multiple projects

Steps to Reproduce Bug:

1. Open a Project

2. Open another project

3. Look at your screen





Results:

Multiple projects are open and it is very difficult to understand which project is which. It is much too easy to close the wrong project or affect an asset in the wrong project. Many users complain that the workspaces also change when if this is a workflow you want people to use then the workspace should stay the same throughout. A few suggestions:

1. Let the user disable this feature. It does not make sense for all of your users.



2. Make the highlighted/active project very obvious. Drop the other project into the background by maybe greying it out.





Expected Results:

A more obvious workspace.

Color code the open projects! Just tweak the color of the UI (lighter or darker) slightly and apply to all open sequences as well as the project panel. Done.

No need to remove the feature but please make a preference to be able to disable.

Solution:

1. Open a project.

2. Close that project.

3. Open the next project.

Done, and Adobe can spend limited resources on better things.

I like anf fully agree with Cameron:

"Personally my vote would be for an independent window to open with each new project, with the full Premiere UI. Yes, you would have to switch between windows to access each project, but it would be much more intuitive which project you were in at any time. And you could still have the option to float any panel out of that window if you want to drag and drop between projects, keep certain elements in view, etc. (perhaps combined with some of the visual clues others are suggesting, to make it obvious the panel is from a different project)"

It would be amazing to have the option to work with two completely different projects in completely separate windows. Most of my projects are not related, and so only having the option to open a 'project within a project' often feels like it's more confusing.

Lol how good is your hearing? No one said remove, we’re all just sick of lazy implementation on features we have no control over.
