Bulletproof Premiere Pro: Best Practices for Stable Editing Workflow

Bulletproof Premiere Pro will save you hours of troubleshooting in the future. The workflow and editing habits you may have can cause a lot of headaches. It's worth investing in the best Premiere Pro practices.

In September 2018, I posted a video about 14 new features of Premiere Pro CC 2019. It has gathered a lot of views and comments. While a lot of people were happy to see the new release, quite a few complained that they won’t upgrade because Premiere won’t be stable in the new version. I feel the pain but this mindset comes from 2 places. From the wrong upgrade process and from editing workflow itself.

In my experience, many editors with good workflow say that Premiere Pro is a very stable program. It is for me as well. There’s a set of practices that are common for most of the good editing workflows. If you don’t know them, the chance is that you’re getting frustrated and that you’ll soon complain that it’s crashing all of the time. In this case, you’ll lose the time for troubleshooting for many projects and down the road, it will cost you not only time but eventually money. The more projects you’re involved in the more you’ll lose. And if you decide to switch to a different editing platform just to discover that it’s not crashproof either, that’s even more wasted time and money.

I’ve gathered together all of my good practices I’ve learned down the road during editing for full time and during my freelance work. I’ve also asked some editor friends for their advice and compiled together 46 best practices for editing in Premiere Pro.

The following video about clearing Media Cache Files is based on one of the chapters from the eBook.
