving this problem. How do i avoid and temporarly solve this interface bug. I'am using Premiere 2024 on Win11 pro, 4070 ti Studio (the same problem was in 2023). In 2024 there like bounding box (thin semitransparent frame around panels on second monitor). I was set this panel size that this "frame" was within my second screen edges and after the disappearances was stopped. On Pr2023 almost the same, except it doesn't have that frame. Hope my post will help. Best regards. Bye
Sounds like "pixel creep" ... it's been a problem for some time.
Because if you create a panel group on a second/third/fourth screen, and one line of pixels is actually "on" another monitor's space ... which you often can's see due to the bezels ... madness ensues.
I work on four monitors, and make sure that the panel groups of my custom workspaces are built with a thin line of monitor background showing around all four edges. I wish they'd make this a more modern UI but ... ah well.
I don't think the pixel creep is the issue, as I have a pretty clear margin dividing my second window and the edge of the monitor and it's still having the same issue. Sometimes it disappears after using the export window, sometimes it doesn't. I cannot see any differences in the way I'm approaching it.
Soz i forget about may be an important thing... Before all of stuff that i described i was disabled the windows taskbar on second monitor. Leave it only on first monitor.
