Looking for a way to import clips using a “starts with” filename match (Premiere Pro / Automation Blocks / spreadsheet-driven workflows)I’m using Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro to automatically pull video clips into a sequence based on file paths generated from a spreadsheet.Previous workflow (worked well): All footage was shot on one camera. Filenames followed a simple, predictable pattern (e.g. 1J1A0001.MP4, 1J1A0002.MP4, etc.). While filming, I logged the clip number in Excel. A formula built the full file path (path + prefix + clip number + extension). Automation Blocks could find each clip via an exact filename match and import it into a sequence. New issue: I added a second camera (Canon R5C recording .mxf). Canon filenames are much longer and include metadata (date, UUID, etc.). The clip number itself still matches what I log in Excel, but it’s now embedded inside a longer filename. Because Automation Blocks requires an exact filename match, I can’t reliably re

Hi zusammen, ich arbeite auf einem Mac und nach dem export sieht das Bild so aus (unten rechts) was mache ich falsch…?? Danke schonmal!😁

If i do a clean install of Windows 11 24H2 i cannot playback mp4 files with 5.1 audio. Microsoft writes "Beginning with Windows 11, version 24H2, the AC-3 codec is no longer included with Windows." and no solution is available such as "Buy the AC3 codec in MS Store now!!".   To reporduce: 1. Do a clean install of Windows 11 2. Install Premiere Pro 3. Import a mp4 file with 5.1 audio.   Result: The file will be imported as video-only.   Expected result: That the file imports as Video/Audio and that i can playback the file and hear the 5.1 audio.   Additional info: If you have upgraded from a prior version of Windows 11 to 24H2 the AC3 codec is included, so doing a clean install of Win 11 24H2 is vital to reproduce this.   I have a HP Z4 G5 workstation and none of the audio drivers for this machine do contain any AC3 codec that Premiere Pro can use.   Any solution from Adobe?   Microsoft document: Codecs in Media Player - Microsoft Support

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing heavy lag in Adobe Premiere Pro 2025 and I’ve narrowed it down to captions/subtitles being the main culprit. I wanted to ask if anyone has found good workflows or workarounds so captions can stay visible without slowing the timeline too much. Observed behavior:Timeline playback initially lags but becomes smoother after a few seconds.Moving clips or repositioning video layers becomes very delayed.Typing text becomes extremely laggy + delayed.When I hide the captions track, everything becomes smooth again immediately. I actually need captions visible while editing for extra comprehension (lol), so keeping them hidden isn’t ideal for my workflow. Questions:Is this a known limitation of captions in long-form timelines?Are there recommended workflows for editing long podcast/multicam projects with captions enabled?Are there caption settings or preferences that reduce timeline redraw or processing load?Any advice or workflows from editors who regularly cut long-f

I am currently working on a television project that has multiple cams (GoPro's, Sony's, and a RED Gemini 5k). I have setup all my RAW project files for each day under a production, and have had no problems with any footage, until I began importing R3D files. I made sure not to change the file structure when copying the files off of the production RAID and onto our company's server. Then, I used the media browser to import all files. The problem is that every second or thrid time I go to re-open a project with R3D files in it, it does the following things: 1. It will begin relinking media, then stop at a certain percentage, and not go any further.2. If I try to manually relink the R3D files (which have not been moved or touched since first ingest) the program freezes and stops responding until I close it. I have tried every solution I could find including:- resetting app preferences- resetting plugin load order- deleting my media cache files- changing my media cache

Hi All, My wife and I record gaming content through OBS, we play multiplayer games so I am on my PC and she is on hers. I have it setup so that, through both of our OBS, the game audio records to one track, and the mic audio records to another so that I can individually adjust volume if required. This means that when I import both sets of footage into premiere pro there are 4 separate audio tracks, 2 x game audio, 2 x MIC; and I have just started using multicam to edit this footage which is going great so far. However, the challenge I am currently facing is that, each time I switch to the other persons footage, I have to manually mute the game audio track from the footage I have just switched from so that you can only hear the game audio from the current persons perspective.  My question is: Is there a way, given the above scenario and using multicam, where each time I switch to the other persons footage; I can mute just the game audio track of the footage I have just switched from?  T

i opened premiere pro today and all my projects that i have are not there anymore. ive checked files and i just cant find anything! i have put in hours and hours of time into some of these projects so i need some help!

I’m an Assistant Editor and am needing to un-nest nested video and audio sequences in order to export an EDL to our archival producer reporting which archival clips are being used in our cut, and what the Source TC In/Out of those clips are.Is there an extension that quickly un-nests nested audio & video sequences (the audio ones are usually ringouts). I don’t need to carry over any effects, resizes/repositions, etc.; I just need to have the assets within the nested sequences in the sequence so they will show up in the EDL.

Input data: Premiere Pro 23.6.0 and Premiere Pro 26.0.0 installed on the same PC with 14600K, 64 GB of DDR4 Ram, RTX 3080, Samsung М.2 SSD. Media: mp4-h264, 4K, 29,97 CFR, 4:2:0.The test performed is here:In this video you can see 2 obvious things: 1) insane lags (actual frame skips) in Pr 26 with silky smoothness in Pr 23, and 2) the difference between iGPU versus dGPU operation.Question: how come? One and the same system, one and the same media on one and the same storage. It’s outta question that before these tests the cache had been deleted and the Premieres started anew. No aggravating circumstances!Opinion: out of all the new features, AI, clever search and generative extend I’d prefer to get the old iGPU over dGPU priority back and have the same fast and fluid timeline performance as it used to be. 

I have dozens of text items that I would like to reposition with one command rather than moving each individually. Is that possible? Using the Master Style tool I can adjust their color and fontof all text items simultaneously, but somehow Master Style does not include any text alignment parameters. Intuitively, you would expect that you could select all text items and then just go to the Effects panel to transform them as you'd do for a single text item. Sadly, that feature isn't implemented. These text items are burned-in Closed Captions that I created manually because the editing of built-in Closed Captions is a mess, but now I'm seeing that the text tool might be limited too. Please help, thank you! EDITED 5/21: for clarity

Hi, everyone, I am an occasional user, so I hope it's just a blunder on my end, but I can't seem to find a solution online for this. I am stabilizing a video footage by using the warp stabilizer. It works (i.e., I can see the footage stops shaking in the preview window) but when I go to File->Export Media; it does not export the effect. It will produce an exported video file, but the footage will be the shaky original. Why?!? All I'm doing is:Creating a new project, draging the video to the timeline, applying warp stabilizer (waiting for it to complete processing), and then trying to export. Do I have to apply the changes or something like that? The tutorials in the web do not seem to do that! Thanks in advance! 

Anyone else seeing consistent crashing of Premiere 2026? I have the latest update as of February 4th, flushed cache multiple times, re-installed, restarted computer, etc. But certain elements such as:Scrubbing the Timeline Adding Effects Adding CAPTIONS (of all things)Freezes the program and requires a forced quit. Attached is where the captions usually sit and fail before the crash occurs.I’ll likely downgrade to Premiere Pro 2025 if not addressed soon - but checking to ensure I’m not the only one and I need to look at my own stuff? Currently on Macbook Pro 14” with M2 MAX.

In Premiere Pro 26.0.1 on macOS, the Export panel still does not open at all.Clicking Export does nothing (no window, no freeze message).Reset workspace, reset preferences, and clearing media cache did not solve the issue.Media Encoder export works, but Export panel inside Premiere is unusable.

Premiere automatically replaces a deleted video file with another file with the same name found in other folders on the drive. More details. I was given two flash drives containing video from different cameras, even from different shooting days. But the file names in the folders are the same. Both are Sony cameras. The files in the first folder start with C001, and the files on the second flash drive also start with C001. I import these files into Premiere. All the files are in different folders. Each camera has its own Composition (Sequence). I start editing. I find the defective shots and immediately delete these files from the computer drive so they don't take up space. Previously, Premiere would immediately display an error that the file is now unavailable (it can't find the file), and Premiere would open a window asking me to find the file manually. I see which files it can't find and then simply delete them from the project. But now Premiere simply replaces the deleted file from

Hi, ​@Mathias Moehl Is there a way I can script a ‘get audio tracks of project item’. It’s not a built in block, but I see the API has a get audio tracks code.I’m still struggling with the custom-code block, but I’ll get there some day.The goal here is to identify project items that have 10 channel audio (or don’t when they should).

Yesterday I closed the big Production that I do most of my work within, to work on a small stand-along project.Today, I’m back to working within the main Production. From the ‘recents’ screen on startup, I selected the Project I was working in before the weekend. It opened perfectly fine, but the Production itself didn’t open. The Project opened as a stand-alone, which it’s not supposed to be, it was created inside the Production. The Production is no long in my ‘recents’ lists, so I can’t open it from that shortcut. When I go to File/Open Production/Browse and select the folder by the name of the Production I’m working in, it warns me ‘The selected folder is not a Production. Do you want to convert this folder to a Production?’.I’m scared to do so, I don’t want to change or corrupt all the files the production was built on.How do I get the Production open again??? How do I find the actual folder that is the Production, if the one I’m navigating to isn’t (apparently) a Production??? I’

My media cache only, as far as I knew, was in one folder location. Now, I am finding the ridiculously oversized audio files all over the place, which is utterly destroying the free space on my C drive. I don't know if this is a bug, but I never used to have this problem.  Currently, I have found in the hidden folder in the main user "AppData" folder under "Roaming->Adobe->Common" in the "Media Cache" and "Media Cache Files" (where it's always been) and also under "Peak Files." The strange additional location that I have no idea why it's putting them there also is under the "Public" user folder in the "Public Documents" folder ("Media Cache" and "Media Cache Files). I have a few questions: 1) How to I find if there's any other places Adobe is putting the files? I need to DELETE these space sucking monsters if there's anymore any place for old projects.2) Why is Premiere making multiple files of these giant sound files and putting them in multiple locations? How

Sometimes I need to delete some effects from clips in the effects control panel. This takes a long time if there are a lot of clips. Is it possible to automate this using Automation Blocks? The same question applies to transitions between clips—sometimes I accidentally press CTRL+D, don't notice, and then end up doing wasted work. 

cross dissolve boxes on clip when mousing over in timeline, how do you remove them? I’m on 26 and this a new 

I am finally getting to upgrade to a laptop that would work better with Premiere and Photoshop, and possibly After Effects.  My IT department has not been that helpful “get what you want for around $2,000.”  I work from a few different buildings - so I need a laptop rather than a desktop. IT suggested lookjing at Lenovo. I just got an email for what I think is a deal - $2,250 for Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 Intel (16") with RTX™ 5080 - Ultra 9 275HX Processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080, GPU 16GB GDDR7, Memoriy: 32 GB DDR5-6400MT/s (CSODIMM)(2 x 16 GB), Storage: 1 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 Performance TLCThanks for any insight!
