    I'm in the UK, this update does not exist, does anyone else have this issue? I cannot update, it simply does not exist on my creative cloud app and am stuck on 25.4.1

    Having all these new Film Impact transitions and effects is great, but there are some bugs/limitations. After an hour of frustration, it seems that unfortunately the Text Animator does not work if you need to use a stoke/shadow/background (in the properties panel) for your text. Super frustrating that I still have to go back into After Effects for something as simple at "social style" text it I want things to pop up word by word after this being so close to the perfect fix!

    The new “New Project” workflow is a major step backward. What used to be a simple, one-step process is now bloated with extra clicks and wasted time. It’s clunky, inefficient, and flat-out frustrating to use.

     

    For the price you charge monthly, this kind of user-hostile redesign is honestly unacceptable. Please either restore the old streamlined dialog or give us a toggle. Forcing this change on your paying customers with no option to revert feels tone-deaf and dismissive of the people who rely on Premiere professionally.

    I just bought Adobe Premiere Pro. But it says I can't open it in my current app. How do I get it to download and use off of BING OR COPILOT?

    I updated it in a project where I have about 30 edited videos, and it started giving me file import errors and frame errors in many videos from the image bank.

    Been using Premiere Pro daily for editing short-form content, and each update like 25.5 adds those little refinements that quietly save hours. Curious to see if this version smooths out the timeline responsiveness during multicam edits.

    I recently shared some hands-on tips and real-world workflow examples for fellow editors here: https://chickenpastill.com  might be helpful if you're diving into the new version too.

    Hi! Does this version work well with the new version of macOS 26? Has anyone updated? Thanks.

    Does not work well at all. macOS 26 tanked my premiere

    Love getting some of these new FX but none of them appear in After Effects so dynamic linking anything with one of the film impact effects becomes a little more complicated. Any plans on moving some of the effects in AE. A little shocked it wasn't there day one.

    My software updated to the new version and now it will not transcribe audio.

    I have tried putting at the source, putting it on a timeline and making it mono.

    Each time it shows a status bar that it is starting to transcribe and stops almost immediately.
