Premiere Pro 25.x Errors: Permission, Export & Audio Problems

Hello,

since the release of Premiere Pro 25.5, we have been experiencing several critical issues that severely impact our workflow:

1. Permission Error when opening projects, even though the projects have not been opened or moved in the meantime. Even after clearing the cache and deleting the .prin file to avoid this error, it still occurs when opening a project from the Start window. The project only opens successfully when accessed directly from the project folder.
2. Error Retrieving Frame suddenly occurs on media that previously worked without any problems. This forces a complete restart of the application and makes continued work impossible.
3. Export failures with an incorrect message stating that the drive is full, although there is sufficient space available.
4. Missing audio on export: Audio works during editing but disappears during export. Additionally, audio playback within Premiere stops working. For large exports, this is extremely frustrating because it’s unclear whether audio is included or not.
5. Multiple attempts required for export: It often takes several tries to successfully export a sequence, regardless of whether it is short or long.
6. Cache clearing does not always help: Even deleting cache files often fails to resolve issues. If clearing cache—which is supposed to improve project loading—only causes more problems, then these cache files become counterproductive.

These issues require frequent restarts and manual file cleanup, making efficient work—especially under time constraints—virtually impossible.

I am surprised that these problems have not been resolved in version 25.6.3. Could you please provide an update on the current status and expected timeline for a fix?

I manage over 30 workstations worldwide with rotating teams, and these recurring issues require constant intervention and explanation. Downgrading to an earlier version is not an option due to company IT policies.

A prompt solution would be greatly appreciated, as the current situation makes professional work extremely challenging.

Thank you for your support.
