MacOS Tahoe Adobe support - extremely poor performance

Community Beginner ,
Sep 24, 2025 Sep 24, 2025

I made the mistake of upgrading my Mac Studio to MacOS Tahoe, and now Premiere is practically impossible to use. Playback is choppy with the program choking on any timeline with more than one clip / effect, and simple edits have crazy input lag. I know how to revert back to Sequioa, but I don't have a Time Machine backup before Tahoe so it seems pointless.

 

Based on last year's Sequioa release, does anyone have an idea of when Adobe would release a patch to support the new MacOS? Will it be this year since they normally only release 5-6 updates and we're already at 25.5? Anyone else struggling with this and found any workarounds?

 

DON'T UPDATE YET IF YOU HAVEN'T

Thanks for the details. Is hardware accelerated decoding enabled under Premiere Pro > Settings > Media?

Wait wait, you have to enable permissions again. It happened to me and I freaked the **** out. 

Settings>Privacy & Security> Give Premiere permission (should be there on that page upon opening it).

I noticed my hardware acceleration was turned off after updating? Maybe try that? Otherwise, it sucks, but perhaps the video format in which the clips were shot in might need to change. For me, I shoot on a sony a7s3 and shooting on XAVC S-I 4K is the best to work with, but, file size is larger.

I dont know what to do where you screenshotted. Mine says app store and known developers, and i can change it to app store, but nothing changes. I have given premiere and media encorder full disk access as well and that didnt solve it. I have cleared my cache, im not sure what else to do. It seems like its my footage that I filmed in 59.94. but even slowed down or interpreting the footage to be 23.976 doesnt solve it being laggy.

I just made a 59.94fps timeline and I was able to play the clip in full... a slight inconvience but maybe a temporary solution. fingers crossed

I second the performance issues.  Never had problems scrubbing through a timeline before, even with 4K video (on 1/2 playback resolution).  Now I have to waste time making proxies all the time.  Don't do Tahoe folks!
