Question

I need help stopping Adobe Premiere Pro Beta from reframing my images and video

Hello,

 

I am doing an assembly edit for images and video in Adobe Premier Pro Beta (2025 version). After I have framed each sequence or image the way I want it, I save. The program keeps going back and resizing and reframing all of my assembled edits. I am under deadline and super frustrated. Please provide a link on where to fix this. I reached out to Adobe support and never heard back. I am a Creative Cloud subscriber.

 

Thank you!

How are you doing the repositioning, and what kind of timeline are you working with?

 

I'm not seeing any issues in the beta on a standard timeline using motion controls to resize and put moves on stills.

 

But if I resize or put motion an image in a multicam source sequence, which is then nested into a multicam timeline, when rendered the resizing is omitted, and on restart the image is static.  I think it has something to do with being in a nested sequence.  

 

Havent' seen a resolution to that bug I reported earlier in the week.

Hi MisterAdvent, 

 

I am resizing and positioning in the panel where you can see the video. Then I click save. The timeline stays the same. The program just moves images and video clips up or down or resizes them. I am not sure what a nested sequence is. Is there a place in preferences I need to unclick? The program seems to have a mind of its own and unfortunately I am stuck having to work in the beta version since this is where I began the project.

You could try to export an FCP XML, and import that into the non-beta version of PremierePro.  But I suspect that won't solve the underlying issue.  Adobe just implemented a change in the beta where you can now easily manipulate the viewport of the program monitor using pinch, zoom, and scroll.  Are you sure you are manipulating the clip, and not the monitor window?  Because that is the only explanation I can imagine that would lead to the results you are reporting.  Are the Motion Effect values changing when you are 'reframing' your clip? (Looking in the Properties panel is the easiest way to check that.)  If not, use those values to reframe your clips, and see if those changes are retained when you re-open the app.

Hi Neil, I went ahead and dumped my media cache files and the program restarted. I then went into my project. I am going back and repositioning all the video and stills that were repositioned and hoping that they will stay where I put them.

When I pull in an image or video clip and position in assemble edit, I hit save. I would think that should keep the program from repositioning everything. I did not know if there is something I need to turn off in preferences.

As you launch the program, hold down the Shift key. A dialog appears, with option. Dump all the cache files. As it then opens, give Premiere a minute or two to get them rebuilt.

Hi Neil, Thank you for that suggestion. I should not have tried the beta version but found if I wanted to go back to the regular Adobe Premier Pro 2025, I would lose some resolution and other quality in what I have in my production. I have not worked heavily in Premiere Pro. How do I dump cache files. I know Adobe generates a lot of files. When I first open the program, I immediately hit the shift key? I am running Windows 10 Pro right now so I don't know if that doesn't get along with the beta version or not. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Wow, I've never had that happen. Not sure why you're using the beta for deadline-based projects, but I've been working with some things in that, and haven't had a single issue like this.

 

There's always the wise thing to close, hold down shift at launch, and dump all cache files. That often stops weird behavior.
