Just updated all CC products to 2018 versions.
Opened Premiere Pro CC only to find that my custom export presets have disappeared. Why don’t Adobe warn people about this? Or is there a way to get my presets back?
Then I realised I still have a folder for Premiere Pro CC (2017) in Applications. So I tried opening the app only to get the message: ‘The application “Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017.app” can’t be opened.’ Please tell me there IS a way to open this app so I can at least make a note of my previous settings? And if not, what is the point of the app being there at all?

Your Export presets should still be on your system unless you deleted them.
Quit Premiere. Go to Documents > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 11.0 (or whatever version you created them in) > Presets. Copy your custom presets and paste into Documents > Adobe > Adobe Media Encoder > 12.0 > Presets folder. Launch Premiere and now the presets should be in 12.0. In the Export Settings dialog, you also have the option to add the presets (but, one at a time).

Hi Trent
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it and it seemed fine at first.
But then every time I tried File - Export - Media, I immediately got the message: ‘Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro CC to shut down’.
I even tried creating a completely new file containing just one movie - but still got the same problem. So then I tried removing my custom presets from folder 12.0 and succeeded in getting to the export panel. Then I used the Install Preset button, installed the preset I needed from folder 11.0 and was able to successfully export.
So, thank you all the same because I would never have know where to look to find the old preset. But please be aware that copying multiple presets in the way you describe can have disastrous results.

Well, that is not good. I tried copy/paste of a few MXF and MPEG presets and so far I have not run into this serious error crash. Maybe there is something specific about your presets or I'm missing something.
Would it be possible for you to supply all of the presets that you copy/pasted along with the crash log? Or, if you prefer, you can submit a bug report at Wishform - Adobe Premiere Pro
Thank you.

Hi Trent
I have more info for you as requested. Not sure if it will help.
First of all, I’ve tried replicating the problem several times but have got inconsistent results.
Test 1. I deleted all presets in folder 12 and copied the presets from folder 11. As expected PP crashed when I clicked Export.
Test 2. I deleted just one of the presets that I suspected was a New Sequence presets rather than an export preset. This time export worked.
Test 3. I deleted all presets in folder 12 leaving it blank. Surprisingly PP crashed when I clicked Export.
Test 4. Re-opened PP (nothing changed from Test 3) . This time export worked
Tests 5, 6 & 7. Re-opened PP (nothing changed from Test 3) . Each time PP crashed when I clicked Export
Test 8. Re-opened PP (nothing changed from Test 3) . This time export worked
So the only conclusion I can draw is that (for me at least) Premiere Pro CC 2018 is buggy and unreliable and liable to crash at export 2/3rds of the time. And I haven’t even mentioned that in the short time that I’ve been using Premiere Pro CC 2018 I’ve had at least 6 other random crashes which I can’t relate to any particular action.
Not sure how to supply you info about the presets I used. The one I deleted in Test 2 was called ‘2361x1728.epr’. Does .epr mean it’s an export setting? I noticed that it had the same name (without the .epr) as one of my custom New Sequence presets. Here are the details of that setting:

Thank you for the additional info. .epr is the extension used for export presets. Sequence presets have the extension .sqpreset and are located in the Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > (version) > Profile > Settings > Custom folder, so they should not be in the Adobe Media Encoder folder that contains your export presets.
As you are seeing other random crashes, possibly try deleting your Preferences and see if that helps. Quit Premiere, hold down Opt + Shift while launching Premiere. The other possibility is an issue with OpenCL on your system. Make sure your drivers are up-to-date and if so, try to switch your Renderer to Software Only. File menu > Project Settings > General > Video Rendering and Playback, switch Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.
If neither of those help, then I would suggest contacting Customer Care to help troubleshoot. Contact Customer Care

Hi Trent
Thanks for your advice.
Not sure what you mean by 'drivers'. I only know about printer drivers. I'll check them. Are there other sorts of drivers?
Apart from that I have latest OSx - all updates installed.
I'll try out your other suggestions.
Anyway thank you for taking time to look into my case - much appreciated.
Cheers

I appreciate your help, but honestly I think that problems like this should never arise. People work with Adobe Premiere instead of FCPX because we prefer a solid company and a solid product. How did the programmers and testers miss this problem when offering an update? I'm literally speechless.

Your video settings are strange.
Odd numbers, lower field with 1.0 PAR and 32000 audio.

My odd video setting (2361x1728) has turned out to be a red herring. I mentioned it just in case it was the cause of the problem - but I was wrong.
As Trent has pointed out, the settings I copied from the presets 11 folder were .epr - ie. Export Settings. Whereas the setting I gave details for (2361x1728) was a Sequence preset. I couldn’t tell because I’d given both settings the same name so I wondered if the presets 11 folder contained a mixture of Export and Sequence settings. Trent has explained that that folder only contains Export settings.
Also, I wasn’t using the 2361x1728 sequence preset for this job. The preset was a one off for a random job I had to do with those odd dimensions. It didn’t require sound so the audio setting is irrelevant. I didn’t know ‘lower field’ was considered odd though? I suppose I’ve been used to choosing ‘lower field’ as a default because that was always the specified setting when I used to import from a camcorder running DV tapes in the past. I’d be interested to know what you’d recommend?

Has Adobe put out a fix for this issue yet?

You must access your old Premiere 2017 Folder named "4E49...3634" and copy the presets.
Then you copy it again in the same folder in the 2018 version.
Here's a video (it's in portuguese but it's easily understandable):

Here's a link to download the 2017 presets:

There is definitely something wrong with the update process in Premiere as I lost my export presets as well with the most recent update. I searched my entire Mac for the old preset and it was gone. Fortunately I have autobackup on my mac into TimeMachine so I retrieved the export presets that had been backed up before the last update. Now with Timemachine, when you recover old data it automatically offers to put it back into the same subfolder it originated from, and in reviewing the contents of that subfolder there is no doubt it had been deleted.
I haven't used Premiere or even accessed that hard drive since just before the last software update, so there is nothing other than the update that could have deleted these files.
So... Adobe...this is definitely your issue.

yeah, my presets won't even work or show up. not even the default ones
