Bug Reports

If I customize my workspace/window layout, it takes 3-5 minutes for the Export window to open when I go to File/Export Media.  However, there is no issue if I use one of the default Workspace layouts.  I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 version 25.3.0 (Build 84)...why is that?Sree

I'm putting together an editing demo reel, and I noticed the color was off for some RED/R3D 6K footage when rendering it for smoother playback. Long story short, when I render the R3D footage within the timeline or export it using Quicktime Prores 422 HQ (or 4444 or 4444 XQ), the grade looks much more contrasty, with blown-out whites and crushed blacks (see attached screenshots for example, including scopes). Prores 422 vanilla and 422 LT are both rendering the grade correctly. No other types of footage in the timeline exhibit this problem when rendered, including Fuji X-T3 4K LOG mov, H.264 mp4, older Prores 422 HQ mov exports of this same R3D footage, etc. I have hunted down numerous settings and tested them, and none of them seem to be the culprits (see below for details). It looks like a new problem with the codecs themselves, at least when it comes to R3D footage. Prores 422 HQ has always been my go-to for archival copies of my work, and I've used it numerous times over the years

Subject: Ripple Trim Leaves a One-Frame Gap Between ClipsHello,I’m experiencing an issue with Ripple Trim in Premiere Pro.When I ripple trim a clip, Premiere leaves a one-frame gap between the trimmed clip and the next clip. This creates a brief black frame in the timeline instead of closing the gap completely.Ripple Trim is supposed to automatically close the space created by trimming. However, I still have to manually remove the remaining one-frame gap, which is especially frustrating when working on fast-paced edits with many cuts.26.5.0macOS TahoeCould you please investigate this issue?Thank you. 

Premiere Pro v 26.5.0 build 99Mac Studio Ultra M1. SEQUOIA 15.7.9This problem began with the updating of Premiere Pro in early September 2026.Edits can be made to a layer but will arbitrarily revert upon altering the next parameter.  Saving, restarting, locking layers does nothing. This issue makes the type tool virtually impossible to use. Please fix now.

Selecting a caption and clicking the Split Caption button in the Text > Captions pane is often causing me to get a third copy of the caption get added at the end of split one (now two). It's often very small in the track and only found by seeing it in the Text > Captions list. I'm not sure of any other correlates to this weird behaviour.   Version 24.5.0 for Win 11.

I’m getting “Error Code: 1609891835 - Premiere Pro could not start audio playback” on specific timelines after downgrading a project from v26 to v25.5.Here’s what I’ve done so far: Deleted all media cache files from Premiere and ~/Library/Cache Changed playback device to Adobe SRT in Preferences Tried different sequence settings (ProRes, H.264) Reinstalled audio drivers The issue only happens on sequences edited in v26, even after downgrading. Video plays, but audio fails with the error above.System:macOS Sequoia 15.3.2MacBook Pro M3 Max, 48GB RAMPremiere Pro 25.5Any help troubleshooting this would be great—I’m unable to edit my recent work.

Hello Adobe Team,I am facing an issue in Adobe Premiere Pro.I work with multiple sequences in a single project. I keep many sequence tabs open in the Timeline panel. However, after saving the project, closing Premiere Pro, and reopening the project, the Timeline does not restore all the previously opened sequence tabs. Sometimes only a few tabs are restored, and their order also changes.The sequences are still available in the Project panel, but I have to open them one by one again, which is very time-consuming.I would like Premiere Pro to remember and restore all open Timeline sequence tabs exactly as they were before the project was closed.This behavior started after updating Premiere Pro. Previously, all my open sequence tabs were restored correctly.Please investigate this issue. Thank you.

Premiere pro multicam issue where: if you toggle video track off and then exit that multicam sequence into the nested sequence which is taking the multicam from, even if you go back to the top level multicam and toggle it back on it still wont reflect that in editable sequence and it stays off. The only way around it is be restarting premiere and then its fine. It's a really frustrating bug that's been plaguing me for id say since 2018. It's been happening to me across multiple devices and versions.

Editing 4k videos from iphones, some clips are different specs than others. While editing this project, every time I scroll over a specific part of 2 of the clips, I’m immediately no longer able to scroll through my timeline or play video. In addition, after uploading certain videos the audio has uploaded but it will only play certain parts. No matter how many times I reupload the files that seem to be causing the issue, it persists. I’ve restarted premiere, restarted my computer, and started a new project entirely. Starting a new project helped with the audio issue but nothing else. I’m on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 and Premiere version 26.5.0 (Build 99)

In Premiere Pro 2025 (25.5), once a media file has had its audio peak file generated, Premiere reuses that existing peak file whenever the same media is imported into another project. This avoids unnecessary cache generation and significantly improves workflows that reuse the same media across multiple projects.In the latest Premiere (26.3), this behavior appears to be broken. Premiere regenerates the audio peak file every time the same media is imported into a new project, even when a valid peak file already exists in the Media Cache.As a result, identical media can end up with duplicate peak files, increasing cache generation time and slowing down workflows that frequently reuse the same assets.(While testing use a longer media file so that peak generation takes long enough to clearly observe whether Premiere is reusing or regenerating the cache.)Steps to Reproduce (Scenario 1 – Across Projects)Create a new project. Import a media file with audio. (or just a long audio) Wait for Prem

I’ve used Project manager in Premiere (currently in 26.2.2) for a couple of months already without an issue. Now I have this short but rather complicated project with tons of effects and overlays and when I’m trying to make an archive copy with it I get this:Of course I cleared the cache, reset the preferences, there’s ton of free space on my SSDs and I tried to save the archive with Project manager on each of them. Every time the process either stops at the beginning like this (an hour wait was in vain):or gives me this error I added above. I do not transcode or include previews or audio conforms, nothing, these are my settings:The calculation process does not start either.I also tried to duplicate the project and run it there, copy all the media to a new project (which I cannot use as a solution because I have audio mixer set up and the new project or sequence has none).The only one time I could export an archive from the Project manager was unchecking this setting:So I think Adobe s

I find myself correcting a significant number of spelling, grammar, word usage, capitalization and punctuation errors in transcripts before generating captions from them. It’s as if Adobe Premiere has a passing understanding of word recognition but no grasp of actual language: of the way that words and thoughts link together to make meaning. As a result, I have to essentially re-caption my videos before publishing them, which is an enormous waste of time. I spent 25 years in journalism, so I can make the edits quickly, but someone with a strong grasp of the English language really needs to give Premiere some better guidance on how to transcribe spoken, conversational English.

IssueIn a production shared by 4 different computers, all of them using shared storage, Premiere re-creates peak files constantly.After a lot of testing and investigation (of which I can provide details later on if useful), I have worked out that the problem occurs when one user of the production uses a project and saves it, then other users, when opening that project, will have to generate peak files again. Regardless of whether they had created them already or not. This occurs on every occasion, but with no consistency in how much of the material will be recreated; sometimes it’s the whole of the media in the project, sometimes it’s just a part of it.Only when one unique user is using the projects does the problem not occur, but as soon as a second user shares the projects, the issue returns. Additional ContextThe issue started when the project began, but as more footage was being added, it became quite evident. It occurs in all projects. I have also tested creating new productions,

On many of my projects, as of Premiere 26.2 and now on 26.3, I’m finding that Premiere is needing to recreate audio PEK files on every time a project is reopened. Example, I was working on this project file yesterday, all day. Closed it out, reopened it this morning, project is stalled while Premiere recreated PEK files.It is creating brand new PEK files in the standard MacOS media cache directory.Happens across several different projects, happens on both my Mac Studio and my MacBook Pro.Haven’t quite had a chance to do a heavily detailed test of what could be causing it, but from chatter I hear on the forums, Facebook, and Reddit, I believe this has something to do with the relinking/slow loading bug people have been reporting.

The PingFang Chinese font family is unable to display and render in the latest Premiere and Media Encoder 26.5. This bug had appeared back in 25.2, resolved since Premiere 26, but reappeared in 26.5. As it’s the same bug same as before, I hope the fix can be real soon as it’s a crucial font for Chinese users. The following link is referred to the previous issue reported for the PingFang Chinese font issue.  

Transcribed sources are inconsistent in newer versions than 26.0, and pause detection isn’t as “tight” as in 26.0I demonstrate pause detection and source transcribed in 26.0:I’ve now updated to version 26.2.2 and is demonstrating the same pause detection and removal process, using the transcribed version from 26.0:​​​​​​ In order to have the -same- video transcribed using 26.2.2, I’ve duplicated the source media with a different name, and it seems like the transcribed source is handled very different than in 26.0I also layer 26.2.2 transcribe above 26.0 source - so v1 and a1 is version 26.0, and v2 and a2 is version 26.2.2 When comparing the two versions, all versions after 26.0 is demonstrating inconsistencies in how they detect pauses when transcribing..

Show duplicate frame markers” feature either doesn't work or works incorrectly. When there are duplicates, the program doesn't detect them. When there are no duplicates, the program indicates that there are. Sometimes this option doesn't work at all, and I must restart the program.25.6.411 pro 25H2  

With “Show Guides” turned on in the Program Monitor, right-clicking a guide and choosing “Edit Guide...” opens the Edit Guide dialog. Modifying the Position value and clicking OK does not affect the guide. Likewise, changing the Units or Orientation doesn’t have any effect on the guide. Clicking the “Left” and “Right” radio buttons results in both buttons being selected (see screen shot). They act like checkboxes rather than radio buttons. The only parameter that appears to properly affect the selected guide is Color. 

I have this big project with numerous files and sequences, and the sequences that go to render comprise nest-blocks (green). They are all placed together with no gaps, below is an mp3 music file cut in the parts where nests meet so every nest is exported with the corresponding part of the music (yellow). So, I am to export these blocks individually one by one using in and out points. I double-checked it - the markers are placed exactly in the cuts between the blocks - i do it with X hotkey. But in the end the exported videos all have 1 frame with no sound while retaining the full video:So when the clips are brought back to Premiere and placed next to each other you can clearly hear this 1 frame with no sound.Why does it happen and how to correct it? I NEED A SOLUTION ASAP!All the nests were created inside the sequences out of groups of media on the timeline. There was no gaps, the sound met the ends of all the clips.  All nests and sequences are 25 fps. If I export the nests contents s

I'm not sure if I'm a complete noob of if Premiere is absolutely bugged. I've been trying to add new guides but no matter what I do, the settings can't be changed. I can't change from pixel to percent and I can't edit them. I can drag them around, but if I want precision that's off the table.I already:- reinstalled Premiere;- cleared cache;- deleted the 26.0 folder so that it creates new .xmls etc.Nothing works.Not exactly related to this issue, but I've been finding new bugs every time the program is updated apparently and can't never fix them. I also have a problem with the timeline playback auto-scrolling. Already changed to 'no scroll', but every time I pause to cut something ahead, it moves back to the playhead. Did all of the above; the bug persists since version 25.something. I'm honestly baffled that such simple yet extremely annoying bugs exist for so long. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Am I just doing something wrong? I'm not a professional video editor, but I've go

When exporting the location option is missing. I have tried everything that ai has suggested as well and worked on it for hours over multiple days.What initially worked was sending a video to youtube, etc and it would export but not with a normal media file. Media encoder always shows the error message and cannot even build a batch there.I have tried every version of premiere 26 on mac and pc. I have started new projects, new folders where I start from scratch, etc. This is preventing me from creating any new exports regardless of what I do.

My software keeps crashing repeatedly, which is affecting my workflow and preventing me from working properly. I’m also facing issues while exporting the video, as the export is not completing successfully. I’m trying to resolve the technical issues, but unfortunately, they are causing a delay in the work. I’ll share the final video as soon as the issue is resolved and the export is completed.

I've had this bug come up throughout numerous versions over the years. There's often no levels on the mix channel in the audio track mixer channel. Obviously I need to see my levels before export. 

Hello, I applied the Gaussian Blur effect on a video clip and used the pen tool to apply a mask around a number plate. I then hit the play button to track the mask as the car moves but the progress bar doesn't show any progress. When I select "Stop" I am then unable to select track again as all the buttons are greyed out. I'm using M1 Max so I don't think it is an isssue with memory. Thanks,
