Fixed issues in 25.1

Audio:

  • The audio was not imported for MXF files with 32-bit audio.
  • The Progress panel sometimes showed duplicated "Enhancing Speech" processes.
  • Newly created Audio Tracks did not respect the Solo state of other tracks.
  • Attributes would not be correctly pasted across all audio channels of a clip on the timeline.
  • Clicking on a clip badge to open the Effect Controls or Essential Sound panels would open the panels on the mouse down.
  • Premiere Pro would sometimes crash when disabling Enhance Speech during processing on nested sequences

Captions and transcriptions:

  • When importing a custom caption preset which was previously saved with a certain style, the "Style" option could erroneously be reset to "None".
  • Undoing a merge of multiple captions segments would not select all segments.

Editing:

  • The Time Ruler Numbers option for Timeline was disabled, and the shortcut did not work.
  • Some EDLs would fail to import.
  • The Progress Sheet was not docked with other panels when opened from the Windows menu.
  • Premiere Pro would hang when exporting some projects to XML.
  • Get Media File Properties for > Selection was disabled for Timeline clips.
  • Option or Alt + mouse wheel would not zoom the Timeline based on the cursor location.
  • Scaling below 50% of a still image in a timeline, when played in non-high quality, half or quarter resolution, could cause the image position to shift.

Effects: 

  • Applying Morph Cut via an Adjustment Layer could cause a crash.
  • Crash observed when opening Old Premiere Pro (22.x) project containing Morph Cut effect.
  • Some projects using the Morph Cut transition could crash when using the GPU-accelerated renderer.

Formats:

  • Observed artifacts during reverse playback of AVC Long GOP MXF media.
  • [Regression 24.4] Adaptive bit rate presets (High/Medium/low) under the video setting were showing the same bit rate during Export.
  • Disabling the hardware-accelerated decode preference did not work for ProRes media—playback would still use hardware acceleration with this option disabled.

Team Projects:

  • Read-only sequences from Media Browser allowed changes to be made.

Text-Based Editing:

  • Clip markers could sometimes not show or be added to audio-only clips in the Transcript tab of the Text panel.
  • With a project set to Read Only, it could be possible to drag markers in the Text panel's Transcript.
  • Importing a corrected transcript could result in a timecode mismatch.
  • When working with English transcripts, the first word of a sentence could erroneously start with a lowercase letter.

I cancelled my Adobe subscription several months ago because I purchased a new Microsoft Surface that came with the Snapdragon X processor, but Adobe Premiere Pro was not compatible. Does version 25.1 resolve this noncompliance? Last update was Oct 2024: Do Adobe apps work on Microsoft Copilot+ PCs?

Here is the page indicating support and conditions for the hardware, @Derrick24144872x7wd: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/windows-arm-support.html. Our hardware forum is a good place for such questions. Sorry you are leaving the subscription behind, but do let us know if you need anything in the future.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Yes, I'm aware of that website. But that does not answer my question. Sad thing is, that is the only thing keeping me from renewing my subscription, yet I can't get a straight answer from anyone...

Happy new year, Kevin! Looking forward to checking out the new updates! I noticed enhanced speech, doesn't always work even on export the volume can go up and down, and it can sometimes sound good and sometimes sound very robotic. And what's happening with Gen AI for video in Adobe Premiere?

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the comment. Feel free to file a bug with a sample source file and screenshots of your settings. I hope the team can sort that out for you. I am not using the effect in Premiere Pro, preferring still for the browser based version on the podcast web app for now. Run a test and see if you can get a better result. The effect could use some improvement on device to reach par that the browser app is giving us, and we'd need to file a bug for that, as well. Some have suggested a "send to podcast ai" feature should be offered in the app, and I would certainly advocate for that feature.

 

Gen AI in Premiere Pro is an exciting area for editors with the release of Generative Extend already in Beta. I would look to Beta and the Beta forums for all the latest announcements.

 

I appreciate your comments.

 

Thanks!
Kevin
