Sequoia + Premiere 25 = Nightmare

We are a post-production facility in Italy, and until we updated to Sequoia (what a big mistake), everything worked perfectly. Now, we are facing several issues and are considering downgrading to Sonoma.

System Specs:

  • Apple M2 Max
  • 32GB RAM
  • macOS Sequoia 15.3
  • Premiere Pro 25.1
  • All macOS Settings > Privacy & Security are configured correctly (Premiere has full disk access, screen recording, audio permissions, etc.)
  • Transcription is turned off

Issue:
When we open the project we are currently working on (heavy timeline, 8 video tracks, 18 audio tracks), we receive the following error: MRImportX (Importer:39).
After deleting the cache, we can open the project and work on it, but we are unable to export (stuck at 0%).
From the second time we reopen the same project, it gets stuck on Media Pending, and we need to delete the cache again to open it and see the material linked.

The same project works perfectly without any issues on an iMac running Sonoma with the same Premiere version 25.1.

We have already tried downgrading Premiere to 25.0 and 24.6.4, but we still encounter the same error.

Do you see any other solution than downgrading to Sonoma?

Correct answer Averdahl

thank you but I don't think free disk space is the point


Maybe not, but it is a pretty serious issue since the disk/s one use with almost no free space left perform really bad and thus gives the user problems/errors/crasches. 

 

Downgrade that machine to Sonoma and try again. It either solves the problem or not.

You probably do, but I have to ask:

Do you have enough free hard drive space?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
