Premiere and After Effects 2021 start leaking memory as soon as they are opened.
It doesn't matter what project is open. There can be no projects open, but they start leaking memory immediately. I open activity monitor and the memory just keeps going up indefinitely.

This originally started on Mojave. I tried upgrading to Catalina, same issue. I am now on Big Sure, same issue.
This basically makes these programs completely unusable.

VERSIONS SEEMINGLY AFFECTED:
Premiere 14.9 and later
After effects 17 and later

I have tried:
- updating Mac OS
- reinstalling OS
- formatting hard drive, reinstalling OS
- uninstalled premiere/after effects
- uninstalled creative cloud
- used adobe creative cloud cleaner to uninstall everything

COMPUTER SPECS
Mac OS Big Sur 11.3
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019)
2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB

I have had a bug across the last few versions of Premiere Pro. It occurs in some projects but not others and appears to happen at random. All instances are editing footage from the same 7 cameras, regardless of file format. (h264, prores 422HQ, HEVC etc.)

At some point the UI seems to break, causing the following issues.

Effect Controls: Can't click on effect controls to make adjustments

Timeline: When dragging clips to the timeline or moving clips on the timeline the clip disappears under the mouse pointer until the mouse is released at which point it reappears

Lumetri - Sliders do not move when dragged but adjustments still appear on the clip

This has occurred across at least the past 3 updates of Premier Pro, current version is 15.2.0. Resizing windows within the UI sometimes fixes the problem for one click.

I'm trying to simply import a graphic into Premiere and put it on the timeline, and when I do, I can't see the playhead when I try to click anywhere on the timeline, and won't show the scrubbing of the video. When I remove the graphic from the timeline, everything's OK again. I tried with different graphics, different formats (JPG, PNG, PSD), all "normal" size graphics for HD for crying out loud, nothing crazy like 32000 pixels or anything - although your software should be able to handle anything in 2021. You've had the ability to import graphics for YEARS - HOW COULD YOU BREAK THIS?? I swear, if DaVinci Resolve could import vector graphics I'd be back in a heartbeat.

Scrolling through media browser starts eating memory and crashes shortly. I can reproduced this 4-5 times and also took a video of it. https://youtu.be/oKX-4ZFoTR8

Version: 15.4
Step by step: Open a drive in media browser (mine had lots of big files in root folder) and start scrolling until crash.
OS: windows 10 Enterprise 21H1
Hardware, Ryzen 5900X, Nvidia RTX 2070, scrolled files on a USB 3 drive

I do not have logs, but I did send this also via crash report tool, as sometimes it completely crashes and sometimes it gives the crash report option. I can try things out if needed.

This does not happen all the time. I can't tell what causes it to start, but once the problem manifests itself, it is there 100% of the time until I reboot. It then doesn't happen again for a while.

This happens with Premiere Pro 2020 AND the Premiere Pro Beta, both kept up to date.

The issue is this: If Premiere Pro is running, any application or window that has the focus will lose it within a 1-2 seconds, max. If I quit PP, the problem goes away. It does not matter which other apps are currently running (or not). This only happens when PP is running.

When I start PP, the problem begins a short while before the application is done starting up. When I end it, the problem goes away as soon as PP is exited (the process is no longer visible in the task manager).

Functionality in PP is not impeded as such - I can do most things. However, once the window loses focus, any open menus will close etc., so it is extremely difficult to actually get anything done.

I will record a video of this happening and post it shortly.

The ONLY known way to stop PP from doing this is to reboot.

Latest version of the NVIDIA Studio driver is installed. OS and all apps kept up to date.

Since interview are mostly multicams. and a critical type of sequence for the transcriptiuons meta data search feature to work on properly. the use of the meta data to search something the editor recolects being said - type it into the text field and have it jump to that spot in the time line is brilliant. But it does not ye work properly where it is perhaps needed most : In Multicam interview sequences. Usining markers and generating them ect. takes a lot of time - this feature is awesome - I had to delete all from my project for my project to run smoothly - 1075H processor 32gb ram 24gb ram allocated rtx2070super - cache to 1tb external SSD (less than half full. media and project on seperate 1000mbs ssd

Premiere Pro made the render successfully once, but I rerun the same render a second time, then a third and it stops half way.

I checked my computer performance process, nothing wrong during the render. In the attachment, the two files are the exact same video rendered (I just added 30 seconds at the end of the second), but the second it slightly smaller (and shorter) than the first, though the explorer tells the duration is fine.
The second will stop reading at 29'39" which leads to nothing in the project.
No effect, no color grading, as you can see on the second attachment.
Actually, I can't make the render of my project, which is some kind of frustrating.
