Bug Reports

I am experiencing severe freezing issues with Adobe Premiere Pro 26.5.2 on my MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip and 24 GB of RAM, running macOS Golden Gate 27.01. The application frequently freezes and becomes almost completely unresponsive.Today, I downgraded to macOS Tahoe 26.7.1 and tested Adobe Premiere Pro 26.5.2 again, but the problem remains unchanged. Even when I simply move text around in a video project, make cuts, and press Play to preview the footage, Premiere Pro freezes.This issue is seriously affecting my workflow and making video editing extremely difficult. I would appreciate it if your team could investigate this issue and provide a fix as soon as possible.Thank you for your attention and support.

I assigned the “Q” key as a shortcut for "Reveal in Finder" for the selected item in the Project panel.However, when I rename an item in the Project panel and the name contains the letter Q, Premiere stops the renaming process at that letter and triggers the "Reveal in Finder" command instead.On top of that, "Reveal in Finder" doesn't work correctly either. It simply brings Finder to the foreground without opening any windows, and that's it.OS: MacOs 26.6.2 (25G83)Chip: Apple M3Premiere 26.5 Build 99

I created a Premiere project. I had to end up converting to a Team Project. Now that's happened, I keep getting metadata errors when I create new proxies within this Team Project. The error being “File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of “file name”. Reading and writing this file’s metadata (XMP) has been disabled.When I converted the project back to a normal project, the proxies created just fine! This has been an issue I’ve been dealing with for hours. 

As some may have experienced frames where camera flashes occurs may become glitchy whily using “Optical Flow” as time interpolation setting, I know this is a known issue and that using a different TI setting will solve it, the thing is I recently updated to V 26.5.2 (build 5) and ever since I’m no longer able to view those glitchy frames during playback but until the sequence is rendering, so it’s giving the impression that all flashes are not causing glitchy frames (and actually you can’t tell the optical flow is active during playback in the program monitor) never experienced this in previous versions, and it seems and actual issue not being able to detect those glitchy frames in the program monitor but until the files has been rendered.

When importing AAF files created by Media Composer some fail with a message that the file is invalid, however when opening [filename].AAF the error message is for [filename].pproj. It appears that the wrong parser is being invoked. This happens in Premiere Pro 25.x through to 2026.5.2. The current Beta version seems to be OK.

I am trying to crop the images and sometimes videos, just my usual workflow, but lately this bug show. Whenever I am cropping something, there are times like this one that it always goes back to previous version (uncropped) when I am clicking something.This is really frustrating as sometimes some cropped images are okay but when i am editing along the way, I reverts to uncropped version without my knowledge and I will just see it after rendering it.ps: i cant upload my screen recording.

Properties panel causes severe freezing on any interaction — 40+ second hangs, complete unresponsivenessPremiere Pro 26.2.2 (latest stable release as of May 2026) freezes severely whenever the Properties panel is used. The issue was also reproduced on the latest Premiere Pro 26 Beta — confirming this is not version-specific within the 26.x branch. Specific examples:Adding a simple text element and attempting to change color, border, or shadow: 40+ second freeze before any response Editing background color or text color: application becomes completely unresponsive, requires force-close Applying a simple mask to any element: full hang Editing an existing caption: application freezes for 30–60 seconds or indefinitelyThis is not occasional lag — every single interaction with the Properties panel triggers a freeze. The issue is consistent across all projects (new and existing), all sequence types, all source file formats (H.264, MP4, ProRes), and all timeline operations involving Properties

Bug Report: H.264 Export Fails on All Projects (Selector 9, Error Code 3)SummaryH.264 export fails consistently and immediately (within the first 1-2 seconds of encoding) on every project tested, including a brand-new project with a single random clip and no effects. QuickTime/ProRes export from the identical source completes successfully every time. This isolates the failure to the H.264 exporter component itself rather than any project, sequence, or media content.EnvironmentMac model/chip: Apple M2 macOS version: [fill in — Apple menu > About This Mac] Premiere Pro version/build: [fill in — Help > About Premiere Pro] After Effects version/build: [fill in, if relevant] GPU acceleration setting: Video Rendering and Playback renderer selector is grayed out/locked in Project Settings > General Storage involved: Local internal SSD (issue persists even with no external/network drives involved)Steps to ReproduceOpen Premiere Pro.

 Bug descriptionIn the latest version of Adobe Media Encoder 2026 on Windows 11, newly added export jobs appear in the queue in reverse order. For example, when I add a second job, it is placed above the first job instead of below it.The actual encoding order is also inconsistent. Sometimes Media Encoder processes the queue from the bottom upward.Manually dragging jobs into a different order does not reliably fix the problem. Media Encoder may still process them according to the order in which they were originally added rather than their visible position in the queue.Steps to reproduceOpen Adobe Media Encoder 2026. Add one export job to the queue. Add a second export job. Notice that the newer job may appear above the previous job. Add several more jobs and manually rearrange them. Start the queue. Observe that the jobs may encode from top to bottom, bottom to top, or according to their original insertion order rather than the visible queue order.Expected resultJobs should be added to

Pixel aspect ratio gets wrongly interpreted on some footage after 26.2 version, i don’t know what triggers but it happens. Please test it with Pr 2025 and Pr 2026 (after 26.2 because 26.0 doesn’t have this bug.) Pixel aspect ratio gets wrongly interpreted as 1.778 and footage looks streched. Premiere 2025 correctly interprets pixel aspect ratio as 1.0 and footage looks exactly how it’s playing on a media player. If you still want to make sure the problem is not the footage, also play the footage on your media player.I will provide the footage so you can test it yourself.Note: If we transcode footage into a prores 422 or h265. This bug doesn’t occur. So it’d be a good starting point to know it has to do with h264. I hope it helps identifying the bug! also i saw similar posts about pixel aspect ratio bug. Just you know that it’s not only spesific to this footage.System info    Application: Premiere v26.3    GPU: RTX 3060 Ti with Nvidia Studio Driver ver. 610.47    OS: Windows v10.0.26200

Let us permanently toggle “Direct Manipulation” off!!! This is an extremely annoying feature that PR does not remember if you once turn it off. Multiple times during a session and if not, on the next day, this damn switch toggles itself ON again and I want nothing to do with it! There is nothing more annoying than being in a session and or flow state, wanting to change something on a clip while playback is running and everything stops because of one click. I use PR every day and this was not a thing until recently. Keep the feature, fine. But don’t torture those of us who don’t want it and make PR at least remember our preferred “OFF” setting. Make it behave like Audio Scrubbing, make it behave like snap to timeline, make it an actual toggle and no dementia riddled mishap, please….

When I scrub through a video on a Full HD timeline for more than 15 seconds continuously, the Program Monitor and output screen go black. My system configuration is: i7-11700 processor, RTX 5060 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and an NVMe 2.0 SSD.

I’m on a MBP M2 Max using the latest version of PrP 26.5.2A number of times now I have exported my sequence using AME and the background video of a graphic/still has not rendered on export. Usually these backgrounds are duplicates of stills that are scaled up with a gaussian blur effect applied in order to provide background for a vertical picture or graphic (see attached pict). This was not happening in previous versions of Premiere.  

Good day,I am no longer able to use the default "ctrl+\" shortcut to toggle between show/hide program title bar in Windows after the 26.5 update.Please can someone assist?I have tried restarting the PC, changing the keyboard layout, searching for the setting in the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu as well as clearing the cache.. Nothing is working!Please can someone assist?!

Mouse click-and-drag randomly stops working in Premiere Pro and After Effects on MacI’m experiencing an intermittent click-and-drag bug in Premiere Pro and After Effects on my MacBook Pro M5.The problem started in Premiere Pro and recently began happening in After Effects as well. When I click and hold the left mouse button to drag something, the drag sometimes fails, requiring multiple attempts.This happens with timeline clips, playhead, timeline zoom, controls, and other drag operations.I tested the trackpad, two different mice, a wired mouse, and different USB ports, with the same result. Outside Adobe applications, everything works normally.When Premiere and After Effects are open together, the problem happens more frequently. Closing After Effects often makes Premiere work normally again.Both Adobe applications and macOS are fully updated.Please investigate this as a possible Adobe/macOS input or click-and-drag bug. It is significantly affecting my editing workflow.

Hi,Had a frustrating issue with Premiere this morning and thought it was worth reporting, as I eventually found a workaround.Yesterday afternoon I added a short voice recording made on my Pixel 10a using Google’s Recorder app. First time using it, so I hadn’t changed any settings. Everything seemed fine until I came back to the project this morning.One of the music tracks would play for a few seconds and then go silent. Pressing the spacebar to pause and play brought it back briefly, then it would disappear again. Eventually the whole sequence stopped playing or previewing.Strangely, I could still save the project, but trying to close it froze Premiere and I had to force-quit.I restarted the Mac a couple of times and reverted Premiere from 26.5.2 to 26.5.1, but the problem was still there.I used ChatGPT to help troubleshoot and read through the crash reports, which helped narrow the suspect down to the phone recording. I tried converting it in Media Encoder, but that froze too and need

Adobe Premiere 2026.2.2 (Build 3). I have been roundtripping (export > reimport) .mov ProRes exports from my timeline and noticed a contrast/gamma shift on my ProRes exports. Image is noticeably darker.Seems to only be affecting exports from .R3D source material.This is new and should NOT be happening.Funny thing is...this change only seems to occurs in 422 HQ, 4444, and 4444 XQ - not in 422.- Color Management is off.- Same exporting from Premiere or Media Encoder.------I’m pretty sure this has to do with exporting R3D footage to ProRes.Dynamic-linked clips to AE and exported. It does NOT have this problem.Ladies and Gentlemen - we have a Premiere Bug.***** I am at a full standstill right now and this is ruining my deliverables timeline. Someone - please help. *****

Hi everyone,I'm reposting this issue here, as it seems more relevant to Premiere Pro Desktop than Premiere Mobile.The issueWe're experiencing a persistent problem with the integration between Premiere Mobile and Premiere Pro Desktop.The "File > Import Premiere Mobile Project" option is completely greyed out and cannot be selected.This feature had been working correctly for several months, but suddenly stopped working around late September 2026, without any obvious changes to our setup.Projects are still successfully uploaded from Premiere Mobile to Creative Cloud. We can see and download both the projects and their associated media through the Creative Cloud website.However, in Premiere Pro Desktop, the import option itself is disabled. We cannot even open the window to browse or select mobile projects.This is not an issue with a particular project failing to import. The entire import functionality has become unavailable.Troubleshooting already performedWe've spent considerable time

As the title states. This morning after updating I was simply trying to cut a video file over top to stay at it’s preferred frame. Once I cut the layer at the preferred point I right clicked to Add Frame Hold, yet no matter what I did the frame would not hold. It would either create another cut and not frame hold, or it would do nothing and not frame hold. Other users in the past recommended right clicking and Clicking Ok once you click on Hold Frame Options, but that did not work as intended either. Obviously an easy work around is to just take a snapshot of the preferred layer at the preferred time and reimport it, but the frame hold saves me several clicks and is easier for project hand off.  

When working in my timeline when I try to click and drag a clip to either trim or move it or adjust speed in time remapping it doesn’t work. Basically anything that requires a dragging motion does not work. I am working in 26.5.2 and this has been an ongoing issue but it’s only gotten worse.

Issue: Object mask became extremely slow after update from 26.3.2 premiere Steps to Reproduce: Try object mask on every shot or image Expected Result: it should work like it worked in 26.3.2 Actual Result: It doesnt work or it works extremely slow Premiere Version: 26.5.2 Operating System: AMac Sequoia Or Sonoma Chip (Mac Only): M1 pro Video Format: all formats Project Size: It doesn’t matter It affects all projects and in began after update from 26.3.2 to 26.5.2
