    Listen up!

    Even if the new Adobe v2026 is only half as bad as v2025 turned out to be.

    DO NOT UPGRADE!!!

    (EDIT: Sorry, should have added:
    YET, as you want other users to test it for you first)

    And remember to check Apps settings in your Creative Cloud Panel, as if you have done a new install recently, they reset themselves to “Auto-Update”.

    Hi. Would you mind explaining why? I’ve been working with Premiere for years and have had very few minor issues with 2025.

    I forgot to add: I run an M2 Ultra, Sequoia 15.7.1

    Hey Mark,

    I lost several projects, and had one corrupted with an unknown error on export, earlier this year. Not withstanding Bluescreen due to an alledged conflict between Adobe and NVidia kernel.

    If you look on this forum, and do a general search, you’ll notice that PPro are getting less and less stable for each version. And, 2025 IMHO was a real bad one.

    Most of the problems I put down to poor management of release of software, and the eagerness of including A.I..

    As you are on a Mac, and Apple is still playing catch-up on A.I., you might have fewer problems than a PC user.

    On PC I am finding Windows, NVidia and Adobe competing, up against numorous other A.I.s. This will become more interesting as first Avid announced large scale integration of third party A.I. vendors, and now Adobe appears to follow that trend.

    I did add to my post: “YET, as you want other users to test it for you first”

    And if you’re happy to do so, you should upgrade. But please do let the rest of us know how you get on.

    You can always go down a version, except don’t expect a 2026 project to open in an earlier version of Premiere Pro.
