Problem with Adobe Premiere Pro after updating to macOS Tahoe 26.0.1

Hello, I'm from Germany and I'm experiencing the well-known issue with Adobe Premiere Pro after updating to macOS Tahoe 26.0.1.
Unfortunately, it has been very difficult for me to find a satisfying answer, since the internet — and this forum as well — is full of similar problem reports and responses.
Of course, I have already sent a support request to both Apple and Adobe.
I’m a professional video editor, and at the moment I can’t work properly with Premiere because of this performance problem.
Has anyone found or knows a reliable solution to fix this annoying performance issue?
I’ve already tried everything I could find online, but nothing has helped so far.
Do we all have to switch to DaVinci Resolve now?

Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Dirk from Germany

 

Hallo, ich komme aus Deutschland und habe das bekannte Problem mit Adobe Premiere Pro und dem Update macOS Tahoe 26.0.1. Es ist für mich leider sehr mühsam, eine befriedigende Antwort zu finden, weil das Internet und auch dieses Forum hier voll von Problemmeldungen dieser Art und Antworten darauf ist. Ich habe natürlich auch schon eine Support-Anfrage an Apple und Adobe gesendet. Ich bin professioneller Anwender im Video-Schnitt und kann derzeit nicht Premiere arbeiten. Wer hat oder weiß eine Lösung, wie ich das nervige Performance Problem lösen kann? Hab bisher alles, was im Internet dazu zu finden war ausprobiert, nichts hat geholfen. Müssen wir alle auf Davinci Resolve umstellen? Danke für euer wertvolles Feedback! Dirk aus Deutschland.

    I think they have moved that under the new mask tool. So you first mask the object then apply the blur effect.

    I have the same issue. I can't even open Adobe Cloud after reinstalling the desktop app, and can't open and edit on Premier Pro. I called Adobe a couple weeks ago and they told me to talk to Apple. Apple told me it was Adobe's issue to fix.

    I have problems as well -- my computer automatically updated to OS 26.1 from 26.01 last night and now .MP4 files are not loading to the timeline from the bin.

     

    Were you able to solve the problem, Dirk?

    Hi @Dirk27683983b7w6 

    Welcome to the Premiere Pro Forum community. Thank you for taking the time to report a problem. It would help us if you could use the link here, How to Report a Problem, which has steps to provide more information that can help us identify the issue.

    If there is one particular type of issue, playback with ProRes Raw video, could you narrow it down to separate topics? I know how frustrating it can be when the new OS and your favorite editing software are not performing. The team is focused on solving any issues that are causing you problems. If you would like, we can schedule a call and give more support.
