IssuePremiere Pro 2026 becomes non-exportable as soon as any mask (Object Mask or Pen Mask) with “Invert” enabled is used on an iPhone screen recording.After this, the project is effectively corrupted and unusable. Only a full rebuild in a new project temporarily resolves the issue.This makes the Mask tools unreliable and unusable in real production workflows.System InformationPremiere Pro: v26.0 (clean install) Media Encoder: v26.0 Previous Version: Premiere Pro v25.6 (no issues) Hardware: MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16 GB RAM OS: macOS Tahoe 26.2  Storage tested: Internal SSD, external SSD, HDD (no difference)Source MediaMain footage: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 (D-Log M, 29.97 fps)DJI FootageAdditional media: iPhone 16 Pro screen recording (MP4, 59,94 fps, HEVC)iPhone FootageExpected ResultNormal export of an HD / 2K / 4K MP4 fileActual ResultExport stalls after audio encoding at 0%Premiere Export failureMedia Encoder works only after a fresh start, if Media Encoder is already opend it’s suck at 0% p

I’ve just tried to apply the ex-FilmImpact video effect Compound blur on a stock footage and I get insanely slow performance with it in Premiere 26.0.1. So I went to Pr 25.6.4 and checked it there and there the effect works in real time.Steps to reproduce:Start Premiere Pro, create a project, add this file to the timeline (to create a file-based sequence): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Iv7JTDJmq2aum7is0jWlxBU8evZh9jO_/view?usp=sharing Drop the Compound blur effect and press play.The playback won’t work at all or your footage will be played at 1-2 fps.Here’s a demo: 

Hi, I’d like to report an issue related to a simultaneous work of Google Chrome and Premiere Pro I’ve had of late.Of course I understand that it might be a Google problem so I should report to Google but I actually did and Google seems to ignore it, because I sent several reports and wrote to their support forum half a year ago and they are dumb.The problem I have is as follows. When exporting from Premiere Pro ( 25.6.4 in particular), should I start watching a video on ANY site except for Youtube (i.e. having a web player different from youtube one), the export in Premiere Pro stops. It does not freeze Premiere Pro - I can close the export window, go to any tab, and another export will start alright until I play back a video again on any site. During this export halt my CPU, iGPU and dGPU load is reduced to 0 (well, obviously the CPU still has some load, but it’s minimal, like 4-5%).I know that Google uses some video rendering pipeline of their own in Chrome (ANGLE + DXVA / D3D11) and

Hi everyone,I’m dealing with a critical issue in Premiere Pro that completely blocks my editing workflow.Problem:Clips from my Sony A6700 (MP4) randomly show a frozen frame in the timeline, while audio continues normally. The playback is unusable.Details:• Camera: Sony A6700• Format: MP4 (XAVC S / XAVC HS)• Freeze frame occurs during playback in timeline• Audio plays fine, video is stuck or updates inconsistentlyImportant observations:• The issue persists even when using proxies (ProRes Proxy)• Exported video is completely fine → this seems to be playback-only• If I re-encode the source file and use “Replace Footage”, the clip in timeline turns black (no video at all, audio remains)What makes this worse:• This started in the middle of editing a large project• Replace Footage doesn’t work → I can’t relink properly• I basically can’t continue editingWhat I’ve tried:• Clearing media cache• Restarting Premiere• Re-importing files• Using proxies (ProRes Proxy)• Updating Premiere and systemA

So I'm going to preface this by saying that I do multi track editing in a weird way; I layer all the video files, and then cut down through the layers to show different camera angles. On a project I'm currently working on I have an .mts file as the bottom layer (avchd), and 3 mp4 files above that. Recently Premiere pro has started exhibiting strange behaviour when playing back the long mts / avchd file. If I make a cut or make any change to the mts video file, premiere hangs and appears to be reindexing the video file. During this time the play button doesn't work - and worse, if playback is mid progress, I'm then unable to stop playback until it's finished reindexing the file. This slow down results in very lengthy edit times. This wasn't a problem until one of the more recent updates. Using disk management, you can see premiere pro maxing out the USB hard drive's transfer speed trying to re-read the entire video file which I'm trying to work on. Toggling visibility on the layer

Every time I select an audio track that has a compressor on it the panel to edit that effect pops up and covers the timeline.  Records indicate that at one point there was a setting to disable this annoying nuisance but now according to interenet searches that is no longer possible and I appear to be stuck with this workflow blocker.  Can you help?  If not please fix this bug.  I can either click on the track with a cursor or if I highlight the track attempting to move it, this occurs.

After updating to Adobe Premiere Pro 25.5, I encountered an issue with the film impact transitions. When I apply them to my videos, I sometimes get an error message that seems to be limited to the event section, while the video itself appears fine. The main problem is that the screen automatically goes black after the error appears. Restarting Premiere Pro only provides a temporary fix, as the same error and black screen issue reappear after a few hours. I have to completely shut down the software to resolve this problem, but the issue keeps recurring.

In my Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 there are constant unwanted random focus jumps from the Timeline to the Source monitor, and the Program monitor regularly shows a different clip than the one selected on the Timeline. I’m not using complicated edits with lots of layers, just basic editing.This has happened on Adobe Premiere Pro 2025, on different Macs, on a brand new computer, and always with the latest OS.I would appreciate a solution to this problem and to get this bug to be fixed as soon as possible.

Upgraded to 26.0.0 a few weeks ago.  And set up my Auto Save location at that time.  Finally had a lockup due to an issue I haven’t seen before, something about XMP Processing that spun for over 15 minutes while trying to export a short sequence.  I Ctl/Alt/Del to End Task, PP closed, and went to re-open from the Auto Save only to find that it has not EVER auto saved anything I’ve worked on since switching to ‘26.  

Issue – I've been working on a number of longer projects recently and I'm noticing that everytime I open the projects, the IN and OUT points that I had set on my sequences have randomly moved. Sometimes the IN point will be a few seconds later. Sometimes the OUT point will be a few seconds earlier. The duration of the jump is never the same each time.  Steps to reproduce – I have a slate at the start of all my sequences, which we use to make internal notes and caveats when providing WIPS to client. When reviewing internally, we don't need to use these, so I set an IN point on the sequence at the begining of the edit proper. And an OUT point on the final frame. These points do not move while we're working on the edit. I'll save the project for the day, and the next day when I open the project, one or both of these IN/OUT points has moved a few seconds and I'll have to re-set them.Expected result – IN/OUT points should not be moving unless I've moved th

I have been working on projects that contain a lot of edits and content. However, when I close the project and reopen it later, I find that all or most of my work has disappeared, and the project appears almost empty, even though it was previously saved with all changes.

Tried it on 2 computers. When UA 1176 is used in the track mixer, I'm not able to render a Clip with audio.turn audio off worked, render to a file sequence worked.Crashed when export Media from Premiere as well as export via Media Encoder.Took me a long time to nail that sucker down!Leave the 1176 in, but turn it off and do compression via the build in "dynamics" renders worked without problems.The funny thing is, the plugin does, who it should during editing, but render, it won't! bestMichael

When adding warp stabilizer to clips in premiere pro 25.1.0 it sometimes hallucinates black frames one frame after the start of the clip.  when I adjust the clip start to a different frame, the black frame still shows up.  This is pure junk

When I place text on the timeline and use the text animation transition, it works fine. However, when I add a shadow or stroke to the text, it disables the transition effect or disrupts the appearance of it.

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing a reproducible and project-specific issue with Adobe Premiere (latest version) on a MacBook Pro with Apple M2 Max running the latest macOS.**Setup**All project files and media (MXF and MP4) are stored on an external SSD, which I've been using this way for years without any issues.**What happens**The project works perfectly during a session – playback, rendering, everything functions normally. But after saving, closing Premiere, and reopening the project, the following symptoms appear:- The Program Monitor shows no video during playback- Audio plays correctly and the playhead moves- Scrubbing the timeline produces no image- The Source Monitor is also mostly black, occasionally showing a brief flash of image during playback before going black again- Behavior is inconsistent: image sometimes appears momentarily, or only at reduced playback resolution (e.g. 1/2)- Rendering either doesn't start at all or behaves unreliably- The issue affects all clips in the seq

Hi, I am a french user for Premiere, the auto corrector not seem to work at all with the new version.  

Were still having a lot of issues when exporting h.265 footage from DJI drones. First saw this issue in 2018, and I am still experiencing it in 2025. Often in an exported video, the h.265 drone shots will appear as a frozen still while the rest of the video is normal. This issue is fixed termporarily if I clear all my cache (Full clear with reset) and export again. This issue is still present since I first saw it in 2018, Its a bit ridiculous that we're still seeing this issue. I switched to h.264 on my drones in order to circumvent it, but 7 years later this bug still is not fixed. Premiere should be able to handle h.265 footage flawlessly by now. Adobe please fix this issue it has been going on for too too long. You cannot expect us to do a full wipe of our media cache at the start of every single session in order to circumvent this issue. 7 years, it has been 7 years, please do not let it go on to 8 years that we have to live with this.  Many forum posts offer home made fi

I'm not sure if this is technically a bug, but it is an issue that needs to be reported. Adobe Premiere's auto caption feature generated a slur in a short video of mine. The words spoken were "link up", and the caption generated is in the screenshot below. At no point in the sequence do the two speakers use the word. I think a more stringent review of the transcription feature's accuracy and sensitivity is called for.  

A while back I had several issues with clips not trimming properly during the Consolidate and Transcode process. I reached out to Adobe support and was given this fairly comprehensive list of when and why clips will fail. For some reason, this list is not posted publicly anywhere. I've copied it in it's entirely below. I've bolded several line items I feel are fairly important. There are now essential features in Premiere that I skip using (such as the Master Clip Effect layer) since it breaks the archive process.   These issues affect all versions of Premiere, including the current CC2017 version - 11.1.2 (22) Hopefully this will help some people with project management.   If any one of the 4 major video parameters (frame size, frame rate, fielding, PAR) do not match or are not supported by Preset/codec, then entire clip will copy. If the clip has multiple stereo channels of audio. These can only transcode to QuickTime, all other formats(e.g.: DNxHD) will fail and copy, sin

I have been having distorted black and white pixelation in my playback window and my source window. When I play the footage, it plays normally, but when I stop playback, it comes a black or white distorted image. I adjust the UI and it changes the distortion pattern and amount. I updated all of my OS setting, I updated my Premier Pro to the latest version and this persists. I reinstalled my OS and the issue persists. This has been happening since the last update. I have attatched my "about" settings and my premier version info.
