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.

I uninstalled Premiere 26 and reverted back to Premiere 25.6.4 - so much better and more stable. Will likely upgrade back to 26 once the bugs are sorted.

2026 is the worst! It keeps crashing my PC (10 times now) even though I have updated my graphic drivers, cleared cach, and more. I will not be using it anymore until they fix it, if they even do. I have 64GB ram, and very fast processor. Do they even test their crap before releasing it any more?

I’ve experienced the same problem w/26 - constantly crashing! Tried all the ‘solutions’, clearing cache, reboots, etc. Can’t even access Crash Report; program totally shuts down when I click on it.

Still no answer or updates from Adobe?
