Announcements

We’re excited to announce that you can now view audio waveforms and video playback simultaneously in the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro (Beta)!    This highly requested feature (739 upvotes in the Adobe Community!!!) helps editors save time and tell better stories by making it easier to line up audio cues with video. Whether you’re cutting interviews, syncing dialogue, or finessing sound design, you can now see audio and video tracks together, allowing you to edit with greater precision and efficiency.      What You Can Do with Audio + Video Waveforms  Toggle to show both audio waveform and video playback at the same time  Scrub through media while monitoring both visual and audio tracks  Set In/Out points as usual   Add and move markers with full A/V visibility  Works seamlessly with multiple audio channels    Why It Matters  Previously, users had to switch between video view and waveform view in the Source Mo

We have heard your feedback: Those of you that have your own transcripts, already complete with proper spelling and punctuation, or in a language we don’t support, don’t want to re-transcribe using Premiere’s Speech to Text feature just so you can use captioning and Text-Based Editing.   Captioning and Text-Based Editing requires Premiere Pro to have timecodes for every word. We are publishing a JSON spec format that supports word-level timecode for captioning and Text-Based Editing. Developers can now build support for exporting to this spec, or write scripts to translate from other transcript formats to this JSON spec. (JSON spec is attached to this post.)   Guidance for non-developers While developers are adding support for this new format to their transcription tools, we’ve found that modern LLMs can do an excellent job of converting existing transcripts into this JSON format. Every LLM is different and their capabilities are always changing, so this advice is generalized

Beta versions of Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder now natively support Canon Cinema RAW Light files from the following Canon cameras: EOS C50 EOS R6 Mark III EOS R6 V EOS C400, with 3:2 / Open Gate firmware installedThis update allows you to import and edit raw files - up to 7K Open Gate - from these cameras. In addition, Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder continue to support raw video files from other Canon cameras.  Raw settings - including Color Temperature, Tint, Exposure, Color Space, and Gamma - can be viewed and modified via Effects Controls > Source.  If you have any questions or comments about this update, please let us know below. If you experience any performance issues or bugs, please share your OS, hardware specs, and specific camera recording settings.

Hey everyone!We are excited to share a new feature in Text-Based Editing: Paper Edit. It is in build 34 of Premiere Beta. Many of you have asked for the ability to highlight multiple sections of a transcript and preview them before creating a new sequence.Here’s how it works:Start from a single Source Clip or an existing Sequence. Click the Paper Edit button  Highlight what you want to keep. When you click into Paper Edit mode, you can read through your transcript and highlight the sections you want to use. Before you commit anything to a sequence, select “Preview.” This allows you to playback the selections and make changes. Click on a selection to omit it. If something doesn’t sound good in your preview, just remove it by clicking on the text. Jump between sections in long sequences. If your raw footage is long, you can quickly jump between sections instead of scrolling endlessly.We would love to hear what you think! Give Paper Edit a spin and let us know if there is anything we can

Beta versions of Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder now natively support ARRICORE files from the ARRI ALEXA 35 Xtreme camera. ARRICORE files are approximately half the size of ARRIRAW and are similar in size to ProRes 4444. Unlike ProRes, exposure, white balance, and color tint settings can be changed non-destructively after capture, via the Source tab in the Effect Controls panel.  More information about ARRICORE is available on ARRI’s website:ARRICORE overview Sample footageIf you have any questions or comments, please let us know!

Hey everyone! We’re excited to share a small but impactful quality-of-life update that just landed in Premiere Beta 26.2 (Build 14). You can now hide clip audio channel labels directly in the timeline.This update is all about giving you more control over how dense or minimal you want your timeline to feel, especially when working with multichannel audio or complex sequences.What’s New?You can now toggle the visibility of audio channel labels on clips in the timeline. When hidden, the timeline becomes cleaner and easier to scan, helping you focus on the waveform itself rather than extra overlays.This is particularly useful when:Working with multichannel clips Editing dense timelines Reading waveforms at a glance without obstructionWhere to find itThe new option lives in the Timeline wrench menu.You can toggle Show/Hide Audio Channel Labels on or off at any time, depending on your workflow and the level of detail you need in the moment.Bonus: This action can also be assigned to a custom

Beta versions of Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder now support X-OCN files from the Sony BURANO using firmware version 3.0. Firmware version 3.0 adds several important features to the BURANO, including:A full-frame 5.8K 6:5 recoding format for anamorphic shooting A Super 35 crop 3.8K 16:9 recording mode at up to 120 fps X-OCN recording support when the imager scan mode is set to S35 1.9K 16:9 up to 240 fpsMore information is available on Sony’s website: https://pro.sony/ue_US/products/professional-cameras/cinematography-burano-firmware-roadmapIf you have any questions or comments about this change, please let us know!

Beta versions of Premiere, After Effects, and Media Encoder now provide better support for ProRes RAW. Via Effects Control > Source,  it is now possible to modify the attributes of a ProRes RAW file, including:Processing method ISO Exposure bias Color temperature Raw to log optionsProRes RAW support is available for all ProRes RAW files, including those recorded in-camera (e.g., iPhone 17 Pro, Nikon ZR), and those recorded by external recording devices from Atomos (e.g., Ninja, Shogun).ProRes RAW plugins are supported. These plug-ins enable camera manufacturers to provide their own custom processing pipeline, bypassing the default ProRes RAW pipeline. Two ProRes RAW plug-ins are currently available: iPhone 17 Pro - Pro Video Formats 3.1 (macOS only) Canon (ProRes RAW recorded using Atomos recorders) - Canon Plugin 1.2.0 for ProRes RAW (macOS only)Note: ProRes RAW support in our current, shipping Windows products relies upon installation of Apple’s Apple ProRes RAW for Windows 1.3 pa

In Premiere, our Speech to Text transcription model supports 18 languages. I am pleased to announce a new drop of our Speech to Text model in Premiere Beta, targeted for version 26.2. When you run transcription in Premiere, you should notice improved accuracy in languages, dialects, and overlapping dialogue.AccuracyExpanded language accuracy improvements: All of Premiere’s languages are showing higher accuracy. Some languages are seeing up to 36% reduction in errors.Better handling of overlapping dialogue: You should notice more words being attributed to the correct speaker as well improvements in the change points between speakers.English dialogue improvements: Premiere should be better at recognizing dialects for English speakers. When tested on both African American and Singaporean English data sets, Premiere has a 28% relative improvement in word error rate (tested in CORAAL and National Singapore Corpus).PerformanceTranscription wait time should be reduced, as long as you are on r

The Premiere Pro Team is excited to introduce a new Beta feature: Ripple Edit Live Feedback. This enhancement brings real-time visual feedback to ripple edits, allowing editors to instantly see how their changes affect the timeline as they work. By making ripple edits more transparent and intuitive, this feature helps streamline workflows, reduce errors, and improve sync across complex edits.   Key Enhancement: Ripple Edit Live FeedbackWatch the timeline update dynamically as you perform ripple edits. Whether you're trimming clips or shifting content downstream, changes are reflected in real time. This eliminates guesswork and reduces the need to scrub back and forth.   Why It Matters: Provides immediate visual confirmation of ripple edit impact. Helps maintain sync and rhythm across edits. Reduces the need for backtracking or rechecking. Makes the editing process faster, more precise, and more intuitive.   Try It OutThis feature is available in the latest Beta build. Jump

We’re excited to release a new Smooth mode in Object mask to Beta which will let you create masks which handle fine edges better.  When creating an Object Mask, you can now choose between Sharp and Smooth modes to achieve the best results for your specific masking needs. What's new The new Smooth mode creates masks with softer edges that are better suited for fine edges and detailed objects. This enhancement allows you to handle complex masking scenarios more effectively without compromising quality.  Sharp mode Smooth modeMask quality modes Sharp mode Sharp mode continues to create masks as they are currently created, with crisp, well-defined edges. This mode is ideal for: Objects with clear, distinct boundaries  Standard masking workflows Smooth mode Smooth mode creates masks with softer edges that provide superior handling of fine details. This mode is particularly useful for: Objects with intricate or delicate edges  Hair, fur, or fabric textures  Subjects with semi-transparent or

Now in Premiere Pro beta, the Obsolete Effects folder and plug-ins, Obsolete Transitions folder and plug-ins, and presets built from the obsolete effects are removed.   These effects and transitions all have faster, modern alternatives either in Premiere Pro, or offered by third parties. Their current usage is extremely low but represent an outsized percentage of project slowdowns and performance bottlenecks. Please see the table below for suggested alternatives.   CAN I OPEN OLDER PROJECTS THAT HAVE OBSOLETE EFFECTS & TRANSITIONS IN 24.6?   Yes. You can open projects made in a previous versions of Premiere Pro that contain the removed obsolete effects and transitions. The effects and transitions will still appear in your sequences, and in the Effects Control Panel on the clips they’ve been applied to, but the Obsolete Effects folder, Obsolete Transitions folder and four Presets folders – Bevel Edges, Solarize, Convolution Kernel and Blurs (Win Only) will not be acce

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new tool in Premiere Pro Beta: Sequence Index – a smarter, faster way to navigate complex edits.   Built for professionals working with dense, multi-track sequences, Sequence Index provides a comprehensive, spreadsheet-style view of all assets and attributes in a sequence. Whether you're trying to locate specific clips, identify flash frames, or filter for clips with effects or speed changes, this new feature makes it dramatically easier to search, sort, and troubleshoot your timeline. Why this matters Today, searching for specific clips or effects in long timelines is a manual, time-consuming process. There’s no simple way to surface offline media, spot transitions, identify what effects are used where, or track down issues without scanning every edit. With Sequence Index, we’re removing that friction, giving you an interactive, sortable table of your entire sequence that updates in real time as you edit. What you can do with it View every c

Hey everyone! We are excited to share that Global and Contextual Audio Mute is now available in Premiere Beta (Build 36). This has been a long standing request from many of you, and we are finally bringing it to life.What’s New? With Global Mute you now have full control over how and when Premiere plays audio. You can mute the entire application or mute only the Program Monitor or Source Monitor depending on your workflow.     Where to find it There are multiple ways to access these new mute controls: Transport ControlsYou will find a mute button directly in the transport bar of both the Program Monitor and the Source Monitor. The icon clearly shows mute and unmute states, and it works together with the contextual meters of your active sequence or clip. When mute is enabled, the contextual meters will gray out to give you an extra visual confirmation of the mute state.       Universal Header BarWe have also added a mute control in the Universal Header Bar. This

We’ve taken a fresh look at the application, panel, and context menus across Premiere Pro and developed a new organizational system to bring editors all the same functionality in a more concise and discoverable way. Even on a 13-inch laptop, you’ll never have to scroll a menu to get your work done.   Our approach to organizing the menus: Aggressively organize into submenus. Commands stay in the same menu as before, but the submenus mean the menu stays short and readable. Give useful names to the new submenus. Editors new to Premiere Pro can more quickly learn what the menu items do. Be consistent when similar items appear in different menus. Whether in the Project or Timeline panel, common items like “Label” or “Media File Properties” appear in the same parts of menus.   Across the application, menus that were updated average a 40% reduction in height, with some menus shrinking by half.   This is a big change to the feel of using Premiere Pro, and while we took time an

We’re excited to announce a major update to our Content Credentials workflow in Premiere on desktop and Media Encoder. You can now use Content Credentials to add your identity to your work, helping you safeguard your creativity and build trust with your audience. What’s New? Sign your work with your verified name: Attach your real identity to your content, so viewers know it’s authentically yours. (requires a verified LinkedIn profile) Connect your social accounts: Link your social media profiles to your output, making it easier for your audience to find and follow you and your work. Ask generative AI models not to use your content: After adding your name or social accounts, you can request that generative AI models not use your content for training, helping to prevent creative theft. Participating models respect the “Do Not Train AI” request, but not all AI systems may comply.         Premiere and Media Encoder can use your preferences from the Adobe Content Aut

Premiere Pro Beta has support for Open Timeline IO interchage format (OTIO). Our current implementation includes the basic information for interchange with other products that support the OTIO standard:   names cutlist with clips at correct place in sequence source in/out durations starting timecode and timecode formats fps multiple tracks track names linear speed sequence markers (start time, duration, name, color)   Premiere Pro's OTIO support includes Premiere round-tripping information as well:   clip markers (start time, duration, comments, name, color). Seqence frame size Sequence sample rate   When importing OTIO files created outside of Premiere Pro, some sequence settings may not transfer automatically and will require manual adjustment.   To export a sequence to OTIO, go to File menu/Export/OpenTimelineIO. To import an OTIO sequence, go to File menu/Import or use the Media Browser.     Please give OTIO Import and Export a try and l

Dear users,    Beginning in the public beta version releasing on Wednedsay, August 14th, we’ll be making a minor change to how muting is handled in the effects control panel to simplify the process.    In the Effects Controls panel, you will no longer have 2 ways to bypass keyframes on the Volume effect. The fx button behavior is unchanged. The control formerly called “Bypass” has been replaced with “Mute,” which will make the audio silent. If you were using “Bypass” in an existing project, you will need to switch to use the Fx button instead, otherwise your audio will be silent.    If you wish to bypass your volume keyframes in the future, simply press the “fx” button on the left.    In addition, in cases where Mute was activated via the Essential Sound Panel, and then individual channels altered, the Mute button in the Essential Sound Panel will no longer be checked. The mute effect will now be applied through the Effects Control Panel.  &

Available in Build 18 or higher (26.2.0.18)It was almost a year ago that we launched the new Search Panel in Premiere. At that time, you could search your clips using Media Intelligence, including visuals, transcript, and metadata. Finding things with AI is cool and useful! However, we also know that every video editor has your own way of tagging and organizing takes and clips. As a result, we have added Marker Search to the Search Panel, making it much faster to find and compile clips that you or your collaborators have already tagged with markers, across your entire project. How It WorksOpen the Search panel Use the Markers dropdown Choose one of two ways to search: Search by marker text – find words from the marker Name or Comment Filter by marker color – click the Filter button to add a Marker Color filter and see only markers of a certain color Using text to search for markers  What You Can SearchMarker Search looks across your entire project. As with before, you can narrow searc

In version v25.1 or earlier of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder, video formats that are hardware accelerated by previous generations of NVIDIA GPUs are already hardware accelerated by NVIDIA’s new Blackwell Architecture GPUs. No update to our applications is required.     Now in beta is support for an exciting new feature, unique to NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs: hardware acceleration of 10-bit 4:2:2 media in both H.264 and HEVC codecs.     These formats combine small file size and great quality, and now with hardware acceleration from Blackwell, great performance.     Please note:   Hardware acceleration is available for H.264 & HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 media in the MP4 and MOV containers. Support for MXF media will be coming later this year.   Full-range files are currently being decoded as limited range files. This is a bug that will be fixed in an upcoming beta.     If you’re a Windows customer with a B

We’re excited to push an early development preview of new masking workflows to Premiere Pro (beta).  Whether you are color grading, applying effects, or cutting objects out from the background, these new masking tools are built to help editors work faster, smarter, and more creatively without needing to go to After Effects for simple tasks.   Note: This beta is an early look at upcoming Premiere Pro workflows and is not intended to reflect general availability performance or polish. Please contact us with bugs, feedback, and feature requests to improve these features.   Object Mask – Automatically identify objects and people in your footage using AI and isolate them with a single click. Plus mask refinement tools and fast tracking throughout clips. Redesigned Shape Masks – the traditional shape mask tools (ellipse, rectangle, pen) have been rebuilt from the ground up with many performance and UI improvements. Faster Shape Mask Tracking – the tracking algorithm has been

Hey, beta users!    Starting today, October 24, Premiere Pro betas will switch from v25.6 to the next major version, v26. We make this switch once a year, when we get close to shipping the last dot release of a major version and move to the beta of the next major version.    Premiere Pro will guide you through the project upgrade and automatically version the project file. Unless you specifically save over the original file, you will have a backup. As with previous major version changes, Premiere Pro projects saved in v26 cannot be opened in earlier versions of Premiere Pro, including the shipping version (v25.5 at the time of this post). This means that a project opened and saved in the v26 beta cannot be moved back to the shipping version.    It is also required to have v26 of After Effects and Media Encoder to make use of Dynamic Link.  It's recommended that all three be updated at the same time.   As always, we recommend that you d

 We will update our system requirements with the next major release of our video applications.
