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

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!    We’ve made it faster and easier to edit and mix your audio directly in Premiere Pro (beta): Interactive Fade Handles: Simply click and drag to create a variety of custom audio fades on clips in the timeline. You can initiate a one-sided fade, or a cross-fade between two audio clips by simply dragging the handle to its neighboring clip.     AI-powered Audio Category Tagging: Automatically identifies and labels clips with icons for dialogue, music, sound effects, or ambience, providing one-click access to the most relevant tools for that type of audio.  Redesigned Clip Badges: Makes it easier to see which clips have effects, quickly add new effects, or adjust effect settings.    Modern, Intelligent Waveforms and Clips: Wave

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

The trim preferences in Premiere Pro Beta now offer a new option called "Ripple trim adds edits to keep both sides of trim in sync". With this option enabled, Premiere Pro will now add edits on tracks as necessary when ripple trimming, regardless of the direction of the trim operation, and will automatically ripple trim these added edits as part of the user's trim operation to keep both sides of the trim edit in complete sync. During a ripple trim, Premiere Pro will add edits to any clip that overlaps the trim selection, on any track that does not have an edit selected as part of the trim operation. The edits are added at the position of the first (leftmost) edit in a group of selected edits to trim. These added edits will automatically ripple trim along with any selected edits as the user proceeds with the trim. In places where the edit being trimmed is overlapped by a gap, the size of the gap is adjusted to accommodate the trimmed frames, and clips beyond the gap will stay in

In Adobe Premiere Pro 24.1 beta, Interpret Footage Input LUTs are embedded directly into a project file to make collaboration and sharing easier.   Previously, Input LUTs assigned to footage in the Interpret Footage dialogue were not embedded into a Premiere Pro project file. When you shared this project with someone else, or moved to a different machine that didn’t have the LUT, Premiere declared it offline and wouldn’t render it.   This meant requiring the extra step of sharing any associated Input LUTs assigned in the project file. In Adobe Premiere Pro 24.1 beta, this is no longer necessary because Input LUTs assigned in the Interpret Footage dialogue are now embedded into the project and travel with it.   An Interpret Footage Input LUT can be assigned to a clip in two locations:   1) By Control-Clicking the video clip in the Project Browser and selecting Modify > Interpret Footage > Color Dialogue.     2) In the new Lumetri Color Settings Panel

Improved Browsing in the Essential Graphics panel    We are thrilled to unveil the latest enhancements to browsing templates in the Essential Graphics panel, designed to elevate your Mogrt management experience. Below you will find a description of the changes and at the very bottom a couple of questions for which we would love to hear from you!    Streamlined organization  In response to user feedback, we have revamped the UI for Motion Graphics template locations. Instead of in a dropdown menu, we now display them as individual rows with check marks. This improvement makes it straightforward to browse a collection across different locations.    Drag & Drop between locations Our new UI empowers you to move or copy your Mogrts between different locations effortlessly. The process is intuitive, following the Finder/Explorer approach. Drag and drop to move Mogrts between local folders on the same disk, and they'll be copied if the folders are on di

We have streamlined the sequence presets by creating some new ones with the most common specs and moving all the old ones down to a “legacy” folder.      Access these presets whenever you create a new sequence from any of the following places: File menu > New > Sequence Project panel > New Item > Sequence (this is the little icon in the bottom right of the project panel)   We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.

As you saw in my earlier post about text panel enhancements, transcripts are becoming more central in editing workflows. Starting today in Premiere Pro (Beta) you can create rough cut edits from selected Text passages.   To start, you can generate transcripts of your footage in the background when you import your media. Alternatively, you can generate transcripts from the Text panel after your project has been created. Either way, the Sequence transcript panel dynamically syncs with your Timeline: as you make changes in your Sequence transcript, the Timeline will reflect your changes – and vice versa.   My colleagues and I created some starter footage for you, as well as a tutorial so you can try it out. If you tend to do all of your editing in a Sequence, follow the guidelines below and/or watch this tutorial. If you tend to do three-point (Source) editing, follow the guidelines below and/or watch this tutorial.   Sequence Editing Workflow Download the four v

The timeline panel’s method of displaying content is now faster and smoother than ever.   We’ve made some under-the-hood changes to the way the timeline UI is displayed which is reflected in edits, drag/drops, and scrolling, especially on large panels. Dragging the playhead is more responsive.   The feedback on trimming, dragging transitions and effects will now draw a blue, shaded rectangle instead of using an inverted color.   Auto scrolling when dragging the playhead or clips or during edits, is now variable speed and much smoother.   Please reach out if any have any issues, questions, or feedback.     We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.   

You can now start a new project based on a template project in import mode.  It’s common to repeat your same workflow from project to project and pros have learned that  creating a project template speeds things up when getting started and gives you a head start on organization.     Any project file can be used as a template.  The entire project structure will be copied into your new project including all bins, sequences, and media.   Copying the media is handy if you have media that gets reused a lot like intros, graphics, or bumpers.  Essentially, we are creating a duplicate of the project with the new name and location.  Any media that you select during import mode will also be added to the new project, but of course you don’t have to import anything at first.   Here's how it works: Enter import mode by choosing “New project” from the home screen or File > New project. Give your project a name and location Browse for a template from

You can now access your Team Project’s Version and Auto Save History by selecting the Team Project name in the Premiere Pro header bar. The new header bar menu also lets you select your Team Project settings.   Selecting Version History or Auto Save History opens the Media Browser in Premiere Pro and selects your open Team Project.     You can open any Team Project version or create a new Team Project from a version via the Media Browser.     You can also create a new Team Project from any Auto Save or make any Auto Saved version the latest version of your Team Project via the Media Browser.     Selecting Team Project Settings opens the Team Project Settings dialog which lets you edit the Team Project Name, the Description, the Collaborators as well as a number of other settings including Color, Scratch Disks, Ingest Settings, etc.   To learn more auto saves and versions of Team Projects:   https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/v

Today’s Premiere Pro Beta build introduces both a bug fix and a slight change in functionality to improve the playback experience with ProRes media.     The Problem  Premiere Pro was not displaying ProRes media at the proper bit depth on Apple silicon systems when hardware decoding was enabled. Rather than playing back at the expected bit depth of 32-bit float, they would play back at 8-bit which would produce banding artifacts on playback and export. That bug has been addressed starting with Premiere Pro Beta build 23.3.0.18.      Updated Functionality  There are several settings that go in to determining the performance and playback quality of media in Premiere Pro. Two of the most important settings are High Quality Playback and Maximum Bit Depth.       High Quality Playback   This setting can be found in the context menu of both the Source and Program Monitor. Enabling this setting allows for a better q

Available now in Premiere Pro Beta: Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate transcripts in the Text panel so you can find pauses and navigate your sequence using keyboard shortcuts. This means that when you transcribe your sequence at the beginning of a project, you can now scan the transcript to find moments of interest, bad takes, good quotes, and long pauses.   Navigation: Navigate through the Text panel using familiar text editing keyboard shortcuts. The playhead will follow your cursor navigation so you can easily jump to the selected moment in the transcript. Selections: Use text selections to set in/out points in your sequence. Enable and disable the in/out point button in the Transcript tab to activate this functionality. Detect pauses: Show or hide pauses in a transcript and navigate between pauses. This will allow you to easily find long moments of silence that you don’t want included in your edit.     Please be aware of the following: These features are design

Edit: This feature is now shipping in Premiere Pro v24. Thanks to everyone who provided feedback while it was in beta!   Note: since the message below was posed, we have updated the color settings user experience. Please refer to the post here for more information.    With the latest update to Premiere Pro in Beta, we have made finding and using color settings easier. Color settings in the application are now in one place in the new ‘Settings’ tab in the Lumetri Color panel. So, if you want to quickly select the Media Color Space or add an Input LUT while editing and doing color correction, you can do so within the Lumetri Color panel without hunting for settings in different dialogs. As an advanced user, you can find all color settings from ‘Auto Tone Map Media’ to ‘HDR Graphics White (Nits)’ across the application in one place to quickly update while color correcting and grading.   Screen above shows the Lumetri Color panel with the new ‘Settings’ tab.

We added a little quality of life feature which has been highly requested by users.  We now have editing properties of multi graphics selections in beta (version Premiere beta 23.0). With this you can select multiple graphics in your sequence and change the font for the selection in one go!       Align and Transform is not supported, but all the cool stuff that you had been asking for: fonts, font size, color, background etc. This feature is for text only, any shapes that are part of the selection will not change when multi-selecting.    Hope you like it!   -------How do I install Premiere Pro beta? In the Creative Cloud desktop app, select Beta apps in the left sidebar of the Apps panel. Then select Install for Premiere Pro. You can run beta builds side by side with the release versions of Premiere Pro.

I am pleased to introduce you to Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro (Beta), which makes assembling a rough cut as simple as editing a Word document. Transcribe your footage upon import, search for key moments, cut and paste sentences, and watch the clips in your timeline follow your edits.   We’ve been working hard on Text-Based Editing, and we want your feedback.     How Does Text-Based Editing Work? Text-Based Editing is available in the Premiere Pro (Beta) which you can download and install separately from the current Premiere Pro release.   Because Text-Based Editing is a new way of working in Premiere Pro (Beta), we have created a Text-Based Editing Workspace which provides more screen real estate for the Text Panel and places the Source Monitor and Program Monitor in the same window.   Watch this tutorial to learn how to: Transcribe your footage for Text-Based Editing Set up the Text-Based Editing Workspace Search for key moments Do 3-Point Editing (Ins

NEW: Retain your custom export destinations for all clips and sequences in any project!    Previously, custom destinations were saved per sequence with no easy way to share them with other sequences and projects.    Now you can add and edit a single set of custom destinations in Export mode that are available globally. Simply open a sequence or clip In Export mode and set up multiple custom destinations – those will now be available globally.    Note: for sequences, presets assigned to custom destinations are unique to each sequence.  For clips, presets assigned to custom destinations are shared across all clips.    We want to know what you think.  Please join the conversation below.   

With the latest update, we have fixed the existing LUT indexing issue due to which adding custom LUTs to the technical or creative folders would break the previous relationship between all clips and LUTs selected and users had to manually re-link the clips.   Now, users can add custom LUTs without any impact to existing projects and clips. The custom LUTs added to the ‘Creative’ or ‘Technical’ folders will show up in the LUT dropdown when users launches Premiere and creates a new project. This will not impact LUTs selected in existing clips.   This impacts the following workflows - Adding custom LUTs to a clip will not break existing LUT relationships linked to a clip across the project. Transferring the projects between systems with different sets of custom LUTs will work seamlessly. Team projects on systems with different set of LUTs can communicate any changes to the applied Lumetri LUTs without errors. Previously since these changes were based on LUT index in popup -

In order to ease the transition from an established Legacy Titler workflow to an Essential Graphics workflow, we have added two new commands that allow you to upgrade your Legacy Titles into Source Graphics in the latest Beta build of Premiere Pro. You can access these commands through keyboard shortcuts or through the top Graphics menu: • Upgrade Legacy Title • Upgrade All Legacy Titles   What are Source Graphics?   Source Graphics are a kind of Essential Graphic that behave similar to Legacy Titles in the sense that they have a project item, you can track usage through the metadata column for Video Usage and edits made to the project item or an associated track item will ripple edits through all track items.   Note that Source Graphics do not support rolls or Responsive Design Time. By the way, any Essential Graphic can be turned into a Source Graphic through the "Upgrade to Source Graphic" command in the Graphics menu (make sure the focus is on the timeline). &nb

ARRIRAW is one of the most popular formats used for professional video production. Now, with our new Beta release, ARRIRAW Log C source media’s color space is correctly identified automatically instead of being recognized as Rec 709. We do not color convert the media to the working color space today so that you can follow your original workflow of applying a LUT to the footage to convert it to your preferred working/timeline color space. With this automatic detection, you now have the ability to apply the LUT via the interpret footage dialog as well i.e. via ‘Select a source clip-> modify->Interpret footage -> input LUT’ apart from the input LUT option already available in Lumetri panel. If you are using ARRIRAW in Rec 709 color space for source, the media will be fully color managed now. That is, it will be automatically color converted to the working color space you are using for your sequence e.g., Rec 2100 HLG, Rec 2100 PQ etc. You can access the ARRIRAW source settings vi

We released an ability for users to choose auto-log detection at an app preference level in Premiere early this year. Since users wanted the ability to apply this setting while exporting via Application Media Encoder as well, this setting is now available at a project level instead.     This setting will automatically detect the media color space of log videos when you add them to a new Premiere Project where auto-detect is on and also color convert to Rec 709 if you choose the same in your timeline color space. So, you don't have to manually go and update source media or apply a LUT. You can futher use the tone mapping feature we released earlier this year to tone map your log videos when editing in Rec 709 so that the highlights don't look blown out. The auto-log detect setting is off by default for all projects.    To apply this setting, go to color settings tab in Project settings and turn it on. So now any project exported from Premiere will have the setting ap
