Premiere Pro CC 15.2 running on 2020 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM - MacOS Big Sur 11.4

Memory leak starts immediately and skyrockets after any edit, making editing impossible after just minutes. What this means is I have to restart Premiere after nearly every edit. Massive hit to productivity.

You can see in the attached screen recording, at one point tonight Premiere maxed out the 8GB memory and then used upwards of 12GB of Swap Memory, which also negatively affects the lifespan of the non-replaceable SSD in this computer.

Fix this ASAP.

When modifying/editing captions on Premiere Pro, in order to avoid timing being out of sync during ingest on YouTube.com, a blank “bumper” caption must be added to the top of all caption sequences. This is only needed for .scc caption files as .srt seems to have no issues with maintaining the timing for each caption set by the captioner. It would be convenient to stick to .srt as the standard captioning file, however specific formatting that occasionally must be used (top-placing captions, italics, etc) are lost in .srt when uploading to YouTube.com. The metadata tags are translated incorrectly and odd characters can appear with .srt files on YouTube.com. So our team must fall back onto .scc.

In Premiere Pro, is there a function that I the captioner am otherwise unaware of that would protect the timing of a caption file as well as its formatting? Using the more recent version of Premiere I have noticed the way captions are produced is more intuitive and very similar to using mogrts. Because of this I wonder if the bumper caption is still needed or if it is, there is something in the new design of the captioning tool that would allow the bumper trick to be omitted.

A follow up style-focused question I have about the new captioning tool in regards to top-placing and bottom-placing within the captioning track. When I make a style adjustment, for example I make a caption top placed, it seems to make that change for every caption rather than just that one. It is not often needed but sometimes I do have to italicize a single word or phrase within a caption but cannot seem to do that with the new captioning tool. In the older version, top placing/italicizing specific captions and words without affecting the rest of the captions was fairly easy to do. Is this a function still available but just in a different location/or a different shortcut in the program?
In media accessibility it is very important to ensure all information is available to all viewers. There are times where a hashtag, link or disclaimer is in the lower third for a brief moment and I need to top place to avoid obscuring it but I don’t want that to force all the other captions to hang up in the top third for the rest of the video.

I recently upgraded to Mac M1 updated version of Premiere pro... works like a jiffy now.
Found out this problem recently which happens in few exports...
When I use a text animation graphic... and use ADD FRAME HOLD feature to extend the text all thru the timeline..... while working on premiere pro it doesn't show any issue... but once you export the video... there are duplicate images coming in the exported video (SCREENSHOT ENCLOSED).

The only work around I found for time being was to remove ADD FRAME HOLD portion of the Text graphic... and then COPY PASTE the graphic stacking multiple times... till end of timeline (which is tedious process)... but doing copy-paste instead of Add frame hold... worked for me... the DUPLICATE images didn't come this time while exporting.

Request Adobe team to look into this please.

The Warp Stabilizer tool should have built-in masking tools for users to be able to decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization! (i.e. ability to ignore from analysis certain moving objects that can throw stabilization out of whack.)

TIP You can already decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization!

But it takes a few steps:
1. Mask out parts of the clip you want Warp Stablizer to ignore using Opacity effect mask(s).
2. Nest masked clip.
3. Apply Warp Stabilizer to nest.
4. Once the clip is stabilized, open nest.
5. Turn off Opacity effect so entire clip can be seen again.
6. Exit nest.

Voilá! Near After Effects-level stabilization inside of Premiere Pro!

If Warp Stabilizer had built-in masking tools, those 6 steps above could be reduced to only 2 steps! Plus, this trick would be a lot more discoverable. As a bonus, it could potentially allow WS to analyze masked clips quicker, since it would have fewer moving pixels to analyze! This would be a win-win for users!

There are 2 ways the Effect Controls Window workflow could be greatly improved, simply by improving Snapping:

1. When moving the playhead to the end of a clip in the ECW, dragging a keyframe to the end, or jumping to the end with the 'Go to next edit point' shortcut, the playhead and/or keyframe should automatically snap to the beginning of the last frame rather than to the end of it. This way, the clip loaded in the ECW remains visible in the Program Monitor, rather than the ECW and Program Monitor jumping to the next clip!

2. When turning off 'Pin to Clip', it would be far more useful if the ECW automatically snapped to a zoom setting that allows all keyframes to be seen! This would save the user the trouble of using the scroll bar to go searching for keyframes that are outside the visible bounds of the clip.

See attached illustration for more info.

I started using the caption editor when I was approved for early access to the automatic transcription feature.
This feature is great, and I only need to make the occasional minor correction (usually proper nouns and punctuation), but the problem is that the text editor for the captions is...well, for lack of a better word, complete garbage.

It has a ridiculous amount of lag between a click and the action that click was supposed to perform actually taking place, and often it will seemingly randomly highlight sections of the text as I am typing, so an action as simple as changing a period to a comma will often result in all the text being deleted and replaced with the comma.

The editor also bounces around, scrolling unpredictably, so a double click on one text block, by the time the click is registered, will end up with you having made the wrong text block editable.

I thought this might have been specific to my machine, but upon doing some research, I don't appear to be the only person who has issues with Premiere's captions - this seems to have been an issue for a long time.

There are cases in news broadcasting where you can not make it in time for your news piece to air and you have to broadcast live from your timeline via SDI for example. In this case it would be helpful to have an option or a button to help make Premiere ready for that so when you know you are going to broadcast live from your Premiere timeline you can just press that button and it automatically suppresses every action that could interfere with your broadcast, for example auto-saving. This would help with the pressure of situations like this and we have this case regularly.

I really like what you all have done outside of the box and testing on day one. My two suggestions come from the options I have and use with otter.ai which is our current way to auto generate captions that I then clean up. 1. I didn’t see an option how to add speakers to the closed captioning from the transcript. I can do it on the transcript side but then making that into cc names were not included. 2. Give the option of the closed captioning to be 2 lines instead of one easily. I know I can go in there and combine and do return to make them two lines but with otter I can tell it make them to lines and it does without any additional work or time involved. This looks very promising thus far but the two above are what I need at my job to do the entire captioning process in Premiere. Thank you for listening.

We read all the forums and the threads here and everywhere else to help Media Manage footage out per network deliverables - without any errors. Has anyone been lucky enough to actually get to the end without an error? Not just today, but ever? Finally resorted to asking Adobe for help - and the answer is to upgrade to the newest version from last month - not that anything has changed in the Project Manager. But before we even attempt to help you, upgrade. Just completely unacceptable, as thousands of posts in the past X number of years make it clear that this feature is just plain useless. We are in 14.4, from in Sept 2020, not some ancient version from 1998. Has Prog Manager code been updated since then? The issue is Adobe just plain ignoring the fact that this feature DOES NOT WORK and doing nothing about it, but stringing its paying customers along.

Premiere Pro is hanging my system - 100% CPU usage when generating thumbnails in bin. Eventually it will go back down to normal usage, but if I try to do other things while this is populating it may cause my computer to BSOD. Last BSOD (this morning) was KERNELSECURITYCHECK_FAILURE
I should note that my system has 0 stability issues doing anything else except when using Premiere Pro.
This just started after the last update to Premiere Pro (15.0)-
This does not happen with 14.9
I am able to recreate the hanging and or crash by opening a folder and generating thumbnails.
This happens with 4K timelines, 1080 timelines and with 4K footage, and 1080 footage.
