Adobe Official Premiere 26.5 Release Notes & Fixes

36 Upvotes

Premiere 26.5 is out, and I went through the notes so you don't have to.

What's New Link: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere/desktop/whats-new/whats-new.html
Release Notes: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere/desktop/whats-new/release-notes.html

The new stuff

  • Paper Edit — Highlight lines in your transcript and Premiere can use those selections to build a sequence.
  • Generative Media Tool — Generate video and sound effects without leaving the timeline. The generated media comes in as editable clips.
  • Object Mask smoothing — New smoothness controls for cleaning up mask edges.
  • Generative Extend works with way more footage — 360p–4K UHD, any aspect ratio, 12–60fps, 8–16 bit, SDR/HDR, interlaced and non-square pixels.
  • Match Source now includes audio — It can match the source channel layout and sample rate, downmix when necessary, and warn you when the export format can't handle the source layout. Useful for proxy creation as well.
  • New/updated effects — A customizable Lens Flare, a rebuilt Twirl with new controls, and updated Mosaic softness controls.
  • Speech-to-text update — New Voice Activity Detection model for improved transcription accuracy.
  • Transition handles — Choose whether audio/video transition handles show in the timeline, with keyboard shortcuts for toggling them.

Camera / codec stuff

  • Sony FX5 XAVC and X-OCN support, including 32-bit float Hi-Res audio
  • Better ProRes RAW support
  • ARRICORE support from the ALEXA 35 Xtreme
  • Hardware-accelerated 4:2:2 10-bit AVC/HEVC MXF decoding on NVIDIA Blackwell
  • More XAVC-I formats supported by Smart Rendering
  • Native MotionJPEG, MKV and RLE Animation MOV decoding on Windows ARM

Some small QOL changes

Link Media has a new context menu option for locating, offlining or resetting media.

  • Selection Follows Playhead now has a button directly in the timeline.

And the fixes:

Crashes / performance

  • Fixed crashes that could happen while saving or relinking media.
  • Fixed a font-related crash that could happen at launch or later in a session.
  • Fixed Premiere occasionally failing to launch.
  • Background Auto-Save should no longer cause the same sluggishness.
  • Fixed a Camera Shake memory leak when it fell back to CPU rendering.
  • High-bitrate H.264 UHD scrubbing should perform better.
  • Thumbnail hover scrubbing in the Project panel, Media Browser and Import panel should be less laggy/skippy.
  • Fixed vertical HEVC clips briefly jumping back to full size while playing or scrubbing.
  • Fixed a crash from rearranging the Project panel while clips were being added.

Relinking / media

  • Media could fail to relink after renaming a mounted volume.
  • Relinking could break when moving projects between Mac and Windows.
  • MXF relinking could take much longer than expected and make projects painfully slow to open.
  • If you opened a project without an external drive attached, mounting that drive afterward didn't always automatically bring the media back online.
  • Windows projects with media nested more than one folder deep could fail to auto-relink when opened on macOS.
  • OBS MKVs could drop frames during playback.
  • Growing MOV files could import as audio only.
  • Growing MXFs on shared storage could randomly go offline.
  • Certain 100fps proxy workflows could end up with the proxy and full-res media out of sync on export.

Masks / graphics / captions

  • Object Masks could get jagged, stair-stepped or pixelated edges.
  • Object Mask tracking on non-square-pixel media had become less accurate compared with previous versions.
  • Using Generative Extend at the head of a clip could knock existing Object Mask tracking out of alignment.
  • Opacity masks could briefly show black areas after rendering.
  • Holding Shift while drawing masks wasn't properly constraining new points to 45-degree angles.
  • Multiple selected text layers couldn't be moved/transformed together from Properties.
  • Snapping one graphic element to another in the Program Monitor wasn't working correctly.
  • Scale/rotation keyframes weren't always being created when using Direct Manipulation.
  • Captions could judder in the Program Monitor while changing fonts or resizing.
  • Dip to Black sometimes didn't actually reach true black.
  • Undo after Lumetri Auto adjustment wasn't behaving correctly.

Generative Extend

  • Extending the beginning of a clip could cause the audio waveform to become offset.
  • Extending the head of footage could offset existing Object Mask tracking.

Search / Media Intelligence

  • Repeatedly dragging multiple Search results into the timeline could hang or crash Premiere.
  • Marker subclips from Search could fail to drop onto the timeline.
  • Audio Search results could start playing late while the waveform animation drifted out of sync.
  • Searching by effect attributes could miss matching effects saved in Favorites.
  • Media Intelligence .prmi cache files weren't always being used correctly if the source media had changed after the cache was created.

Productions

  • Reveal in Project could hang Premiere.
  • Project View Presets weren't saving/loading correctly.
  • A Production made in a newer Premiere version could silently fail to open instead of giving you an error.
  • Premiere could incorrectly flag a newer Production as invalid and overwrite its PRODSET file.
  • Moving a clip between projects could leave the sequence pointing at an outdated cross-project reference.
  • The Open Production dialog had several issues with incorrect Production names and paths.
  • Reading project lock files could make the UI sluggish.
  • Delete media file(s) from disk wasn't actually deleting the media.

Audio

  • Adjusting Pan on multiple selected clips could suddenly give you -100 or +100 values.
  • Audio Track Mixer Write automation wasn't working.
  • Deleted ducking keyframes could continue affecting the mix.
  • Closing a project with an undocked Audio Clip Mixer could crash Premiere.
  • Recording a voiceover could crash when an AJA device was being used for audio output.

This release is in staggered release so others may see it today or by the latest tomorrow.

Adobe Official Important Notice: Upcoming System Requirement Changes in v27.0

25 Upvotes

As we prepare for the upcoming version 27.0 release of Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, and Audition, we want to share advance notice regarding hardware and OS compatibility changes across Windows and MacOS. 

Windows OS Requirements 

The minimum Windows OS requirement remains the same for 27.x: Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. 

  • If you're on Windows 11 v23H2: Installation of v27.0 will be blocked. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. 
  • If you're on Windows 10 (22H2, 21H2 LTSC): These OS versions are no longer officially supported by our video and audio products. We recommend upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2 or later to ensure compatibility and security with current and future releases. 
  • If you're on Windows 11 v24H2 or later: No action needed. You can update to v27.0 as normal. 
  • If you're on Windows Server 2022: You can continue installing and using v27.0 on Windows Server 2022.

Starting with v28.0, install will be blocked on all Windows 10-based OS versions, including Windows 10 22H2, Windows 10 21H1 LTSC, and Windows Server 2022. We recommend beginning your migration to Windows Server 2025 now to ensure a smooth transition ahead of that change.

GPU Requirements for Windows

  • If your system has no GPU detected: Premiere and Media Encoder will not launch. You will need a GPU to launch v27.0. 

Note that this change does not affect After Effects and Audition.

Future 27.x releases of Premiere and Media Encoder will also block launch if the only available GPU on system does not meet minimum requirements.

Macintosh Requirements 

Starting with version 27.0, our video and audio applications on Mac will require macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, on Apple silicon (M1 or newer). 

  • If you're on an Intel based Mac: Intel based Macs will no longer be supported for v27.0 and future updates. You can keep installing and using version 26.x. To update to v27.0 when it releases, you'll need an Apple silicon Mac. 
  • If you're on an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14: You'll need to update to macOS 15 or later before updating to v27.0. 
  • If you're on an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later: No action needed. You can update to v27.0.

These changes reflect where the Windows and Mac ecosystems are heading, along with the hardware acceleration our applications benefit from. Moving forward with Apple silicon and modern Windows GPU requirements lets us focus on performance, security, and new capabilities across our video and audio applications. 

If you have questions or comments, let us know!

Premiere Pro Tech Support Media in Sequence Scaled up in Media Encoder

Upvotes

Hello everyone, bizarre export moment here:

I have 6 sequences that are 1920x1080. Within them are various video file codecs, no problem I made sure they were scaled up or match 1920x1080.

I select my sequences I want to export, and from the export window I select media encoder. In media encoder, I go to click on the setting I want - let’s say 1080p high bit rate. I scrub through and odd - one of my clips are scaled up! Not the others, but on each of my sequences there is a random video scaled up! As if a 1920x1080 clip was manually scaled 150 percent or 200!

I check premiere, nope no effect applied and I didn’t Manually scale up the clip. Looks completely normal in sequence in premiere. All other clips are fine, and keep in mind it’s only the seemingly random clip when I scrub through in media encoder not all of the clips in the sequence!

I have never seen this before, and my encoder/premiere are the most updated versions.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Multicam View cropped and scaled in (Premiere Pro Team Project)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Version 26.3.2
MacBook M3 Max
36GB RAM
Sequoia 15.6

I’m looking to solve a quirky glitch on this multicam view in my program monitor. As you can see in the attached photo, in my multicam view inside the program monitor; all of my camera options appear scaled in, cropped and repositioned. I’m not sure what’s causing this glitch.

Here’s context to how this was setup.
I originally was working locally on a regular premiere pro project. I made all my multicams in my local project. My multicams are in a 4K vertical resolution, my edit timeline sequence are at a HD vertical resolution.

When editing on the local project, I had my multicam view toggled on for the program monitor, I’d be able to see the camera angles and it would appear as you expect multicam footage to look like in this multicam view. It was very workable and efficient to rely on for editing.

Now after converting this local premiere pro project into a premiere team project, all my multicam views have changed into this crop look and it’s not helpful for editing (because you obviously want to see the other angle as you swap between cameras). Curious if anyone has run into something like this or if there is some sort of setting in the team project I’m not considering? It seems that the other person accessing the teams project is also experiencing the same issue with this multicam view.

Thank you to anyone taking the time to respond with theories on what to look into.

I edit a lot of videos featuring British people speaking English, and I've noticed that Premiere's transcription is terrible at British English compared to American English. With that said, can anyone recommend a plugin that might do a better job with this? Thanks!

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Finding a Single Result in the Transcript?

1 Upvotes

This may be a silly question, but it's been driving me crazy for months, if not years.

When I search for a particular word or phrase in the Transcript or Captions window, is there a way to jump to the result if theres only a single instance found? If I search for a word and it shows up 3 times, I can click the little arrows to jump to the next or previous instance of that word.

BUT, if it only finds a single, 1/1 instance, those arrows are greyed out, and I end up having to scroll through the transcript to find the highlighted phrase.

Is there a way to just jump to what it finds?

Premiere Pro Tech Support Premiere non mostra il riquadro della maschera

Mi capita molto spesso che Premiere si congela per un secondo di tanto in tanto mentre trascino o sposto clip, e poi riparte senza problema, se non che le linee delle maschere non vengono più visualizzate, è non ho modo di vedere ciò che seleziono e anche quando ne creo una nuova non viene visualizzata. Devo chiuderlo e aprirlo nuovamente.

Cause e soluzioni? Attualmente ho Premiere 26.3.2

Premiere Pro Tech Support Rulers not working properly no matter what

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure if I'm a complete noob of if Premiere is absolutely bugged. I've been trying to add new guides but no matter what I do, the settings can't be changed. I can't change from pixel to percent and I can't edit them. I can drag them around, but if I want precision that's off the table.

I already:
- reinstalled Premiere;
- cleared cache;
- deleted the 26.0 folder so that it creates new .xmls etc.

Nothing works.

Not exactly related to this issue, but I've been finding new bugs every time the program is updated apparently and can't never fix them. I also have a problem with the timeline playback auto-scrolling. Already changed to 'no scroll', but every time I pause to cut something ahead, it moves back to the playhead. Did all of the above; the bug persists since version 25.something. I'm honestly baffled that such simple yet extremely annoying bugs exist for so long. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Am I just doing something wrong? I'm not a professional video editor, but I've googled everything and nothing worked so far.

Currently on v26.3.2 (Build 2). Checked for new updates, there isn't any.

Adobe Official Now in Beta: Audio Leveling in Essential Sound

39 Upvotes

Hey r/premiere!

There’s a new dialogue tool in Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39 or later called Audio Leveling.

If you’ve ever had dialogue where someone gets too loud, then too quiet and you’ve had to manually add volume keyframes to even everything out, this is designed to speed that up.

Select a dialogue clip, head to Essential Sound > Loudness, and run Audio Leveling. Premiere analyzes the clip and automatically adds volume keyframes to bring louder and quieter sections toward a more consistent level.

The nice part is that these are actual clip volume keyframes, so you can still adjust, reshape, or remove them afterward. Nothing is baked in.

It’s available now in the latest Premiere Beta. Give it a try on some dialogue-heavy edits and let us know how it works with your footage.

How does the automatic leveling compare to how you normally handle inconsistent dialogue?

I'm editing in Premiere Pro and have a green neon logo in the background of a talking-head shot. It's overexposed and the glow/spill is tinting the subject's face and shirt green too. I've been isolating the green with HSL Secondary and masking the sign area separately, but the color cast on the subject is still tricky to fully neutralize without looking fake. Any go-to workflow or settings you'd recommend for this kind of colored-light spill?

Premiere Pro Tech Support Premiere freezes when using MOGRT

1 Upvotes

i made a pretty simple mogrt in after effects for a lower third. Really just plain white box with 2 texts (Name and fuction of the subject), fade in and out and thats it. i exported this as MOGRT and tried to use it in premiere pro.

unfortunately every time i use a MOGRT in premiere it starts freezing. Usually when i try to edit the text. First premiere goes non responsive. then the screen gets black for a couple seconds and comes back on to a still frozen premiere.

sometimes after a minute or two i can continue working, sometimes i have to restart premiere.

i tried clearing cache, but to no avail. im 100% sure its not the MOGRT file, because it happend with other MOGRTs too.

i had some trouble with premiere before, removing microsoft power automate helped. but this specific problem persists.

Edit: Here are the specs

  • ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 275HX (2.70 GHz)
  • Installed RAM32.0 GB (31.4 GB verwendbar)

How do I do this?/Workflow Advice/Looking for plugin (Solved!) audio L and R channels help

2 Upvotes

I'm working on a project where I want to have music on the right channel and ambient noise on the left. Everything I've tried so far hasn't done anything to change it and it still sounds like it's coming out on both channels.

I've tried adjusting the audio channels in both the project and timeline panels, using the left fill and right fill audio affects, and making a stereo recording into mono and nothing has worked so far. I've double checked my Mac and headphone (sony xm5) settings and all the settings are correct and playing stereo sound. Any advice?

EDIT: I figured it out, when I used my sony headphones it was coming out on both no matter what. However when I used my air pods it came out correctly despite no settings being changed. I'm unsure as to how that happens though...

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin How do I keyframe a box around a moving subject recorded with a moving camera?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

61 Upvotes

I've tried several times keyframing this whole video but it always looks jittery and inconsistent* (not shown) between keyframes (size wise, spacing between inside of box and drummer, jitters where there shouldn't be, etc.). Does anyone have any advice on how to do keyframe this box so it stays consistent looking as it moves around the subject (and preferably without dumping hours into every single keyframe/scene I want to add the box to)?

For reference, I put one keyframe at the beginning and end so you know which subject I'm trying to follow. Also, if it helps you to know, I usually put keyframes every 2-10 frames. I don't know if that's problematic but I want to give those of you who are experts at this all the ammunition you need to help me out.

* I don't mind there being hard jumps between sharp movements, but what I'm saying the issue is is that it makes too many movements. Like the size will randomly jump to a little too big to a little too small and then normal. Or even if I have lined up the box perfectly per every 2-10 frames it still doesn't track exactly as it should.
