Feature Requests

REQUEST: If a keyframe is selected, edit its properties instead of creating a new one at the playhead. Yes, the arrow buttons jump the playhead to specific keyframes but this workaround adds unnecessary extra clicks and doesn't work when 'Selection Follows Playhead' is active (which I like). Plus, editing something that's selected is a fundamental workflow - right? Why break it? Please set me straight if I'm missing something basic, it's a common complaint but I haven't seen an answer sorry. Cheers, Ben

Please update your standard "Feature Summary" headers to include the version numbers they refer to rather than just the month of release. Conversely (or additionally), include the month of release on the "About Adobe Premiere Pro" screen in the application.   I'm currently sifting through previous "Feature Summaries" in order to do due dilligence before posting a bug report and some of them give version numbers and some don't making it very difficult for me to determine which one refers to my 22.6.4 (Build 2).

In avid you can easily assign each track to a specific channel.In premiere you have to assign each track to a pair of channels then pan that ENTIRE TRACK to select which of the two channels it goes to. It seems like an extremely dumb and messy way of selecting a channel for a track. We also need to be able to change those channels from mono to stereo. This is all pretty catastrophic when you have strange TV broadcast specs that ask for multiple full stereo mix channels as well as channels for M+E and M+E plus interviews and M but no E etc all in the same export. As well as (or in place of) this feature please allow us to assign submixes to channels, send the right tracks to the submix and then assign the submix to a channel and you bypass the whole operation of assigning every track to a channel.

How do you create a page peel default or preset with a specific direction. eg. i want my page to peel Southeast to Northwest. After applying the default (easy & fast) I then have to go to each individual transition and select the direction of the peel (very time consuming). Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to use auto frame if there are two people in a shot? I edit talks shows into vertical social media clips, and I'm constantly having to adjust my auto frame back and forth depending on who's talking. Can auto frame detect who is talking in the two-shot and focus on that person? Is there a work around if not?

Would anybody else want to be able to key in the value for the Time Remapping instead of having to drag the slider to make the edit? It allows for better accuracy which is critical for making speed ramps smooth. I understand there seems to be a limit on how precise the values can go especially when hitting the 1000s% but I rather it be rounded up/down when I type the value in, as opposed to clicking and dragging the slider in a haphazard manner. Seems pretty straightforward to implement for a lot of benefit, but I'm not software programmer so I can't say. 

Hello, One of my favorite editing techniques is pancake editing, which involves stacking two timelines on top of each other in my Premiere workspace. In my case, I usually have a sequence with all of my source footage on the top, and then my actual working sequence on the bottom. Something that would save me a ton of time is a keyboard shortcut that would allow me to hide/show or collapse/expand the source timeline vertically. I find myself spending unnecessary mouse strokes hiding and adjusting the height of the timeline. Keyboard shortcuts that could eliminate those mouse strokes would be awesome. Maybe even shortcuts that let me change the height of both timelines at the same time, by changing the latitude of the border between the two sequence panels? Thanks!Danny

Please fix that. Premiere v23.2 Kind Regards.

This is probably more an issue for New York, but I have found that in the auto transcription it does not get a lot of the words correct, like it mishears them. I think you need to run a lot more national dialects through the AI so that it can distinquish the ways different people speak. I have seen it predominantly with the African American interviews I've done.

Is there any reason the Transcript's search window needs to be so darn tiny?  Every time I write/paste a bit of unique text, if I need to modify it it's like trying to paint a ship in a bottle - very awkward. Can't it expand to the maximum area the window allows for? There is all that unused space to the right of the other buttons. 

Referring to:Project Window -> Clip Thumbnail View -> Blue Icon on the Bottom Right of each For more clarity 

Is theer a function in Premeire that will automatically cut to the camera of the person who is speaking when using MultiCam mode? For example, I edit video podcasts for work, and each person has their own camera (one-shots of each person). I use the Multicam feature to sync up the entire show. However, I still have to manually switch cameras each time someone speaks. Can Premiere detect who is speaking and switch to that camera?

I edit video podcasts,  and I have to add a lot of photos as B-Roll over my work. Each photo is a different size and aspect ratio. I have to add in a slow scaling effect (zoom in /zoom out or panning right/left) to give the photos motion. Is there a way to use a similar Autoframe feature to get photos the correct frame size? Additionally, is there a way to drop a simple slow scale effect on the picture? In other words, instead of the Scale effect being based on frames, it can also be based on time or scale percentage. I use up some much time manually resizing photos and then adjusting the scale effect when I really just need the photos to zoom in at the same speed each time.(NOTE: I understand that scaling speed is based on the time the photo is on the screen, (AKA the length of the photo on the timeline), but if there is a way for AI to auto calculate the speed based on the photo size and duration, that would be helpful instead of constantly keyframing it.)

A helpful addition to the Project Manager would be to include an option to keep folder structures when collecting files and moving to a new location. So instead of having just one folder with all the media content, premiere pro will output the files into the same folder structure created within premiere. After Effects saves the folder structure. Could Premiere Pro do the same?

Adobe, please make a quick key that will allow you to move a mask (hand tool) and create an anchor (pen tool) without having to rely on the UI to change to the tool when hovering around a mask. The scenario would look like.Draw small maskHold CTRL + ALT + M, cursor turns into hand, you move selected maskHold CTRL+ ALT + P, cursor turns into pen, you can add anchor where ever the cursor isHold CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+P, cursor turns into -Pen, you can subtract any point your cursor is over No more zooming, having to drag around all points. It just works the same as if the mask was large.

Hello everyone, I always write the resolution in the file name (e.g. "Imagefilm_2023_3840x2160").I would like to automate this naming of the file in the export process so that "3840x2160" is automatically inserted after the file name. How can I adjust that? In the best case, this is done via a preset?     [Moderator note: great idea, moved to Idea section.]

Hi there I would love to see the After effects motion tracking feature in Premiere Pro or a plug-in similar to it.It becomes a cumbersome task when you have two bones between both the apps to try and get tik tok effect just for that one auction.I am not sure how difficult or easy it is to implement this but I would really really love to see it in Premiere Pro.Thanks and kind regards.

I hate the unhelpful startup home page and specially the new project window. I use it never.Please, add an option in preferences to go to edit window on startup.Thanks,Lluís 

It's a pain in the ass how many times I label stuff with separate speakers, and it still bundles the captions together. I would love it if I could precisely separate the speakers on the transcribing process and have it be consistent once the captions are generated. 

I want you to be able to select whether or not to include punctuation marks in the automatic transcription function. 自動文字起こし機能で句読点の有無を選択できるようにしてほしい。ビデオの字幕では句読点を必要としないことが多い。句読点の有無を選択できるとテキスト編集の効率が上がるのでぜひ検討してほしい。

Hi,  After using the speech-to-text feature in the Premiere Beta version (23.3.0) , I need to export the transcript as a .vtt file that keeps the speaker partioning info intact. Currently, there are 3 options: export transcript (.prtranscript), export to text file (.txt) and export to csv file.However:I couldn't find any tool that convert from .prtranscript to .vtt.When converting a .txt to .vtt (or .csv to .vtt), I loose information about the speaker partitioningFor example:Source in CSV:"Speaker 1","00:00:01:04","00:00:12:00","This is my first sentence."Converted in VTT: 100:00:01.250 --> 00:00:02.625This is my first sentence. Ideally, when exporting .vtt files, the speaker names should be formatted as <v NAME > in order for other tools to correctly extract the speaker name. Is there any workaround I haven't thought about? Or is it something that Adobe will consider implementing? Thanks a lot!

It would be great to be able to copy an entire transcription at once and/or export to text file without including timecode would be great.  I add transcriptions of our videos to eLearning modules. The auto transcription and captioning is excellent and adding this would speed up final delivery as I have to copy a paragraph/ section at a time.

Every time we create something in the project panel, it does not automatically jump to the correct position alphabetically or numerically. It waits until you create another item or folder, then the previous new item jumps to position. If that irks you, you have to create a dummy item, then delete it. The only other workarounds are to click the Name caret twice, or close and reopen the project (the latter would be ridiculous, but is technically a workaround so I felt obligated to mention it).   

The "Include clip copies without effects" option in the AAF exporter is a great feature. However, many sound mixers we've sent Premiere AAFs to have complained about all the extra clips that are created with this feature. The common wishlist item is for the "_FX" tracks that are generated by the AAF exporter to only contain the  clips that have had effects applied to them, and not any of the other unaffected clips (isn't that the whole point of creating the "_No FX" tracks, to begin with? Also, does the punkrock band NoFX get any royalties every time someone uses this AAF export feature?) This way, the AAF import is much cleaner, and the mixer doesnt have to guess which non-effected clips  they have to delete from the imported _FX tracks.
