Audio “Tick” Noise When Reversing Clips with “Maintain Audio Pitch” Enabled in Premiere Pro 2025

Hello Adobe team,

I’ve encountered an audio issue in Premiere Pro 2025. When I reverse a video clip and enable “Maintain Audio Pitch” in the Speed/Duration settings, the resulting audio plays with noticeable “tick” or clicking noises. This happens even on clean audio files without effects applied.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Import a clip with audio into the timeline.

  2. Right-click → Speed/Duration.

  3. Enable Reverse Speed and Maintain Audio Pitch.

  4. Play back the clip.

Result: The audio contains repeated “tick” noises, as if small glitches are being introduced.

Expected: Smooth reversed playback with pitch preserved, without added artifacts.

Note: This issue does not occur in older versions of Premiere Pro like 2024 or 2023 — reversing with “Maintain Audio Pitch” used to work without introducing these artifacts.

Workarounds I’ve tried:

  • Disabling “Maintain Audio Pitch” and manually applying the Pitch Shifter effect (works but less convenient).

  • Clearing cache / testing with multiple audio formats (no change).

It seems to be specific to the Maintain Audio Pitch algorithm during reversal in Premiere Pro 2025. Could this be addressed in a future update?

i have attached the evidence with this post correct this ASAP Plz Adobe team

Thank you!

Hi @Mehmood35876555guer,


Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums and thank you for reporting a problem. What specific Premiere Pro version are you on and what hardware are you working with? 

Is this happening with all your projects and media files or is it file/project specific? What type of media are you working with and what is their source? 

Sorry for the frustration, 
Dani
