Main limitations in Adobe CC 2026 versions:
Premiere Pro - See Media Encoder note below for information on remote export compatibility.
HEVC export is now manual-only. Adobe have disabled the ability to programmatically export HEVC material from version 25.6 onwards. HEVC export can now only be completed manually through Premiere Pro’s built-in Export menu.
Media encoder 25.6 Onwards - Adobe Media Encoder version 25.6 onwards introduces changes that impact remote export functionality. To maintain compatibility using these versions, you must install Workflows-Edit and Publish - Adobe-1.12.8.0.zip or later on all systems using 4.2 or later. If you require use of Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder 2026 in a system running an older version than Curator 4.2, please talk to IPV Support.
Adobe Media Encoder 2026:
Adobe have made changes where some versions/configurations may experience an issue where CUDA GPU acceleration is unavailable or not correctly selected. This can result in reduced GPU utilisation and slower rendering/export performance.
Audition - New since the 4.2 release. Not compatible with earlier Curator versions.
