Opening Premiere 2020 Project file in Premiere 2021 "fill right with left" issue

[defaultan6a7w46wz98]

I exclusively use adobe Media Encoder to export from premiere so when media encoder auto-updated, I was forced to update premiere to the 2021 version. I opened a project that I was in the middle of in 2021 premiere and it saved as a new version which it does every time I update. So, I didn't expect to have a problem and it shocked me when my audio wasn't playing. I narrowed down the problem to the "fill right with left" effect I had on my audio. Somehow, the 2021 version of Premiere swapped the "fill right with left" effect to "fill left with right" effect, making my audio disappear. and deleting the effect and reapplying it fixes the issue. Hopefully someone can find this useful!

Now that is interesting.. thanks for posting that here. I'm sure somebody will find it useful until it gets fixed.

Thank you so much. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out why my dialogue disappeared but the music was still playing.

I just updated Premiere pro to the 2021 version. I edit a project, saved it and I can't find the sequences anymore. What should I do. Please help! It took me a while to edit these sequences. I don't want to re-edit from scratch :((
