PremierePro CC – all preview files lost after Project Management

[Morten]

Preview files are kept in specific folders for each version of Premiere. On Mac this is in: /Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/.
You could consider trying to copy from the 6.0 to the 7.0 folder, but the preview file format might have changed…

Did you check include preview files when you project managed your final rendered sequence? It should grab the previews you created and put them in your final project managed folder. Just did a quick test and the preview files show up in the project managed version and in the newly created sequence (render is all green)

Thanks for the replies.

We usually select “Create New Trimmed Project” in Project Manager, that doesn’t give the option of “Include Preview Files”.

It still doesn’t explain why PP CC would unlink the preview files from the original project.

SALUTE!

If the original preview files were generated in CS6, then CC will assume a different file location.

Thanks Morten,
When we converted the projects from CS6 to CC we re-rendered all the previews. Everything was green. We made an export of the main timeline using the previews. All good. We then used Project Manager to archive the project. After project manager finished everything systemically unrendered. You could watch it go clip by clip changing the status from green to red.
