Bug Reports

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

'Link media...' doesn't function the way it should when linking more than one clip at a time.  When I need to re-link the media for multiple clips in the same folder, I'll navigate to the correct folder, select the first clip and then Premiere takes over and rediscovers the rest. The problem is, Premiere starts looking for those clip names OUTSIDE the folder I've specified. The clips are IN the folder I've specified! But Premiere keeps looking elsewhere until it finds other clips on the harddrive with the same file name, albeit it in drastically different parts of the file directory, and then links them instead.   I've had similar problems in the past when bringing projects from one computer to another and allowing Premiere to discover the media. It looks outside the directory I pick the first clip from, and links to outside clips with the same file name (Sony's in-camera file-naming resets to zero after every 10,000 instances, so every year or so I end up with a new clip cal

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.

When ever I try to speed ramp anything (high res, low res) I get unusable playback and have to keep re-rendering ‘in to out’ every time i make an adjustment to the speed ramp.I feel like many years ago I found a work around for this bug but I am unable to find anyone with a similar issue now.There are so many consistent bugs in the software that I’ve never seen addressed in the last decade and it’s no wonder people are moving to alternative software.

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.

Using Premiere 25.1.0, build 73. (Mac Studio M1 Pro)  I have a 4k timeline, doing some Picture in Picture, with a presenter overtop their slides. I scaled the video to 50%. When I hit play, the video jumps to 100% size. When I try to move the position, the video jumps to 100% size. When playback stops, the video returns to it's smaller 50% size.  (On a whim I changed my playback resolution to 1/2, and the video stays the correct size. I changed ti to 1/4 and the video actually gets smaler when it plays.)

I’ve seen this issue on old posts with no correct answers   On a pretty big timeline (4k mutlicam, 3000 + cuts), all the clips on the left side of my cursor have unlink it self from their audioThere was no “unlink”  in the history panel My computer has 32 Go RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900H, 2600 MHz, 14 cœur(s), 20 processeur(s) logique(s) I was able to recover some links by copy-pasting clips from auto-saves by it’s time consuming  As i was typing this, the “right side” did the same (It was linked just before, and going back with the history does not relink it)   UPDATE : Going back to my timeline, as I tried to play it I got this error:  Then no problems to play and edit 

Issue – markers are not coming into Premiere through from Audition in version 25.3.0 but they do show in version Premiere 24 version. this has started happening just these last few days. Operating system – we are on Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise Its happening in all the new projects I’m creating.  If I create new markers in Premiere then these ‘stick’ my current fix is having to open premeire 24, not Premiere 25. then add markers in Premeier that line up with the audition markers, save this and then reopen premiere25 version to keep working on.
