PP 2014: Improved handling of large projects?
Adobe’s language in describing the PP 2014 update includes: The Premiere Pro update also offers a faster editing workflow with improved handling of large projects
I’m about to handle a large project in a few days, and I cautiously enjoy reading that phrase – does anyone know what specific new features “improved handling of large projects” references? I was hoping we could break large projects into smaller ones and have two or more open at a time, but I don’t see this mentioned. If you’re aware of the features Adobe’s referring to here, please help out a diver on the board about to plunge.
Many thanks!

Be careful!!!
I’ve already opened a VERY small CC project in CC 2014, right-clicked on a dynamic linked AE project on the timeline to ‘Edit Original’. Of course the ‘original’ opened in AE CC 2014, which was then saved with a ‘_1’ added to the filename instead of overwriting the ‘original’. Then when I opened the PP project again, the ‘original’ AE project was still linked in the timeline, and the project hung just as all medal loaded – forcing a hard close of Premiere.
I probably should have saved over the ‘original’ AE project file instead of letting it create the 2nd file. I’ll give that a try, but it looks like I was prudent in leaving CC on my machine until the bugs in the ‘public beta’ are worked out.
As for now, I’ll keep working on CC projects with CC, and possibly try 2014 out on new projects only. May not be a direct answer to your question, but just a warning that all is not settled, and unless you want to spend a LOT of time troubleshooting Adobe’s software for them, without compensation, perhaps stick with CC.

Steve, this comment is VERY helpful. Thank you! Exactly what I was afraid might happen with my dynamically linked AE comps. So I suppose the best workflow (when I eventually do take the plunge) is to open and resave the AE project with the same name (obviously keeping a backup of the original file in another folder), then open the Premiere project? That would avoid these issues, right?

On the surface that seems like it would work. I’ll give it a try this morning and report back.
