Bug Report — Custom Effect Presets Not Appearing in Effects Panel (Premiere Pro 26.00)

Subject: Bug Report — Custom Effect Presets Not Appearing in Effects Panel (Premiere Pro 26.00)

Hello Adobe Support / Premiere Pro Product Team,

I would like to report a bug in Adobe Premiere Pro version **26.00** related to saving and displaying custom effect presets.

**Issue Summary**

When I save a custom effect preset (via Effect Controls → right-click → “Save Preset”), Premiere Pro successfully generates the preset file (e.g., “Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset”), but the preset **does not appear in the Effects panel** under “Presets.”  

In some cases, the folder appears briefly but disappears when the Effects panel is closed and reopened. The preset never stays visible even after restarting the application.

**Steps to Reproduce**

1. Open Adobe Premiere Pro 26.00.

2. Apply motion/keyframe adjustments to a clip.

3. Open **Effect Controls**.

4. Right-click the effect group (e.g., Motion / Transform) and select **Save Preset…**.

5. Name the preset and click OK.

6. Open the **Effects** panel — the preset does not appear under *Presets*.

7. Close and reopen the Effects panel — the *Presets* folder disappears.

**Expected Result**

Saved custom presets should remain visible in the Effects panel under *Presets* and be reusable in other projects.

**Actual Result**

The preset does not show up and is not accessible via the UI even though the `.prfpset` file is created on disk.

**Additional Details**

– This issue persists after restarting Premiere Pro.  

– Environment preferences reset and media cache clearing have been attempted.  

– The problem occurs in both new and existing projects.  

– The file *Effect Presets and Custom Items.prfpset* is created but not reflected in the UI.
