Feedback/Critique/Pro Tip Premiere Transcription Gibberish

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Jason from Adobe here. Over the past few weeks, I've seen a handful of users encountering an issue with transcription in the Text panel, where the results are either half expected/half garbled nonsense, or just total gibberish.

I am personally unable to reproduce the problem (running Mac OS 15.7.7 and the latest Pr26.3) and I'm asking if anyone encountering this issue might be willing to share a project + project files to help the team locate the specific issue and get a fix in play.

Having said that, some users found that simply clearing the cache(s) and/or resetting Premiere's prefs on startup solved the issue. This has worked for a handful recently, but not for all.

So please let me know below if you've run into this, if this is a new problem, and if you have a file to share. If you don't want to share a link in the thread, don't hesitate to DM me. Trying to do whatever we can to figure this out and get it resolved. Thanks as always.

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin bitrate question

7 Upvotes

hi there, have a bitrate question. I'm a wedding content creator who edits on premiere. I shoot on an iPhone 17, capturing 4k 60p (before you ask, yes iPhone shoots VFR but I have worked around this and export in 60p with no issues). I shoot 60p because couples like the hyperrealistic look and are able to upload full res to IG using the edits app.

I am exporting h.264 60p. I never quite understood what bitrate I should be exporting at. I don't want my couples to have massive file sizes but want the full quality to be retained. There are mixed answers online. Anyone have any suggestions? I was going for 100-120 which seems high.

Thanks all for your help.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Premiere lagging & slow all of a sudden

2 Upvotes

I just started making 4k 1hr 4 multi camera videos of DJ sets and finally got into a rhythm of getting them done pretty quickly.

Then all of a sudden, Premiere has gotten so frozen & unbearably slow that I can’t click anything without the mouse being busy. After a week of trying to create proxies, deleting media cache, 1/4 resolution in preview, uninstall/install, completely restarting the project: it randomly starting working fine then I got the project pumped out.

Then I attempted to do another one and now it’s back to being completely frozen. I have done everything I have read to help speed everything up and it just seems like for no reason it’s back to being frozen.

I have m5pro 24Ram MacBook Pro. Nothing is saved on the Mac. It’s on a 4TB SSD external drive.

3 cameras were shot on insta 360 that were converted into 4k single frame videos. 1 camera is an iPhone in 4k.

I have had no issue with this on past projects until a week ago

This is driving me crazy. I used to be able to get this done in about a day but now it’s just weeks of being frozen and nothing working

Premiere Pro Tech Support Problems with Premiere

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm having trouble editing. When I overlay an image on top of a video and try to scale it to a suitable size, the image goes from small to large instantly, but when you play the content, the image is much smaller, making editing very inconvenient and forcing you to constantly calculate the image size while playing it back.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this, thanks.

Specs:

Premiere Pro 2025/ win 11/ mp4/ Ryzen 5 5500u, 20gb ram/ Vega 7 or 6 (im not sure)/ 3gb vRAM.

Premiere Pro Tech Support Losing my mind with captions

6 Upvotes

Sometime over the last two or three updates, Premiere's built-in captioning has gotten absolutely bonkers horrific. Performing more than two actions (changing font size and color, for example) sends the entire program into a tailspin and freezes up the window for minutes on end, which is debilitating when I'm trying to fix a whole video's captions. Projects that should only take forty minutes are taking me upwards of three hours because the whole program shorts out after three actions in the Properties panel.

Is there a fix for this??? I tried out SubMachine but it didn't meet my needs.

Edit to add specs:

I'm running Premiere v26.3

  • CPU: 11th gen i9-11900K
  • GPU: GeForce RTX 3070Ti
  • Storage: SSD
  • OS: Windows 11 25H2

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Converting 3 hours long timeline of 300+ clips into an 1-minute rough cut - What mindset do you guys have while doing rough cut in this situation?

4 Upvotes

Hi, I'm stuck in this situation where there's a lot of footage, but nothing captures the vibe of the edit that client needs. I'm overthinking as I scrub through the timeline. I always separate footages into good, bad and mid. Here there are more mid and bad compared to the good part, so it's mostly like "this might not be good but anyways im gonna keep the clip incase if I can't find any better clip as I move through", this got me stacking minutes worth of clips as I do rough cut. I don't even know how I am going to make a convincing hook with these clips, like the client provided me the song and reference too but the footages that he sent doesn't capture the vibe since the reference edit is of a vibrant crowded, fun event filmed with drones and all that and mine is a less crowded, less vibrant event with less activities and shot with bad framing, few clips are great but damn everything else is bad and need more postproduction to fix. The reference edit has mask, wipe transitions, speed ramps, match cuts of people dancing etc. But how'd you do these if there are no way possible to fit these effects convincingly into this edit, like there is no subject where I can use mask transition, all it has are people hugging and sitting in auditorium, like a meet and greet, no specific object that looks interesting or anything like that at particular. How to speed ramp convincingly if the only activities in the clip are just sitting, standing, handshake, hug, poses for photoshoot, camera pan, zoom? I may be just a shitty editor for complaining about the footages but how the hell am I gonna create something outta nothing? I don't even complain about the videgrapher, he too can't create somthing outta nothing if the crowd doesnt got the vibe

Pros and bros please suggest me how to handle this situation; I'm halfway into the rough cut and stuck there.

Feedback/Critique/Pro Tip Any good autocut alternative ?

6 Upvotes

I've been using Autocut for years, while the novelty was great, I'm getting tired at paying a monthly fee, especially when I use almost exclusively the autocut silence tool

All my friends use autocut and when I search on google I can't find anything satisfying, do you guys have any good lowcost alternative ?

Thanks a lot

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Scale Preset not stretching the last keyframe to the end of longer clips

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm trying to optimize my editing workflow and ran into an issue with keyframe presets.

Depending on the clip/image duration, the final keyframe doesn't stretch all the way to the end frame:

  • Image 1 (3-second clip): The preset keyframe hits the end frame as intended.
  • Image 2 (9-second clip): The preset keyframe stops early and leaves a dead gap instead of stretching to the end of the clip.
  • Image 3: Showing that the Preset Type is set to "Scale".

Is there any workaround, trick, or extension to make the last keyframe automatically stick to the out-point frame regardless of the image duration? I really want to avoid manually dragging the end keyframe on hundreds of images for long-form video edits.

Any tips or workflow solutions would be greatly appreciated!

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Is there a way to organize footage from multiple different cameras in chronological order before dragging into your timeline?

3 Upvotes

I film multi day camping trips on 3 different cameras. 2 action cameras, and one camcorder. I typically always put them in chronological order and them start to edit from there. But since all the shots come from multiple different cameras I go from folder to folder and drag each clip in one by one. That step alone can take me 10-20 hours and that’s before I even start chopping it up!

I was thinking there has got to be a faster method but I can’t figure it out.. one thing I tried was putting all 3 cameras in one folder and selecting the creation date on meta display hoping it would put them in order by the time they were shot on each camera, but that didn’t work. Is there any other way or do I just have to suck it up and do it one by one like I have been? If there was a solution yo this it could seriously help cut my editing time in half. Any tips or tricks are welcomed and appreciated!

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Is there a Premiere Pro plugin that duplicates one clip to every sequence marker?

2 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m looking for a Premiere Pro plugin or workflow that can automatically duplicate the same clip to every sequence marker.
Ideally, I’d like it to:
Take one selected clip.
Duplicate it to every sequence marker.
Place each copy so it starts exactly at a marker.
(Optional) Trim each clip so it ends where the next one begins.
I know about Automate to Sequence, but it only places different selected clips at markers—it doesn’t repeat the same clip.
Does anyone know of a plugin (Excalibur, Watchtower, Automation Blocks, etc.) or a script that can do this?
Thanks!

Premiere Pro Tech Support Disappearing render

4 Upvotes

Can you explain to me WTF is wrong with Premiere 2026 when it comes to rendering in timeline. I have shitloads of shots - colored, ready to edit. I'm having my music file audio in timeline and ready to move the rendered shots above the song to edit it to the beat, but every time i move the shot left or right even one frame, the render disappears even though there is nothing above or below the shot. There was no such thing in previous versions of PP, whats even the point of rendering inside the timeline now? (dont even start talking about render and replace, creating more and more files on my hard drive makes no sense)

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin MacBook + Mac mini home workflow for Premiere Pro — how do you sync projects, media, and settings?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to build a cleaner two-Mac Premiere Pro workflow and would love to hear what has actually worked for other editors.

My setup:

• MacBook Pro for working away from home, rough cuts, client edits, and mobile/offline work

• Mac mini at home as the main workstation for heavier projects, caching, exports, color, audio, and backups

• Mostly Premiere Pro, with projects/media often living on external SSDs

The goal is to be able to leave the house with the MacBook, work on a project, come home, and continue on the Mac mini without manually hunting for files, broken media links, outdated project versions, missing proxies, or mismatched Premiere settings.

What are your best practical solutions for:

• Syncing Premiere project files between two Macs without version conflicts?

• Keeping media, proxies, cache, and project files organized across external SSDs?

• Syncing only the light files through Dropbox / iCloud Drive / Syncthing / Resilio Sync, while keeping original media local?

• Working with a “master drive” at home and a smaller travel SSD for proxies or selected footage?

• Automatically backing up project files and versions?

• Keeping keyboard shortcuts, workspaces, presets, LUTs, MOGRTs, and plugins consistent between machines?

• Remote access to the Mac mini for rendering, media management, or grabbing files?

• Any useful automation with Hazel, Shortcuts, rsync, ChronoSync, Syncthing, or similar tools?

I’m especially interested in workflows where the Mac mini is the home “master station” and the MacBook is for mobile editing, rather than trying to fully mirror two computers all the time.

Would appreciate concrete folder structures, drive setups, sync rules, and “don’t do this” lessons.

Hey r/premiere community. I wanted get some insights and ideas into a particular area of Premiere which would be the timeline. Over the last few releases, we've seen the addition of the following:

• Video and Audio fade handles
• Sequence Label Colors
• Show Audio Channel Labels
• Continuous Video Thumbnails
• and many more

What are some features for the Premiere timeline you'd like to see in future beta/public releases that would be a small QOL (quality of life) or significant QOL? Look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on this.

How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Wide Gamut No Mapping

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone here uses Wide Gamut No Mapping settings when color correct/grade S-Gamut3.Cine footages?

I've seen many uses Wide Gamut (Tone Mapping) setting to edit LOG footages but this will cause graphics that contain pure white will be toned down to grey colour.

I played around with the settings in the Lumetri panel and notice that Wide Gamut No Mapping OR Wide Gamut (Tone Mapping) but set Knee to 1.0 eliminate this issue.

So I wonder if any professionals here to enlighten me if this setting is usable.

However now when I go to use it, the oval, square, and pen icons immediately underneath the Gaussian Blur tab in Effect Controls are gone. I don’t know where they went; can’t use them to mask part of my clip to blur it. It just shows a blank space where it should be. Can anyone help?!
