Thanks for reaching out. To troubleshoot your issue:

- How long is the footage you are using in TBE?
- Can you check if you have any extensions installed (usually they should be in '~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions' or in '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions'). You would also see them in the Windows->extensions menu.
- If there are any, try deleting (or renaming) that extensions folder and check if the issue persists.

If that doesn't help - can you reach out to me via PM and potentially send me a copy of your project (without media)? The transcripts would be included in the project file but that might be helpful to do more troubleshooting on our side.

Try even without Chrome running. Make sure the top tab Shows Premiere Pro

active and not Chrome as sometimes I experienced issues with Chrome active

even though I'm inside Premiere Pro.

But this may not be the culprit as I'm also experiencing lot of issues and instabilities

with text and its properties in general, UI becoming unresponsive and the only solution

is restarting Premiere Pro V25.0.0 build 61 on my late 2016 Macbook Pro.
