Distribute Spacing for text and shapes  We are happy to announce that starting with beta build 22.4x3 we have added functionality to Align and Transform in the Essential Graphics panel: Distribute Spacing. While adding these two new buttons we also rearranged the other alignment buttons to make the UI less confusing. We are looking forward to your feedback!      What does Distribute Space Vertically/Horizontally do?  Distribute Spacing moves text or shape objects in the Program Monitor so that their edges are equally distant from each other.  When distributing three objects horizontally, only the inner object will move, so that the distance to the outer objects is equally distributed. That’s why you can only use Distribute Spacing with a minimum of three objects. When selecting only one or two objects the buttons will be greyed out.        What is the difference to Distribute Vertically/Horizontally?  Distribute (Objects) moves t

I am excited to introduce a new feature that streamlines rough cut cleanup. You can now select all dialogue by a particular speaker in the transcript and quickly remove it from the video. This feature facilitates the removal of any irrelevant dialogue from your timeline, especially interviewers or other off-camera conversations in unscripted content.   How it works In the Text Panel -> Transcript tab -> top-left corner, click on the Filter icon and select “Speakers” In the speaker drop-down menu, select the person whose dialogue you want deleted Click “Delete”       Notes You can only delete dialogue on a Sequence/Timeline. Footage cannot be deleted from Source transcriptions. Make sure to rename speakers in your Source transcript since “Speaker 1” could be two different people in two different source clips.   Feedback Does it work as expected? Is the user experience smooth with minimal clicks? What else?    

New in Premiere Pro Beta 15.2, the Metadata & Timecode Burn-in effect replaces the existing Clip Name and Timecode effects. This new effect takes advantage of our modern graphics engine and GPU acceleration for smooth playback while also offering an array of new types of metadata that you can burn into your video whether you need a simple watermark, timecode burn-in, or detailed attributes for high-end VFX workflows.   The Metadata & Timecode Burn-in effect can display 6 types of timecode and 20 types of project metadata. Apply the effect to a single clip or to an Adjustment Layer over your whole timeline. When applied to an Adjustment Layer you can set the Source Track the effect will read. Or, leave it set to Top Clip and the effect will use whichever clip is on the highest track. If you often need to display more than one type of metadata, you can apply another instance of the effect and then create an Effects Preset containing all your instances of the effect in one ea

Starting with the June, 2024 (24.5) release of Premiere Pro, Adobe will no longer support a native plugin for Tangent Control Surfaces.   Tangent maintains its own Premiere Pro Plugin (“Tangent Extended”), which is installed by default when installing Tangent Hub software. The existing, built in Tangent Plug-in will be removed from Premiere Pro. If you are still using a Tangent device for color correction in Premiere Pro, download the newer Tangent Extended plug-in directly from the Tangent website here: https://www.tangentwave.co.uk/   If you already have the Tangent Extended software installed you will be directed to use the new Tangent Extended plug-in in Premiere Pro automatically.

Many of you have told us that you have a colleague responsible for correcting AI transcripts, and that you want an easy way to share the transcript and get corrections from them. Premiere Pro (Beta) now allows you to send the transcript to your copyeditor to make sure that brand names, lingo, names and titles are properly spelled and capitalized.   Watch the video below to see this workflow: Open up the Text Panel and make sure you are viewing the Source transcript In the Overflow menu select Export -> Export to text file Save the text file and send it to your copyeditor for corrections When you receive the corrected file, save it to your desktop  In the Overflow menu select Import -> Import corrected transcript Now you can use your corrected Source transcript to create a transcribed sequence and generate captions   Try it out and let us know how it goes.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYmdN-nvQkQ  

With AI-powered Enhance Speech now in Premiere Pro (beta), you can magically remove noise and improve the quality of dialogue with one click, so it sounds as if it were recorded in a professional studio! We need your feedback to optimize this feature further through adding a comment below and completing a short survey.   Here’s how to use it:  Open the Essential Sound panel and select a clip containing speech in your sequence. Click on “Dialogue."     Then, just click the “Enhance” button. When processing is complete, you can adjust the amount of enhancement using the Mix Amount slider. This slider allows you to mix your raw audio with the enhanced audio, allowing natural background noise to come through.   What kind of recordings work well with Enhance Speech?  Audio that is recorded with a low-quality microphone (phones, online meetings, on-camera mics) tend to be improved with Enhance Speech. It does not always work well with: Extremely very poor-quality

Update: this change was released in v25.1 of Adobe's video applications.   Beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder now include a major update to the technology that handles H.264 in MOV and MP4 containers. The goal of this update is to improve quality and make it easier for us to make changes quickly.    Customers should also see performance improvements in three difference scenarios:  On lower-end computers, customers should expect to see better performance of formats that are challenging to play back smoothly. For example, play back of 60 fps video from the Sony a7S III on a 8 GB MacBook  Air M1 should be noticeably  smoother.  On higher-end computers, the update enables more tracks of video to be played back smoothly.  On both computer types, export performance should be improved, particularly for complex projects.    Support for HEVC / H.265 will be added in an upcoming beta.    While this ch

Sharing work-in-progress for review via Frame.io is even faster and easier. Share for Review simplifies the exporting and sharing process to stakeholders for review and approval.    Frame.io is included with Premiere Pro and Creative Cloud subscriptions. Subscribers receive:  Two Frame.io users: Share your Frame.io account with another user to stay connected from home, the office, or on set.   Five concurrent projects: Keep your work for multiple clients organized with support for up to 5 concurrent projects.   100GB Frame.io storage: Enough footage to host multiple 4K HDR projects, audio files, LUTs, scripts, photos, and more!   Camera to Cloud: Send media right from your camera into your Frame.io account over WIFI, 5G, or LTE.    Try these Share for Review  actions now:    Click on the Share button in the header bar: Collaboration (Invite to Edit for Team Projects) and Sharing (Share for Review with Frame.io) are now

We are excited to announce the addition of two highly requested features, Custom Watermark & Embedded Captions Support, to your Proxy workflow in Premiere Pro (Beta).    Custom Watermark With this latest enhancement, you can now personalize your proxies with custom watermarks. This enables you to maintain a clear distinction between proxy and source media, enhancing visual clarity so you’re less likely to get mixed up.   How Does it Work? To enable custom watermark, go to the “Create Proxies” option from your media and select the “Choose a file” option from the Watermark dropdown. From there you can upload any image of choice which you can then see in your media in the Source panel after it is rendered by the media encoder.     Key Benefits: Visual Differentiation: Custom watermarks will help with clear identification of proxy-enabled media, minimizing confusion during the editing process. Personalized Editing Experience: Customize proxy watermarks provid

We are thrilled to announce enhancements to styles for graphics and captions! You can try them out in public beta starting with build 24.2x38. We are excited about your feedback!       Let's explore the two key improvements:  1. Thumbnails for Reference:  Easily reference your styles with the introduction of thumbnails.  2. New Style Browser:  Navigate and reuse styles seamlessly with the all-new style browser.    Styles Workflow Walkthrough:    Creating a Style  Create or Import a styles via the new plus button. Styles now appear with thumbnails in the Essential Graphics panel dropdown.    Note: Graphics styles are referred to as "Linked Styles," while captions styles are termed "Track Styles.". This distinction is important, as for caption styles always apply to the entire track, while for graphics, styles apply to text layers.    Create a style  Thumbnails   Updating a S

We got feedback from all of you that you want to change the length of pauses, since sometimes you just want to find the long moments of silence, and sometimes you want to find all the tiny little "umms" that someone says. (Thanks for all the survey feedback. If you haven't filled it out yet, it is here.)   To change pause duration in the Transcript panel: Open the overflow menu in the top-right corner Select "Set pause length" Pauses can be as short as 0.1s or as long as 2.5s      

We have added Norwegian (Bokmal), Swedish and Dutch to the Transcription Panel in Premiere Pro. Since I don't speak any of these languages I would love to know how well they are working for you. Please try some of your footage and let us know:   What kind of content are you transcribing? (zoom call, promotional video, YouTube DIY tutorial, Netflix documentary...)  Does it do better with certain dialects? If there are regional dialects that it doesn't handle as well, be specific about the names of the region, accent or dialect. How accurately does it transcribe numbers? (1984, February 1st) How accurately does it handle pop culture (movies, current events, famous people)? Will you use it in its current state?        

Hi all,   Now in beta is an updated version of the Warp Stabilizer. We've changed the way the analysis process happens by more efficiently processing multiple frames simultaneously to detect feature points. What this means is that you should get significantly reduced analysis time while still getting good quality stabilization results.   Please sure your feedback with us in the comments.    Thanks!

Update: This feature was released with version v24.4 of Adobe's video products. If you have questions or comments, please post them in the main Premiere Pro forum. Thank you for your feedback during the beta!    Beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder now include hardware acceleration for playback of more video formats: AVC LongGOP in MXF HEVC LongGOP in MXF HEVC Intra in MXF   Knowing which format is used in what camea can be a little confusing! While the list below isn't exhaustive, it covers some of the more common options.    Sony  Cameras: ILME-FX6, PXW-FS5, PXW-FS7, PXW-FX9, PXW-Z190, PXW-Z280, PXW-Z450, PXW-Z750, BURANO Formats: XAVC-L, XAVC H Intra, XAVC H Long,    Canon Cameras: C300 Mark III, C70, XF605, XF705 Formats: XF-AVC LongGOP   Panasonic  Cameras: CX series, P2HD series Formats: AVC-LongG50, AVC-LongG25, AVC-LongG12   Currently, hardware acceleration is

Parameters in the intrinsic audio effects including Volume, Pan, and Channel Volume previously had the time-varying parameter (also know as Keyframing) default to ON. This meant that the Timer icon next to the intrinsic audio effects was, by default, turned on. Any change made to the effect slider in the Effects Control panel resulted in Keyframes being added to timeline. This effected Volume Bypass and Level, Channel Volume Bypass and Channel Volume, and the Panner or Balance controls.   As of today's Premiere Pro beta version, the default setting for time-varying (Keyframing) will be off by default. If setting keyframes for these effects is a regular part of your workflow, just remember to click the timer to on before you add keyframes from now on. This will not effect existing projects, only new ones. This change reflects customer feed back and also makes the Intrinsic audio effects behave like all other effects in the Effects Control Panel.  

Offline clips are red, Cerulean’s blue.New in Premiere Pro, here’s something for you…    Use label color presets to select, name, and share your project’s unique label colors! Associate colors to label defaults and create a preset you can share with your whole team so you can stay organized together. Plus, when you right click on an item to apply a new label color, you’ll see a color swatch next to the name!     To access new label color presets, go to Settings > Labels. Adjust your label colors and defaults, then click Save label color preset. To import someone’s preset, click Import label color preset. You can click on the folder icon to navigate to where your label color presets are saved on disk.     You can also click the folder icon to navigate to saved and imported presets.

Track targeting just got a lot easier in Premiere Pro (Beta). You can select and target multiple source or target tracks by holding down CMD/CTRL as you click and drag the cursor across multiple track buttons in the timeline panel.   Holding down CMD/CTRL + Shift while dragging will invert the targeted selection.   This feature is available in Premiere Pro 22.6 x10 and later builds.    Please let us know what you think!   The new keyboard shortcuts are highlighted in green. Use CMD for Mac and CTRL for Windows.   Turn Tracks on/off: CMD/CTRL + drag. Whichever action is performed on the first track — turning on or off — will be applied to all of the tracks during the dragging action. You can drag through any number of video and audio tracks while holding down CMD/CTRL to perform this action.    Invert Selection of Currently Selected Tracks: CMD/CTRL + Shift + drag. Dragging the cursor across tracks that are already selected will selec

Now available in the beta versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects and Media Encoder is the ability to export H.264 in the .MOV / QuickTime container. Adobe's video applications have long been able to import and play H.264 / MOV and we are now adding the ability to export in this format. Look for the new export preset option, shown here:   H.264 / MOV is useful for two reasons: 1. Some applications and services (particularly older ones) require the use of .MOV. One example is the PIX review system by X2X.  2. H.264 / MOV supports up to 32 channels of audio while H.264 / .MP4 supports only 2. H.264 / MOV can therefore be useful in creating proxies with more than two channels of audio.    We'd love to get your feedback on H.264 / MOV support!   Regards, Fergus

Edit: This feature is now shipping in Premiere Pro v24. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback while it was in beta!   We released a new color settings panel a few months back which consolidates the color settings in one place for discoverability and ease of use. Thanks to our users who gave us feedback on the feature and spoke up about their concerns. With this update, we are updating the settings pane’s user experience based on feedback we had received post Beta. The new settings pane experience groups the settings and helps you interact with them in a more intuitive manner.   Below are key new changes in the settings tab -   Intuitive grouping of settings into sections in line with terminology used in settings across dialogs in the app today for an easier learning curve for our users. a) Preferences: This section allows you to choose ‘Display Color Management’ settings or ‘Transmit Device’ settings. The settings under this section will apply to all clips and proje

Over the past several years, the audio team has been modernizing the Premiere Pro code base, improving the way that audio effects are handled in playback and making them much more efficient.   As a result of these improvements, we’ve removed the “Use Legacy audio effect playback pre-roll” option from the Audio Preferences menu. It was a temporary alternative and is now obsolete. This will not have an effect on your workflow as the new system has been modernized for real time playback for audio effects. We wanted to inform you of a change happening to the preferences.   The removal is effective in the current 24.3 Beta and will take effect with the next general release of Premiere Pro (24.3).

You can now expand or collapse the Media location sections in Import Mode. The state of collapsed sections will be retained across Premiere sessions via application preferences. One valuable use case would be to favorite your most commonly used media locations, then collapse all other sections, leaving favorites expanded.     We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.

This feature is now shipping in the October 2022 release of Premiere Pro. Questions or comment about it should be posted to the main Premiere Pro forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro/ct-p/ct-premiere-pro.    -------------------   Use Simplify Sequence — new in today's Premiere Pro (Beta) build — to make a copy of your sequence that has been simplified based on options you choose. Simplify Sequence is perfect for when you want to clean up your timeline to focus on your story. It’s also great for sharing your sequence with another editor or preparing it for export via EDL, XML, or AAF. Simplify Sequence can be found in the Sequence menu, by right-clicking on a sequence, or by assigning and using the keyboard shortcut.   Locked tracks and the clips on them are always preserved. When using the “Close vertical gaps on video tracks” option your clips will not skip over a locked track. For complex sequences with many video tracks, you can use locked tra

We are pleased to announce some Markers Panel improvements for Pr 24.2 Beta, starting with build 016. Inside the Markers Panel menu, you will now see new filter options forShow All Markers, Show Sequence Markers and Show Clip Markers. Choose any one filter at a time to see the markers that are most relevant to in the Markers Panel. We have also added a setting to "Ignore selection in Timeline" if you want to filter markers without caring about what may be currently selected in the timeline. Here is what those new menu items look like in the latest Pr 24.2 public beta build: Along with these new viewing options, we have also enhanced the Markers Panel experience in other ways: If two or more track items (with Clip markers) are selected, you can now see all of their markers in the Markers Panel at the same time. Multiple markers can be selected at the same time in the Markers Panel and deleted together. This one was actually new for Pr 24.0 but we did not announce it broadly at that tim
