Timelines not saved

[Vadim Cherny]

When working with two open timelines (pancake-editing) and closing the project while saving, the source-timeline is not saved and you have to open it manually. Is it possible to somehow configure the program so that it saves and loads the source timeline when opening the project too?

[Brandon Loshe]

I don't think I fully understand what you're asking. Is your 2nd timeline part of another project? Or are both timelines in one project? Also, do you switch between multiple worspaces? Might need a little more elaboration.

Now I save the project and close the program......and open the project again. Where is the source-timeline???

Open the project again... Where is the source-timeline?

[Ann Bens]

Save the workspace.

[Vadim Cherny]

It does not help - source timeline is empty.

I would think to do what Ann said. Actually, I just did, and it worked on my end. I think I have an answer, though. I notice in your first screenshot it has "(Source Monitor)" after the name of your timeline. Try to just open your "source" timeline like you normally would next to "master" within that same panel, move that "source" timeline (the panel) up/down, and then save the workspace? Does that accomplish what you are trying to do? When I close Premiere Pro and open it again, it keeps that saved workspace similar to what I think you are trying to do.

Yes, when I reopen my project, the workspace remains the same but one of my timelines is empty!... Why does Premiere not save its content? And I have load it manually every time 😞

[Brandon Loshe]

Really...hmm...So it doesn't say "(Source Monitor)" anymore on that timeline, and it still doesn't reopen the way we want it? What version of Premiere are you on?

[Vadim Cherny]

14.0

And what does it mean ''it doesn't say "(Source Monitor)" anymore on that timeline, and it still doesn't reopen the way we want it?" Why should i do "reopen" again after saving? Premiere should immediately save all my work without any exceptions, as I understand it right...

[Brandon Loshe]

Here is the screenshot that you posted with (Source Monitor) highlighted and a second screenshot of what I'm talking about.

saa4, Help clarify this thread. It's not a saving issue, it's a workspace issue. Your timeline is not opening; but it has nothing to do with saving which refers to the project itself, cuts, clips, etc. You want your secondary / source sequence also open, but for now it just has a blank timeline space. This thread is named incorrectly.

[Vadim Cherny]

Thanks capitan but maybe we are solving this wrong question? I described my problem in this thread completely i think... Just read the whole thread???

yw sailor, when you say you 'I have load it manually every time' you mean you get it from the project and open it in the timeline window you want? Or are you reloading all the individual clips into it again.

[Ann Bens · Accepted solution]

I read your thread again and tested it and it has nothing to do with the workspace as I suggested on the fly.

Yes the timeline (source monitor) is empty on opening the project. It did not load the sequence from the souce monitor.

The source monitor itself is always empty, has no reference to clips or sequences on opening a project hence the timeline is empty also.

I found that this issue was already written to UserVoice-page... A big request for you to vote for its consideration!

I dont think this will be adressed as that is not the way the SM works.

They will have to rewrite the program.
