Hi there, I'm experiencing a weird issue when exporting a sequence. I'm making a video of the year-end school performance of my daughter I shot last Christmas. Everything is fine, except for the introduction sequence I'm making using a stock background video found on YouTube: it's basically a little shooting star moving across a red background. For a nice effect, I'm using a black mate mask with opacity at 0 only around the little star and tracking it, with stereo effect of a glitter sound. This happens three times before the mate mask reveals the whole imagine. And it's precisely at the third occurence happening at around 00:00:08 to 00:00:09 that there's a glitch after exporting. Weird thing is that there's no glitch for the two previous ones, and yet it's the same thing happening on the screen. It's worth noting that the stock footage is 25 fps and my export is 60 fps, because I shot the whole school performance at 60 fps for smoother movement

The document is "long-form-episodic-best-practices" and it says  If your workflow relies on modifying the source clips using any of the following commands, do not use proxies in Premiere Pro. Doing so will result in unexpected behavior: Modify > Audio Channels Modify > Interpret Footages Modify > Timecode Modify > Captions .At this point, we're not using a production workflow but might consider it if we see any benefits, but there will just be one editor on site (at least as far as I know) I've used modify: interpret footage to override the colorspace so that mxf files play properly and when I've done this, it also automatically applies to the proxies...     I'm assuming this is ok and guessing the interpret footage  caveat is only important if you're interpretting to adjust framerate   I've just started working on a large documentary project with extensive 4K 2 camera interviews and 3 or 4 camera performances...  We really need to work wi

Hi guys. I use Premeire Pro on Mac and Im just so confused. Complete noob and didnt want to have to make this post but Im getting frustrated. I keep importing a video from my photos and it keeps going missing any time I close the project. The video is still in my photos and I can't get it to upload to my Creative Cloud which is what I would usually do instead. Where do I need to upload it to get it to stay in the project. 

How does the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro (2025) optimize performance on Windows 10, and are there any new features or settings that help improve playback and rendering speeds compared to previous versions?

Hi guys,Just curios what people are doing with their raw footage after they have finished with the project.I have found as the file sizes increase due to 4k size, my project folders are getting bigger and filling drives faster.I'm currently keeping all my old footage (like a true hoarder) and exporting it to storage drives but can't continue to do this. Culling the projects I feel I will never access again is looking like the option. Problem is I'll need to cull harder than I want to. Are you keeping all your footage or deleting it at a later date?Cheers

Hello! Love automation blocks! Is it possible to have also videos and photos, or only videos in the "one click slide show?" If so how exactly? Is it possible to automatically intitialize beat edit in the one click slide show?  is it possible to us automation blocks to automatically generate captions? And finally is it possible to take data from a googlesheet and google drive and have premiere automatically trigger the one click slide show using the text data and images and music ? (or another way to make this work?)Thanks so much!Chris 

Hello @Mathias Moehl  The attached script swaps out the selected clip in your sequence for the selected project item in your bin, retaining the in-point of the sequence clip. It works fine, but the exported files don't match the sequences! All clips in the timeline that were applied by the script start at the wrong frame in the exported video files. For example...Clip 1 should start a 1:06, but starts at :19Clips 2 and 3 should start at  :20, but start at :19  Then, after you close and re-open the project, the sequences match the exports, showing that the clips in the sequence have the incorrect in points. Boggling that the project can look one way, and then another way after you re-open it. I would think it has something to do with the framerate rounding error the script accounts for, but Clip 1 is off by too many frames. Two editors on two different machines were able to recreate this error a number of times.Very confusing one!

When first opening a Premiere project from the Auto-Save Folder, then Save As... the save dialogue opens. The current original file shows as greyed out outside the Auto-Save folder as expected. However, clicking on the item to replace the file with the original name, the dialogue selects the file name, but also unexpectedly the Auto-Save folder. As such, the user is tricked to save the file into the Auto-Save folder, instead of replacing the selected file. Thanks.

Hi,   I had a problem, and I've found the solution, so I thought it might be a good idea to share it here. For some reason, sometimes it is not possbible to right-click in the timeline and select "clear all markers".   I discoverd this is because the settings "Sequence > selection follows playhead" has been enabled. This automatically selects a clip in the timeline and for some weird reason, it disables the option to clear all markers. Disable selection follows playhead and you are able to clear all markers.   ... now for some reason, the selection follows playhead option is sometimes re-enabled, I don't know how this happens. I don't have a short-cut assigned to it, that I accidently type ... .

I just sat down to try and catch-up on some backlog and I spent 40 minutes relearning how to do a simple text title.  This is RIDICULOUS!   I was just getting used the overly complicated "Essential Graphics" and now Adobe has managed to make it even more obtuse and difficult.   I do not have the time to constantly relearn simple tasks like titling and NO it is not an improvement in any way!   Mod note: Edited for content.

I have 2 subtitle styles, red/white for main speaker, yellow/black for others.       When I select all the ALTERNATE speakers and select the YELLOW track style, it changes EVERY caption style on the sub.   The only way to change all the ALTERNATE SPEAKER captions to yellow is to select them all, and manually change fill (copy hex code, paste), manually change background (copy hex code, paste) and repeat for subsequent videos.   Surely there is an easier way? Even a singular copy paste?Reminder: Changing the track style once, change it for all captions.Edit: I tried using 2 tracks, one with red track style for main, one with yellow track style for alt speakers, however PPro only allows one to be visible. Toggling visibilty on one, turns it off for the other.

Sometimes an effect is drag & drop to layer in the time line, other times an adjustment layer is created & effect is drag & drop to that adjustment layer. How to decide whether an effect needs adjustemtnt layer or not?   

Hi,7 months ago we did a film using Premiere Pro and the font Yu gothic bold. Now we would like to do a short trailer and add some text to the font credits but Yu gothic seems no longer available.Is there a way to get the font back so that we dont have to do all text parts again?Thanks!Katrin

Hi friends, I'd like to ask you a question because I don't understand why I can't find the h265 codec in the format search bar when I want to export a video. I'm attaching a photo to illustrate my problem. Could you help me ? 🤔 🤔

There are some tools missing from my toolbar such as the TRACK SELECTION BACKWARD TOOL  among others.   How do I add more tools to the tool bar ?Thanks.

Good morning! I have a problem with the audio. I imported an mp3 file into the library but when I insert it from the library into the timeline it doesn't play. If I open it in the library instead it works. Thanks. Manuel

Hello,I was shooting an interview situation and have now trouble with my second cam footage.A Sony a7s in combination with an Atomos Sumo was used to record it in 4k ProRess422HQ.When I load the footage into Premiere something strange happens: While the "Source" monitor shows the material as it was recorded and set up at the shoot (WB and exposure seems fine, also compared to the primary camera), the colors and exposure shown on the "Program" monitor is completely off! When i open the footage with VLC the material looks fine, but as soon as I render it through Media Encoder the colors and exposure way off again (Proxies even more)  I shot a similar Situation with the exact same set-up already half a year ago and even though the video data (codec, color space, bitrate, etc.) are the same, this time it doesn't work at all. Kindest regards,Mathias I'm working on Premiere Pro 14.5.0 (Build 51)Windows 10, Intel Xeon W-2125 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro P400

Hey everybody, Posted this in the Media Encoder-subforum as well, but no results.. This one is way more active, so I'll have a crack here.. I've been exporting video's in H.264 with NVENC Hardware Encoding for a couple years now, and it always has been working fine. But since today it suddenly doesn't work anymore. I've tried everything, I've updated my Nvidia-drivers to both the Game Ready and Studio Drivers, I've installed an earlier version of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder etc. etc. but nothing works. My hardware is:AMD Ryzen 9 5900XNvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super32GB DDR4 RAMSamsung 990 Pro SSD And my encoder settings are:H.2643840x2160p 25fpsProgressiveVBR 1-Pass (35 Mbps target with 45Mbps max) Look, It's never been an issue, and now when I wanna export a video with the exact same settings it suddenly doesn't work anymore, and I've also tried on other videos which I previously rendered. Now they suddenly don't. Even more curiously. For some reason, wh

I'm doing a short video about an open-water swimmer who is blind. I could sure use some input to help me reduce suddenly loud waves at the shore during an interview I did. I should have known better, but a passing ferry created just enough waves to give me angst while editing this interview because my subject was, of course, at the shore, which was initially quiet. Bad subject placement, for sure.   I've been mucking around with Essential Sound, but I can't seem to find a result that I'm really satisifed with. Any suggestions are really welcomed. Thanks very much! -Al 

I am able to set the Look by providing a index number which reprensents the menu option from the dropdown app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].components[2].properties[32].setValue(5, true);   Is there a way to load a LUT as blob programatically and set it for the Look? Maybe somehow initiate the "Browse" option and programatically inject the the blob's path?   Checking this document about the Lumetri properties, on index 0 there is the Blob property, but I don't know what it is for? Reading the value from that property gives me some weird output like:   䰼浵瑥楲ਾ†朼極㹤攢㌸捣㙢ⴰ慡ㄱㄭ攱ⵣ㘹ㄳ㌭昸搹戳ㄶ㥣≥⼼畧摩ਾ†瘼牥楳湯∾∳⼼敶獲潩㹮 㰠慮敭∾㰢港浡㹥 㰠敫晹慲敭ਾ††琼浩㹥〢㰢琯浩㹥 †㰠睴敥㹮〢㰢琯敷湥ਾ††攼獡楥㹮ㄢ㰢支獡楥㹮 †㰠慥敳畯㹴ㄢ㰢支獡潥瑵ਾ††猼汥捥整汤祡牥∾∰⼼敳敬瑣摥慬敹㹲 †㰠桳摡牥ਾ†††渼浡㹥弢䝟潲灵敂楧≮⼼慮敭ਾ†††挼獵潴湭浡㹥弢䝟潲灵敂楧≮⼼畣瑳浯慮敭ਾ†††瘼獩扩敬∾∱⼼楶楳汢㹥 ††㰠潬正摥楶楳汢㹥〢㰢氯捯敫癤獩扩敬ਾ†††漼慰楣祴∾∱⼼灯捡瑩㹹 ††㰠慭歳∾∰⼼慭歳ਾ†††瘼捥潴浲獡㹫〢㰢瘯捥潴浲獡㹫 ††㰠....     I can't find any solution on the web and there is no much help in the documentation of the API.  

Premiere Pro 22.6.3MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) Working with captions. Same settings on back-to-back subtitles but the position is different. I've tried clicking difference zone positions thinking it might reset the issue, but it does not. Don't want to have to offset every one of these, obviously. Ideas?

As I type out numbers using  =, +, x or -, the numbers will flip to the wrong side of the equation. Similar problems occur when I use dollar signs. Please let me know if anyone has potential solutions. Attached screen recorded gif with my key strokes displayed on screeen.

There has been an old post about it that I cannot reactivate, so I will start a new one.Using a Premiere Multicam sequence has been recommended in the past to sync audio and video by premiere. I have lots of footage from two different cameras and I need to sync them by waveform. However I cannot see an option to mark the clips as "camera 1" and "camera 2" before syncing. So multicam sometimes stacks up six videos on top of each other although they were shot by the same camera. How can I fix that?another option:I tried to put them all in a timeline first - video for every camera on a single track, but when I right click "syncronize" is greyed out. any other option? I not set the "camera label" in the metadata fields for all of my clips. So I labeled them like "1" and "2" for my cameras, still it stacks up 8 clips on top of each other.
