This document lists the customer reported issues that were fixed in each release.
Fixed issues in the April 2025 release (version 25.2)
- When you import files into Premiere Pro, it automatically checks for Content Credentials. If you want to skip this scanning process, you can adjust the settings in the Media section of the application preferences. The option to scan assets for Content Credentials on-demand will be available in a future update. So, if you turn off this preference now, Premiere won't recognize the Content Credentials in your files and won't be able to keep them when you export.
- Vimeo has updated its policy. Password-protected sharing is now only available for paid or upgraded accounts and is no longer offered for free accounts.
- Batch Exporting sequences with captions results in missing burnt in captions.
- Parallel encoding didn't pause correctly.
- Exporting an audio-only source to audio/video file ignores export effects.
- Encoding workflows using RAW media file sources in Premiere Pro and Media Encoder with the AutoDetect Log Video ColorSpace option enabled encountered memory management issues.
- Ingest Preset doesn't show Format in the Preset Panel.
- Media Encoder didn't show the correct proxy preset name, selected frame, or whether a watermark was applied.
- Watch folder: The After Effects project with two compositions will be moved to the Source folder before encoding finishes.
- When encoding ProRes or QuickTime files, the creation date is correctly set to the present day.
- Exported videos can incorrectly include metadata, indicating the videos were created in Photoshop.
- In macOS 15, a prompt may appear at the launch, indicating that the application wants to access data from the other apps.
- For files with subtitles, Media Encoder would also burn them in regardless of the caption export option selected.
- Whatever is the adaptive bit rate preset (high, medium, or low) in the video setting, the bit rate remains the same during export.
- The issue of frame aspect ratio linking or unlinking in the video settings is fixed.
Fixed issues in the June 2024 release (version 24.5)
- Various performance improvements on open dialogs (New Encoding Preset, Export Settings, Ingest Dialog) for macOS.
- Video effect manager in AME does not list fxFactory effects on Mac.
- Improved Enhance Speech results for low audio levels.
- Korean users on a Windows OS could crash when selecting the "MP2" Audio Codec under Waveform Audio's export settings.
- Data entered in the Export Metadata dialog is now retained when exiting and re-entering Export mode.

- Failure to copy-ingest in Media Encoder with folder-based media such as Sony HDV and Canon XFHEVC
- No offline media warning when importing an After Effects composition
- Media Encoder ignores startTime in encoderWrapper.setWorkArea if no audio exists
- Exports with Adaptive Bitrate Presets have different file sizes in Dynamic Link vs. Native Import mode
- HEVC encodes using Main10 profile and software encoding export options, resulting in an application crash. Mainly affects 2023 Mac models, with M3, M3 Pro or M2, M2 Pro chips.
- Smart renders using Dolby Hybrik generated QT ProRes source files experienced extremely long export times.
Fixed issues in the March 2024 release (version 24.3)
- Audio preparation for Premiere Pro projects with many audio files takes an extremely long time.
- Fixed various performance issues related to many files in the queue.
- Some AVC Intra files were not correctly released after use, causing multiple issues, such as the watch folder feature in Adobe Media Encoder not correctly moving files after encoding.
- Interlaced footage loses field 2 in Media Encoder when using DynamicLink.
- System could go to sleep while the queue is running, which stops all further encoding.
- Artifacts present when rendering AVI files with Alpha Channel.
Fixed issue in the December 2023 release (version 24.1.1)
- A crash results when attempting to import some ARRI, AVCHD, Canon XF, Panasonic P2, Canon RAW XDCAM EX, or XDCAM HD clips when ingest-copy is enabled.
Fixed issue in the December 2023 release (version 24.1)
- Third-party audio effects in a Premiere Pro sequence would fail to render in Media Encoder when Import sequences natively are turned on.
