WARNING: PPro Version 26.2.2 (Build 3) gives you more time to watch paint dry…
Just heads up:
Adobe, with the latest version of Premiere Pro 26.2.2 (Build 3), appears to have rolled it back.
Instead of fixing bugs, it is now crashing all over the place.
Currently editing MP4 footage with ProRes intro and outro – nothing too tasking.
I am on Windows 11, intel Core Ultra 9 processor, 64GB RAM, NVidia RTX 5090, 5th Gen SSD and 5th Gen data-bus/Thunderbolt.
In my last interaction with Adobe support, they were as useless as ever, as they are not capable of understanding simple explanations.

Sorry, no help on my end, but I can’t wait to experience that 🙁
Waiting to receive our updated workstation, as the previous one was 7+years old. The new unit has Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285K (3.70GHz, Turbo 5.70GHz); 96GB DDR5-5600 MHz; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB; Windows 11 Professional.
I have not updated Premiere for ~18 months due to how updates were affecting our workstation.
It appears likely we will have the same issues – even before we get the new one up and running. 🤬

i’d be cautious about updating a production machine straight to 26.2.2, especially mid-project.
if you do need to test it, i’d keep the previous Premiere version installed and run a small duplicate project first. same footage, same plugins, same export preset. that way you can compare render/export time without risking the real job.
also worth testing with:
– one ProRes/DNxHR transcode
– GPU acceleration on/off
– third-party plugins disabled
– media cache cleared to a fast local drive
not exciting advice, but version testing on a throwaway project has saved me more than once.

Hey Mert,
Thank you for your insights.
Sorry for the late response, but I’ve been on a job.
“i’d be cautious about updating a production machine straight to 26.2.2, especially mid-project.”
For clarity, I was told not to update to point releases which I normally don’t do anyway, except v25.X gave nothing but problems.
Even so when support emailed me, I followed their intial advice:
“To ensure you have the most stable editing environment while we finalize the upcoming version 26.1, we recommend using Adobe Premiere 25 for the time being.”v26.1 turned out to be as bad as v26 had been reported to be.
Hence I eventually ended up on 26.2.2 (Build 3).The big issue with Adobe is that returning the project to a previous full-point release, say go from v26.X to v25.x is not really optimal.
However, over the last couple of days I’ve had constructive conversations with both Adobe technical support and accounts.
For clarity: When updating, I always have the project version file to fall back on.
