Product/version: Adobe Premiere Pro 25.4 and 25.4.1 (buggy). All earlier versions (≤25.3) work correctly.
OS/Hardware: macOS Sonoma (Apple Silicon/Intel), RAM [ ], GPU [ ].
Issue:
In 25.4 and 25.4.1, dragging media into Essential Graphics media placeholders no longer works.
Expected behavior:
Dragging a file from Finder or the Project panel onto a placeholder should replace the media.
Actual behavior (25.4/25.4.1):
Drag-and-drop: Fails silently (ignored).
Replace from Finder (right-click → “Replace with Clip” / or using the file picker): ✅ Still works normally.
Steps to reproduce:
Open a project with a MOGRT that has a media placeholder.
Select the graphic in the timeline so the placeholder shows in Essential Graphics.
Drag a PNG, JPG, or MP4 from Finder or Project panel into the placeholder.
Nothing happens (in 25.4/25.4.1).
Roll back to ≤25.3 → drag-and-drop works normally.
Notes:
Regression introduced in 25.4.
Verified on multiple file types.
“Replace from Finder” dialog still works — so only drag-and-drop is broken.
Impact:
Breaks the fastest MOGRT workflow. Users are forced into slower file picker navigation instead of quick drag-and-drop.
