Premiere (Beta)

Who was the genius who designed this disaster…? There’s way less precision for selecting exact values compared to Lumetri Color. One wrong mouse movement and you instantly lose the value you had before… it’s simply a disaster. And don’t even get me started on what happens if you organize your workspace for editing vertical videos. What the hell does it mean that the moment you start editing, you can’t even see your clip anymore? Someone explain that to me… Extremely disappointed.  

Audio meters sometimes just stop displaying the levels. Can’t tell if there’s a reason for why they go out and come back.

After a short period of making color adjustments in the color panel memory consumption quickly balloons to the point of causing macOS to have to suspend all programs.

"Apply Inverse Tone Mapping” was added with the beta release of color mode, and it solved my previous issues when adding text to a Wide Gamut project, in the last two updates from this week, this stopped working, tried it on older  projects, and making a new one with the same behaviour on either instance.  Fully white text looks gray. It's worse when trying to use a specific color. 

26.3.0 BETA (Build 44) contains this error: if a sequence contains a scaled MOGRT clip with Motion → Scale set to 50% or less, the Program Monitor preview scales incorrectly unless High Quality Playback is enabled.

Problem: In Color Mode the Comparison View icons remain visible even after switching it off. The Reference, Current, and the Swap Sides icons and text remain on screen. MacBook Pro 2021 15.4.1Pr Beta 26.5.0 (Build 9) 

All video playback is pixelated and blurry.  Playback setting are set to full and high quality playback is enabled. It looks this way in the color workspace and in the normal editing timeline. Export is clear and normal

None of the HUD scopes are clear enough to read. They all pop up pixelated. When adjusting the HUD options, the sample HUD looks normal.

Mask tracker will not track if clip has Color effects on it. It will drop keyframe on the current frame and not move. Rebooting and uninstall and reinstall Premiere Beta allows tracking but will crash when you click 'Stop' on tracker. This is repeatable even after reboot and uninstall+reinstall of Premiere

I have installed the beta version of your new Premiere Pro 2026 recently, where your audio remix tool is not working; it's behaving like a normal arrow tool. Can you please fix this issue, as it's causing me issues? 

I recently upgraded to Premiere Pro Beta 26.5. Instantly, I noticed I’m unable to play back the timeline/program monitor at full resolution. No matter what I select, it only plays at a low resolution. I’m not sure what resolution it is exactly, but I’m guessing it’s 1/8 based on what I’m seeing. It freaked me out because I thought there was something wrong with my footage , but when I checked the source it was fine. I reverted back to 26.3.0 BETA (Build 71) and it’s fine now. I’m wondering if anyone else sees this issue. I’m hesitant to upgrade until I know this has been fixed. I realize this is the risk in using the Beta version, but the normal version of Premiere has stopped opening - it crashes every time I try to open it - I think it is related to a plugin issue because it will start if plugins are disabled. Long story, short, I started using the Beta version almost exclusively becasue I’m not having the crashing issue.Apple M3 Max64GB RAMTahoe 26.5 

Steps to reproduce:Update to beta 26.5.07 Open a project that was last edited in the previous beta version Insert a graphic title  (lower third speaker ID) Copy the graphic clip on the the timeline (Select clip, ctl+c) Go to paste the graphic elsewhere, (ctl+v) but nothing happens. Select clip and go to menu>Edit. Discover that Copy is grayed out as an option. Experiment trying to find a way to copy. Nothing helps, not even copying from the Graphics panel. Discover that if I CUT the item and replace it, then I CAN paste it elsewhere And now copy/paste is working normally System info    Application: Premiere Pro (Beta) v26.5.0.7    OS: Windows v10.0.26200, RAM: 63.79 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 16

Almost every time I make a global adjustment in the new color panel, the video turns to black and the only way to fix it is to close the program and open it up again

I literally updated to the most recent beta today (I was using the previous Beta, so all STILL beta)I tracked and masked multiple items using the mask tool.  It worked great.  Newest update:  still masks people/items/things pretty well, but it won’t “track” them forwards and backwards.  It gets stuck in thinking (spinning) and never resolves.  The previous beta did this in seconds!

I’m on the newest beta, and an issue has arisen that didn’t exist yesterday on beta before the newest update:-when I apply an ellipse mask to a new clip adjustment in color mode (second clip adjustment for that clip) it crashed premiere. -I opened a previous save, saved as a new file, and then added the adjustment and saved. Now that file crashes upon opening (unusable)I’m on a Mac Studio with the newest Mac software, with plenty of ram and processingI’m on the newest beta update as of 8:56am EST May 19th 

Previous beta had no issue with “track select forwards and backwards”.  I used it today. Newest beta just spins and spins.  Here are my Mac specs:Mac StudioM2 Ultra128GbTahoe Version 26.3.1

After using the new Color Mode in Premiere beta, then replacing with an After Effect Composition (also beta), all color grading is lost. Maybe AE doesn’t recognize the color affects from PP yet in this beta version. But if this information doesn’t carry over, then the PP & AE workflow doesn’t work, which is a deal breaker. Unless I’m missing something, this seems like a huge oversight. Hopefully this is coming.  

To replicate, go to Color Mode, scroll down in the grid view, label a clip.The grid view will scroll to the top.

See this thread in the regular forum:  Users report transcription failure resulting in “No dialogue found” for files that appear to have dialogue and that work in earlier versions. Some users report this as early as 26.0.0. More users report this coinciding with upgrading to 26.2.2. I have wondered if some of the users with problems are using non-English installations or non-English files. I took special note of ​​@mattchristensen1’s post that raised the question of the large downloads involved in the extensive updates to transcription in 26.2.0. The user I link to reports that this also occurs in the Beta 26.3.0, build unspecified. I am posting this bug report for him, because I realized that the new forum makes posting a Beta bug report with the system information less straight-forward than previously. I believe the results reported are not in themselves diagnostic. Transcriptions may fail after starting for multiple reasons, and when they do, they often show no transcription and a N

System Information:Hardware: Apple Mac Studio OS: macOS Display: ASUS XG49V (Ultrawide 32:9 Aspect Ratio / Native Resolution 3840x1080) Application: Premiere Pro Beta (New Color Mode Workspace)Description of the Issue:While utilizing the brand-new Color Mode workspace, the real-time scope overlays (both the Transient HUD scopes that appear when dragging/holding the Color & Contrast dials, as well as the new permanent "Video Scopes" panel) are rendered with heavy, blocky pixelation. The pixel-precision is so low that the waveform information is entirely unreadable for fine color adjustments.Steps Taken to Troubleshoot (Unsuccessful):Verified that the Program Monitor playback and paused resolutions are explicitly set to "Full." (Note: Lowering the resolution selection to 1/2 or 1/4 results in no discernable difference in the monitor preview canvas quality, indicating a potential UI texture-buffer refresh mismatch). Enabled "High Quality Playback" via the Program Monitor settings. Att
