We are excited to announce the public beta release of Windows on ARM native support in Premiere Pro! We expect Premiere Pro to run on all Windows computers that are using Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series ARM architecture-based processors. Some features of Premiere Pro on Windows Intel systems will not be available when using Premiere Pro on Windows ARM, either in beta or in the final release. These features are: Loudness Radar effect (Loudness Meter is a replacement for Loudness Radar) Export to Wraptor DCP Import and export of the GoPro CineForm codec Export to the P2 Movie format Some features of Premiere Pro on Windows Intel systems are not currently available in the beta of Premiere Pro on Windows ARM but will be available in a future release. These features include: Support for 3rd party extensions (including plugins and audio plugins) Support for ProRes Import and export Using ProRes for proxies, render & replace, or as a sequence setting video preview option; see below for

We’ve made several improvements to the Link Media process in Premiere Pro. You’ll typically see the Link Media dialog when you open a project and Premiere Pro can’t find some of your assets.   What’s new New “Apply” button: You can now apply the changes you’ve made and continue opening your project — without having to relink every missing file or cancel your progress. Right-click options: Right-click one or more files to access Locate, Offline, and Reset commands, giving you more granular control over relinking. Bug fixes We’ve also fixed several issues that could slow down relinking or force you to go through the locate process multiple times, even when all the missing files are in the same folder path. Try it out We’d love your feedback. If you have a project where relinking has been frustrating in the past, please test these updates and let us know if the experience has improved. Thanks! Fergus

Hi all,   Our friends at Nikon recently released a set of LUTs for converting N-RAW footage from one log format to another. These LUTs have a very specific purpose, which we thought would be helpful to clarify here.   In short, the conversion LUTs are only needed in two cases: You’re using Nikon’s RED LUTs designed for N-Log, or You’re using a custom LUT created for N-Log.   Those creative LUTs expect the source footage to be in the Rec.2020 color space with N-Log gamma, since that’s how Nikon designed them.   However, Premiere Pro uses RED’s R3D SDK to process R3D, R3D NE, and N-RAW files, and that SDK does not support Rec.2020 or N-Log. Instead, it processes all three formats into REDWideGamutRGB color space with Log3G10 gamma.   That’s actually a good thing. For example, REDWideGamutRGB covers a wider gamut than Rec.2020, and Log3G10 offers smoother highlight roll-off and excellent dynamic range handling.   If you want to get the creative look of

We’re excited to announce that Advanced Filtering is now available in the Premiere Pro Search Panel in public beta!   Advanced filtering allows you to refine your search results with precision by applying filters based on metadata. Whether you’re working with hundreds of clips or trying to track down that one perfect shot, Advanced Filtering helps you zero in faster.     With Advanced Filtering, you can: Add metadata-based rules (e.g. File Type, Frame Rate, Status, Audio/Video, Label Color) Stack up to 8 different filters to combine search criteria Save time by surfacing only what’s relevant to your current task     This builds on the core Search Panel by giving you even more control over how you navigate and organize your media—no more digging through bins or relying on naming conventions alone.   Example Use Cases: Search for all offline video clips with a green label Filter down to audio-only assets with a specific keyword in the name Refine result

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

We continue our Media Intelligence journey with the ability to search for sounds (Audio Search) and similar visual frames (Search Similar). You can try them out in Premiere Pro Beta v25.6 build 41 or later.   Audio Search We launched Visual Search in the Search Panel this Spring, helping you find the perfect clip using natural language to describe visual scenes. Now you can search for those things that are harder to scrub and see: cheering crowds, barking dogs, train engines, and crying.   If you have a large sound effects library, you can quickly hone in on relevant sound effects without knowing the name of the clip, simply by typing in “swoosh” or “lightning crack thunder.”   How to use Audio Search Open the Search Panel using the magnifying lens icon in the top-right corner of Premiere Pro 2. Type a description of the audio that you want to find into the Search Panel bar. 3.  You can filter by “Everything” (meaning Audio, Video, Transcription and Metadata) or

Have you ever interviewed someone who couldn’t control their potty mouth? Do you have a list of words that can’t be broadcast in your region? Well, we have the answer for you! Now you can mute or bleep any censored words using Text-Based Editing, in Premiere Pro Beta v25.6 build 38 or later.   How to use it: Open a sequence with transcribed clips Open the Text Panel to the Transcript tab Click the Filter button, choose “Censored words”, then the Censored words list dialog will open Add your words to the list, then click Save In the Transcript, click Apply Effect and choose an effect Click either Replace or Replace all   Premiere Pro will then mute the dialog where the censored word occurs and, if you chose Bleep, cut in a tone on a new track. (We have other fun sounds as well, some of which were recorded in the homes of our own team members.) The mute is done with an instance of the Amplify effect, so your existing volume levels or keyframes won’t change.     &n

We are excited to announce H264 & HEVC Hardware Decoding on Qualcomm GPUs for Windows on ARM native support. This new functionality enables hardware decoding of H264 (4:2:0 8bit) and HEVC (4:2:0 8bit and 10bit) codecs in MP4 and MOV containers, ensuring smoother playback and editing workflows.    We also now provide support for ProRes in Premiere Pro on Windows ARM in public beta! This also allows smooth implementation of features where ProRes is the default setting:  1. A new sequence can be created using the New Sequence dialog.  2. When using Render and Replace, QuickTime format can be selected. 3. When creating proxies, the ProRes QuickTime Proxy can be selected.   Thank you for being a part of our beta community and for your continued support! 

UPDATE: January 29, 2021 Since the innitial post back in October of last year we have made a ton of progress and some of the details originally posted here are no longer acurate.  I have updated the post to be more accurate to the state of things today.     Here are some important changes to be aware of The Premiere Pro beta is now version 15 (starting January 26, 2021) The captions workflow in on by default - no need to enable it The beta menu has been removed (because you don't need it anymore - the advanced beta features are always on) Applications for speech to text early access has closed and those who have been accepted should have recieved an email.  The email you used to apply needs to match the email (Adobe ID) you use to log into creative cloud. If you did not recieve an email stating that you have been accepted, or if you are logged into creative cloud using a different email you will contininue to see the message stating that speech to text is

We're excited to introduce 16-bit PNG support in the latest Premiere Pro beta release (v25.6 build 64 or later), unlocking higher-fidelity workflows for HDR and professional color grading.   Why it matters: HDR-ready workflows now support 16Bit PNG source media. Avoid banding artifacts and preserve more color detail in post.   How to see this new feature in action: Update to the latest Premiere Pro beta: v25.6 build 64 or newer. Create a new project. Import a 16-bit PNG file and add it to a sequence. Open Lumetri Scopes — you'll notice a denser, more detailed pattern, showing the improved bit depth handling.    Let us know what you think!  

  We’re excited to share that the Adobe Stock Unified Content Panel (UCP) is now available in the latest beta version of Premiere Pro.   The Stock UCP brings Adobe Stock directly into your workspace through one centralized location:  Search, browse, and preview multiple Stock asset types without leaving Premiere Pro.  License and download assets straight into your project.    How to try it:  In the latest version of Premiere Pro Beta (v25.6.0.45), open a new project or load an existing project.  Go to Window > Adobe Stock and dock the opened panel in your preferred location in the workspace.    FAQ:  Q: What types of assets are supported in the Beta? A: Currently, the beta supports images, videos, and MOGRTs from Adobe Stock.   Q: Do I need an Adobe Stock subscription to use this? A: You can search and preview for free. Licensing requires an Adobe Stock plan or credits.  Q: How does sign‑in work?&

Premiere Pro, version 23.6 and later, offers support for automatic detection and interpretation of some camera log video color space formats.   To enable this feature, you have to make sure you have “Auto Detect Log Video Color Space” turned on. In Premiere Pro v23.6, you can access this control via File > Project Settings > Color and then checking this box:     In Premiere Pro v24 and later, you can either use that method to enable the feature, or you can access it in the new Lumetri Settings panel under the Project Settings section:     It can sometimes get a little confusing because some cameras offer log video space in multiple formats (mp4, mxf, mov), while Premiere Pro's auto log detection and interpretation may only work with one of them.   In the cases where you recorded your video in log space, but the auto detection feature isn’t supported, or isn’t working, you can still use the new automated color management system. Simply override the

Premiere Pro Beta introduces GPU acceleration for Camera Blur Effect on Windows and Macintosh.   Our GPU implementation delivers improved rendering performance for this effect, enabling smoother playback and faster exports.   Please let us know what you think.

The Premiere Pro Audio Team is thrilled to announce a new feature in Beta 25.3 (Build 57): Live Waveform Feedback. This Beta release focuses on enhancing audio editing workflows by providing real-time waveform feedback and improving audio visibility during clip edits and movements. These features make audio adjustments more intuitive, precise, and efficient, allowing editors to see the impact of changes immediately.    Key Enhancements: Show Waveform While Moving a Clip: Users can see the audio waveform update dynamically as they move clips across the timeline. Keyframes and markers are displayed alongside the waveform while dragging a clip, aiding in maintaining sync with key audio or visual elements.                                                Show Waveform While Copying a Clip: When duplicating a clip, the waveform remains visible, en

The latest beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder now include support for ARRI’s ARRIRAW HDE support.    ARRIRAW HDE (High Density Encoding) is the compressed version of ARRIRAW. Files encoded with HDE are approximately 60% of the original file size. The compression is completely lossless.    ARRIRAW HDE playback is hardware accelerated on Apple silicon computers and Windows computers with an NVIDIA GPU.    We would love to get your feedback on ARRIRAW HDE support!   Regards, Fergus

  We just rebuilt the Frame.io V4 panel from the ground up, and it's is now in Premiere Pro (beta) 25.6. This is a significant update. Browse and import assets from Frame.io V4 accounts, export, upload, play, share and manage comments for your sequences, all from one panel. What is it? When we launched the Frame.io V4 Comments panel in Fall of 2024, we heard from many of you that you wanted more than just sharing and commenting on individual sequences. For those who needed more, this is for you. Many of you asked for an easy way to see all of your Frame.io Accounts, Projects, and Media, all in one place. You didn't just want to share edits with your producer, you wanted to import clips uploaded to Frame.io from your camera. Now, most of what you can do in Frame.io on the web, you can now do in Premiere Pro.   And if that wasn't enough, we've made syncing comments from Frame.io to your Premiere timeline better than ever. Comments in Frame.io are

Hi all,   We're excited to get your feedback on a significant improvement to Premiere Pro's timeline.  We've made changes to how thumbnails display, making the timeline smoother and snappier.    What’s New? This release changes how thumbnails are displayed, reducing flicker. Because of this, multiple ways in which you interact with the timeline are faster and more stable.   Zooming in and out of the timeline (especially using the zoom scroll bars) Performing trim, slip, slide, ripple, and other edit operations   Remember that you can also toggle between different thumbnail display modes: head only, head + tail, or continuous, using the timeline display settings menu (the hamburger icon just to the right of the sequence name in the timeline panel). This gives you more control over how thumbnails appear based on your editing needs.     These improvements are designed to reduce visual noise and help you stay focused on your edit, e

As of Premiere Pro v25.2, the option to choose software rendering was removed on Windows, Intel-based Macs, and in Media Encoder across all platforms. In v25.2, users could still temporarily enable software rendering by holding the Shift key while launching Premiere Pro and selecting “Use Software Rendering Only (one-time only).” In the latest beta versions of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, this fallback has now been fully removed – software rendering is no longer available. Software rendering can significantly reduce performance and limit rendering to 8-bit, which may cause image quality issues. Our goal is to ensure that Premiere Pro and Media Encoder always render correctly using the GPU. If you encounter a project that renders correctly in software mode but not in v25.2, we’d greatly appreciate your feedback. Please follow the instructions here to report the issue:👉 https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/how-to-report-a-problem/idi-p/13361863   Best regards,

In the current, shipping version of Premiere Pro, starting playback, then accelerating that playback results in the CTI (the Current Time Indicator, also known as the playhead), skipping ahead, briefly pausing, then starting again. This skipping is often accompanied by an audio pop.  It's particularly noticable when you're scrubbing quickly around the timeline using the JKL keys.    Here's what it currently looks like. I hit L to start playback, hit L again at the first timeline marker to accelerate playback, and again at the second marker.      I'm very glad to announce that we've fixed this problem in Premiere Pro Beta, v25.6 build 7 and later. Accelerating playback - both forwards and backwards - should now feel smooth and will happen without any audio popping.    Here's how it now works in Premiere Pro Beta.     We'd love to get your feedback on this change!   Regards, Fergus

Following on from our announcement last year, we are removing tape and capture workflows from Premiere Pro, starting with the public Beta version 23.3 (build 14).   What is being removed: Edit to Tape panel  Capture panel  Support for third-party capture plug-ins  Capture project settings  Preferences > Capture  Preferences > Device Control  Menu commands related to the above functionality  Keyboard shortcuts related to the above functionality    What is not being removed: Support for third-party Mercury Transmit plug-ins Exporting to XDCAM drives mounted as a file system    We expect most editors won’t notice a change using this new version of Premiere Pro (Beta). If you do encounter any issues, especially with opening older projects that used tape capture in the past, please let us know in a comment below. Thank you! 

We’re excited to introduce Multi Transitions, a new feature now available in Premiere Pro (Beta) that makes it dramatically easier to apply and adjust transitions across multiple audio and video clips at once. What is Multi Transitions? Multi Transitions lets you create and edit transitions on multiple audio and video clips simultaneously. Whether you're smoothing or creating new transitions for dialogue, music, sound effects, or enhancing video sequences, this feature helps you work faster and stay in the creative flow. Key Enhancements Previously, adjusting transitions across several clips meant repeating the same action repeatedly. With Multi Transitions, you can now: Create and edit multiple transitions at once: Speed up your workflow by simultaneously applying or modifying transitions across numerous clips, ensuring consistency for both audio and video. Edit using the trim tool or the transition handles across multiple clips in one move: Save time by adjusting fade-in and fad

Please note: This feature has been updated, please refer to the ‘Updates’ section at the end of this post. The feature changes mentioned in 'Updates' section were released in Premiere Pro. If you've got questions or comments about it, please post to the main Premiere Pro support forum   We’re excited to introduce some powerful improvements in zoom and pan behaviors in the Program and Source monitors with Adobe Premiere Pro Beta 25.2 (Build 104). Here’s an overview of what’s new and improved:   Overview of New Features: Pan with Scroll, Zoom with Modifier Scrolling on any input device will now perform panning. Scrolling with a modifier key will trigger zooming. New Global Shortcuts ‘Zoom to Fit’ and ‘Zoom to 100%’ are now available as global shortcuts for both Program and Source monitors. Improved Trackpad support Pinching in or out on trackpad will continue to perform zooming. Two finger swipe (scroll) will perform pan.   Key Details: Please refer the f

We can now display and change the label color of sequences right in the sequence panel.     Steps to access the feature Update to the latest beta (v25.2 build 81 or later) Go to Timeline Display Settings (wrench in Timeline panel) Enable the following option: Show Sequence Label Color (it is off by default). This option will add a Label color swatch to the left of the Timeline > Sequence panel, similar to After Effects.   You can also assign a keyboard shortcut.  The Timeline > Sequence panel’s contextual menu (e.g., right-click) also has a Label dropdown menu at the bottom. This will change the label color for just that sequence and update the same sequence in the Project panel (and vice versa). You can also assign specific Timeline panel shortcuts to each Label color separate from Timeline clip Label colors to avoid conflicts.   Known bugs Timeline Sequence Label color name changes are not reflected in Keyboard Shortcuts editor.  You can chang
