Premiere Pro 26.2 UI lag and freezing, resolved by reverting to 26.0.1

Premiere Pro 26.2.0 (Build 65) has severe UI performance issues.

- UI becomes very slow even in a new project
- Changing font size causes noticeable lag or temporary freezing
- Menu operations are also slow and unresponsive
- Timeline playback itself is relatively smooth
- GPU acceleration (CUDA) is enabled and working correctly
- Media cache was cleared, but the issue persisted
- The issue occurs across multiple projects, including ones that previously worked fine

After reverting to Premiere Pro 26.0.1, all issues were resolved.

This strongly suggests a regression in UI or graphics-related performance introduced in version 26.2.


Premiere Pro 26.2.0（Build 65）で、UIの動作が著しく重くなる問題が発生しています。

・新規プロジェクトでもUI全体が重くなる
・フォントサイズ変更時にフリーズまたは大きな遅延が発生
・メニュー操作も含めて全体的に反応が鈍い
・タイムライン再生自体は比較的スムーズ
・GPUアクセラレーション（CUDA）は正常に動作
・メディアキャッシュ削除後も改善せず
・過去に問題なかったプロジェクトでも再現

Premiere Pro 26.0.1に戻したところ、すべての問題が解消しました。

26.2でUIまたはグラフィック処理に関するパフォーマンス低下が発生している可能性があります。

    Hi ​@一樹33758267b1gq ​@BradCooper20 ​@Avel384682290ts6 - Would you try installing Premiere beta version 26.3.0 build 51 or later and let us know if that helps your issue.

    I’m also coming across serious issues with 26.2. I don’t have the greatest performance specs but since the update I have seen a significant downturn in performance. 

    I tried to move the position of text in the properties panel and my PremPro kept freezing for minutes at a time, same thing happened when I clicked on the colour box to simply change the colour of the text. 

    Currently trying to install 26.0.2 (or 26.0.1), both versions get stuck at 54% download when trying to revert back to the old version. 

    I have tried numerous times and even force closed Creative Cloud and nothing is working. 

     

    Looks like my clients projects might be delayed 😳

    Update, able to roll back (finally) to 26.0.1, but won’t be going back to 26.2 until there are further updates.

    I have similar issue after the update. Opening the Sequence Settings now takes nearly 5 minutes. My computer has 64Gb memory, Nivida Quadro RTX 5000 with 16Gb. I’ve the following Logitech plugins installed: LogiPremierPro and the extensions: Film Impact Dashboard, Logi Options+ and LogiOptions Version 10.26.4.0

    Thanks for sharing your details.

    I was experiencing very similar behavior after the update, including severe UI slowdowns (for example, simple actions like adjusting shapes or opening menus would take several seconds or temporarily freeze).

    In my case, rolling back Premiere Pro from version 26.2 to 26.0.1 resolved the issue almost completely, and performance returned to normal.

    Given your hardware (which is more than sufficient), it’s very likely not a performance limitation but rather an issue introduced in the newer version.

    You might want to try downgrading via Creative Cloud to see if it improves your situation.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your comment.

    In my case, the issue was significantly improved by rolling back Premiere Pro from version 26.2 to 26.0.1.

    After downgrading, the UI lag and temporary freezes—especially when adjusting shapes, text, or using menus—were resolved, and editing became stable again.

    If you are experiencing similar behavior, I recommend trying an earlier version via Creative Cloud.

    Hope this helps.
