P: 25.6.2 Missing Text Panel; Empty UXP Panels

Update 2, 12/13/25: See staff post indicating that this is fixed without updating the PR version:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/p-25-6-2-missing-text-panel-empty-uxp-panels/idc-p/15630125#M59800

 

To test, you only need to open the stock panel: Window -> New Adobe stock. It should load with content. If it does not, and hangs with the spinning circle frozen, post back here. The workarounds should still be working if you have any issues.

 

Update 12/3/25: This update is based on my tests as of this morning. This does not appear fixed by updating to 25.6.3. This bug report focused on workspaces and the text panel. The list of symptoms is longer. There is another long thread that focuses on failure of export commands:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/p-premiere-pro-won-t-export-ui-frozen-need-help/idi-p/15608051


Trigger: For some users, when the Adobe Stock panel is open, whether it is in focus or not, after 10-15 seconds, it fails to load and causes one or more of the symptoms identified. The Stock Panel is open by default in the Essentials, Learning, Editing, and Libraries workspaces, and perhaps others. Once the problem is triggered, you cannot recover without restarting PR. Reloading the project alone does not work.

 

Symptoms (Incomplete list):

  • The Export mode/dialogue window cannot be accessed using Ctrl+M; File -> Export -> Media; Quick Export; or clicking on the Export tab. File -> Export -> Send to media encoder still works.
  • Text panel is empty, shows as unchecked in the Window submenu.
  • Text panel is missing, shows as unchecked, and clicking it in the Window submenu does nothing.
  • Text panel transcript and captions become unresponsive.
  • “UXP Panel n” (where n is an increasing number as you change workspaces) appear instead of an actual panel (for me this has included the Text and the Adobe Stock panels).


Best Workaround:

  • The most effective and least limiting workaround is to avoid opening the stock panel by modifying your workspaces.
  • Set Window -> Workspace -> "Import Workspace from Projects" OFF. You can set it on, but then each project must be set up correctly.
  • Close the Adobe stock panel in any workspace you use. You can do this in PR even when the problems are present. Do not later use "reset to saved layout" unless you want to redo that process.
  • Or create custom workspaces once you close the stock panel.
  • Note that these workspace changes are in your preferences, so if you reset preferences you lose them.

 

Other Workarounds:

  • Resetting preferences, creating a new project, uninstalling/reinstalling 25.6.2, and other steps may result in PR “working,” but it may be because you have not loaded the Adobe Stock panel. As soon as you do, it fails.
  • Install PR 25.5.0. This works, but I believe it is not necessary to avoid this bug.
  • Open in the Captions and Graphics workspace and do not change workspace. This works because it does not open the stock panel, but it is unnecessarily limiting.

 

Original bug report 11/22/25:

When changing workspaces, the Text panel no longer appears; various empty panels show, e.g. "UXP Panel 3," "UXP Panel 4," etc. I do not see the problem in Beta 26.0.0.36.

 

I updated to 25.6.2 from 25.6.1. As always, when opening the first time, I reset preferences, cache, and plugin loading cache, and I created a new project. After seeing this problem, I restarted my PC and reset preferences, cache, and plugin loading cache, disabled third-party plugins, and created a new project. Same result. I then repeated that a third time to get more details. I confirmed I am in 25.6.2 Build 1.

 

"Import workspace" is off. I note that even with disabling plugins, 5 plugins are still available. I will explore that further.

 

PR opens in the Learning workspace. The Text panel is present, and is checked in the Window menu. I switched to the Captions and Graphics workspace, and the Text panel is still present, unlike each of the previous 2 times. I now switched to the Editing menu. In the panel group with the Project Panel, there is an empty panel "UXP Panel 3." There is no Text panel visible, and the Text panel is not checked in the Window menu. When I switch back to the Captions and Graphics workspace, the Text panel is not present, there is an empty panel "UXP Panel 4" in the Source monitor group, and the Text panel is not checked in the Window menu. (See screenshot.) I switched to the Learning workspace, the Text panel is not present, there is an empty panel "UXP Panel 5" in the Source monitor group, an empty panel "UXP Panel 6" in the Project Panel group, and the Text panel is not checked in the Window menu. 

 

I closed and reopened PR, and opened the last project. It was (as expected) in the Learning workspace, and the Text panel was present. I changed to Captions and Graphics, then Editing, then Captions and Graphics, and then Learning. The same problems occurred with the exact results.

 

PR 25.6.2 PR Beta 26.0.0.36.

    Hi all we are working on getting a fix released.

     

    In the meantime, you can make sure to close the Adobe Stock panel and save your workspace, then restart Premiere Pro. The issue can happen on some systems when the Stock panel is opened, and so doing the above should avoid it until we get a fix out.

      Hi!

      My collegues have the same problem, we can't open the Text panel at all, everything lags and stops working when clicking export and the mister horse Premiere Composer plug in is not working and gets stuck on loading.

       

      They've changed back to 25.5 that seems to be working now, no 26 version seemed to be working.

       

      We're all on Mac. Me and another collegue are on 25.6.2 and 25.6.3 and we have no issues, same devices. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Very confusing when no basic fixes seem to work.

      My text panel FINALLY showed up after i updated but quickly disappeared again to my deep despair. 
      What's going on with this? Isn't speech-to-text transcription one of the most basic features? This is obstructing work flow way too much. When will this be fixed?

      I can confirm, that on a FRESH computer build of OSX Tahoe 26.1 & Adobe Premiere Pro 25.6.3 (Build 2) BUGS such as unresponsive panels are present. I cannot recommend this build for School Computers labs; Students can’t be expected to trouble shoot the product or use work arounds.

        Apparently "close the Adobe Stock panel" is too confusing for our panicking users in the run up to Finals week, so I get to do the rollback. 😕😕

          Just updated to .3.  The issue is still there and a new issue has surfaced - the export module is no longer available.  BUT, there is a workaround for both. close the program and start a new project.  skip media import.  navigate to the export module.  then open your previous project.  all missing functionality - text and export - is now there.

          Sorry to hear it isn't fixed in 25.6.3.  I reverted to 25.6.1 and got it to work, but I later realized I needed to re-transcribe the text using UK English instead of US English (I don't think I was prompted the first time) but now the option to re-translate the text track was not to be found, so I'm fixing it by hand. At least editing works for me. I'll put off any more text transcription / captions for a while. Sigh. I suggest to Adobe that they run the entire set of function tests on the Text feature.

           

          (It says I'm new, above, but I've been here a long time but finally needed to report something. I'm still a fan.)

          I managed to find a working solution for my case.

           

          After opening on a fresh install. I went to the source panel. One of the tabs was empty with UXP4 on it. I just right clicked and closed panel. Then restarted the software. When I activated Text from the window menu it appeared.

          @tbaum42,

           

          It is a very frustating bug for those of us affected by it. I posted an update to this bug report just now (top of this thread). I have installed 25.6.3, and it is not fixed for me. I reset preferences and cache, and easily demonstrated the bug.

           

          Even though I am describing a single triggering event, I don't think they have pinned down the actual bug. So we shall see.

           

          At least one user reported the issue in 25.6.1; let us know what you see.

           

          Stan
