There seems to be an intermittent memory leak in my computer. Is my computer with a AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, and 64 GB of RAM enough to edit my 90 minute feature film shot in XAVC S-I 10-bit 4:2:2 S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine?

I’m experiencing very similar issues after upgrading to v26.

Both Premiere and After Effects have become noticeably unstable. Things start off fine, but performance gradually degrades during normal editing and then it crashes. It really feels like some kind of memory buildup or leak over time rather than a one-off issue.

The other infuriating part is what happens after a crash. My otherwise stable machine drops to what feels like 2 FPS, with the mouse cursor barely responsive. When I eventually manage to shut it down, I’ll often get a CPU over-temperature warning on reboot. The odd thing is that temps seem to sit around 65 to 70°C, and the system behaves completely normally again after a restart, until Adobe is launched and the whole cycle repeats.

I’m running a high-spec system (128GB RAM, Ryzen 9 5900X, dual RTX 3090), and this same setup was stable on previous versions, so the issue appears to be specific to v26.

Right now it feels like you’re editing knowing a crash is coming, just not when.

Has anyone else seen similar behavior in 26.2? Any known fixes, workarounds, or acknowledgement from Adobe would be appreciated.
