Multiple Projects Open Bug?

[hunt4kelly1]

Hi there,

I was quite excited about the new feature to have multiple projects open, like FCP, as it's long overdue, however, I'm having a bunch of issues which makes me wonder if it's a bug or just a badly thought out feature.

Firstly when I open a new project it opens in a pop out box which sucks because I then have to drag it into the Project panel along with the other project. And sometimes it opens and the project timeline can be seen but the project window will be missing.

When I open a project it will randomly open up some of the enclosed bins (i.e. sequence bin) along the top of the Project window with the open projects.

If I open another work space, like Audio, I will lose a project from the project panel, and then when I go back to the Editing workspace the project is still missing from the Project Panel, even though the missing project’s timelines will be open. The only way I can get the project back is to right click on the relevant project in the timeline to Reveal Sequence in Project and it will appear back into the Project Panel. However, when the project does appear back in the Project Panel the sequence bin from that project has opened as a separate panel and attached itself as a new tab along the top.

Thoughts anyone?

Does not sound right: might want to trash preferences.

OK so this morning I opened up my first project, and then when I opened up my second project it has some how launched 7 of the same project into the Project Panel, so there is 8 project panels open (including the first project). I'll try dumping the preferences and see what happens.

Unfortunately trashing preferences has not worked. I have noticed that this version 2018 is quite buggy. I've had my media encoder crash a number of times since the update, and I don't recall ever having problems with media encoder and PP has also crashed a number of times more than I'm used to.

What is your bin preference set to.  I believe the default is Open in New Window, which might explain some of the behavior you're seeing.

My own preference is Open in Place.  It just works better.

The other thing I noticed is that the imported project opens in a tab at the end of the line, so if you don't have enough room, you might not see it.

I've changed all my bin preferences to Open in Place and the same thing happens. In fact this time I had two projects open. When I clicked on a different workspace and then back to the Editing Workspace, one of my projects had disappeared altogether, including the timeline and the other opened up two tabs in the Project panel. I really hope this is a bug and not the way it's supposed to be because it's very frustrating. I don't want to change to another workspace because I have to reset all my panels when I go back to the Editing Workspace.

No that's not the way it's supposed to be.  However, I'm unable to duplicate the issue here on Windows 10 Pro (1703).  It just works.

Today is another day of bugs. I have been in the edit workspace all morning, i move to Colour and then when I go back to the Edit workspace there is nothing there. No panels, nothing. Just a big empty border of nothingness. This amongst a heap of crashes this morning, and the inability to Save As one of my projects, is driving me bananas.

Check it out Adobe. I hope this is being worked on https://www.linkedin.com/groups/157827/157827-6338465391420985347?midToken=AQHGI7okAN3XWA&trk=eml-b2...

I'm having the same exact problem, I just opened a project and literally 20 panels opened, I have to go through and close each panel one by one. And not only, it also opens random old sequences, so I learned to be careful and check it's the latest one every time as I always risk to start working on an old edit!! Is there a solution to this issue yet??

What specific dot version of Premiere are you on? This is a thread a couple of updates back.

I'm updated to the latest update, still happening to me...
