increment and save for Premiere

Fran... This is still not enough. Autosaves are not the same as manual incremental saves by a wide margin. If I am in the flow, a quick shortcut keeps me focused. If I find out that I need to refer back to an old version, it is a hassle to go back into the autosave archives created automatically. It is too much of a mess.
Plus autosaves are incremented at a certain time. With an incremental save, I can decide when I make a new version. This helps with many pipelines I have worked in. If I export an edit as V04, and later by v07, I need to reference something that was changed in V04, with manual incremental saves I know exactly where to go because my project and exports align. To find that in an Autosave archive takes so much more time, and its a lot of guesswork to figure it out. This feature should be in more than just After Effects.

This has been sorely missing from Premiere Pro. I'd be grateful if it could be clever as well. If I choose to call my project "timeline 1.3" for example, hitting increment and save would understand the naming convention and create "timeline 1.4" and not "timeline 1.3_1"

Can we bring this idea forward again? Been waiting for this for many years.

This should be across ALL Adobe applications. Such a simple feature but very, very useful.

There is no real reason for it not to be implemented globally.

Processes to Increment and Save in AE:

1) Choose File
2) Choose Increment and Save

(of course this could be even quicker using shortcuts)

Stages for the same process in Premiere:

1) Choose File
2) Choose Save As
3) Click at end of existing file name
4) Delete previous version number
5) Type new version number
6) Click Save

This is something that needs doing multiple times during a typical editing session. Not only is this an ease of use issue, the longer completion path discourages editors from making timely organised saves while they are 'in the flow'.

Please implement this feature.

I agree this has been a great time saver, as well as eye saver. Pushing one button means I have a new version and I don't have to be blinded by a new finder window to do it. I don't have to type anything or even think about what the next version should be. I can continue working.

It's mostly frustrating that Adobe isn't trying to create any consistency between their apps, even at a base function level. But at least we have Character animator...

I don't think Adobe should argue this point but just go ahead and implement it an let people use it if they want to. Provide features that people ask for not what you tell them to use. Not only that, the aim should be for a similar user experience across applications, and if that means having to add a feature that one application has but another doesn't, then so be it.
