Question

Spotlight index fails while premiere pro is running

Hello, I’m using the latest version of Adobe Premiere pro on a MacBook M3 Pro. After the recent update to macOS 26, Spotlight stops indexing files or finding any files as long as Premiere Pro is open. Once I close Premiere, Spotlight starts working again, and I can find the files.

 

I’ve checked the settings and contacted Apple, and they said this is an issue related to third-party applications.

 

What’s the solution so I can use Adobe Premiere normally and still access my files quickly via Spotlight? Only files, images, and videos don’t appear — other things like apps and settings still show up in search. As soon as I close Premiere, the files appear again in Spotlight

Hi there,

Welcome to the community! Spotlight search while running Premiere Pro on Tahoe 26.0 seems to be working fine at my end. Have you checked that all the required file types are enabled under System Settings > Spotlight > Results from System > Documents? Also, is this happening specifically with Premiere Pro v25.5 or with other Adobe apps as well?

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

Thanks for confirming that. Have you tried reinstalling Premiere Pro to see if it's making any difference, or checking any of the previous versions of Premiere Pro?
