I am not asking for AV1 to replace intraframe editing codecs, but basic decode/import support is long overdue and would immediately improve real-world workflows for a large portion of your user base.

Please prioritize adding native AV1 support to Premiere Pro. It is a modern standard, and its absence in 2026 is increasingly difficult to justify.

WebMiere is a free, open-source native importer for Adobe Premiere Pro 26.x on Windows/NVIDIA.
It directly imports supported AV1 Main or VP9 WebM/MKV files with Opus audio, without transcoding or remuxing.

Literally 8 years after AV1’s release, it’s still 100% free to license, and still nowhere to be found in Adobe software…. not even on the decoding end. Absolutely insane.
