What the hell have you done to nested sequences?? I can no longer simply create a 3-channel video..every time I try to drag a 1080 sequence into my 5760 it brings in the source files from that sequence which defeats the whole purpose as all the scaling goes all over the place. 

I'm using Premiere Pro 26.0 on Windows 10.Please tell me the name of the shortcut key that moves the selected clip to the playhead.Could you tell me...? 

I've seen a lot of articles discussing the best video, sequence & export settings to get that crystal clear resolution on Instagram, but none of them are consistent with each other lol. If I'm shooting video on an iPhone 13 or newer, is 4k at 30fps best? 4k at 60fps? or 1080 at 30fps? Should I be shooting HDR? It gives that weird bright look that also dims the screen which I don't like at all. What about the format? Most compatible? And then in terms of the sequence settings in premiere....I'm assuming 1080x1920? Do the sequence settings have to match the settings of the video I recorded? Or can they be slightly different? In terms of the export I get totally lost, I need to learn more about bit-rate anyway, but for codec I've heard adaptive medium bitrate at H.264 is best, but I'm not sure. What about CBR/VBR? Are the aspect ratios for stories and posts different? Do I need to shoot with a specific camera to get that better-than-eyesight look? What about using slow motio

I wanted to have a handwritten animation in my video, so I screen recorded myself writing in photoshop. Green background, wrote a handwriting layer [to trace] in red, and then recorded myself tracing the red with blue. Opaque brushes, no transparency. In ultra-keying the separate colors out, I have found there to be certain elements I am unable to get rid of. As you can see, I have the red-turned-gray selected in the key color, but despite messing around with the sliders in every way, the color won't disappear. Also, I have tried to key out the outline of the photoshop brush cursor in premiere as well, but it oddly disappears and reappears in certain frames, and always blinks away the minute I move my cursor to select it with the dropper tool. Some of these issues seem to go away when I render and replace the composition, but that removes the transparency I've been working to achieve. Why is this so finicky? The keying is also super inconsistent across cuts of the same footage source..

After installing Premiere Pro 26.0.1, I tried running my UXP plugin using UXP Developer Tool, but it fails to load.I get the following error message:The plugin does not run at all.Before upgrading, it was working properly in the previous Premiere version.Premiere 25.6.2 Version is OK

Hi Adobe,I’ve already rolled back to Premiere Pro 2024 because the 2025 version is, frankly, unusable for professional work. It’s bloated with half-baked AI features nobody asked for, and the core editing experience has taken a massive hit in stability and performance. If I wanted TikTok-style auto-edits and AI junk, I’d be using CapCut for free.What I actually need is a fast, reliable, predictable editing platform that respects my workflow. Not experimental tools shoved into the UI at the expense of speed and precision.This constant push to reinvent the wheel every year without listening to your core user base is exhausting. Please stop prioritizing gimmicks over functionality.At the very least, make older, stable versions more easily accessible. And listen to the editors who made Premiere what it is not the marketing buzzwords.P.S. I'm just one more frustrated user, watching Adobe get worse every single year.

Ok, just updated to v 25.1 opened my projects in progress to find out that none of them uses my iGPU to decode.Went on checking it with different formats that are decoded (h264 8-bit 4:2:0, h265 8-bit 4:2:0, h265 10-bit 4:2:0, h265 10-bit 4:2:2) by the iGPU - all of them show 0% load. What is going on, guys? Why is it "new version - new bugs" thing every time? My CPU immediately started being loaded more, like by 60% all the time, even though my GPU does the decoding, whereas on the previous versions the average CPU load was 20-30% with the iGPU doing all the decoding job. Yes, I tried reinstalling both Premiere Pro (as well as resetting its cache, preferences and plugins via the start+shift menu) and all the drivers.  Steps to reproduce? Open a project or create one, import a knowingly decoded video, put it on your timeline, press Play.

Bonjour à tous, En essayant, sur les conseils de l’un de vos experts, l’export d’une vidéo avec comme réglage d’encodage de débit le VBR 2 passages (pour une meilleure qualité d’image en rendu final), j’ai constaté que la vidéo exportée était bien plus sombre que celle d’origine.Je m’explique : les clairs deviennent plus foncés, et les foncés sont très accentués par rapport à la version d’origine ou même la vidéo sur laquelle j’ai travaillé ce que, évidemment, je ne souhaite pas. Est-ce normal sachant que lorsque je fait un export VBR 1 passage, je ne constate pas ce problème ? Comment puis-je y remédier ? Autre question : depuis la mise à jour vers la dernière version d’Adobe Premiere Pro, j’ai remarqué que même en sélectionnant VBR 1 passage, j’ai deux débits qui s’affichent. Le débit cible et le débit maximum. Or avant, un seul s’affichait dans ce cas présent. Et j’aimerais garder, sur mon travail actuel, un VBR 1 passage pour justement éviter que l’image s’assombrisse exagérément. 

@Adobe, I wonder If it would be possible to hide the Bitrate Settings/Target Bitrate Slider a bit deeper in depths of the software. (exporting via Premiere) As you might know we alle have a lot of time and we love endless clicking and scrolling. Especially this feature is not used very often and it also kind of not important for professionals.Another idea would be the lock the access to this feature with 2 factor authentication or password security? Would that be safe enough preventing users to use this feature?Kopfschüttel! 

Maybe I'm missing something, but since updating, the only way I'm able to change font size is using a slider which has no numerical values. I have projects that rely on specific font sizes that I use, so I need to be able to see the numerical values. Please tell me where I can find that info.

This is never going to be resolved until they actually update what is wrong. So I just ahve this to say: NEVER EVER EVER EVER UPDATE YOUR ADOBE PRODUCTS WHEN THEY FIRST COME OUT. PERIOD. YOU WILL REGRET IT. On to the rest of the post:Having weird, going to call it "lag" issues? I hope I can explain it better below. When I am editing my videos, for some reason now the time line cursor will stop (I uploaded an image to show below, just in case I am not using the correct terminology). The video keeps playing. Then the cursor will jump to the time on the timeline and then stop again. Then it will continue to do it, it will stop for 3-5 seconds, then jump to the correct location. It is very difficult to edit when you glance down at the cursor line thing in your timeline only to see it lagged or sitting at the wrong place in the video edit and you have to stop the video for it to "catch up." Now before you say it is the files and the size, wtc, I wanted to remind you

It used to be the case that if I wanted to trim something out from the start of a clip that was already on the timeline, and not have to lock any of the other tracks, I could just move my playhead to where I wanted the clip to start, then Ctrl/Cmd+Click on the current in-point of the clip, and then drag it to the playhead, where it would snap. Everything would stay exactly where it was until I’d let go of the mouse button. At which point the gap would close and everything on those tracks would ripple along. But now, since updating to 26.0.1, for some unknown reason, when I try to use the ripple edit tool in the same way, everything ripples across in real time, which makes it almost impossible to see where my desired in-point is, unless I first put a marker on the footage first (which even then sometimes doesn't work, because sometimes the markers disappear when the ripple tool is in use). Or, I just move the in-point to where I want it, then click the gap and delete it.I just don’t und

After you work on the timeline and go to the export tab (Range: Source In/Out), if the project window is active instead of sequence, Premiere Pro 2026 exports from the original material. So no edits are included in the export. We tried this both on Mac and Pc. Mac doesn’t have such an issue but Pc does. I haven’t faced any similar issues in Premiere 2025 or before.

Hello, I have been trying to export a video clip as a GIF that will automatically loop when opened with a web browser or uploaded to social media or Youtube. I can't seem to get the loop part of the GIF to work, and I can't find a check box or something that will enable that as an option. I have resorted to just exporting my short video clips as regular video, then uploading to a 3rd party GIF creator online.  Is there a way to create looping GIFs straight out of Premiere? If not, I feel like this should just be a checkbox setting (loop or not loop). Thank you for your help. S

Hey folks: macOS 15.7.3M4 MaxPremiere Pro v26.0.1 (and all of v25.x versions) In Premiere Pro, the Essential Graphics panel shows the thumbnails of all of my mogrts, either present in “Local Templates → Local Templates Folder” or in “Libraries →My Library” or “Stock Templates”. I can select a mogrt and place it on my timeline with no issue. However, typing *any* terms in the search bar yield “no matching search results”. Workarounds tried:Searching for an exact mogrt namesor even just a letter or two - no matching results. Any combination of toggling Local Templates/Libraries on/off. Deleting all media cache(s), including recently used and all (requiring restart). Restarting Premeire Pro with SHIFT key down, and checking all of the boxes (clear media cache, reset app prefs, 3rd party plugin cache, one time disable, etc.) The “half” trick: Starting Premiere Pro with half of the mogrts removed form the Motion Graphics Templates folder, restaring Premiere Pro, then searching.

In cs5 i think you could just open a new project and go into advanced settings and change the frame size but in adobe premiere pro cc you can't?

I made the mistake of opening an older version of a project file while my Production was open, and Premiere got into a weird state where it went to the opening screen when you launch the app, and I couldn't move past it so I had to force quite. When I relaunched Premiere, the Production seemed to revert to a version from sometime yesterday. This despite the fact that I obsessively save every five minutes, and I had last closed and fully saved the Production around midnight yesterday. I checked autosave and of the two bins that contained the cuts I've been working on, one I was able to find a copy from fifteen minutes earlier, but the other bin hadn't autosaved since yesterday at 8:30pm. Is there another way to recover this Project file? I am of course on a tight deadline and dread losing almost a day's worth of work. Thanks!

The new masking method is absolute garbage. I can’t even change the size of an oval mask and keep it relative. My shape has 4 bezier curves now which mess with the entire oval shape. I want to mask my subject with an oval mask and just resize the oval. But if I touch any of these points it messes up the entire mask shape.  What goober designed this? Thinking of moving to Capcut. Every upgrade gets worse with Adobe. Two months ago my 2nd monitor output stopped working. They acknowledged it was an issue but are too lazy to fix it. 

Adobe Premiere 26.0.1. MacOS 14.8.3 (23J220), Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020.During scrubbing, both the source and program monitors will “wash out” the footage slightly. I’ve attached two screenshots showing the issue: the first shows the source monitor after I have scrubbed to a frame, but I haven’t released the mouse button yet. The second shows the exact same situation, the only difference being I’ve released the mouse. (The difference is significantly more noticeable on the actual screen.)This occurs on any footage type I’ve tried, including Red and Blackmagic Raw.This is new as of v26. 

Hello! I am trying to load the official "Blackmagic Gen 5 Film to Extended Video.cube" LUT into premiere pro and I'm getting an "unable to load selected file" error. I pulled the LUT directly from Davinci Resolve's LUT folder. I've tried loading it through the creative and basic correction tabs of Lumetri and I get the same error each time, see attached screenshot. All of my other LUTS load fine. I tried contacting Blackmagic and they just told me to contact Adobe. I'm using premiere pro 2020. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Up until today my workflow was as follows: Download source footage from overseas videographer on Frame.io AND download a “proxy lowest” vesrion of the same files; Import Full res into Premiere; Link proxiesusing the Frame.io low res versions.Today I got an error message saying proxy media and full resolution media must have matching audio channels. Preventing me from linking the two.These proxies have no audio and the full res files have 4 separate audio channels. But until today it wasn’t an issue. I edit on a windows laptop and it takes forever for me to encode proxies from 4K LOG 10bit footage so this was an absolute life saver…Any luck from someone that is using a smilar workflow and might know a fix?

I’m not having the wonderful experience with the new color management i expect. I thought it was a feature of my Intel MacBook Pro and its GPU but it seems others are having this problem. If I apply a Lumetri creative LUT and i’m in an Aces color space timeline I get a weird solarised effect. This happens if I select Aces or Rec 709 in the color space box. So i’m assuming the LUTs are not designed for Aces color space. So is there a work around for this ? There should be a way to block or grey out the Rec 709 LUTs so they cant be used if that’s the reason.Or can the LUT be applied on export to Rec709 ? Is there a plan to tackle this problem in a future release ?Thanks Jonathan

Last week, I accidentally allowed an upgrade to proceed, assuming there wouldn’t be any major problems. That was a mistake. Constant crashes, clips disappearing without reason, ridiculously laggy preview scrolling, and processing that stutters for no apparent reason. I’m having the worst experience I’ve ever had. I tried updating Premiere Pro, resetting presets, and clearing the media cache, but nothing helped. I wanted to downgrade, but too many processes have been completed since the update, and there’s a huge amount of data to back up, so I just don’t have the time. It was my mistake to carelessly allow the OS update, but the repercussions have been massive. If anyone reading this is considering upgrading their OS, absolutely DON'T do it right now.

How do I revert to the old mask tool in the new 2026 update without having to roll back? I really don’t like it I’m sorry to say. 

Hi,Starting this week when I send items to the render queue or try to create a proxy from within Premiere Pro nothing shows up in Media Encoder.Media Encoder opens and the dialogues in Premiere all show up as expected but nothing is added to the queue.However from After Effects selecting Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue... the selected composition is added to the the queue.I can add to the queue directly from AME by Adding Source or Adding Premiere Pro Sequence, I just can't add to the queue, either as an export or create proxies, from within Premiere Pro.This is very frustrating. The only thing I've found in these forums which seems to describe my issue says, 'after a time it fixed itself' which is extremely unhelpful.I've tried clearing all the caches, uninstalling (from the CC app) individual applications, restarting, and reinstalling. I've tried uninstalling the whole CC suite and reinstalling, to no avail.If anyone has any ideas I'd welcome them,Thanks.VersionsAdobe Me
