P: Premiere Pro v.25.4 'eats' memory

I think you misunderstand the roll-back options. It is always based on major version, not patch updates.

You can go back to 24.x if you want to. And certainly all 25.x builds.

@IanB_360 when you say that the current work around is to rollback to 25.4, that only works if Adobe doesn't also remove the ability to rollback to older versions.

"According to Adobe’s official Target release notes, the UI version toggle—allowing users to switch to older versions—was permanently disabled in phases between July 15 and July 30, 2025, with affected organizations no longer able to revert to previous versions except in rare, case-by-case exceptions".

Hello, I would like to mention that I discovered that MOGRT clips with animated titles were causing memory usage to skyrocket. Without them, the export was successful. I reverted to earlier versions of the software and everything worked correctly.

I have downgraded my premier pro to 25.0. Exports and rendering are working perfectly now.

I'm another user, you do understand that, right?

And I'm sorry you think anyone thinks you a guinea pig. I certainly don't. Since my other post, several days ago, a few other users have posted about memory issues. All any of us users can know at this time though is that it's a fairly small group, which at times majes it easier to suss out what is going on.

And I'm grateful to the users that have posted some awesome comments with tons of data. Posts like that are golden in troubleshooting.

Mr R Neil Haugen...

what do we look like to you (guinea pigs)....it was not difficult for me to install Pp v25.4 on 4 different systems, with all updates and the latest drivers... and these are...

Win 11 pro 24H2
Win 10 pro 22H2 for Worstation (Windows 10 2023 Update | Version 22H2)
Win 11 24H2 IOT Enterprise LTSC
Win 11 Pro 24H2 win for Worstation

And the v25.4 version behaves the same way...EATS MEMORY...no matter how much you have...

So yeah, it makes your engineers work harder...and finally, when you can pay so much to your programmers who make buggy Pp, you can also give me 3 months of free subscription, since I reveal your bugs to you, at least I was the first to discover that version 25.4 is eating memory and I'm not alone in that trouble...

I am not alone.....

OMG! I'm having the exact same issue. I thought initially my PC was acting up. Until I started working on my laptop and the same Sh*T kept happening. Paying a lot for a subscription and they give us this damn shitshow. Rolling back to the previous version

Hi guys,

So recently ive been trying to export an hour long video, and have had the same error but at different time codes come up.

Following the: error compiling movie, Frame creation error, Bad allocation while creating disk aligned video,

another error sometimes pops up, adobe is running very low on system memory.

I think ive tried almost every potential fix i could find:

- Changed virtual memory size

- New sequence method

- Exporting in 5 minute exports

- Exported entire 4k video and then added graphics later to lessen the memory use

- Restart 

- Uninstall

- Software encode & Hardware encode

In case you were wondering i also have high specs 

32 gb ram 

RTX 4070

Intel core i9

Would love some help on this as now it seems to affect all my projects.

More information to note

- i see my ram usage percentage end up hovering around 90-96% in task manager.

- Allocated 24gbs fro adobe to use have even tried higher and lower

Oh, and you're exporting into a folder too, and not the drive root?
