Issue

Workaround

No Font sync happens when a project is opened. The Text Layer uses a default Font (Looks like Helvetica® in the Comp Viewer), and in the Character panel. You will see the Font it needs in brackets like this: (Permanent Marker).

Open the Creative Cloud desktop app to make sure it's running. Then go back to Adobe Premiere Pro and wait for some time to let your fonts sync.

The Save, Save As, and Open windows close automatically when you press Home, End, Delete, Page Up/Page Down, or any arrow keys.

Avoid pressing any of the mentioned keys when saving a project.

Are legacy/perpetual versions of Adobe Premiere Pro compatible with macOS Ventura?

No, legacy/perpetual versions of Adobe Premiere Pro were not designed or tested to work on macOS 13.0 (Ventura). They are not supported in any way for use on macOS Ventura.

Adobe does not recommend that customers using old versions of Adobe Premiere Pro upgrade to macOS Ventura. Incompatible versions will not display in the 'Older Versions' list within the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Older versions of Adobe Premiere Pro cannot be installed and activated after macOS Ventura upgrades. Upgrading to macOS Ventura with an older version already installed on your computer may allow the application to function in some capacity; however, you'll not be able to reinstall or activate the application after the macOS upgrade.

Before upgrading to macOS Ventura, you may uninstall the older versions, as the uninstaller will not work after upgrading. If you've already upgraded to macOS Ventura, you can use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to uninstall older versions.
