You weren't imagining it, and you weren't alone. Why It MattersStability fixes don't get the spotlight that new features do, but for working editors they're often the most important updates Adobe ships. A hang mid-edit isn't just an annoyance — it's lost time, broken focus, and in deadline-driven work, it can cost real money. The fact that multiple users independently identified 26.0.2 a

Hey all—Now that the official announcement is out, I wanted to share a few thoughts on Frame.io Drive and what it changes in practice.At a high level, Frame.io projects can now mount directly to your desktop, so media shows up in Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) like a local drive.The interesting part is that you can start working with files immediately — without downloading them first.What that looks likeOnce Frame.io Drive is installed, you can open media directly in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and other creative tools.
