Adobe Premiere

Bizarre story. Editing a project was fine until I selected the automask tool in Premier 26.02.  Computer crashed. Several attempts just to open the Project again  resulted in complete PC crashes. Created a new project and attempted to import the old project resulted in another crash.  I then attempted to import footage into the new project. The PC crashed.Finally the PC was locked in a recovery loop. Eventually had to reinstall Windows 11.Reinstalled Adobe Cloud and Premiere . Now Premier opens but crashes the moment I import footage whether audio or video. Having now had a series of crashes,  I am getting the Windows recovery screen again. I am now a little nervous.  Machine is an XPS Dell 8930 with 32GB memory and a RTX 2020 Graphics card with 6Gb. 1 TB SSD drive with 3GB WD  HDD.Ran the Dell online tests all good. Footage (Canon D7) imports into KDENLIVE happily but my project with captions is in Premiere.  

Use the template below to provide us with information: Issue – Aucune image affichée sur arrêt video. Steps to reproduce – quelque soit l’endroit de la vidéo, si je fais un arrêt sur image, l’écran est noir.  Expected result – normalement dans la fenêtre Edition on voit l’image. Actual result – voir la video en PJ.  Adobe Premiere Pro version – 26.0.2 (build 2) Operating system – Apple M2 Ultra Studio 26.3.1 (a) Video format – issue is related to video playback 3488 × 2616HEVC. Comparative information helps us understand more about when the issue occurs:  All projects  avec la nouvelle version j’en profite pour dire que la langue est passée en Anglais sur les menus   

I copy/pasted this title from another user from two years ago because it’s still not solved.When I jump from workspaces (from my editing presets to color for example), all the bins in my project file close. I always have these bins open for a reason, perhaps I’m working in sub-bins for only one scene or part of a project. Having to reopen them every time I go into another workspace is so unnecessary. Please leave the project window alone when I switch workspaces!

I just want to create a simple fade in and out for text layers using opacity key frames, but they are not rendering. The text appears and disappears without the fade effect.  I have no other effects on the layers. I tried clearing cache, rendering in/out, and nesting (which I shouldn’t have to do), and unchecking “composite in linear color”, but nothing works.  This used to work until a month ago. 

I have a merged source where I have combined audio track with video (due to studio outputting wrong/bad files) and using these merged sources in my edit. I have just noticed that these new clips have separate tracks (L/R) where if I need to edit volume I have to do it to both audio tracks. But another video source (see image below) one track has L/R. How do I change the audio tracks for A1 and A2 to be like A3 in one track only? 

I’ve been running into an issue with the search bar at the top of the Project Panel. At times, I’ll enter a word that I know exists in the project (in a sequence name, clip name, or metadata), and Premiere returns no results. However, if I manually navigate through the bins, I can clearly find the item. This isn’t a one-off….it happens intermittently and makes the search function feel unreliable. Is this a known bug, or is there something about how the Project Panel search works that I might be missing?

I exported a project and upon review there are several cases of incorrect footage being exported.  I dug further into the file and for the files that were not exporting correctly then took them offline.When I look at the source window in the upper left, the offline media shows up as a green screen, it knows that it is offline.However, in the timeline clip (and what is being exported) is an entirely different file.  The project should be showing me a blank screen with no footage but it’s gone ahead and found some and just stuck it in.  Does anyone know what is happening or how I might fix it?

Media Encoder Export Crashes Premiere Beta V 26.3.0. Every time I use it - short key or through the menus 

How do I disable GPU acceleration here? Premiere won't let me switch to "software only".

I am working on a script that can change selected multicam or sequence video frame size settings.Gemini Ai is not being as reliable as I would have hoped, so maybe some can tell me where I am going wrong.Thank you 

I use Lightroom Classic as my initial catalog. I import footage by date and tag photos and videos with keywords in Lightroom. I then edit photos in Lightroom and video in Premiere. I’d like to know if there’s a way for Premiere to read the Lightroom keyword metadata so I can view or search by those keywords in Premiere. My goal is to have search bins in Premiere that automatically populate based on these keywords. Is there any field in Premiere’s metadata that can sync or read Lightroom keywords? Any workflow tips appreciated!

Hey all, Quick question — screenshot attached.  IMG_4403.MOV is an iPhone 16 Pro Max clip In all my sequences, its audio behaves normally: both channels show on A1 (single track) I synced it with a DJI lav on A2, sliced the beggining and end, and created a Merge Clip. Problem:The merged clip splits the camera audio as follows: A1 = left A2 = right A3 = lav  I am trying to get the Merged Clip audio to follow the original format: scratch audio on A1, lav audio on A2.  I’ve tried to look into it on my own but I can’t figure it out. Please and thanks :) Screenshot:The clip on the left shows the highlighed clips that were selected when I clicked Merge Clips, as well as the dialog popup as it appeared before I clicked OK. Then, further to the right on this timeline, I pulled the Merged Clip in to show the audio track issue.  

As the title states. This morning after updating I was simply trying to cut a video file over top to stay at it’s preferred frame. Once I cut the layer at the preferred point I right clicked to Add Frame Hold, yet no matter what I did the frame would not hold. It would either create another cut and not frame hold, or it would do nothing and not frame hold. Other users in the past recommended right clicking and Clicking Ok once you click on Hold Frame Options, but that did not work as intended either. Obviously an easy work around is to just take a snapshot of the preferred layer at the preferred time and reimport it, but the frame hold saves me several clicks and is easier for project hand off.  

I went to go nudge an audio clip in the timeline by one frame using alt+left/right yesterday (like I always do) and it is no longer working. The keyboard shortcut for nudging a clip by five frames left and right still works, and nudging up and down still works, but not nudging one frame left or one frame right. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere, resetting the original settings, etc. and nothing works. Is this a user error or a bug?

I set-up lots of premiere projects from scratch and was wondering if Automation Blocks could run a script which will set-up a custom order bin structure within in premiere projects? Example:00 SQs(sub bins) 01 SYNC > 02 STRINGOUTS > 03 Current Edits > 04 Delivery01 Rushes02 Audio(sub bins) Music03 GFXS(sub bins) Logos > Sub Styles04 Stock(sub bins) Artlist 

Has anyone figured out why Premiere Pro doesn't seem to recognize the "Creation Date" metadata for DJI Mic 2 files, despite MacOS recognizing it? (see pics that show the discrepancy). Is there is any fix for this? As of now, Premiere just shows a blank metadata field, and I am trying to fix that. Thank you folks! 

Bug Report: Missing Mask Tools (iOS) Problem: The Masking tools (Ellipse, Rectangle, Pen) have completely disappeared in Premiere Pro 2026 on iOS. Location: Missing in both Opacity and Crop effects, across all tabs (Source and Clip settings). Comparison: In the 2025 version, these tools worked perfectly. In the current 2026 version, the icons are gone. Customer Feedback: I am a paid subscriber, and encountering such a major flaw in a paid product is a huge disappointment. I feel misled by this update. Expectation: Restore the Mask selection (Pen/Shapes) icons in the Effect Controls immediately.
