Sequences don't stay in order in Premiere CC

[David Pakman]

I have a new install of Premiere CC. Going there from an older version. I have a project where I order my sequences in a certain way, and when I reopen the project later, they are out of order. They always stayed in the same order in prior version of Premiere. What might solve this?

This bug is fixed in 2014.2. But you must import a project that suffers from it to a new project created in 2014.2. Easy workaround but not documented anywhere by Adobe!

that's excellent, i recently did an update. can you just tell me exactly what you mean by "important a project into a new project created in 2014.2?" I want to be sure i'm doing this correctly.

Im not on my computer right now so this is from memory:

Create a new project in CC 2014.2
Choose File - Import project (check the box: complete project), browse to the old project file.

It will import all project files, sequences etc. as it was in your old project. Its really simple and works great.

I use this method every time now when I continue to work on a project created in older version of PP just to get rid of any possible bugs due to version changes.

Darn, I did this exactly, reopened the project, and sequences were out of order again. I confirmed I am running 2014.2. What else might I try?

Hmmm... strange. Does this happen to even new projects created in CC 2014.2?

Unless you have a particular problem with your machine you might have done something different from what I meant.

Just to clarify you opened CC 2014.2 and created a brand new project with nothing else in it? Then you imported your old non-working 2014.1 project into that and saved it with a new name?

Exactly, new project in 2014.2, import old project, open and arrange sequences like I want them, save, exit. Then, reopen that project, sequences are out of order.
