Bug Reports

The Track Mate Key plugin uses the alpha or luminance information of one clip to key or matte another clip in the same position in the timeline.In previous versions of PP the key clip’s position, size or rotation etc could be animated, and this would flow through to affect the matte for the other clip. The key clip could be trimmed and this had no bearing on the keyframes.Now in 2026.0.1 the Track Matte key plug-in does not recognise that the source clip has been trimmed and offsets the keys as if the clip is untrimmed. This shifts the values of the keyframes out of sync with the timeline, making keyframing the matte clip with Track Matte Key unusable. Please can this be fixed for the next PP update. Thanks, Tom  

 macOS (M2 Ultra). Same behavior observed on other systems as well.Adobe Premiere Pro (latest).Media: single 3840×1080 clip split into two 1920×1080 sources; also happens with two native 1920×1080 tracks.Codecs tested: H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 (AVC).IssuePremiere becomes progressively sluggish and starts stuttering badly when working with long clips (around 40 minutes). After a restart, playback is smooth for a few minutes, then the stutter and UI lag return. This makes editing unreliable and breaks focus.Steps to Reproduce:Create a sequence at 1920×1080.Import a ~40-minute clip (tested with 3840×1080 HEVC/H.264).Split the 3840×1080 clip into two 1920×1080 halves (or use two separate 1920×1080 tracks).Play, scrub, and make basic edits for several minutes.ExpectedConsistent, smooth playback and responsive UI throughout the session.ActualPlayback begins to stutter heavily after a few minutes.The entire application feels sluggish (laggy UI, delayed responses).Restarting Premiere tempor

Anytime I create a multicam sequence and try to color correct within the multicam sequence, after a few adjustments the lumetri window grays out and I cannot make any adjustments. If I embed the multicam sequence within a new sequence I can make adjustments all day long with no issues. But, again, when I go into the container that holds the clips, after a few adjustments I can no longer use lumetri. It grays out. Here is a video I made showing the issue. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/452t8md7stqtmc9e7wc6r/20260309_143620.mp4?rlkey=5ar6y395g1ois9kcpxh6uq3qh&st=j58revyu&dl=0This has been going on for at least six years.

relinking offline files has been causing my premiere 2025 (vers 25.6.4 Build 5) to lock up often and give me the spinning rainbow wheel.

Hello Adobe Premiere Pro users, I'm trying to make a change to the "Media Cache Management" settings in Premiere Pro's Preferences.  The option for "Automatically delete media cache files when cache exeeds:" is currently set to 92 GB. This seems a bit too high for me. I'd like to change this setting. When I change this setting, click Ok, exit Preferences, and then re-open Preferences, the setting has not saved. I have also tried re-starting Premiere Pro, but my new configuration has still not activated. My Premiere Pro app is up to date. Can anyone help? Many thanks,Ciaran

I'm using the automatic transcription tool available in Premiere Pro to edit my videos, but I've noticed that when I right-click on a filler in the transcript and select the "ignore this filler" option, the rest of the sentence in that transcribed block disappears – causing the rest of the transcript to be out of sync.Transcriptions are in Portuguese (BR), I´m using Premiere Pro 26.0.0 (Build 72)As an example, you have a quick screen recording I’ve done of the issue. As you can see, the whole sentence present on the 10:27:11 - 10:46:56 mark disappears after ignoring the filler. Closing the project and reopening it doesn’t fix it, nor does changing my workspace. I’m happy to provide any additional info if needed Thanks in advance.

I have two cases:either the sound is not imported AT ALL...( the video does contains the sound), like NO sound track… either the audio and video are not synchronized…I do NOTHING else that importing a video…My project was build up from the previous version of premier, I dupliacted it, removed the video and imported the news ones that I need…I am stuck with this issue since 2 weeks now...corresponding to the exact moment I installed the V.20.5.2my laptop is on windows 11 pro, V25H2processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) ultra5 135Utype of video : MP4 Video File, recorded with the tool “camera” of the computerI didn’t try in another project… it really happened strating from the conversion from my previous project to the new version of adobe (cf screenshot) (but again, I removed all the previous rushes and imported the new ones...) 

We are aware that customers who saved projects in Premiere v25.6.0 may find that those files now open only in v26 (beta) and cannot be opened in v25 versions. We know this is disruptive, and we’re working on a fix.    What you need to know:  Projects saved in v25.6.0 save in the v26 version format.  Because of this, they can’t be opened in earlier versions, including v25.6.1 (even though it is the current generally available release)  We’re developing a tool that will let you convert affected projects back to a v25-compatible file.     Our Solution  We’re building a small app that will convert a v25.6.0-saved project back to the v25 format. We’ll share more information, including availability and instructions, as soon as the tool is ready in the coming days.     We know that there is nothing more important than the reliability of a project file, so we’re working with urgency to get this downgrade tool in your hands

Trying to use text-based editing by loading a sequence into my Source panel so I can pick a choose sections from it in the text panel and insert them into the sequence I have loaded on my Program panel.First I load my sequence into the Source panel, them I open it in the timeline (pancake mode editing) and then when I go to the Text panel to select the portion of text I want to insert into the sequence I loaded in the source panel, the system automatically closes the sequence I had loaded in my source panel.

We have been using Premiere Pro 25.3 on Windows 11 (40gb RAM, 4gb graphics, Intel processor). Recently, when we save a project, Premiere will freeze after the save.  We have tried clearing cache and temp files, even rolling back to earlier versions of 25.x and it still does it.  One thing I did find is that if I roll back to the final version of 24.x it works fine.  Only issue is that we have a lot of files that have been completed or are in-process in 25.x and you can't open them in 24.  Our footage is being pulled from a network attached server that is connected via fiber in-house.  Luckily, the project will save before the freeze, but you have to use the task manager to close Premiere and re-open it to continue working.  I found a couple of posts from previous versions of Premiere with similar issues, but found no solution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve generated captions and now need to edit and reformat how some of them appear on screen.  Where I could click on the caption and previously select it to visually edit it in the program window - the editor is creating an error where it does not select the captions to where they can be visually edited.I can edit them in the text window, which is not visual or expedient for reframing and formatting needs. This appears to be a new bug presented in captions and caption editing

The Filter Bin Content and Find functions in the Project panel are not working. I do not get any results when I search words that appear in my files' markers, transcript, or description.

this is the 3rd time I've seen this issue in maybe a 2-3 year span (meaning each time issue resurfaces its a different mac os and different version of AE and premiere). if you look at the first picture thats what it looks like in AFter Effects. I rendered it out of after effects and brought it into premiere and it looked fine. and I'm on premiere 2025. Then I updated premiere today to 2025.1.0  and when I reopened premiere it had all this nasty blue outlines behind the text in my MOV. the last 2 times I had this happen, I re-rendered the text and it looked fine and then the minute you close out of the proejct and come back in, the issue is back. and can only be solved by re rendering a brand new MOV file and not closing out of premiere.

The folder Applications > Adobe Creative Cloud exists, but there is only one item in there - a link to Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud.  If I 'Show Original' on this link, I get the usual macOS message "the original item can't be found".   Searching my system does not reveal the app Creative Cloud, only an app I can't seem to open called Creative Cloud Content Manager. All my Adobe CC apps open and function as normal.   I know I didn't delete the CC app - I was looking for it to see if I could get the 2025.4.1 update, and I last used it to update to 2025.4 the day that was released  two week ago, but now I can't update, because the app no longer exists? macOS 15.6.1MacStudio M1 32Gb EDIT:  Just tried to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop app from a freshly downloaded installer, and macOS just tells me "Can't open the application Creative Cloud Installer because it is not responding"? EDIT2: Restarted my system and Creative Cloud Installe

I’m working in Premiere Production in v25.6.3. The “Make a Copy” function in the production panel is making copies of projects that have duplicate IDs. This is now how it worked in previous versions. I’m not sure what’s causing it, but without “Make a Copy” I haven’t found a way to make copies besides just making new projects from scratch and copying content from the old version to the new version. Make a copy is causing a lot of duplicate IDs. Thank you.

This is the first time I’ve seen this error, after which Premiere crashed. I was gonna show a guy how to create a choppy text effect, so the steps to reproduce are:Create project, 1080@25 sequence Place a text on the timeline, type anything Add a turbulence displace effect to the text layer, animate Evolution, change the size property Play it backI got this error twice out of 6 takes, so it’s hard to reproduce. But 2 times is a bad sign as well.There’s was nothing else in that project except the sequence and the text layer. The project was created on a fast SSD I work from. 14700K, 4080, NV Studio driver 591.74 (not gonna update to the current until NVidia fixes the fan problems the new driver is notorious for, and a bunch of reports from users prove the new driver is safe).

Hello! I'm running into a problem where after using the Auto Transcription feature in the Text window, my clips source timecode is "changed." I believe it to be a visual bug: For example, my audio clip's start TC is 10:34:34:00, yet after transcribing, it shows incorrectly as 13:13:16:06 in both the Media Start column of the project panel and in the Source panel. However, it shows correctly 10:34:34:00 when hovering over the same clip in a sequence. This happens in both Premiere v24.6.5 (Build 3) and in v25.2.3 (Build 4). Saving and closing the project fixes this visual bug in v24, but not in v25. I'm currently transcribing clips in v24, converting the project to v25 to have clips show the correct source TC in v25.

Hello! The latest version is PP , 26 , the one that added new masks.System - Windows 11 The problem is that playback mode is enabled on the second monitor, but it disappears every two minutes, then you need to go back to settings and turn it off and on again. But as I said, anyway, the playback turns off again after a couple of minutes. Please solve the problem! There was no such thing in the previous version.Also, if you can write your wishes here, I would like the masks for each individual effect to be returned to the effects management panel. It's very inconvenient to draw a mask and then drag it every time to match the effect you need.Sorry for my English, it's a translator.Thanks!

When I am editing text in the transcript window, everything is fine for a few minutes. I can edit text and make changes as normal. Then after a few minutes, it suddenly stops working. I can edit the text, but when I press ‘Return’, the text doesn’t change - it just reverts back. I have tried going back to the source file and editing the transcript there, but I have the same issue. I have to quit and restart Premiere, and then it allows me to make edits again, until a few minutes later when the issue repeats itself. I have tried cleaning the media database, but it doesn’t make any difference.I am using Premiere Pro 26.0.1 on a 2023 Mac Mini.Thanks

Issue – Some of my vídeo clips present the “saw pattern” on the image lines across Program/Preview and export Adobe Premiere Pro version – 26.0.1 Operating system – Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2 GPU driver version (Windows only) – Nvidia Studio Driver 591.74 Video format – 1920x1080, 59.94i fps, SpeedHQ Codec + ProRes Proxy Coded Comparative information helps us understand more about when the issue occurs:  First project that it’s happening. Worked fine so far, same worklflow for each one. It’s only showing specifically on the SpeedHQ Codec - files from a Vzrt Tricaster TC2. The ProRes Proxy Previews just fine. VLC and other players play the video files just fine. When they are imported to Premiere or Media encoder they start having this issues. Link for the vídeo after transcoding in Encoder - Same wobbly effect and “saw pattern” I get when on Program/preview or exporting in/from Premiere.  

Premiere’s search feature produces no results. It hides all the files and makes me believe I don’t have the file I imported earlier but it’s there. Doesn’t matter if I’m using the exact file name either. Doesn’t matter what type of project or why type of media. Even when I try using Premiere’s new search panel, it finds me a bunch of other things except the same file with the keyword I’m looking for.M1 Max Macbook ProSonoma 14.8.3
