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.

    Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in my feedback regarding the H.264 performance improvements in Premiere Pro v25.1.

     

    At this point, I'm just a hobbyist. I changed jobs and now do more print work. However, I currently use a MacBook Pro and previously used a Canon EOS R for my video projects. I used to edit in-house videos for internal use.

    The improvements to H.264 performance are truly impressive—compression and file size have always been excellent, and now it feels four times better. It's a game changer.

     

    Specific workflows where I noticed enhancements include smoother timeline playback with multiple layers of 4K clips and faster export times to H.264 format.

     

    Thank you for continuing to refine such customer-critical workflows. These updates make a big difference, and I appreciate your team's efforts to deliver them.

    Hi! When will the next version come out? Beta (25.3) has fixed a lot of the problems in 25.1, but we have been waiting for the next stable release for a long time now.

        For the first time in many years, Premiere Pro has not been updated for over 3 months, correct? Does anyone know when the next update is?

        Are clip label colors available to paste when copy / pasting attributes?

        And while on the rant, Adobe please make a half decent track mixer, with user presets,  plus a visually easy way to see which effects are active and which not (both are grey now with a tiny / on the disabled)....

        It's been over 90 days since the update was not made
        The bugs can't be solved, so when will they be updated?

        Please I want to test the next version and use the bug-free version

        If I have no doubt, updates should happen every 2 months, and the last one was in December, so the new version should come out in February, it's March and there is no update

        This new update has made my Premiere Pro app way way way more slow.

          Are you dual monitors on Windows? Is the scaling different on both monitors? Let us know.

           

          Thanks,

          I don't get it. Why does Adobe often, instead of improving things make them worse? For example, before we used to see the Premiere Pro version in the feature tab, now this info is nowhere; why? I had to search for it on Google to see what is the latest version, or go to the community page!

          Also, the highlight color in the audio worksapce for any effect activated was blue now, from grey to WHITE? Why? It's not noticeable as before. Why you keep screwing things that work and are just right, then make them worse? 

           

          One last thing, we repeatedly asked you to have the saved preference for metadata display in a dropdown list: icon, as in Avid (which they have since their inception). A very simple thing to do instead of right-clicking, then going to the saved preferences, then clicking ok.... Why do we have to go half the way around premiere when a simple dropdown list at the bottom of the project window would would be just right?

           

           Mod note: I had to correct your "all caps" yelling. Please don't type in all caps. Abide by our guidelines here.

            Can the background color of the title bar and menu bar of Pr be unified with the color of the software UI interface, and use the same color in dark mode. Now when the interface is set to black, the background color of the title bar and menu bar is white, which looks very abrupt and uncomfortable.

            Dear Adobe Premiere Pro Team,

            I hope this email finds you well. I am a professional video editor who frequently works with captions and graphics in Adobe Premiere Pro. Since updating to the 2025 version, I have encountered significant workflow inefficiencies due to changes in the Captions and Graphics panel, particularly when adjusting text properties such as font, size, and color.

            In the 2024 version, the layout of the Properties panel was more intuitive and allowed for faster access to essential text adjustments. However, in the 2025 version, the reorganization of these settings has disrupted my editing efficiency. Specifically, the new order of properties (e.g., Linked Style appearing above Text) has made frequent modifications cumbersome.

            I kindly request that Adobe consider providing an option to restore the 2024 text panel layout or allow users to customize the order of text-related properties within the Properties panel. This would greatly benefit professionals like me who rely on a streamlined workflow for efficient video editing.

            I appreciate Adobe’s continuous efforts to improve Premiere Pro, and I believe that allowing users more control over the UI layout would enhance usability without disrupting existing workflows.

            Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback. I look forward to your response.

            Best regards,

              I agree with this.

               

              In the Essential Graphics Panel the alignment controls were at the top where you could reach them in an instant.  In the Properties Panel all your users must scroll down.  It's not just for text--it's for all objects and graphics too.  This will add millions of hours to the Premiere community's workflow over time.  Every single editing project done in Premiere from now on will take at least a few minutes longer.

               

              It would seem like an easy change that would please everybody.  If that is impossible. please consider letting people choose in Preferences to bring back the Essential Graphics Panel.
