Hi @jbellomo 

We are sorry that you can't use beta builds at your place of employment.  Please try the workaround below, listed in the known issues

 

Issue: Windows customers may see an “Import Files” dialog box that never completes in the following conditions:

  • The Learn, LibrariesFrame.io panel, or any panel listed in Windows > Extensions, is turned on.
  • An AAF, Final Cut Pro XML, or EDL file is being imported.

Workaround: When importing these file types, first close the above-listed panels. The panels can be turned on again after the import has been completed.

I'm talking about a Photoshop file, PSD, is that file included. I just tried the work around and that didn't work for me



Thank You

It helps by enabling you to import the material, using beta builds; PPro project formats are compatible across a major version, so 25.1 beta projects can be opened in 25.0.

The fix will be in the next official release; no dates available.

Hi Alex,

 

See correct answer; this is already fixed in PPro beta builds.

Ok, got it, thanks. I will work in 2024, then I will move to 2025. I also
don't like that you removed the title editing from the graphic templates
tab. It was very convenient to do it in 2024.It would be great to have this
tab back in the new version, thanks

After installing the update, Premiere 2025, I can't import XML files. The program freezes and then crashes, but in version 2024 there is no such problem! Thanks

@mark_4954  adobe won't give you an answer (totally fair), but what I can say to you or anyone else who is curious, as someone who has paid attention over the last couple years;

  • Main version updates (v2x.0/v2x.y) usually tend to drop around mid month, often towards the beginning of the week.
    • They tend to drop every 1-2 months (often a few back to back and then slowly skipping months towards the end of the year cycle as they build out the next v2x version; v24 only hit 24.6 over the year for example).
  • Any minor updates (say for example, a 25.0.1) can fall anywhere inbetween (ie, ae just dropped 25.0.1 in the last day or two for example. Different teams ofc but they tend to follow similar release cadences).

 

If these are current projects and not new projects (that you could start in v24 then just upgrade after import), your best bet currently is to install the current beta version (then turn OFF auto update until project completion). The current build (56) seems mostly stable but that can of course break at any moment as they test things

Hey all, 

 

Since the latest update I've experienced several new, unique and frustrating bugs that persist after fresh installs, media cash clearances and preference resets. The most notable one at present is it's preventing me from importing third party transitions. Previously - Premiere would ask me to link the media it was searching for after I imported. Now that step is missing and the programme hangs on 0% with the "import files..."dialogue box open. Is there a workaround to link the media to the file or otherwise solve the issue?

Thanks. My post was just moved here, so I'm just catching up. 🙂

 

Regarding ETA, is there a time when 25.1 will be released, i.e., calendar date? Thanks again.
