Feature Requests

Perhaps I've missed this feature somewhere but it seems obvious that Photoshop's "Select subject" technology could be used to automatically animate subject masks in Premiere Pro. Is there a way to currently do this or is this feature at least being considered in a future update?

I've been running a project from a local server, but my mac usually disconects from the server on reboot. If I haven't reconnected to the server folder in finder before launching the project Premiere Pro offlines the media and presents the relink media panel because it can't access the files. That's fine, but after reconnecting the folder in finder I still have to locate one of the files to force a relink of all the videos despite all paths actually remaining the same. It would be nice if there was a 'retry' or 'refresh' button that you could use if you've reconnected a network drive, or re-plugged in an external drive where you are just telling Premiere Pro 'hey check that again, should be where you think they are now'. Easier for the user, presumbably easier for the software as it doesn't need to update any paths (or check about updating them). 

I like how I can export the transcribed text to a .txt file. But I wish there were more export options. Specifically exporting to a Microsoft Word file. 

I need the ability to quickly find the video used in the current sequence via search bin and transcode and relink this footage. Unlike the "consolidate" feature I just want my clips to be transcoded so I can still work with all the other clips. But in the "search bins" I can not filter for "video used", I have to add metadata to those clips to search for them AND then I cannot add proxies or relink/replace footage on those clips in the search bin. I have to go to EVERY folder manually, select those clips and relink them. This takes SO much time!

I'm using a FullHD display and working with with 4k footage. When I need to animate a mask a part of which goes out of the screen, the only way of doing so is setting a smaller zoom level.The problem is that 75-50-25% IS WAY bigger than the program monitor screen is, even the 25% makes it look like that (cropped):So why is 100% not actual 100% of the screen but rather a multiply by two? Isn't it logical to make FIT a 100% zoom level and the rest of the numbers - higher or lower from that number? And to say the least, why cannot Adobe make it changeable by just typing the necessary number should it be 1123or 19 or change via the mouse scroll like it is in Ae...So the only ways for me is either go fullscreen every time which is completely not convenient or go by 10% like that:Have you tried masking at 10%, Adobe? This is so exciting! 

Add a transcode feature within Pr for VFR to CFR. This would resolve issues related to clips that are constant Frame Rate but devolve into Variable Frame Rate during the file upload from CFexpress media to PCs. This is a known cause of Pr indicating a few, less than 50, dropped frames, but without actual errors noted. Thank you 🙂

  In the Timeline panel of the Preferences window, the checkbox "At playback end, return to beginning when restarting playback" doesn't just affect playback in the Timeline, but also in the Source Monitor. Why is this a problem? Because users have very good reason to NOT WANT to return to the beginning of their Timeline when restarting playback, while also ALWAYS WANTING to do so in the Source Monitor. Unfortunately, the all-or-nothing approach of this checkbox affects playback in both the Timeline AND Source Monitor.  This design is illogical, and frustrating.  Playback in the Source Monitor should ALWAYS return to the beginning of a clip when restarting playback from the clip's end since there is simply ZERO reason the ever not want this to happen. Whether this is indeed a bug or by (very poorly thought out) design, I am not sure, but either way, this needs to be fixed.  It should be a relatively simple fix.  Simply set the Source Mon

I would like to see the ability to pan the timeline while holding down the middle mouse button. Like a temporary hand tool without having to switch tools. I believe this is the behavour DaVinci Resolve uses and really speeds things up.

If you search for text, a nice feature is you can "auto select" the searched words. But if you want to select just a portion of what you searched for you can't tell what You have selected. the section colour is nullified by the search colour. It's also heard to see that the auto selection is applied. Dragging and selecting the searched text should overlay a unique colour or should invert the text so it's clearer to see what you selected. Kind of like the way Adobe inverts a selection of text in Photoshop so you can see what you're doing.  Thx for listening.

Editing text is a wonderful feature. But searching for something is unneccesarily awkward. The search window is just too darn small. If I'm searching for a phrase, even three or four words long (which is what you need to find a unique bit of dialogue) it can frequently be too large for the window. Why is this a problem? Well... if you have a few words in the window the and can't see the beginning or end of your search, and  nothing is found, you can't tell you may have accidentally added a space, or you didn't actually clear your previous search, or you have a typo. To modify it you have to awkwardly slide around inside the windows or use the arrow keys to slide to the start or end to see if you made a mistake. It's like looking through a keyhole to read a page of a book. As far as the interface, I can't see any reason why the window needs to be this small. Please, please, please make it bigger - expanding depending on the size of the text panel.  Thanks for listening.

Anytime we use warp stablizer, it adds significantly to the project file size. This is problematic as large file sizes cause poor performance. Can adobe find a way to store the data created from warp stabalizer outside of the project file, like in media cache or in a scratch folder? A lot of projects that lean heavily on handheld material rely on warp stabalizer. In the past I've either resisted using it at all or resorted to doing stablizing in After Effects then rendering. This is way too combersome. We need to be able to use warp stablizer in the app without a ballooning project size.

It would be great to be able to select sequences and just reduce the project itself without having to consolidate and transcode. Basically just the ability to effect the project and not the media. 

It took me 3.5 hour to finally copy paste 547 lines cause there is no way to convert a docx file to SRT (Captions). I believe it would be a must to add a new feature so others don't waste an whole night trying to figure it out. 

Hey there,  since we have to work with different aspect rations and projects from different people it happens from time to time that one clip is not properly allignt and therefore a little black border is visible in the final render. I wondered if there is an overlay for that, which you can turn on that shows you in the programm monitor if some space is empty? Instead of a small barely noticeable black border some more visible orange or red diagonal lines? This would be very handy but so far I couldn't find such a function. Maybe I just didn't find it because I searched for the wrong name?  I am curious about your feedback 🙂

"Transcript-Based String Outs of Non-Adjacent Dialogue" is a tool designed for video editors using Adobe Premiere Pro, particularly beneficial for projects involving multiple takes of the same script lines, such as in film or TV production.Example Usage:Imagine you're editing a film scene with multiple takes of a specific line, "We need to leave now!" Each take is slightly different in terms of performance, timing, and emotion. Instead of manually searching through each take to compare the line deliveries, you use the "Transcript-Based String Outs of Non-Adjacent Dialogue" tool.Transcription: First, ensure your footage is transcribed in Premiere Pro's Transcript/Text window. This transcription should accurately reflect the dialogues from all takes.Selection: Using the tool, you select the line "We need to leave now!" from one of the takes in your transcribed sequence.String Out Creation: Right-click and choose the "String Out" option. The tool then scans through the entire sequence, us

Hi all, I work with MXF files OP1a   MPEG-2 LONG-GOP I wanted.... (Information about internal engineering tools was removed). Note: my Premeire is 2020 (14.1)   Computer:  GPU: Quadro K5000 IntelR Xeon CPU E5-2670 64 GB RAM   Many thanks in advnaced!    Moderator note: Edited for content. Please do not discuss the internal engineering tools in this forum. Thank you. I will move this to our Ideas forum.

I would like a dedicated command for copying and pasting a clip's Lumetri colour effect. As of today you can copy all of a clip's properties, but then you have to uncheck all the other properties that you don't want to be copied, which is tedious and enoying.  Having a dedicated shortcut, or even better, a number of presets, for this task would speed up the workflow tremendously.

It seems like the latest version of Premiere Pro's offline documentation is from way back in 2019.   I can understand why it might have made sense to transition to online only documentation. But with the advent of large language models and stuff like OpenAI's "custom GPT" feature where you can feed the thing reference files that it can use to give better answers, it would be very beneficial to be able to put all the documentaiton into one file.   Basically you could just give an LLM a big document and then ask it about the issue you're having with the software, then it could look through all the documentation and potentially figure it out for you. I've already done this with documentation from other software with some decent success.   I think it will be a pretty universal feature for LLMs in the future so might be worth considering offering such combined documentation in the future. It wouldn't even need to be formatted nicely, it could literally just be the content of

Right now, there is no support for variable frame rate files which means video is out of sync after importing it. I strongly suggest that a feature be available allowing for variable support so that video doesn't constantly go out of sync after importing.

Some third-party tools like TimeBolt.io can automatically delete silence and provide an Edit Decision List (EDL) that you can import directly into Premiere1.I want this feature!!!Thanks in advance

Submix audio tracks would benefit massively from features available to other tracks. There are two primary features I would love to see: 1. A psuedo clip function that locks any keyframing to the other tracks. For example if I have finished my edit and added a load of keyframes to the submix tracks, then I need to lose the first three seeconds from the edit, it would be great if when I pull up the video and audio on the timeline, the submix tracks do the same thing, so the keyframes effectively stay locked to the specific part of the timeline, rather than remain independent. 2. The submix tracks should be selectable in Essential sound. For example, if I have 8 music tracks, due to the fact I am using stems from the music composer to change the way the music builds up, I can patch these all to a music submix. It would be very useful if I can then tell Essential Sound that this submix is my music. Then I could use features such as ducking on the submix. This would be particular

I love the new crossfade handles for audio tracks, but I would really love to see readily available cross dissolve handles on the ends of video tracks as well. This could improve the workflow by not having to pull up the "Effects" window and dragging the cross dissolve effect onto the beginning, end, or in-between clips. Yes, there are quicker ways, such as programming a keyboard shortcut, or even copying a cross dissolve to your clipboard and pasting as needed. But if you have quick handles for fading in audio, why not have handles for fading in video as well? 🙂 Thanks!

It would be cool if Adobe could add vp09 support to Premiere Pro. Got more and more vp09 files in the last months and since the plugin is not longer working with the newest versions it would be very helpful!

Option so that when transcribing the audio to subtitles, do not put punctuation symbols such as commas, periods, capital letters at the beginning of each sentence or accents...For Example, now Premiere Pro will transcribe like this:- The other day I was in the woods, I was bored and I didn't know what to do. It was getting dark.An option to receive this:- the other day i was in the woods i was bored and i didn't know what to do it was getting darkSeen like this, it's not pretty or visually attractive, but I'm thinking (because I'm currently working on it) about FAST content for networks, like SHORTS, instagram states... 30-second promotional shorts, where the subtitles last 1 second because they go very fast and they have at most one or two words and then the next subtitle appears.In this case, the punctuation symbols, the commas, the capital letters after a point... They don't make sense, because you don't see a whole sentence, you see a word after word because the content is vertical

Render and Replace is a great function but appears to only render a full video. It wouyld be great to be able to render and replace a MOGRT so it acts like a finished graphic with alpha, allowing you to still edit the images under the graphic. This would allow the timeline to work much faster and make the system more responsive while editing, but retaining the ability to adjust the parameters of the MOGRT is required.
