AUXSAYS verdict WAIT for production systems

Premiere Pro 26.2 adds useful editing and workflow updates, but early Adobe Community reports describe timeline crashes, interface slowdowns, freezing, and successful rollbacks to 26.0.1 or 26.0.2. For production work, wait unless you need a specific 26.2 fix. Test on duplicate projects first and keep a rollback path ready.

Current reports mention timeline crash in timeline editing, interface lag and hangs in editing interface, ui lag and freezing in editing interface.
