Add Frame Hold on Premiere Pro 2026 does not work

As the title states. This morning after updating I was simply trying to cut a video file over top to stay at it’s preferred frame. Once I cut the layer at the preferred point I right clicked to Add Frame Hold, yet no matter what I did the frame would not hold. It would either create another cut and not frame hold, or it would do nothing and not frame hold. 

Other users in the past recommended right clicking and Clicking Ok once you click on Hold Frame Options, but that did not work as intended either. 

Obviously an easy work around is to just take a snapshot of the preferred layer at the preferred time and reimport it, but the frame hold saves me several clicks and is easier for project hand off.

    Hi ​@Hunter22157998mvlf,

     

    Sorry you’ve been experiencing issues. Let us know if the suggestions helped. Otherwise we need a few more details like hardware and operating system information. Please see How to Report a Problem.

     

    Is this issue happening with a specific clip or a specific project (or is it happening with different clips and in other projects)? Could you share additional details of the media you are working with? (source, format, resolution, fps, effects applied, etc).

     

    A screen recording of the behavior can also be helpful if you’re able to share.

     

    Sorry for the frustration,

    Dani

    instead of cutting, THEN trying to add a frame hold; move your playhead to the desired frame then add a framehold without cutting.
