How do you turn off Auto-Tagging Audio in Premiere v 24.0?

[Craig316519731au1]

Every time I drop a clip into a sequence, Premiere is now trying to Auto-Tag Audio, and I have to click to cancel it.

How do I stop this from occuring automatically?

I'm having the same issue and really don't want to reset all of my preferences... But it's taking so much time tagging everything that I think I might have to. Has there been any word of a patch to stop this from happening soon?

[swatiyadavsharma]

I get the pain of resetting the prefrences, but i'm sorry there is not other way of doing this right now. We are working on the fix which should come in next (.) release. 

Also, can you please answer these questions so that we know the root cuase better -

1. PrPro build number you are facing this issue with?

2. Did you anytime in last 2 months downloaded a 'Beta' build?

3. Are you experiencing this audio tagging for the 1st time or you have seen similar issue in Beta also (if used in last 2 months) ?

I hope Adobe can fix this quickly. It wastes so much of our time having to wait for each clip to auto tag.

Absolutely insane that this is a process forced on the user without an option to turn it off. It's so slow and I don't even know what it does. I'm just trying to edit a video podcast episode and it's making me want to get rid of my subscription.

in my case problems started when i donwload Premier 24.0 

I didnt use any beta before 

[Craig316519731au1]

Today I downloaded version 24.0.3 (Build 2), but the Auto-Tagging is still triggering every time I drop a file onto a sequence.  Again, no way that I can see to disable it.

Is a fix coming soon?

Come on Adobe!
If you create an auto setting you ALWAS have to give the option to the PRO user to turn it OFF!!
If you want to overload a computer, do it on yours. I have lost hours with a meaningless feature.

[Vaibhavi Jani]

Really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing. We are already working on the fixes and coming up with updates in the 24.1 beta & 24.2 release version.

@Wheelus In case you don't want to reset all the preferences but only the auto tagging ones, here are the steps:

1. Open the preferences file on your machine

MAC:

 /Users/<user>/Documents/Adobe/Premiere\ Pro/24.0/Profile-<user>/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ Prefs/

Users/<user>/Documents/Adobe/Premiere\ Pro\ \(Beta\)/24.0/Profile-<user>/Adobe\ Premiere\ Pro\ \(Beta\)\ Prefs

Windows:

~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro (Beta)/24.0/Profile-<user>

~/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/15.0/Profile-<user>

2. Change the preferences from 'true' to 'false'

<BE.Prefs.General.AutoAudioCategorizationDuringImport>true</BE.Prefs.General.AutoAudioCategorizationDuringImport>

<BE.Prefs.General.AutoAudioCategorizationDuringImport>false</BE.Prefs.General.AutoAudioCategorizationDuringImport>

Any update on when this feature can be turned off by the user? I'm working on a feature film that I'm taking over from a previous editor and every time I open a sequence this process starts automatically and because of the amount of files in the sequence it freezes up. This is costing me hours of work. Please fix it.

Hi,

Can you please confirm your build number?

If this is a Known Issue, it should be published by Adobe in online documentation with this workaround.

Unfortunately this fix IS NOT working. I have gone in and changed the specific file from true to false exactly as instructed and after a while of editing premiere is still trying to do auto tagging and each time it happens, premiere crashes. It's crashed probably 10x today since the update, and I am in the middle of editing a feature doc and really struggling with the delays this is causing.
looking forward to a solution. thanks for your help

[Craig316519731au1]

Looks like the AUTO TAGGING bug is back!  In the latest update to Premiere v24.4.1 (Build 2).

Premiere tries to Auto Tag all media in the sequence, renedering all scrubbing on drives impossible.

They fixed it for a while, but now it's back with a vengeance.

Adobe, can you PLEASE fix??

Makes using external drives impossible.

You need to turn this off in the Preferences

[Pyromk1]

Where about in preferences. Just been searching through it and cant see the setting for it.

[Pyromk1]

Never mind, updated my version and found it under audio pref

[Krisanna]

THANK YOU!!!!

This shouldn't be switched on by default for existing installs. I'm in the middle of a large project and going back over sequences and I can see the exact moment it got switched on because everything is tagged (incorrectly) by the software. I need to go into each sequence, select all, choose one of the four types, and remove the tag, then do that for the other 3 types... 4 edits for every single affected sequence. Going into preferences after I _found out_ this was happening and turning it off doesn't save me from that pain. This is completely unnecessary misery. Instead of playing with AI how about you guys finally fix all the myriad audio/video bugs related to combining nested sequences with time warps that I've been wrestling with for the 6 years I've had this product?

[Ann Bens]

I agree: needs to be off by default. Such a pain when you forget its active.

Hello Mr. Wallet,

"I'm in the middle of a large project ... This is completely unnecessary"

Thanks for sharing this experience.

Just a reminder to all users that in spite of all the insistent messaging from Adobe to "update now", it is generally not a good idea to update in the middle of a project.
