newest update label colors are not showing up in project panel

Trying to label some clips for use but with the newest Premiere update the labels are just gone, or invisible etc. They are enabled in the metadata settings, and I can change the color label for clips or bins, but nothing shows up where it should. Just an empty column.

    Hi codys72658089,

     

    We're sorry about the poor experience. We're are aware of a similar issue with Pr v14.6. This issue is occurring with projects created in the previous versions of Premiere Pro. To fix this issue you may create a new project and then navigate to File > Import and import the project file you were working with. Once imported you should see all the labels. You may save this new project and use this instead of the older one. Hope it helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Sumeet

    This does work, but as others have stated, this is NOT a FIX. This is a WORKAROUND for the specific project you're working on. If you're an editor, like me, who works off project templates, you'll need to either do this to your template(s) or do this process every time.

    Adjust your workflows accordingly people.

      Newest update just did it again 15.4.... reverting back to 14.9 total nightmare. At least the user experience remains consistant.

        Oh, and this time, with 15.4, the import into new project workaround doesnt work anymore.

          Same problem.  And the answer is NOT  FIX.  Its a workaround to 1001 other workarounds to fix things you keep breaking every update.

          This has been fixed in 14.7.

          I just updated to 14.7 from 14.4 because of another issue (certain sequences suddenly became immobile in the project panel—can't move them to any other bin).

          I just opened the project, and the issue of no color labels next to items in the bin still persists. I did the workaround described above, and it seemed to work.

          It also didn't fix my original bug—so, not sure where you're getting your info from...

          Great, thanks. That did actually help the project browser label issue. However there's still another label issue, which is in the timeline. If I change the color of a clip label in the timeline it now changes the color of every clip with the same name. Meaning, if I've cut up a video file to use in various parts of the timeline, now they all change. I used to use this as a quick way to know clips a client didn't like etc to change/replace (label a single clip red, for instance), and now I can't do that.

          Could it be this setting?

            Seemed promising, but no dice! So far it looks like—until Adobe does it's next update, we're going to have to copy old projects into new ones in order to use labels. This really is unacceptable, Adobe—our time matters, and this should have been caught early in the QC process.
