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

Title: Premiere Pro 2026 – Focusrite ASIO audio problem when using Mute/UnmuteHello Adobe Premiere Pro Team,I am experiencing a serious audio problem in Premiere Pro 2026 when using a Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 (3rd Gen) audio interface with the Focusrite ASIO driver.ProblemWhen I use Premiere Pro with the Focusrite ASIO driver, the audio works normally at first.However, when I mute an audio track using the M (Mute) button and then try to Unmute it, the audio/mute state becomes abnormal.Sometimes the Mute/Unmute state does not respond correctly, and sometimes the audio does not behave according to the Mute/Unmute button state. The problem can also affect playback after changing the Mute/Unmute or Solo/ISO state.The important point is that this does NOT appear to be a simple hardware problem.Testing already performedI tested the same Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen interface on two different PCs.The second PC has essentially the same configuration, but it is a separate computer.The same Focu

Description:When importing h.264 mp4 files that are from Xbox game bar capture or other h.264 mp4 files that are imported and the exported through Microsoft Clipchamp, it causes them to be stretched/distorted from square pixels to pixel aspect ratio of 1.778. In both the library and sequence they are distorted and and selecting modify clip> interpret foots shows that it is defaulting to pixel aspect ratio of 1.778. The senquence setting still show the correct resolution/aspect ratio and if you conform to square pixels it will correct the aspect ratio of the clip but the sequence video aspect ratio will still be stretched and since the sequence is still saying the correct aspect ratio one cannot simply correct the sequence ratio. Note this issue is not present in version 25.1.0 (build 73).Setps to reproduce:Launch Adobe Premiere Pro version 26.3.0 (build 93) Import an Xbox Game Bar capture video or Clipchamp exported video into project Drag video clip into sequence Right click on vid

I can select a person in the first frame, and the mask accurately follows the person's outline at that point. However, when I click the Play button in the Tracker panel to start tracking, the mask immediately loses its shape and becomes incorrect.The issue occurs as follows:The person is correctly selected and masked in the first frame. When tracking begins, the mask changes into a rectangular shape in the next frame. Starting from the third frame, the mask expands to cover the entire frame. Premiere Pro continues processing the entire clip and generates keyframes for every frame, but the mask remains incorrect and no longer follows the person.An "Initializing GPU" window also appears during th

Nothing is working!Please can someone assist?!

Title: Green Preview with Fujifilm X-T30 H.264 Footage on AMD GPU Issue: Fujifilm X-T30 H.264 MOV footage displays solid green frames in Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 when hardware-accelerated decoding is enabled. System: - OS: Windows 11 Pro- CPU: Intel Core i5-12400F- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB- RAM: 32GB- Drivers tested: AMD Adrenalin 26.10.1 and 26.7.1 Footage specifications:H.264 High Profile, 1920×1080, 50fps, approximately 102Mbps, 8-bit 4:2:0, full-range, MOV container. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable H.264 hardware-accelerated decoding in Premiere Preferences → Media.2. Restart Premiere.3. Import original Fujifilm X-T30 MOV footage.4. Play the footage in Source Monitor. Actual result: Solid green video frames. Expected result: Normal playback using GPU hardware decoding. Troubleshooting: - Disabling hardware decoding fixes the issue.- Remuxing MOV to MP4 does not help.- Changing color metadata to BT.709 does not help.- Both AMD driver versions exhibit the issue.- FFmpeg D3D11VA su

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….

I seem to be experiencing an issue rather intermittently with Premiere, where even though timeline scrolling is set to “No Scroll”, it will sometimes just… page scroll for no reason during playback. I haven’t personally been able to find a pattern or way to replicate this issue consistently but it has been driving me a little crazy for a while now. Doesn’t appear to be hardware dependent for me, happens on both my work and home machine.screen recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WTC7J5QxT-6nsRas-msLIdkoQDnJea5c/view?usp=sharingSystem from recording;Premiere 26.2.2Windows 11 24h2 | 26100.8246Nvidia Driver 610.47Ryzen 9 7900x96GB RamAll ssd’s

When I try to use the Masking tool it takes ages for the software to understand that I want to use it, it doesn't appear on the clip that I want to mask to begin with, after a while it does but I need to click on the tool button like 59240845 times before it does. It really decreases my workflow and it becomes extreamly annoying, why did you even move it from the effect controls to begin with? I've noticed more people having the same issue, so please fix it

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.

In Premiere Pro 26.5.0 (Build 99), values changed in the Effect Controls panel using the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys are not retained.I noticed this specifically with Audio > Volume > Level.Directly typing a numeric value works correctly.Dragging the value with the mouse also works correctly.Only values adjusted using the Up/Down arrow keys revert to their previous value.Steps to Reproduce:Select an audio clip. Open Effect Controls > Audio > Volume > Level. Click the numeric value. Change it using the keyboard Up/Down arrow keys. Press Enter or click elsewhere. Continue editing or play the sequence. The value eventually reverts to its previous value.Expected Result:The value changed using the Up/Down arrow keys should be retained.Actual Result:The value reverts to the previous value.Workarounds:Typing the value directly works. Dragging/scrubbing the value with the mouse works.Premiere Version:Premiere Pro 26.5.0 (Build 99)Operating System:Windows 11This started after upd

We're receiving reports of customers in Premiere v26.5 having glitching issues, such as green flashes, during playback and exports. The issue appears to be specific to media that is: Long GOP Recorded in the MXF container 10-bit 4:2:2 Recorded using a Canon camera, including the EOS R5 C, EOS C50, EOS C70, EOS C80, and EOS C400If you are having this issue with a file that doesn’t match this description, we are eager to hear from you. We are currently investigating with a top priority to fix this. For now, the temporary workaround is to roll back to v26.3.2. Apologies for any frustrations with this and appreciate your patience while we investigate.Thanks!Katie

Im on the most recent version as of October 2026. Source Patching is on, generate waveforms on import is on, Source Monitor shows a blank green rectangle, and I’ve cleared the cache multiple times and did several reinstalls.

I'm getting hundreds of these errors, and every time they happen the UI freezes for a second or two.   Not entirely sure what build I'm running but it's 25.0. Here is the extremely useful about box:     Any ideas? Thanks!    

The videos are approximately 15 seconds long and do not contain complex effects or large media files. The same issue occurs in two separate video projects.I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Exporting through Adobe Media Encoder Clearing the media cache Checking and changing the Content Credentials settings Restarting Adobe Premiere Pro Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue.Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue with Premiere Pro 2026 and provide a solution that will allow me to export my videos successfully?Thank you for your assistance.

Since version 26.3, I’ve been experiencing some strange playback issues. When I create a new project, everything runs smoothly, but the further I get with the work, the more performance drops making it impossible to work. I monitored performance using Task Manager and recorded the following datas during playback.version 26.2.2:- CPU 22%- GPU nvidia 50%- GPU intel 32%version 26.5.2 (initially): same performanceversion 26.5.2 (after a couple of hours):- CPU 97%- GPU nvidia 10%- GPU intel 15%Clearing the cache seems to work, but only temporarily. Another thing I’ve noticed is that the thumbnails very often reload when I switch between different timelines. I should point out that I often work on projects with a large number of clips (around 600), whereas lighter projects seem to run more smoothly.The files I use are MP4s recorded with a Sony a7s III using the HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 codec. I know they aren't ideal for editing but, up to version 26.2.2, Premiere can handles. I work on a MSI Creat

 Issue: Cutting and pasting multiple video effects no longer pastes them in the order they were copied. Steps to Reproduce: Select multiple video effects from one clip and paste them on another. Expected Result: I expect the pasted effects to be in the order they were in when copied. Actual Result: In the newest version they are in an unexpected order. Premiere Version: 26.5.2 build 5 Operating System: MacOS 27.0.1 Chip (Mac Only): M1 Max Project Size: Any size.I often use two instances of the Lumetri effect and the order in which they are applied matters, so copying them from one clip in a certain order, and then having them pasted in a different order is annoying. This was never an issue until I recently updated.I’ve always been very careful about this sort of thing in Ae, where the order you grab layers determines how they’ll be pasted, but that also doesn’t seem to be the case here.

When I click “Delete Audio Tracks,” nothing happens. The problem is with the last two updates to Premiere. It happens on both my desktop and my laptop. Version 26.5.2 and the previous version. Both computers are running the latest version of Windows 11 with the most recent updates as of now.The mouse works everywhere, too.)

keep gltiching and doesn’t let me transcribe. 

I've spent an hour searching through forums regarding this issue. It appears as though Adobe has decided that duplicate media isn't a big enough problem for their software engineers to solve. Instead, Adobe would rather spend time implementing AI and other features that lends themselves more towards marketing bylines than to fix long standing issues. I have tried every solution I have come across, and Premiere continues to import duplicate media when importing XML files. This is insanely frustrating and a massive waste of time. Plus, there's no way to consolidate the duplicates. The "Consolodate Duplicates" command does nothing. In all the advancements made to Premiere Pro, it somehow can't tell that two clips sourced from the exact same file in the exact same directory are, in fact, THE SAME. Davinci Resolve can do this. There are literally HUNDREDS of posts across many forums - both Adobe sponsored and not - asking for a solution to this issue. This post go back well over 1

Before this, on my previous laptop, I didn’t have this problem. I recently bought a new laptop: i7-14650HX, 64 GB RAM, RTX 5060, Windows 11, Premiere version 25.6.3.Now, no matter which project I open, the program starts Relink Media - whether it’s an old project, an old project where I already did the relink, saved it, and reopened it, or a new project - I create it, load files, close the project, do nothing, and then open it again after 10 seconds (the files are in their original locations) - and Premiere starts Relink Media again!Why does the program do this if the files are exactly where they were? This is extremely frustrating for projects with several terabytes of files, as I have to wait a long time every single time.
