P: Nested sequence time remapping bug

I've submitted this bug several times now.  2 things: how do we know if adobe has acknowledged a bug? do they respond to let you know?

2nd thing, the bug itself:

 

take a nested sequence, insert it onto timeline.  Add another layer in the nested sequence, apply time remmapping.  Sequence will go black before it reaches the end of the sequence. This vid below demonstrates that it is not the normal behavior of a time remmapped clip.  Most of the time when I encounter this bug it is when the original footage is not the same res as the final sequnce.

I discovered another bug in Pr 26.0.2 which is worth giving attention to, and it’s connected with the use of time-remapping with nests.

I wanted to make a sequence of images gradually speeding up. A simple task when you put your images on the timeline, nest them and use a time-remap curve to speed it up:

In the example above I have 32 minutes of images5 seconds each. So I switched on the time-remapping graph and made this curve and it turns out in this scenario Premiere shows only half of the images:

Your normal reaction would be - ok, it sped up so much (it’s only a 500% speed curve) that the images just ended before the sequence ended, right? Well, first of all, when you pull up this speed up curve the sequence gets shorter accordingly. Second - I went inside the nest and trippled the amount of pictures there (the purple ones are the original quantity):

… and guess what, nothing changed - the images just go black at this timestamp:

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create a sequence, put the needed amount of images in it
  • Select all the images and nest them
  • Open the Time-remapping curve, place the marker somewhere at the beginning of the nest and drag the curve up to make it speed up. See the result.

Pr  26.0.2, 14700K, 4080, Win11 25h2, all drivers up to date.

bro it's still cut at a specific time (and hence trimming my clips) no matter how long black video I put in the nest..

When a bug isnt fixed after 8 years, the next workaround is switching to Davinci Resolve. It honestly is getting to the point where im about to switch over after being a long time Adobe user. Hardware Improves year by year, yet the software lags behind.

Premier pro beta 25.6.0 still has the bug 

New features! More bugs!  Worse performance!  Why am I still here?  I'm a adobe masochist

It's August 31st, 2025, and I'm still facing this bug.

 

My usual workaround is to create a black video and add it on V1 below everything else inside the nest, and then trim it way beyond the actual videos I need to remap.

Absolutely ridiculous that we as professionals still have to deal with this after being kept in a jail of repeatedly paying the overpriced subscription and then adobe steals more of our time just to try to find work arounds for their errors. Its absolutely ridiculous and will be migrating after this project. Seriously cant give a rats a$$ for adobe anymore

@jamieclarke Since your reply you now need to restart premiere in order to access software only rendering making one of the workarounds much more difficult.  Any progress?

3 months! 😂 This issue was open for 7 years before it was simply acknowledged. Come now Chris27119490qjvb, let's be realistic here.

It has now been 3 months since this reply - is there any update to this fix @jamieclarke ? Making things very difficult.
