Premiere Pro 2025 Build 61 - Not Saving Voice Over

[Scalti]

Problem: After pressing the record button, peforming voice over, and ending recording, the clip is not saved nor inserted into the timeline.

Context: Re-installed Windows 10 and all Adobe software. Opened up an existing project built and edited in Premiere 2024 but cannot save any VO to the project folder/timeline. Traditional solutions have failed. I have attempted to:

1. Delete preferences / cache
2. Re-install Premiere 2025 and installed two most recent 2024 versions
3. Confirmed app has mic control and correct microphone is selected
4. When allowing voice to playback during recording, I hear my own voice while recording
5. Attempting making a new project and importing content from old project into the new one
6. Fully re-installed all Adobe software
7. Launched each version as administrator
8. Closed all other apps using the microphone
9. Tried opening/using other project files
10. Tried doing VO in a new project using tutorial footage

Update:

All records are being saved into the project folder but NOT inserted into the actual project timeline and I'm occasionally having a clip get saved into the timline.

SOLVED

Context: In this instance, prior to re-installing Windows, my special "Videos" folder with the unique icon (image below) was assigned to a folder on a separate storage drive (F:\) than my Windows boot/main drive (C:\). This "Videos" folder is unique and when Windows was re-installed it defaulted the "Videos" location back on the C drive but my separate storage F drive still had the "Videos" folder as well. This created what I can only assume was a permission conflict which was suspected after I tried to "Save As" the project file on the F drive and getting a prompt saying I don't have write access. I was able to confirm this by moving the project file to my "Downloads" folder on my C drive and was able to save my voice over clips without issue.

Solution: Move ALL project folders/assets out of the special "Videos" folder into a diferent location. 

Example: My "Videos" folder was located at F:\Videos\<project folders> so I moved my <project folders> so it looked like F:\<project folders>. I then deleted the "Videos" folder and made a new one that wasn't associated with the unique "Videos" folder Windows uses.

Appendix:

This is the unique icon Windows uses for its "Videos" folder. There are other similar unique folders Windows uses for things like Pictures, Music, etc.

Hi!

I am having this same issue and am having trouble comprehending what you are saying the fix is.

I found a temporary fix by creating a custom location for the Audio Preview and Audio Capture scratch disks. But after a couple of minutes it seems to be missing from the timeline again. I think it is saving the previews into the capture folder for some unknown reason.

Do the file names look like my one screenshot that are seemingly random strings of characters?

Yes! The ones that do work will be named "TRACK_11" etc. and then the ones that don't are those random numbers and letters.
