SAVE as is GOING BESERK!

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey Cynthia,

621MB project – that is crazy big.

Can you open a new project and import timeline from old project into it?

I normally split my projects at about 30MB, and then reduce size by save as new version number X.

First thing I do is delete all unused timelines out of that project, and then save again.

I have just closed a big project where PPro v25 gave me no end of trouble.

We are talking freeze on loading project, crash out of project, and bluescreen on Windows 11.

PPro version 25.1 is my preferred version, but for the final run I went to 25.2.3 – and that again, courtesy of A.I. decided to kill off my project – eventually I realised that there is a lot of A.I. that is worth switching off.

Hope that this helps.

hi

am on a Mac, but yes will make the project file smaller and serif it helps

thank you

I had the same issues when updating to versions above 25.1. GPU/CPU/Power usage numbers went all the way to the top. Back to normal when I downgraded to 25.1.

I chatted with an Adobe tech person and they confirmed that this was an issue and that they were working on it. That was over a month ago, however. I’m still not confident enough to try newer versions.

Hey Bob and Cynthia,

And, then Adobe “forgot” to tell you what untold damage their new .prin file format in PPro v25.2+ is doing to your project(s).

Once you get rid of that, you are still only half-way there to get a stable editing software.

.prin is otherwise known as “AI-powered Media Intelligence”.

Hi everyone. I am thinking of migrating to Premiere Production mostly so that the project file is. smaller but also because there are multiple editors not in one place. But before I do this I need to get rid of duplicate clips that are associated to specific sequences. Is there a way to reassociate the clips on the timeline that use the duplicates with the original, does it have to be done manually sequence by sequence, bin by bin? Is there someone who can guide me on Production.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

There are some options to detect and get rid of duplicate clips in Premiere Pro. With the latest updates, you can use Edit Menu>Consolidate Duplicates to get rid of duplicate clips at the bin level.

And for timelines, click the wrench icon at the top left of the timeline and choose Show Duplicate Frame Markers. This one requires manual labor but is very helpful.

Hi Devrim, Yes but if you use consolidate, if the duplicates are in a sequence it deletes all of the footage, it does not replace it with the original, so this does not work.

The only method I can see is going to the sequences with the duplicates manually and trying to reassociate the media. I just was hoping I could take the duplicates in the bin and reassociate that media with the original and then delete the extra set and it would not impact the media in the sequences. I hope this is clear. I have not tried reassociate media, have just read about it, that sometimes it works, sometimes not, but still it is a manual ordeal, going to each sequence and reassociating the duplicate clips with the original.

Is there anyone on this forum who can speak about the benefits of PRODUCTION Premiere.

I am working with a few editors and even if I make the Premiere files smaller they are still 143 MB. Thank you Cynthia

Hi, well, that is strange, I just did a test to verify this right now, to be sure, and what happened here is it only deletes the duplicate file in the bin, and those in sequences stay where they are. I mean that is the purpose of this command.

Not sure why it didn’t work on your project 🙁

[Cynthia Madansky]

If you delete the duplicates in the bin and they are attached to a sequence then the media is gone from the sequence too… I need to replace the media in the sequence which is a duplicate clip with the original media. Thank you

[Devrim Akteke]

Just to be sure, are you deleting duplicates manually or by using the Consolidate duplicates command? When you are manually deleting, yes, that should be the behaviour, but with the consolidate command, it shouldn’t behave that way. But who knows, this is Premiere at the end.
