Announcements

We’ve just introduced Dynamic Audio Waveforms to the Public Beta as of Monday, November 25th (build number 25.2.0 x029...this may appear for you later in the day if you are using a Mac this is now available for both Windows and Mac versions). Audio waveforms will reflect adjustments to volume on clips, a long-requested feature.   More specifically, you’ll see live feedback on waveforms when you use the following:  Rubber band and keyframes on clips (clip and channel volume, amplify);  Essential Sound Panel (Volume, Mute, Auto-Ducking);  Effects Control Panel volume parameter adjustments (Clip and channel volume, amplify);  Properties Panel (Volume and Mute controls); Audio Gain.  A Dynamic Audio Waveforms option is now available in the View Menu, can be toggled on and off, and is enabled by default. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle it on and off. This toggle will also apply to Waveform Scaling for Audio Gain adjustments

We’re excited to announce that hardware acceleration of Canon’s Cinema RAW Light format is now in the latest beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder. You should expect to see significantly improved editing & transcoding performance when using Cinema RAW Light files in the beta: smooth playback on the timlineline and export performance improved by up to 10x.   The initial beta release adds Cinema RAW Light acceleration for Apple silicon computers. A future beta will add hardware support on Windows and we will update this post when that beta is available.    We’d love to get your feedback on this update!   Regards, Fergus  

Now you can easily access frequently needed controls in Premiere Pro using the new Properties panel. As you select clips in the timeline, the most relevant controls and quick actions will automatically display in the Properties panel.   Need to change the scale of multiple video clips and graphics? Or change the volume of multiple audio clips? You can now select multiple clips in the timeline and change properties on all of them at once.   Need access to more advanced controls? The Properties panel will guide you to the additional panels that you need.   How do you enable the Properties panel in Premiere Pro? To access the Properties panel, select the Window menu in Premiere Pro and then choose Properties:   You can add the Properties panel to your existing workspace by docking it wherever you like. The Properties panel is now automatically docked in all default workspaces and will be visible when you Reset to Saved Layout.       What has changed?

In the latest beta of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, the option to choose software rendering - “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only” - has been removed. Software rendering can cause poor performance and rendering in 8-bit, which can result in banding. In this beta and future released versions of our products, all rendering will be done using the GPU.    This change affects:  Premiere Pro - Macintosh Intel Premiere Pro - Windows Media Encoder - all platforms   Note that this change has no effect on Premiere Pro on Apple silicon computers, as software rendering has never been an option on this platform.    What renderer is being used by Premiere Pro is a project-specific setting. If a project using Mercury Playback Engine Software Only is opened in the latest beta of Premiere Pro, the renderer will automatically switch to a GPU-powered renderer.    We would appreciate your feedback on this change.    Regards, Fergus

Now in Premiere Pro (beta), AI-powered Media Intelligence automatically identifies visuals such as people, objects, location, camera angles, and more across thousands of clips in seconds. With the new Search panel, use natural language to find these visuals, plus spoken words in transcripts or clips with embedded metadata like shoot date, location, or camera type – all at the same time. The media intelligence analysis is faster than real time and runs locally on your computer, there is no internet connection required. Your media and searches are never used to train Adobe’s AI models.    This new search can help you at any stage of your edit, whether you’re diving into organizing hours of new footage, or you need to quickly find that one shot you know you’ve seen before.       How to get started:  Import your footage into a new project or open an existing project.  Open the Search panel by clicking the magnifying glass button in the upper right corn

New API’s that provide a path for Transmit plug-ins to be created that allow multiple audio streams to be output from Premiere’s Mercury Transmit. Additionally, Premiere Pro has added a new SRT Transmit Streaming Plug-in. The new SRT output that can be used simultaneously with existing Transmit hardware/software devices, allowing more than one audio stream from Premiere.      API for Push audio model:  Currently Premiere has a limitation of a single audio output, and this change allows new Transmit plug-ins to be created that will allow for multiple audio outputs to hardware or software.     This does not affect existing Transmit Plug-ins, existing Transmit device and plug-ins will continue to work, but only as the Primary audio device (“Preferences>Playback>Primary Audio Device...”).  Any new Transmit plug-ins can be written to use the new API’s, and implement a push model of audio, allowing the new plug-in to act as the Default Audio Dev

Hi all,   The latest beta of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder now include support for H.264 in MKV. Our support is particularly focused on customers using MKV files from OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). We support AAC and PCM audio.    We’d love to get your feedback on this new feature.    Regards, Fergus

Ever since we launched Text-Based Editing, you’ve been asking for translation capabilities. We’re happy to have an answer to this top request: now you can translate captions in 17 languages without leaving Premiere Pro!    You can translate captions that are generated inside Premiere Pro or imported via .srt file. Currently, only translation of captions is supported – not transcripts.       To use caption translation:  Create Captions in the Text panel.  Select the Translate captions icon in the Captions tab.   Choose the language you want your captions translated into and select Translate. You can select multiple languages!      Captions will be translated using a cloud service and third-party translation models, and a new track will be created in the Timeline panel. The progress of the translation is displayed in the Progress panel and on the track item.   You can now enable multiple captions simultaneously! Just s

New in Premiere Pro (Beta) 25.3 (build 13 and later) the Timeline has three new commands to help you work more quickly: Toggle Track Output for all Targeted Video Tracks Toggle Mute for all Targeted Audio Tracks Toggle Solo for all Targeted Audio Tracks These commands exist as keyboard shortcuts available to map to any key you like, or in the context menu when you right click on the Mute, Solo, or Track Output buttons in the Timeline.     These commands are designed to help editors in cases where they are comparing multiple video or audio clips to decide which works best. Previously, editors would need to manually click on the Mute, Solo, or Track Output buttons to toggle what was going to be played. The commands allow for easily toggling without having to click around or stop playback, and they only apply to the targeted tracks, so editors have full control.       We hope you find these new commands useful, and we look forward to your feedback. Thank

You can now select any location for your local Auto Save files for Team Projects. You are no longer restricted to saving your Auto Save files to the default location where the application is installed which allows you to use any directory or external hard drive to manage your Auto Save files.   You can set the location of your Auto Saves files under Premiere Pro>Preference>Auto Save>Team Projects. Team Project files are now saved in an append only file (.tpr file) which has the same name as your project. These files are more secure than the previous auto save files for Team Projects and make it easier to locate your auto-save files.   In addition to your Auto Saves, your Team Projects and their Auto-Save History is always available on the Cloud.

Launching Adobe Stock Search from within Premiere Pro beta just got easier. To access, select "File > Search Adobe Stock..." and Premiere Pro will launch the stock.adobe.com website from a browser.     This is available now, give it a try and please let us know what you think.

Edit: This feature is now shipping in Premiere Pro v24. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback while it was in beta!   A common question from Premiere Pro customers on macOS is why exported videos look desaturated and washed out when opened in other applications, like QuickTime Player, Safari and other applications on macOS.   The reason for this is a difference between how Premiere Pro displays video and how macOS displays video. Premiere Pro uses television broadcast standards, while macOS uses a less common standard. An excellent description of this issue is available on Todd Dominey’s website: https://www.todddominey.com/2021/01/24/why-are-videos-washed-out-on-the-mac-exploring-quicktime-gamma-shift/   Premiere Pro Beta v24 offers a simple solution to this issue: providing an option for you to choose how video is displayed in Premiere Pro.   The Settings tab of the Lumetri Color panel now has a Viewer Gamma option, enabling you to choose either the broadc

Note: This feature was released with Premiere Pro v24.4.    In Adobe Premiere Pro 24.4 beta, users will get option to view individual color channels (red, green, and blue) in gradient grayscale.   Composite Video view of a frame of sample media in Program monitor   Corresponding Red channel view of same frame of sample media in Program monitor   While adding value for all users in general, this will be super helpful for colorists, compositing artists, and final stage editors when they need to perform trouble shooting to evaluate specific video channels for noise compression artifacts, clipping, and camera sensor problems that are channel specific. Hence, it will definitely help the users to make better calls while making changes to individual color channels in the clips.   RGB channels viewer is available across Program monitor, Source monitor, and Reference monitor. To switch to individual channels view, users can use multiple options such as: Option 1:

Premiere Pro Beta introduces GPU acceleration for the four Iris transitions:   Iris Box Iris Cross Iris Diamond Iris Round     Our GPU implementation delivers improved rendering performance for these transitions, enabling smoother playback and faster exports.   Please let us know what you think.

Starting with Premiere Pro (Beta) version 25.0, build 32, all clips in the timeline have rounded corners!     As part of the New Spectrum UI updates, we are now adding rounded corners to all of the clips in the timeline UI. Rounded corners are easier to look at all day long, require less cognitive load to parse and understand, make it easier to see the boundaries between clips, and are just plain friendlier! There is a lot of psychology behind rounded corners. Just look at any object within sight right now, and you will start to see rounded corners everywhere.   Here are a few interesting reads on Medium that explain the concept rather well.   Rounded edges are “friendlier” The human brain is conditioned to process sharp objects as potentially harmful and dangerous. A human neuroimaging study has shown that it is natural behaviour to lean towards objects with curved contours compared to sharper objects. (Benjamin Tey, The current obsession with

In the latest beta of Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, the option to choose software rendering - “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only” - has been removed. Software rendering can cause poor performance and rendering in 8-bit, which can result in banding. In this beta and future released versions of our products, all rendering will be done using the GPU.    As this change affects both Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, we created a thread in the Premiere Pro beta forum to discuss this issue. If you've got comments, please see this thread:https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-beta-discussions/new-in-beta-software-rendering-option-removed/td-p/15075725   Regards, Fergus

We’re proud to announce a new look for Premiere Pro!  In Beta — available today — Premiere Pro is themed and styled using Adobe’s Spectrum design with a new modern look across the entire app.  Premiere Pro now includes three different themes: Darkest, Dark and Light.    There’s also a new toggle for switching between a high-contrast mode for easier visibility and accessibility or a low-contrast mode for focusing on your content.      With this design system in place, you’ll see more visual continuity across Adobe applications, better legibility, and easier UI interactions. The Spectrum design system unifies Adobe’s app design behind principles that make it inclusive, scalable, and focused.    Questions to our beta community:  Is there one theme you prefer over the others?  Do you switch between themes?  Is there anything you miss from the previous interface design?  Is the new design confusing or distracting? If so, in wha

The intrinsic motion effect now has crop parameters. You can use Crop on all your videos and images without the need to add an effect. If you prefer to continue using Crop from the Effects panel, that is still there and continues to be available.   Crop is now included in the Properties panel. Crop parameters can also be accessed via the motion filter in the Effect Controls Panel.   You can also crop directly in the Program Monitor. Click on the new button under the Program Monitor which will bring up a menu to switch between Crop and Transform.       To use Crop in the Properties Panel, select video or image clips in the timeline. You can crop video clips using Left, Top, Right and Bottom controls in the Property panel. . You can reset any crop modifications by using the reset button on the top right of Crop or by using the Undo command.     For more information about the Properties Panel, please refer to the Beta Forums post on the Properties pan

Hey, beta users!    Starting today, August 5, Premiere Pro betas will switch from v24.6 to the next major version, v25. We make this switch once a year when we get close to shipping the last dot release of one major version and switch 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. Like previous major version changes, Premiere Pro projects saved in v25 cannot be opened in previous versions of Premiere Pro, including the shipping version (v24.5 at the time of this post). This means that a project opened and saved in the beta of v25 cannot be taken back to the shipping version.    It is also required to have v25 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 do not us

From Adobe Premiere Pro Beta 25.0.0 (Build 43) onwards, users have the option to enable scroll bars in Program and Source monitors.

Whenever checked, the scroll bars are visible, irrespective of the ‘Zoom level’ of the image in the monitor. The scroll bars are hidden by default.   Feel free to try it out and provide feedback (in case any)!
