Adobe Premiere

I’m looking for some workflow advice from editors cutting heavier performance-based material in Premiere. I recently finished a band performance shoot where I have 17 takes of the same song stacked in a single sequence, essentially 17 video layers one above the other. My goal is to cut it almost like slicing a layer cake from top to bottom, meaning I want to move through the stacked takes visually and choose moments from each layer as I build the final edit. I haven’t cut a music video in years and this way of cutting was never an issue but I also never cut open gate material inside of a UHD timeline. Here’s the issue:Even when only the top visible layer is actually showing in the timeline output, I’m still getting dropped frames and laggy playback. It feels like Premiere is still trying to evaluate or play all 17 layers at once, even though nothing underneath the top layer is visible unless I cut down to it. My setup is not weak: Mac Pro M2 Ultra. 192 GB RAM. Mac OS Sequoia latest upd

Issue: Severe visual glitch (pink/purple block covering the bottom half of the frame) during playback of Canon C50 Open Gate .CRM files.Steps to reproduce: Import Canon C50 Open Gate Cinema RAW Light (.CRM) footage into a project. Add the clip to the timeline or preview it in the Source Monitor. Play back the footage with the Video Renderer set to Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal). Here is screen capturehttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fzr9rO6zlH1kBaeyd0443lkYmAFZI54l?usp=sharing Expected result: Smooth and accurate playback of the RAW footage without any visual artifacts or color distortion.Actual result: A massive pink and purple distorted glitch appears, covering the lower half of the video frame during playback.Workaround found: Downgraded to Adobe Premiere Pro version 25.0, where the footage plays back correctly without any glitches. Alternatively, in version 26.0.1, switching the Renderer in Project Settings to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" t

I have a merged source where I have combined audio track with video (due to studio outputting wrong/bad files) and using these merged sources in my edit. I have just noticed that these new clips have separate tracks (L/R) where if I need to edit volume I have to do it to both audio tracks. But another video source (see image below) one track has L/R. How do I change the audio tracks for A1 and A2 to be like A3 in one track only? 

Hi guys, super frustrating.  I am trying to drag and drop a motion graphic into my timeline, but every time I try it says that it is not compatible with my version of premiere and to update to the latest version.  My Premiere and AE are both up to date.This happens with every graphic I try to pull over from the adobe stock essential graphics tab. Screenshots attached. 

HelloWondering if anyone else has had the same issue. Im trying to move a project from my MacBook to my iMac using the method of Project Manager; Collect files and copy to new location.But every time I try this I get a error message saying "an unknown error occurred during the project manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation". I tried that and still no luck.Anyone able to shed light on the situation would be great. Or is there another way to move the project easily?Many thanksDan

after the last update of premier pro there is no longer the option to crop a clip/image/video with handles but only with % (right, left, bottom, up). when applying the crop effect and using the pen mask tool, i can use handles but i can’t succeed to get to the result that the cropped area is left and all the rest is erased. it was so much easier before… any solution?

I would like to propose a powerful feature enhancement for Adobe Premiere Pro that can significantly improve workflow efficiency for modern content creators and agencies.Feature Name: Auto Multi Video GeneratorOverview:A tool that automatically converts one long form video into multiple short form videos optimized for platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.Problem:Currently, editors manually create multiple short videos from a single source. This process is time consuming, repetitive, and limits content scalability especially for creators and agencies producing high volume content daily.Proposed Solution:Introduce an AI powered system that:Detects key moments, highlights, and engaging segments Automatically splits long videos into multiple short clips Generates multiple variations with different hooks and cuts Applies dynamic zooms and framing for vertical formats Adds captions and basic styling automaticallyKey Features:Smart scene and highlight detection Automatic

HelloI am investigating if it is possible to automate the batch unnesting of trimmed nested clipped in timeline, creating new video channels for the “exposed” clips? (Just like Resolve’s decompose clip)I can see a sequence nesting script in the community scripts that I am trying to retro fit for this need.Could it be possible? Any thoughts most welcomeThank you

I have project that I am exporting. It is one long video file.I am just adding subtitles and captions. It works fine in PrePro 26 AND 25.I can export via the PrePro Export tab and all works fine.However when I export via MediaEncoder the video file says “offline”. It is not offline.It all works fine in PrePro.I have tried linking.. relinking.. taking offline.. putting back online.. moving the fine.. renaming.all to no avail. It all works fine in PrePro, just not when exporting to Media Encoder. Any ideas? 

I want to make a gradually decaying size bounce effect to apply to a small logo on the corner of a video to call attention to it once in a while.That means the logo would become larger, then smaller, then larger (but not as large), then smaller (but not as small), a few times and then settle to its original size.I manage to do it using FI pop motion impact but it is tedious. A demo video is attached. Because the transition causes the size of the logo to start from zero, I have to nest it and cut off the first few frames so it starts from slightly larger than the logo original size.Is there a simpler way to do this, without having to nest and cut off a few frames?

I would like to request a feature enhancement for Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder.Currently, when exporting videos, users receive completion notifications only within the desktop environment. For professionals handling multiple exports or working on high-volume projects, it becomes difficult to constantly monitor the system.Requested Feature:A mobile notification system that alerts users when an export is completed.Suggested Implementation Options:Push notifications through the Adobe Creative Cloud mobile app Integration with email or SMS alerts Webhook or API support for third-party automation tools Optional desktop-to-mobile sync via Adobe accountUse Case:Content creators, agencies, and video editors often export multiple files daily. This feature would allow them to:Save time by not checking the system repeatedly Improve workflow efficiency Manage exports remotelyAdditional Suggestion:Allow users to enable or disable this feature and customize notification preferences.Thi

Hello, I’ve been using Premiere for almost a year now and feel very comfortable using it (I haven’t fully mastered color correction though.) I do want to get certified in Premiere and After Effects. I plan on taking the Premiere Certification exam in another month or 2. Do you all have any advice or coaching tips that could help? I want to make this a career. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and have an awesome day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Bug Report: Missing Mask Tools (iOS) Problem: The Masking tools (Ellipse, Rectangle, Pen) have completely disappeared in Premiere Pro 2026 on iOS. Location: Missing in both Opacity and Crop effects, across all tabs (Source and Clip settings). Comparison: In the 2025 version, these tools worked perfectly. In the current 2026 version, the icons are gone. Customer Feedback: I am a paid subscriber, and encountering such a major flaw in a paid product is a huge disappointment. I feel misled by this update. Expectation: Restore the Mask selection (Pen/Shapes) icons in the Effect Controls immediately.  

I exported a project and upon review there are several cases of incorrect footage being exported.  I dug further into the file and for the files that were not exporting correctly then took them offline.When I look at the source window in the upper left, the offline media shows up as a green screen, it knows that it is offline.However, in the timeline clip (and what is being exported) is an entirely different file.  The project should be showing me a blank screen with no footage but it’s gone ahead and found some and just stuck it in.  Does anyone know what is happening or how I might fix it?

After one of the most recent updates, the mouse scroll wheel will only move the plahead in the timeline if you are hovering over the Playback Monitor timeline, rather than the before where you could hover over anywhere in the Playback Monitor. Otherwise you're just zooming in and out of the Playback Monitor.Not sure if this is considered a bug or not but it would be nice to be able to have a setting to turn this on or off. 

I just want to create a simple fade in and out for text layers using opacity key frames, but they are not rendering. The text appears and disappears without the fade effect.  I have no other effects on the layers. I tried clearing cache, rendering in/out, and nesting (which I shouldn’t have to do), and unchecking “composite in linear color”, but nothing works.  This used to work until a month ago. 

I’ve been running into an issue with the search bar at the top of the Project Panel. At times, I’ll enter a word that I know exists in the project (in a sequence name, clip name, or metadata), and Premiere returns no results. However, if I manually navigate through the bins, I can clearly find the item. This isn’t a one-off….it happens intermittently and makes the search function feel unreliable. Is this a known bug, or is there something about how the Project Panel search works that I might be missing?

Media Encoder Export Crashes Premiere Beta V 26.3.0. Every time I use it - short key or through the menus 

How do I disable GPU acceleration here? Premiere won't let me switch to "software only".

I am working on a script that can change selected multicam or sequence video frame size settings.Gemini Ai is not being as reliable as I would have hoped, so maybe some can tell me where I am going wrong.Thank you
