I had no problems Friday- now today on Monday I can hardly use any command in Premiere Pro Beta without it is crashing. All my Adobe apps is up to date. Hope you can fix this issue, what ever is causing it.

Using a mask causes a crash.

Hey all!

 

Is anyone else experiencing Premiere Beta crashing this week? I've been using it because of the better masking tools and my projects have been totally fine up until yesterday. Now it's been randomly crashing and doesn't seem to be prompted by anything in particular, sometimes I'm just moving a clip or deleting a clip in a sequence.

 

I'm on a 2021 Macbook Pro and on Sequoia.

After I finish using the text tool within properties, as soon as I go to select the timeline, Premiere (Beta) crashes. Every single time.

Pr Pro Beta update 26.1.1 is still crashing wildly and the Creative Cloud App is hanging on updates at 45 or 46%, and hanging on update cancellation.

Updated Pr Pro Beta this morning and it's still crashing with every change made in the property panel of a graphic.

 

All other updates seem to be hanging at 45 or 46%, too.

 

What's going on Adobe?

We have verified a number of of crash cases, that were recently introduced, should now be addressed in 26.1.1 Beta build 028. Thank you again for all the reports.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro Beta on macOS. Whenever I try to copy any effect or parameter from the Effect Controls panel (Cmd + C), Premiere Pro immediately crashes and closes.

After the crash, Premiere sometimes shows a warning saying the project file might be corrupted. However, when I reopen the project, it opens normally and there are no issues with the media or timeline.

I tested this behavior in different projects, sequences, and clips, and the same crash occurs every time. The issue does not appear to be project- or file-specific and only happens when copying from the Effect Controls panel.

This issue is consistently reproducible and currently blocks my workflow.

Crashes once in a minute, unusable.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. But at the same time sharing the exact same struggles. It's crashing with any minor edits. even cutting clips and exporting it crashes every 5 minutes. 
I've since now downgraded to 26.1 and it has solved the issue of crashing.
However auto transcribing is broken and simply does not work. I've redownloaded 26.1.1, got my subs transcribed and then re-uninstalled and jumped right back in on 26.1.

Please Abobe fix this issue as soon as possible. I rely heavily on Premiere for my work.

thank you for this! I thought I was going crazy after optimizing everything and it's still crashing every other minute. The rollback to 26.1 is a life saver.
