Bug Reports

For now ive noticed these ones - One word captions dont work. - Selecting clips along captions sometimes dont work - Working with captions in general is kind of buggy. - Linking proxies makes me go one by one even if automatic relinking is on. - Sometimes the transform settings in some clips are not visible and not accesible.

Immediately after updating to Premiere Pro v26.3.2, a large project now exhibits intermittent playback freezing and "Media Pending" states on specific clips during timeline playback. I reproduced the same issue in a test project, ruling out file corruption, cache, disk space, and missing assets as causes.  Here are the issues:During timeline playback, playback freezes partway through the sequence. Audio continues playing while video freezes and the playhead stops advancing. Scrubbing through the timeline after a freeze shows no video image. Affected clips intermittently display a "Media Pending" placeholder instead of video. The "Media Pending" state is not consistent per clip. Two separate clips from the same source media display differently.  One works fine, the other says "Media Pending".   Text layers and video clips that displayed correctly at one playhead position disappeared (reverting to Media Pending) when the playhead was moved back by a single frame.  See attached screensho

I’m trying to use the frame.io window to upload my sequence to the frame.io website.I can click export and then select my export settings, but then nothing happens.  The window just goes back to the export sequence button, and nothing is uploaded.   

Premiere was working fine yesterday. Today when I try and open it, I get the following error message: “Adobe Premiere Pro 2026” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin. Working on a big TV project! PLEASE HELP!

I’ve been cutting the same project for 6 months, no problems. Then with horrible timing this GPU update got pushed through just the week I’m delivering the project and I’m having so many problems this is absolutely maddening. I’m on an intel imac with a ton of ram but things are now freezing and even though I can move the mouse around all functionality in PP stops, I can’t even hit play. I’ve been struggling through it with multiple restarts but the last straw was then some footage has gone haywire. Nothing has changed at the metadata level but half of it is weirdly stretched and sized out of frame and the rest looks like this. It’s still solid at the finder level so I don’t know how to fix it for my offline playouts and the mix is tomorrow. This is appalling. I’ve tried new sequences, restarts, unlinking and relinking. Honestly I’m back on avid next project, I can’t believe this update got pushed through  

Premiere Pro is actively costing my business money. This is unacceptable.I am writing this after yet another completely destroyed work session.In the last 35 minutes alone, Premiere froze around 12 times.I work for roughly 40 seconds, then the application freezes for 40–60 seconds. Then I work again. Then it freezes again.And no, this is not limited to one specific panel or one specific action.It happens throughout normal editing.The Properties panel is one of the areas where it happens frequently, but it is absolutely not the only one. Premiere simply keeps freezing during regular professional work.This is not “slightly poor performance.”This is not an occasional crash.The software is currently becoming unusable for professional work.I run a business.I have clients waiting for deliverables.Clients are calling, pushing, asking why things are delayed, and complaining because work is not being delivered at the pace it should be.I have already been forced to work through the night trying

When I had full screen JPG or PNG files in a 4k resolution timeline, the app would read the photos maybe once, but then lock up.  It would not pull up the file in the timeline viewer or the source window.  Motion video works just fine.  But still images continued to cause major issues.  I eventually had to take these very basic visuals into After Effects to render as QTs, and import those into PP.  But doing this on an ongoing basis is nonsustainable. On MacBook Pro, M4 Max, 64 GB RAM, Sequoia 15.3.1

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!

The following Object mask issues make its use rather complicated:Object Mask + timeremapping: when used together without nesting, the mask is tracked at a normal speed, lagging behind or going further from the tracked object:Applying the object mask and THEN timeremapping brings a visual glitch during the remapped part: This visual glitch remains even if after the timeremapping you nest it and then track and apply the mask. RateStretch + render and replace - object moves inside the cutout, though without rendering the mask is perfect: Reversed time and object mask freezes the mask when rendered and replaced: Transform + Object mask - object moves inside the cutout (I don’t need to mention that motion blur is available only in the Transform effect). Only nesting helps but in some cases to apply certain effects you have to nest the nest inside the nest which totally ruins the workflow: The same happens with any other transform effect. But at the same time transitions work alright, affect

After the latest Premiere Pro update, the software stopped working properly. When I edit photos in my timeline, the Program Monitor shows a black screen whenever the video is paused. The photos are only visible when I press the Play button and the video is playing.More importantly, when I export the project, the photos are also exported as black screens. Only the video footage and audio are exported correctly; the photos are completely missing from the final export.I have already uninstalled all versions of Premiere Pro through Creative Cloud and reinstalled them, but the problem still persists.I have also updated my graphics card driver and tried uninstalling Premiere Pro several times and installing older versions, but the same problem occurs in every version I have tested.The project opened and worked correctly once at first. However, the issue occurred after I changed the sequence settings/dimensions.

Detailed Bug ReportSystem Environment: Device: HP OMEN 16-ah0xxx (2026 Model) CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (Arrow Lake Architecture) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU (16GB VRAM) RAM: 64GB DDR5 (5600MHz) OS: Windows 11 Home Single Language (Build 26200.8246) Display Setup: Internal 165Hz display + External ASUS VG27AQL1A via HDMI (1440p @ 144Hz) The Issue: In Premiere Pro v26.2, clicking or hovering over any item on the top menu bar (File, Edit, Clip, Sequence, etc.) causes a significant UI hang/freeze lasting 2 to 5 seconds. This issue is most severe when an external high-refresh-rate monitor is connected.Observations & Technical Data: Monitoring via Task Manager shows that during the menu click, GPU 0 (Intel Integrated Graphics) spikes to 40-50% utilization, while GPU 1 (RTX 5080) remains at 1-2%. It appears that the UI rendering thread is being incorrectly routed through the iGPU instead of the dGPU, creating a bottleneck on the new Intel Ultra 9 architecture.

App Version: Premiere Pro 26.2.0 and 26.2.2 (issue present in both, including the current Beta build) Issue Category: Performance / UI Responsiveness OS: [Windows 11 Pro 24H2 / macOS version] CPU: [your CPU] GPU: [your GPU + driver version] RAM: [your RAM]Problem Description: After updating to 26.2, the UI freezes or hangs on nearly every mouse interaction — opening top menus, clicking panels, scaling clips, and using the text/captions tools. Each freeze lasts from a few seconds up to several minutes ("Not Responding"). Timeline playback itself is relatively smooth; the issue is specifically UI responsiveness. The problem occurs in existing projects AND brand-new empty projects, so it is not project-related.26.2.2 was supposed to address this, but the freezing persists with only minor improvement. The current Beta build shows the same behavior.Troubleshooting already performed (no fix):Reset preferences (Alt on launch) Cleared media cache and relocated to NVMe Clean GPU driver reinstal

When using object masks in a regular sequence in Premiere, the effect does not render when exporting the sequence via Media Encoder. I do not receive a warning or pop-up and can only deduce this is the case after reviewing the exported file. Object masks should render via Media Encoder and until they do the user should be prompted with a more visible warning that they will not render if using Media Encoder. Using Premiere 26.3.0 (Build 93) and Media Encoder 26.0.2 (Build 2) on M3 Ultra Mac Studio, MacOS 26.5.1. 

I use a macbook pro, with an apple m4 chip and 48gb of memory. I use Premiere Pro 26.3.0I’ve been editing on a macbook for nearly 7 years and have only recently run into this issue. It seems to be a hardware problem being that the trackpad works perfects on every other function within the computer and online.Essentially my trackpad will not work on the timeline after a certain amount of time working, usually 20-25 minutes. Clips will not drag, cannot edit clip times without using keyboard commands, cannot select clips, cannot zoom/move the bar on the timeline either.Very frustrating and makes editing a nightmare

After my project was finished a month ago I exported it via the Project Manager in Premiere and then uploaded it into a cloud. Today I needed to review something from this project, so I downloaded it back and upon opening it saw this:It’s strange because there IS a masks data folder in the archive, but if I point Premiere to this folder, it does not relink the masks saying they can’t be located:How come and how can I fix it? I’ve got quite a bunch of object masks in the project to retrack everything again. Besides, the project was made in the same exact version of Premiere - 26.2.2 so there cannot be any mask data conflicts.

I’m experiencing an error in Premiere Pro that I can’t seem to resolve, despite trying all the recommended solutions I found on Google and YouTube. I believe it might be related to the new Premiere Pro 2025 update. The issue occurs when I try to create a project from the Project Manager to share with my team. I even tried rolling back to the 2024 version, but the same error persists. I also tested this project on a different device, but the error still comes up.   I've attached screenshots below from both versions.     P.S. I’ve already tried clearing the media cache, but the error keeps appearing.

I placed the Type Tool Cursor on the program monitor and the cursor disappeared, but I typed some text anyhow.  Grabbed my Select tool to click on the text and there was no Boundary Box (or whatever its called).  Figured something was wacky, so I “toured” the Premier layout, clicking this ‘n that. Finally found the culprit: The Rulers selection on the program monitor.  If Rulers are ON, the vanishing act takes place.  OFF, the Type Tool cursor and boundary box return.  I’ve attached a couple of screen captures showing before and after. Btw, that Rulers Icon looks a bit funky when OFF.

The timeline cursor is completely out of sync with playback - not just lagging behind, it's acting completely independently. It moves when playback is paused, it stays static when playing, basically moving at random. Making any changes causes the app to hang. Literally cannot edit. Playback is poor too, it takes about 5 seconds from pressing play to getting playback, even though everything is fully rendered. Resizing the timeline also causes severe lag.  AMD 50504070 GPU128gb RAM

In the latest version 26.3.2 the same problems as with version 26.3...everything new, latest drivers, fresh system and the same problems....relinking files too long... the same error appears again with the HEVC codec... which we solved in the previous post... BUT WHY DOES THE ERROR (HEVC) APPEAR AGAIN IN THE LAST ITERATION.....while the relinking is going on, the processor goes to 80% and when the dashboard shows that all the files are loaded... the timeline cannot be started for another 15 minutes because Pp is loading "something else" and during all that time the processor is at 70.80%...please solve it....here is the link with all these problems from the previous post from v26.3...all my data and configuration are there.…HEVC codec missing Pp 26.3 - WIN11 ???best regards

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
