Questions

I just started a new project, imported some video and while I can play it, I cannot do anything else.  All the menu options are grayed out.  This includes when I right click the video and attempt to change the playback speed.  Any ideas? 

Playhead stops when I select a clip on the timeline and can't move unless I untoggle the audio and video tracks. It was working fine yesterday. Please, I need help ASAP. I’m using the latest version of Premiere Pro Beta 26.3(Don’t tell me to switch to a stable version of Premiere, because I use a lot the Object Mask Tool)

Hi there, I cant see my recent edit anywhere, I had done an upgrade but when I type in the edit names I get nothing on my entire computer. Any advice where I can look ?

Although I’ve been using Adobe Premiere for years, I believe this is my first time creating an account on the community forum.I’m reaching out regarding a terrible issue that Adobe hasn’t resolved, and it’s driving me insane day after day.It has become almost impossible to edit files from my Sony A7III camera (4K 4:2:2 10-bit) unless I create proxies.Alright, I’ve accepted the fact that for every bigger project I’ll need to generate proxies in order to edit smoothly.However, “CREATING PROXY JOBS” takes at least 10× longer than actually creating the proxies themselves.And this is driving me CRAZY!This was NOT a problem before!Some people on the forums say that Media Encoder scans all files in the folder and that it depends on the number of files — but I call that nonsense.I tested this with a folder containing only 10 short clips and the result is exactly the same.IS ADOBE PLANNING TO FIX THIS OR SHOULD I CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION???

While I’m editing on Premiere Pro, I noticed that the video plays whenever I change something in my Lumetri Color window, but only if I change those settings on the source clip. I have to stop the video every time I want to adjust the exposure, saturation, etc. The video won’t play if I use Lumetri Color when the video is in a sequence/on the timeline.Same thing happens when adjusting the In/Out markers on the source window timeline.I could easily clip the footage and edit in the timeline instead, but editing the source clip makes it so I don’t need to reapply color correction to a clip from the same video every time.Any suggestions?For reference: Editing in source tab = plays video when adjusting any value. Editing in Sequence tab = doesn’t play video.

Playback and scrubbing extremely buggy after update. Renderer locked to Mercury Playback Engine OpenCL and cannot be changed. Happens even in simple 1080p sequence. Cache cleared and hardware decoding disabled.

Facing this issue in different projects therefore can't achieve a good result. I edit video in Premiere Pro CC2022 and when the project is done (mainly talking head)I create a new sequence where put already finished sequence and speed up video and audio about102-106%Of course, audio sounds unnatural and I apply pitch shifter. I've tried "Maintain Audio Pitch" it works even worse. For some reason, pitch shifter randomly distorts audio during playback, and if I play this part one more time I hear no distortion, but it reveals in a different part of the audio. This option works much better in Final Cut Pro. Hope to have it in PP. Maybe you have some recommendations on how to fix it? P.S. I can make 2 renders and this distortion can be in two clips but different places. 

Can Premiere Pro scripting / SDK /ExtendScript/QE read text from a selected subtitle object?It can from imported graphic templates (mogrts)Thanks

In the newest update of premiere (26.0.1) there is no ellipse tool in the effects panel when trying to blur a clip? Where is it ??? 

So i just downloaded the 2021 version and just like in the 2020 version the plural eyes not showing up. I already uninstalled the program and my pc. Any help out there?

ブラーやGaussianBlurなどで楕円でトラッキングしたいのですが、その楕円ツールが表示されないのですが何故でしょうか？ 楕円でBlurが出来る方法はありますか？（オブジェクトマスクツールは使えます）

Presets are not showing up and I cannot create new presets. I have tried. Reinstalling, delete cache, move ES folder to desktop, copy paste older version into 26.0.1, opened a new project to test. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. DT

No matter what I try, the blur effect in premiere wont track an object. It stays at 0% and just says “Progress…”. I have tried nesting the clips, clearing the cache, increasing them decreasing the speed of the clip, and more. Nothing works. AND I’m having to do this on an older version of premiere because the newest update HAS NO ELLIPSE TOOL AT ALL???? I am getting robbed from this program, I spend way too much time working around bugs and glitches over actually editing. Someone please help here :(  how can I track objects with the blur????

I have a handful of presets that zoom or pan that I like to make minor changes to depending on the video. After updating to 26.0 changing the scale value under these presets will change the key frames back to linear and completely mess up the zoom. Is there a way to turn this off in the preferences, or maybe a way to prevent it from happening?

Se faço uma camada de ajuste com transform em zoom, por exemplo, ele não mostra esse zoom acontecendo. Eu preciso renderizar o trecho e só assim consigo ver a alteração. Caso eu mude algo na camada de ajuste, perco todo o preview novamente, como se ele nem existisse, e tenho que renderizar novamente o trecho para ver como ficou

Subject: Issues in Premiere Pro 26 – Film Impact Dashboard and Production MigrationDear Adobe Management Team,I am writing to raise two serious concerns regarding Premiere Pro version 26.First, I would like to understand why critical functionality appears to have been released without proper testing. Specifically, I am referring to the Film Impact Dashboard extension.In Premiere Pro 26, when navigating to Window → Extensions → Film Impact Dashboard, the panel opens correctly and displays effect previews. However, when selecting two clips and clicking “Apply,” Premiere returns the message: “Effect not applied to all clips.”The same effect can still be applied manually from the Effects panel, but the Dashboard workflow with previews is significantly more convenient—especially for newer effects that are easier to identify visually. This functionality worked properly in version 25, which makes the issue particularly concerning.Film Impact Dashboard is a relatively recent addition to the Pr

I am using the New Premiere (v26.0) version. I am unable to add any transitions from the Film Impact Dashboard. When i try to apply it between two clips, it gives me the following message: "Transition not applied on all clips or sides". Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

When I replace a watermarked music clip with an unwatermarked version in my Premiere Pro project, it plays back fine as the unwatermarked version during editing. However, after rendering the final video, the audio reverts to the watermarked version.When I render the final video again a few days later, this situation no longer occurs.This consumed a lot of time..😭 using premiere v25.6

The zoom level in the Program monitor will be changed if the user enters “Trim” view. I’ve linked a screen recording where you can see I start in “Fit” mode, then hold Ctrl and highlight some edit points - then once I click out of the trim view, my program monitor zoom has changed to 19% effectively cutting off the top half of my frame.This results in the user constantly needing to reset their program monitor when managing lots of audio tracks or just using the trim view in general (personally I wish I could disable highlighting edit points automatically entering trim mode but that’s a different topic)This issue has been persistent for a few versions now, I think since some of the program monitor changes during 25.xWould love to see this one fixed Premiere 26.0.1, Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.4602 ~~Rather annoyingly this doesn’t seem to immediately affect a project, there seems to be some unspecified thing that causes it to start happening in a project - I just haven’t quite figured ou

I’m extremely frustrated.I have a nearly two hour film that I’m trying to copy to an SSD for the colorist. The footage is RAW 4k, so very big files. The complete project is almost 7 TB but I assume the timeline that I’m transferring is a fraction of that.I’ve tried to copy the files with the Project Manager twice now. The first time, it simply copied over all of the proxies over about two hours. It said that the original media was offline. So, I detached all proxies and relinked the original footage.The second time, it went through the “Analyzing” phase fine, and went along with the copying phase for a while. But at about 40 percent, the progress bar got stuck. I decided to leave it for as long as I could, but it didn’t move for four hours!When I finally cancelled, I checked to see if there were any new error messages. But there was nothing. Then I checked the SSD, and NOTHING had transferred over in all that time! Unlike the first time there wasn’t even a folder there to mark any prog

Hi, I hate the idea of having to consolidate media after duplicates appear just because I’ve imported some media into my project. I prefer to drag and drop from Explorer as I find it easier to find the right media within my own file structure.  I’ve tested with “Allow Duplicate media during project import” checked and un-checked.I’ve tested with XMP ID checked and un-checked.I’ve tested with importing files from Media Browser panelI’ve tested it with Premiere pro 2024, 2025, and 2026All just continue to duplicate media within my project files and bins. 6 years ago I could swear this never happened, and now it does. Is there a solution? Is it a bug? Is it lacking a feature (which I believe it already had) Any help would be massively appreciated. Thanks,Rob

I have had no issues with Premiere Pro and not, this week, every time I try to open it on my PC I get the attached error:The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140_ATOMIC_WAIT.DII was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.I have uninstalled/reinstalled Premiere Pro several times now. I am not sure what else to do. Please help!

Audio Playback Issue Description:When I play video clips in the Premiere Pro timeline, the audio will begin playing normally but then cuts out after approximately 2–3 seconds. The video continues to play without interruption, but the audio stops completely. Additionally, the audio meters in Premiere stop moving once the audio cuts out.Important Context: System audio works normally in all other applications (YouTube, system sounds, etc.). The issue only occurs within Premiere Pro. The problem happens consistently with imported video clips. Troubleshooting Steps Already Attempted: Reset Premiere Pro preferences. Cleared media cache files. Reset plugin loading cache. Temporarily disabled third-party plugins. Verified that the correct audio output device is selected in Premiere. Restarted Windows audio services. Tested disabling Mercury Transmit in Playback settings. Converted the source footage audio to PCM using Shutter Encoder and re-imported the files. Confirmed tha

Hello !The new Stroke effect (from film impact) is great but don’t work as it should (at least in my opinion)It seems that without that pre-scale settings, the stroke don’t appear (unless your crop, see in red, the rounded crop). It’s not really easy to manage, i need to adjust the prescale and border size each time to have something clean, and even with that, it’s often not perfect.Why it’s not just an outline of the current size, like the drop shadow, a outline adding ? Would be cool if it can be in this way.Thanks !
