Hello, I've been using the Beta's on PPro for a while with no issues, but this latest update 3/15/2025 and the one right before it were painful.
*On the latest update, I was simply trying to grab "still shots," so I wasn't even editing. I had 3 clips and took some stills, but the last clip would not play (it was a black screen where the video should be, with no audio). Please see the 1st screenshot of the error attached - it said "The audio for C0359.MP4 can't be read quickly enough from storage. Please check your storage and try again." I could not get it to work at all.
*Directly prior to this latest update, I was editing a short video that was about 2 mins long on 3/12/2025. It took soooooo long because each ripple delete or sound change or basically anything I did, a box would pop up "rendering" with a circle that would keep spinning at 0%, I kept waiting and then cancelling, but then realized if I waited long enough it woud go from 0% to 100% at the very end of the wait. The wait varied depending on how complex the action, but it would last anywhere from a few seconds to 30 or even over a minute (I didn't time it, this is just an estimate). These "rendering" pop-ups froze the screen and certainly added up, and the video edit took me like 3X as much time. I would have to wait for the render every single time.
*The program also shut down my whole computer during this same video edit on the 12th (I also have a screenshot attached of that). I bought this computer in August of 2024, so it's quite a new computer, and I have a habit of shutting everything down and emptying the trash before editing any videos because I heard it would make editing faster.
That's just three of the bugs I found by using Premiere Pro Beta two times.
Q: I'd love to roll back the beta to before this started happening. Is that possible? Will I lose the ability to edit files, or will I have issues if I do that? OR is this a known issue that will be fixed quickly? I actually upgraded from a 2017 MB Pro with an Intel chip because I wanted more bandwidth for video editing, and that is also why I also paid extra for the upgraded memory and storage and chip.
Here is my system info:
