26.2 had freezes. I upgraded to 26.2.2 as the promise was that the freezing problem was solved. (official mention on Updates). Instead, I can’t even hit the report button, without Premiere freezing. Since we have to maintain a proper language in messages, I will just say that it’s not only dissapointing but most importantly costing time and money having to once more revert to two versions before, in order to get the job done. Since 26.0.2 is perfectly working, but 26.2 and 26.2.2 freeze, it’s 100% proof that things are messed up in the two latest versions! I mention that so you don’t just ask what the problem is, i clearly stated it.
Beta v. 26.3 (tested 5 May 2026) also freezes the same way, even if you add a single clip. For example, I can’t even click on Sequence, it’s unresponsive. Whereas, if I create a new sequence with v. 26.0.2, none of these problems occur.
