Feature Requests

Here we are in 2024 and Adobe still have NOT added this option to Premiere Pro, it's frustrating when you can do this in AE in a second.  Adobe, please fix this, please add this to Premiere Pro please !

I'd love the ability for a reveal in finder functon for the timeline. So many times I have a ton of clips i'm working with and I forget where things were placed on a massive timeline. Having the ability to right click and press a "find in timeline" to jump directly to where that clip lives on the timeline would be amazing.

Having a premier or after effects feature that will be able to show me green screen in reel time would be amazing. I'd basically be using something like my Canon R5c to run a live video feed, into a laptop which will have a duplicated view onto another monitor. With that I'd like to apply the Green screen in real time. This would be a great feature and something I really needed now, but unfortunately Adobe doesn't support it.   [moved to Idea board by mod]

Hello I saved a preset of a text (graphic obtained from a caption), and I wanted to apply it to the other text graphics. I saved a presert  by doing ctrl+A (select all effects, in the effects control) then I went to the effects panel (on tle bottom left) and applied my preset to the rest of texts, and the result was that the content TEXT from the first text graphic wa transfered to all other text graphics (the original would show up but also the text of the saved preset) How to solve this?

Something I'd love to see rolled out in a future update is better fine control for manipulating the key-frame "rubber bands", when using the mouse in the timeline. I know the same thing can be done with much more precision in the effects panel, but sometimes I just want to quickly pull up the rubber band in the timeline without having to change panels and change individual keyframes. As it stands, when I click and hold the rubber band in the timeline, then slide the mouse gently up or down, nothing happens... nothing happens... nothing happens... BAM! Minus infinity! It's really hard to get the rubber band to the level I want. I'd love the behaviour to be the opposite: the band moves up or down in very small increments, instead of very large increments. I know this is an archaic way of doing it, but I do wonder what others think of this suggestion?

Currently I separate my audio types by track, Dialogue, SFX, and music each in their own tracks. There should be a way for Auto-Tagging to understand this and simply use my track assignments rather than using AI to guess. That way I would know that it's always getting it right.

Before you say to turn it off, I must say that I need this feature as everybody else who dosn't want to lose a ton of time dedicated to work just because Premiere Pro decided to crash again. But the feature interrups creative flows, critical ones. Sometimes you are deep into editing with your mind 1000% focused and Premiere decides to save in a critical moment of that process. If is a small session it just takes a second. But a what about feature films or 1 hour productions? It takes longer, a lot and then it just decides to get stuck ruining your creative flow. We live in the era of AI, Cant this thing detect when im cliccking , scrobbing, using shortcuts in the keyboard like nuts? Really? Or cant it just save quielty withouth a pop up window runing your working session?Thank you.

Why is there no purge button easily visible to reset preferences and delete the cache without closing the program, as in After Effects? With two clicks, performance issues can be solved without losing workflow or searching through poorly organised settings menus. When the button is pressed, it asks if you want to save your project, and then a window pops up asking what memory dump needs to happen, for example, checkboxes for the following:Delete ChacheClear Current System RAMClear Video RAMReset PreferencesEns.....Whatever else helps with Premiere Pro performance and proper functioning in all windowsThen, a window asks if you want to restart Premiere Pro. This would collect all knowledge and issues complained about thus far about Premiere Pro's memory problem and fix a long-standing irritation most people have with Premiere. 

Adobe have scrapped support for Rosetta moving from the Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2024 update.   As per consultation with an Adobe support agent, I was told that while the CCDA (Creative Cloud Desktop Application) still shows the ability to open using Intel, this still runs in M1 (MAC ARM) mode only.   This is confirmed in the Known issues in Premiere Pro Knowledgebase article here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/known-issues.html#sa_src=web-messaging   This means that plugins that were developed prior to the relatively recent release of M1/M2 systems, can no longer be used with Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a huge loss.   While I understand that this was probably done in order to make performance improvements, please reconsider or find a different way to allow Premiere Pro to be booted in Rosetta mode, if a Premiere Pro user would like to boot with that option and have it remembered with the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox on macOS.   Cheers!  

No one likes extra mouse clicks. After entering a persons name here, it would be great if pressing return would close the menu and save instead of actually having to click save. 

We need noise reduction for video natively in Premiere Pro. It's time we stop using third party software like Neat Video.

I am amazed that there is no option to "feather the edge" on a simple wipe.  Yes, there are other ways to make the effect happen but they all seem to take time to 'set up'.   

Hi, I'd love it if the wizards who coded the Warp Stabilizer could create a similar tool that could turn any pan in buttery smooth ones, with adjustable ramp ups and down, even when the camera operator was not skilled enough, or had to use a non-video tripod, or tightened the tripod controls too much, or stumbled on a tripod leg when doing a pan of THE action not to be missed...   Thank you in advance!

The colorist's work lacks a global color offset ring to balance the frame. Currently, there is no possibility to quickly adjust the white balance without any effort in the presence of an offset wheel in the color panel (screenshot attached). When to appear and how long to wait? This is an incredibly necessary addition.  

I suppose it can be done if converted into graphic items, but it just seem more straightforwed and "convenient" to have it as an option on the captions "items" themselves, for example Let say I want to "try" hiding the caption at the begin of a video: The selected subtitle items coudl benefit from a right click -> uncheck ENABLE,am I the only one who think that?Maybe that's just me. Maybe captions were not make for this purpose. Suggestion2: I understand having all subtitle tracks be hidden when you unhide one, but what about if I want to have 2 subtitle tracks for .. ease of read what's happening on my UI? Let's say I am working on 2 styles and experimenting and want to be able to select easily a portion of the captions items from on track and the other portion from the other track, it's easierto have more than one track active at a time.That's what I do with videos anyway or audios or graphics or titles and what not.

The attach proxies window needs the same "Display Only Exact name Matches" check box option that the normal Link Media relinking window has as an checkbox option! 

After reading the discussion in https://community.adobe.com/t5/download-install-discussions/how-to-change-the-adobe-preferences-folder-location/td-p/10357469 I would like to bring up the idea to create the possibillity to change the location where the Premiere Pro profile is stored. The default location is conflicting with programs like OneDrive and/or iCloud in a way that it causes synchronisation issues.

I know, Premiere DOES display offline clips as such in the timeline, but when you have a long and complex timeline with hundreds or thousands of clips (and especially if there are nested sequences within that long and complex timeline), it is not always easy to find where the offline media is located. And we've all received the dreaded message when we are about to export a movie: "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the Offline Media graphic." (Or even worse, you exported something and the offline media graphic was included in it!)  So when Premiere give us this message during export, it should come with a list of which clips are offline and where. This feature already kinda sorta exists in Media Encoder (see attached image), but it would be more intuitive to obtain the info directly from Premiere, since this is where we will need to fix the problem. It would also be nice to be able to easily locate offline media in the timeline at any time, not on

Is there a way to have Premiere detect when something starts moving in a video and either generate a marker or, better yet, a bin of subclips that contain only the moving bits?   Example: Imagine a static shot of a road with intermitant traffic, and you only want the clips that have vehicles passing by. I am going to have hours of footage that I need to trim out the "dead air" and have individual clips of the live traffic, and would rather let out AI overlords handle this task if possible.   I have tried using the scene edit detection feature, and there must not be enough of a change for it to detect as there were no markers/clips created.   Thanks in advance for your input.

Coming from Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, one expects to be able to do /2 or +10 or *3 when one is in a numerical field. One can do it in Sequence Settings, but, unless I missed something, not in Effects Controls, where it would be most useful. Thank you in advance!

It would be great to have:  Set To Frame Width Set To Frame Height  The Set to Frame Height would be essential for editing vertical videos. I know Auto-Reframe is the intended solution for that. Auto-reframe is fantastic for specific scenarios.  However, Auto-Reframe has limitations --you can't turn off tracking,  it changes the clip data, etc. It makes it challenging to be consistent when working with multiple clips or making a cut on the same clip.  I'm requesting this again as it's been an ongoing pain point for me and, I'm sure, many others. TIA! 

I have been obsessed with MOGRTs since I have learned about them. I know their main purpose is for small little customizable graphics. However, I have also found them super useful for being able to quickly edit cool layouts and transitions for those layouts without actually need to animate every time. Please view the video below to see what I have made and am referring to: In order to create something like this in Premiere Pro, you need to use 3 MOGRTs back to back. 1 for the transition into this layout, 2 for the layout itself, and 3 for exiting the layout. See below:  If you look at the timeline above, you will see 3 MOGRTs (in pink) and then a camera and screen track for the video. The issue is that I can't just copy/paste the clips from the sequence timeline into the MOGRT. I have to export them to my computer, import them into Premiere Pro, and then place them in the MOGRT. It would be amazing if we could copy/paste from the sequence timeline to save time

I can't find how to reposition (or move playhead to a different part of clip) but wanting the playhead to keep playing without pausing. I move playhead and it pauses.  Could we have this feature?

It's great that the devs do keep adding formats to both 'supported media' and to the 'color managed media' ... there's several new ones in the last couple days alone in the beta builds. But there's no way IN HADES we users can track which build handle what formats/codecs, for either support or color management! We need a permanent, top-level Menu listing,  Supported Formats and Color Managed Media ... that would list all the formats/codecs and color managed ones usable in that build. This would NOT require any real coding, should be easy and quick to do, and ... would be a huge benefit for so many of us users!

When looking at clips in source window, I often use the waveform to find where answers begin in long interviews. Switching between video and waveform is easy when adding shortkey. Even easier would be to have the possibility to overlay the waveform over video.Something like this:
