Global crash in Premiere Pro (v26.5 / v26.0.2) & AE on macOS 27.2 Beta (Build 26B5086k) when importing media or dragging audio to timeline.

[System Environment]
- OS: macOS Golden Gate 27.2 Developer Beta (Build 26B5086k)
- Application: Premiere Pro (v26.5.1, v26.0.2) & After Effects 

[Issue Summary]
Premiere Pro and After Effects crash consistently on macOS 27.2 Beta 3 (Build 26B5086k).

[Steps to Reproduce]
1. Launch Premiere Pro on macOS 27.2 Beta (Build 26B5086k).
2. Drag any audio file or using object mask onto the Timeline / Project panel.
3. Premiere Pro crashes instantly within 1 second (Audio/Media import I/O crash).
4. Launching After Effects fails at startup with "<ae.blitpipe> HardwareBlitpipe" or LocalHub IPC validation deadlock.

[Attempted Troubleshooting]
- Cleared Media Cache and Reset Preferences (Option + Shift).
- Downgraded Premiere Pro to v26.0.2.
- Cleared and locked TeamProjectsLocalHub HTTPStorages cache.
- Launched AE in Safe Mode.
None of the above resolved the issue, confirming a systemic OS API/Metal driver breaking change in macOS 27.2 Beta 3.

      Mac OS 27.2 is out. Not beta. That fixed the problem

          My best recommendation... don't update until Adobe releases a patch or fixes this issue. Today I'm also having problems with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

            I had the same issue. Apple released os 27.2 today. I installed it, and premiere is fine so far :)

              Did you re-install or do something in your creative cloud/current installed adobe softwares too? or did you just update to 27.2 beta 2 and went straight to open premiere pro?

              Same issue here. Looks like Premiere is currently not compatible with the latest Mac OS Golden Gate release. Only fix is for Adobe to patch this. The workaround I’ve come up with is using an older maching with Tahoe installed on it to run premiere. Other than that, nothing seems to work.

                Same here: it's really frustrating. I can't run my project on macOS 27.2 Beta (26B5086k), so I'm now working on macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 on an older MacBook Pro M1 with 16 GB of RAM, which is a real hassle since my main machine is an M3 Max. I'm hoping this gets fixed soon, either by Apple or by Adobe. In my crash log, the crash happens inside Apple's CoreML (thread CML_SaliconSaliency), so it may be an OS regression. I've sent the crash logs to Adobe staff.

                I think it’s been patched. I just updated MAC OS again with the latest beta and it seems to be running smooth so far.

                Same problem in both Premiere Beta 27.0 and normal 26.5.1. App opens but crashes as soon as i try to drag something to the timeline. MacOS 27.2-beta (26B5086k)

                Same issue here on the same build (macOS 27.2 Beta, 26B5086k), MacBook Pro M3 Max.

                Both Premiere Pro (Beta) 26.5 and Premiere Pro (Beta) 27.0.0.49 close every time I create a sequence and drag 4K clips to the timeline. Resetting preferences and a clean reinstall of both didn't help. Downgrading Premiere doesn't help either, and I can't open my 27.0 project in 26.5 because Premiere blocks projects saved with a newer version.

                The Beta's crash log shows the crashed thread as CML_SaliconSaliency-20221010, aborting inside Apple's CoreML (MLModel compileModelAtURL). That would explain why the Premiere version doesn't matter.

                I filed a separate report with the full crash log.
                 I can DM the email I used for the crash reports.

                Did somebody get any solution yet?, I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work for Premiere.
                For After Effects I downgraded the version to 26.3 and It’s working fine

                I am also experiencing an issue where After Effects and Premiere crash in my environment.

                I would be more than happy to provide the crash logs if you need them to investigate.
