Presets getting deleted everytime I close my Project.

[BAcon5C57]

I have been using premiere pro for around 4 years and I have never run into an issue like this. Everytime time I close out of my project in premiere pro my presets get deleted. So everytime I reload back in, I have to import them all over again. I have already seen a post on here about the same problem and the "solution" is reset your preferences. I have done this "solution" about 4 times now, and yes it does fix the problem, but it always tends to come back a few days later. I just would really like to know a permanant solution to this issue, or why this issue is happening in the first place, because resetting my preferences every few days is so damn annoying. I really don't wanna switch to a program like davinci but if this problem keeps up, I might have to because it's driving me crazy.

So I ended up turning off icloud drive sync.

Then I moved all the prfpset files in another safe folder,

Then I created a new preset and saved a unique name for it to find it in the newly the created Effect Presets and Custom Items file through text edit, and it was there.

Then I reopened Premiere, and the preset was actually still in my effects folder. So I imported in my other presets, closed premiere to see if it would remove them, and when I reopened it, it was still in my effects folder. I checked the directory to see if it made a new "Effect Presets and Custom Items" amd this time it didn't.

So I believe that the problem has been fixed.

But if for any reason in the next few days it occurs again I will reach back out. 

Thank you for the help.

I really appreciate it.

First I turned off Icloud Drive Sync

Then I moved my .prfpset files into another safe folder.

I then created a new preset.

After checking the directory, it did not create a new "Effect Presets and Custom Items" so I was able to find it in the original.

I then launched Premiere, and the preset I had made earlier was actually still in the effects folder. I decided to try to import my other presets to see if they would not be removed when I close premiere. After I imported them I closed the project and relaunched it and all the presets were still there.  I checked the directory and it did not make a new "Effect Presets and Custom Items" File

So I believe for now the problem is actually fixed, if anything happens in the next few days I will reach out again. 

Thank you

I really appreiciate it.
