Is Adobe ever going to make their apps usable again?

I thought it couldn't get worse than the incompetent disaster of 2025, but then v26 came out. Is this it now? Are the apps just going to be buggy, slow and unreliable forever?

Hi real_5081,

We’re sorry to hear about this. Please elaborate the issue you are experiencing with Premiere. Is it a performance issue or a crash? We’re here to help, just need more info.

Thanks,

Sumeet

The issue is Adobe rushing out worse and worse versions every year to the point that a serious professional workflow can't rely on it. I have dozens of issues from slowdowns, crashes, bugs you guys haven't bothered to fix in years. Adobe needs to have more professional pride in their work because it's so far behind the competition now.

You might think about there being several million daily users, who are not posting here about troubles working … and maybe try to post something so those of us who love to actually help other users can maybe help you get working again?

Are there some issues? Yea, always. I run both Premiere and Resolve Studio, have for years. Both apps always have issues for some users.

I’m running Premiere both 26.0.2 (build 2) and the public beta … and I’ve got back through about 2020 installed still on my Win10 desktop, and all versions are running smooth and normal.

So what’s your hardware/media and workflow needs? What parts of the app are causing issues?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I haven't got time to list the dozens of issues I have with this dog turd software. Resolve gives me no issues, neither does Blender, Pro Tools l, Logic it anything else. Just Adobe and their pathetically low standards.

I’m a totally practical fella. What works, works. Use the tool that works for you. Whether anyone else does is irrelevant except if you have to share projects of course.

And I don’t ever even know the brand name on the many hammers I’ve got in the woodshop. They’re tools ... that’s all. Each one a bit different and better at some hammering tasks than the other hammers I’ve got. I use the one better suited for a task if there’s a needed difference. If not, whatever one is handy. I look at apps the same way.

But do understand, the app that’s dog turd for your rig/media/practices flies for millions of other people. So ... it’s not that the entire app is dog-turd, it’s just that in your situation, it doesn’t work.

Resolve 20 runs fine on my desktop ... 24 core ryzen, 128GB of RAM, and a 2080Ti ... runs about identical to Premiere.

On my laptop, Resolve simply is such a slow dog that I uninstalled it. Yet ... Premiere 26.x runs fine. So our situations are different ... well, yea, that’s Life.

So I won’t use Resolve on the laptop, and maybe you won’t use Premiere. The world will survive without even noticing.

Although if you do take the time to post the details of your rig/media and the problems you run into, step by step, it does help other users see where problems might lie for them. And the devs do actually note such posts, when there’s enough data to be useful for them to understand or trouble shoot something.

I’ve posted epic rants both there and on the BlackMagic forums, I’ve got no beef with needing to rant! But ... I’ve also posted then extensive reasonings for the rants for the devs and other users to see.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
