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.

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.
