P: Premiere Pro v.25.4 'eats' memory

Contributor ,

  Hi Adobe,
I haven't contacted you in a long time....first let me praise you, you can see that you are working hard and every iteration of Pp is better and better....until this v25.4...the problem is that the new version 25.4 'eats' memory....
T he system is Win 11 pro, freshly installed with all updates (24H2 - Os build 26100.4946),
graphics driver (580.97-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-nsd-dch-whql)...
deleted (Media Cache Database, Media Cache Files, deleted rendered files from Adobe Premiere Pro Video Previews) from previous renders
  Kreativ cloud installed.....mostly, when I render a video on the timeline the memory goes up and up until it reaches 64GB, as much as I have and everything stops, even the OS...must restart the system(hard,everything is frozen)...so I was forced to restore v.25.3 and the same I rendered the project,delet (Media Cache Database, Media Cache Files, deleted rendered files from Adobe Premiere Pro Video Previews) and...
memory does not exceed 32GB or 48% of memory usage....

 

my configuration;

RTX 3090TI 24GB
Ryzen 9 3950X
64GB memory
1NVMe M.2 for Os
1NVMe M.2 for video
1NVMe M.2 for cache....ect

 

thank you very much and all the best

Hi @Thomas3014723051e2 

The team is aware of the issue, which affects Windows and Mac systems, and is working diligently to resolve it. The current workaround is to revert to another Premiere Pro version, such as 25.3. This will help avoid the memory leak until we have a solution in place. Once we have that solution, we will update the community. 

Here to help

Hello! After the latest Premiere Pro and Media Encoder updates, my RAM started to overload while outputting video to my computer. Everything used to be fine, but now, during the withdrawal process, the RAM load increases to 200 GB and the project crashes.

So we are told to revert to a previous 25.? version to have a good working version of pp. Projects saved in say 25.4 will they open in 25.3? I thought they would not open once you upgraded and then saved that project in that newer version.

It's only major version changes that won't open in a previous major version ... we are in the 25.x series now, last year was the 24.x, right?

 

You can't open a 25.x project in a 24.x Premiere, but you can always open a 25.x project in any 25.x version.

Awesome! That is good to know. The new bug in 25.4 using the track select tool to move hundreds of clips is killing me and so time to revert ASAP:)

Same. I have like 100 video orders to finish and now its taking me even longer to force quit, reopen, export etc. The previous version literally had no issues.... Wish they would stop breaking something that works.
