@Tamfleur I'm sorry, we aren't able to give out versions that old. That said, you should be able to open those projects still in the current versions of Premiere Pro. What happens, or what message do you see, when you try to open the project?

@Jarle Leirpoll is this "temperature" only about deciding where to split the transcript into caption segments? Or is it also changing the actual words?

@lenzom28207173 Thank you for your detailed report, and I'm sorry this is happening.
You mentioned you are on Premiere Pro 24.3. As a first step, could you try updating to the latest version 25.2.3? It's possible you're seeing an issue we've fixed.

@Robbie34135385e7mh I agree with Sumeet that if you successfully quit Premiere Pro, and did not click "No" to any Save dialogs that may have appeared, your project should be there somewhere. It's difficult to know exactly what to suggest without seeing what you see, but, I figured I could give a little additional background to how things work with multiple projects in Premiere Pro.
Premiere Pro supports having as many project files open at once as you like. You can always get a full list of all open projects by going to Window > Projects. If there is a check next to the project name, that means there is a Project panel open somewhere that is pointed at that project. If there is no check, the project is still open (using system memory) but there is no Project panel open for it. Click the project to open a Project panel for that project.
Additionally, there is always one (and only one) active project. This is the project that will receive project-specific commands, like "Save Project" or "Close Project". The active project's name is always in the top center of the header bar. If you had P1 and P2 open and clicked between their Project panels or between two sequences, you'll see the top header bar change back and forth between P1 and P2.
Finally, when you do a File > Save (or CMD+S), that is only targeting the active project. You can use File > Save All Projects if you want to make sure to save all open projects. Some editors even prefer to change the CMD+S to be Save All Projects, just to be safe. If you quit Premiere Pro and any open projects are unsaved, you'll get a separate "Do you want to save?" dialog warning for each project.

@boondock one thing you could try for now is to shrink your main Premiere Pro window from the left side towards the middle of the screen, so that your File/Edit/Clip etc menus are where you'd like them. Then, you can undock some of the panels you'd like to have on the left side of your screen, and just move them over as floating panels. You can combine multiple panels into a new window, or keep them all as separate windows. Then go to Window > Workspaces > Save as New Workspace to save it for the future.

@WhiteBuffalo ah, I understand how that could confuse things. Until there is a proper Delete Transcript option, you can go inside the group and right click on the camera audio and choose "Ignore Transcript". This means that for that specific sequence, the transcript for that audio is not used in the sequence's transcript.

@deep_0805 I'm glad that was the issue and you were able to get working! The best way to tell if RAM is the issue is to load up your typical project, work for a little bit, and then open up Task Manager on your Windows system and look at how much Memory is being used by Premiere Pro. If your system has basically all the memory used and none free, then it means probably RAM is the reason or at least part of the reason it's not feeling responsive while you work.

@Kristian_Otero are you talking about in the Search panel, there's a banner telling you that analysis is turned off, and a button to turn it on? We had a small bug there that is also fixed in Pr 25.3. The banner is supposed to let you know when there are clips not analyzed, but the bug is that in 25.2 it is warning you when the analysis preference is turned off. You can ignore this banner and try searching anyway, you should still see visual results coming up.

@budiliscious1 Make sure you're on the latest version of Premiere Pro (25.2 or later) and you can make use of the automatic color management to make the HDR material sit nicely in SDR color space.
Sequence Settings > Color Management should be set to Color Setup: Direct Rec. 709 (SDR). With this color setup, any HDR clips put in the timeline will be tone mapped into SDR and should look pretty good. Note: with this new color management, you do not need to override the source clip. You should go back into Modify > Color for that clip and set it to "Use Media Color Space" which should be listed as Rec. 2100.

@Sagar34081776kh7w As Ann mentions, this is happening by design and was a much-requested feature for editors who prefer the visual feedback.
You can turn it off by going to View > Dynamic Audio Waveforms. You can also map it to a keyboard shortcut key if you'd like to use it sometimes and quickly toggle it.

@kai_5578 I'm glad to hear you are liking the Media Intelligence search!
The way the analysis works there actually isn't a text description of each clip that we could easily expose. The semanting meaning of the video is encoded into a mathematical vector space, not text.
All of that said, I think you're right that it would be useful to have the option to include some kind of text description, like "tell me what's in this footage." I'll make sure the team gets your feedback!

@POwens Thanks for sharing the details of what you're seeing. This is not a bug, it is Productions working as designed. Scratch disk locations are part of Project settings, but in a Production they are part of the Production settings and applied to all projects in that Production. This is crucial for things like Video Previews, as it ensures that a sequence rendered by Editor A is also rendered for Editor B (because they both are guaranteed to be seeing the same scratch disk location, since it's in one place for the whole production).
I understand though that you'd like the Auto Save location to work differently. I'll make sure to share this with the team.

@Jeffuno Thank you for the feedback! You're not the only person who has suggested something like this.
In the meantime, you could create a sort of "archive" project where you just import all the footage on your drive, don't make any sequences or anything else. You don't have to put it in bins or do any organization, just import all the footage and let the analysis run.
Then you could just open this project when you want to search your whole drive or archive. Premiere Pro can have both your edit project and this archive project open at the same time, and when you search and find the clip, dragging it into your actual edit project will move the clip over automatically.

@Iliocrandi Good news – as of Premiere Pro 25.2 and later, this is now possible. Go to Preferences > Media Analysis & Transcription and set the cache option at the top to "Next to the media as a sidecar file". Now when you transcribe source clips, it will cache the transcript next to the media file as a ".prmi" file with the same name. Then later if you import that media file into a new project, Premiere Pro will see the .prmi file and bring in the transcript without needing to re-transcribe.

@Kristian_Otero There are two stages to the overall Media Intelligence process. First the media file is analyzed and cached based on your settings, second its results are added to the project index (.prin).
When you do a Save As, this creates a new .prproj file but without a corresponding .prin file. So what you're seeing then is that second step being repeated. It's not that all the analysis is re-done, it's that Premiere Pro is going out to each of the .prmi sidecar files you have and indexing them into the new .prin file.
All of that is just an explanation, but obviously we can do better here. In Premiere Pro (Beta) v25.3 we have improved it so that when you do a Save As, we'll write the .prin file automatically to avoid even the re-indexing that you're seeing. So if you can, install the Beta and try your same exact steps. You shouldn't see any additional re-indexing just from a Save As.

@Andreas_Jonson hm, that's strange. On my system the In/Out duration seems to be working just fine for the Timeline/Program monitor. I did find out that it's not working in the Source Monitor, and it turns out that's an issue that broke in our Beta version and it's strictly only the Source Monitor. We've got a fix for that coming.
But, you say it's happening in Program Monitor and I'm just not able to get mine to do anything wrong. Could you share a screen recording of it happening?

When you have a source clip transcript in the Text panel, you can click in the transcript once to place the cursor, and then use the Split button at the top of the transcript to split that segment into two, at the cursor point. Then change the speaker name to the correct person.

@antonh64696242 I'm sorry you're not having a good experience. I assure you Premiere Pro can be used for long-form projects. But I'm not here to argue with you! Clearly something is going wrong. As Neil mentioned, I'd recommend becoming famliar with the Long Form and Episodic Best Practices Guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/long-form-episodic-best-practices.html. It was written as a reference (don't try to read it one sitting!) to describe a best practices flow from dailies through to turnovers.
Two questions that can help me understand your situation in relation to what you have experienced in Media Composer:
What format/codec is your footage? Is it camera original files, or dailies, or proxies made by Premiere Pro?
Are you using a single project file or a Production?
Thanks,
Matt

@malikaw74728363 it depends. Sequences can be in two transcript modes. By default, sequences are in Text-Based Editing mode, which means that the transcript is automatically assembled from the source clip transcripts and the sequence transcript dynamically updates as the sequence is edited. In a Production, you need to go back to the source clips and transcribe them in whatever project they live in, and then open the sequence, and the transcript will update into the sequence.
You can also put a sequence into "static transcript" mode, which is where a transcript is made of the audio in the sequence and it does not dynamically updated as the sequence is edited. You can go to the "..." menu in the transcript panel and choose "Generate static transcript" to put the sequence in this mode. In a Production you can always do this kind of transcript, no matter where the source clips live.
I think you're asking about the first, default mode and in that case as Neil points out if you have a sequence already cut but the source clips weren't transcribed, you'll need to do open the project/bin containing the clips you want and transcribe them there. Then when that source project and the project with the sequence are both open at the same time, the transcript will sync across and allow for Text-Based Editing.

@Andreas_Jonson could you confirm which version of Premiere Pro you're seeing this in? I can see this issue in the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro (Beta) v25.3. When I change the In or Out point, the In/Out Duration text doesn't update.
I don't see this happen in the regular release version though. Do you?

@pirttre Yes, the transcription text data does get saved into the project file. Therefore a project file with transcripts will be larger than the same project without transcripts.
However, text data is relatively tiny in terms of data storage and the Premiere Pro project format uses data compression when it is saved to disk. Text data like transcripts compress extremely well, and the compression ratio gets better the more text there is. There's no amount of transcribing you could realistically do to a 10 MB project file to make it 100 MB.
As I said before, we've heard that there's a utility to being able to delete a transcript, no debate there. I just want to make the point that the existence of transcript data in your project shouldn't be slowing it down, and definitely not because of file size.

@KWStrick that's not a bad idea, thanks for suggesting it! I'll make sure it gets passed along to the right team.
If you run Scene Edit Detection on a clip in a timeline and check the option to add markers, those markers are added to the clip and thus also appear on the source clip and in the Source Monitor as well. So you could do that and then just delete the clip or timeline afterwards. Obviously that's not as smooth as it would be if it were available in the Source Monitor, so your idea still makes a lot of sense.

@richarda66559596 How did you "copy the sequences separately into a new production"? It sounds like you have two productions, and you want to take a project from each of them into a new production, is that correct? If so, follow these steps:
You have an existing "Production 1" and a "Production 2". Create a new "Production 3" (call it whatever you want, I'm just using numbers to be clear)
In the file system (Finder on Mac or Explorer on Windows) copy the project you want from Production 1 into the Production 3 folder.
Do the same with the project from Production 2, copy that project into Production 3
Now Production 3 has the two projects you wanted to bring in. You should be able to open one of the projects, select the sequence, and then choose Edit > Generate Source Clips for Media

@Cesca25895813rflo Premiere Pro does not create files with that "conflicted" name added. My guess is that you are storing your production in some kind of syncing service like Dropbox or Google Drive, and it is doing this when it detects a conflict so as to not destroy any data.

@Caleb34074613vo2m it's possible this issue is being caused by a third-party extension. Do you have any installed under Window > Extensions?
You can try removing them by removing them from this folder:
Windows: C:\\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
Note: anything in the extensions folder there with "adobe" in the name or CC_LIBRARIES should be left alone. Look for any non-Adobe, third-party extensions.

@EgeEAZ I'm sorry, I got my terms crossed. Premiere Pro has two ways third parties can build into the app: plugins and extensions.
Plugins cover things like formats, codecs, control surfaces, and hardware I/O. When you launched Pr holding shift and clicked the box to disable third-party plugins for that launch, that was disabling these.
Extensions are anything that includes a third-party panel. They are not disabled by launch option mentioned above, but I gave you their install path by mistake. So, forget what I said previously about Window > Extensions and the \Adobe\CEP\extensions folder.
Instead, you should look at which plugins you have installed, since you know disabling plugins for one launch solved the issue. You can find these by opening the Effects panel, clicking on the panel menu (three horizontal lines next to "Effects") and then choosing "Manage Video Effects". That will list all installed plugins and their paths. You can disable them there, or, go to the file path shown and remove them and then relaunch Premiere Pro.
Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks everyone for you input on this issue. We didn't prioritize building in a "delete transcript" function originally because we believed that the ability to edit the transcript or re-transcribe would cover any common situation.
We hear you though that there are cases where it's just better to clear out the transcript completely. I don't have a date I can promise yet, but, the team is aware of this need.
