“Send to Adobe Media Encoder” command doesnt respected the In and Out points

[Juan Manuel349609618pas]

Description:
In previous versions of Premiere Pro (such as 2024), using a custom shortcut assigned to the “Send to Adobe Media Encoder” command respected the In and Out points set on the timeline. However, in Premiere Pro 2025, this behavior has changed.

Now, when I use that shortcut, Premiere sends the entire work area to Media Encoder — even if the work area is disabled — and completely ignores the In and Out points. This breaks a key part of my workflow, where I quickly mark In/Out and send just that range to export.

Currently, I’m forced to use the manual export dialog (Ctrl+M) to ensure the In/Out range is respected, which adds unnecessary steps.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Mark In (I) and Out (O) points on a sequence.

2. Use a custom shortcut assigned to “Send to Adobe Media Encoder.”

3. Media Encoder opens the task with the "work area range" setting instead of "In/Out source".

Expected behavior:
The export should respect the In/Out points marked in the sequence — as it did in Premiere Pro 2024.

System info:

• Premiere Pro version: 2025.4

• Media Encoder version: 2025.4

• OS: [windows 10]

Hi @Juan Manuel349609618pas,

Thanks for submitting your bug report.  I tried using my own custom shortcut, but it worked as expected.  Can you tell me what specific keys you have assigned as your custom shortcut so I can try to reproduce the issue? Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for reaching out.
