Feature Requests

I understand that Adobe want’s to focus on ai, efficiency, and innovation, but this new premiere update’s masking tools are quite cumbersome. What is the thought behind improving efficiency with the new mask tool workflow? I may be missing something. I understand that adobe want’s us to embrace the object masking tool, but that type of object masking is not terribly common in my videos.I do a lot of opacity masking where I overlay clips on top of other clips. My workflow used to be:Create mask by selecting one of the premade shapes or pen tool in the opacity section of the desired clip. Enable keyframing of the mask’s path  Move timeline and move mask to create keyframeNew workflow to follow:Create mask by finding tool in sequence toolbar, select shape or draw Assign mask to opacity Select the “frame” button on the frame/clip selector Enable key framing the mask’s path Move timeline and move mask to create keyframe.This new workflow is far less efficient in my use. I’d like to have the

I'd like the option to export closed captions as .vtt files. Some of my clients only accept this format, and doing it manually or with different software is either very time consuming or costly.

Another update has arrived (26.3) But it's sad. I didn't see the Ukrainian language in the list again. I don't understand why, because 4 years ago a request was created that gained a lot of support among users, everyone wants native language support in Premiere, without boring transcriptions by third-party services and importing into the program. Give at least a hint whether we should expect this wonderful update in the near future?

Surprisingly, from the makers of Photoshop, the industry standard graphic design suite, the UI of the Premiere sequencer section is underwhelming. Sequencer (Timeline section):-Many sequencer options, selection tools and editing features, that are standard in other software, require multiple clicks and workarounds in Premiere.-When trying to edit the clips on the Timeline or clear the selection by clicking on an empty area on the track, the selection cursor brackets only render the track with an extra bracket or white background.-The selection Brackets and the Playhead don’t visually align with the precise edit points compared to other sequencers in the market.-When automating clips to the Markers based on Audio tempo, they aren’t evenly rendered in the Timeline, requiring the user to move them back and forth, to finally end up with the correct clip length and visual timeline width for the edit.Recommendation to start using Pro Tools for a while to see the contribution an amazing Seque

Currently when using “Render and Replace” you pick a location to render to, but no matter what project you open, that location is set to the last location you used, it should be a project based location so if you switch projects it remembers the last location you rendered to for that project. 

Premiere Pro desperately needs a Global Audio Effects Mute button (or an "All Audio Effects Bypass" toggle per track/sequence), functioning exactly like the current Global Video FX Mute feature. Currently, processor-heavy VSTs and track-level audio effects cause severe playback stutter—especially when utilizing the J−K−L keys to edit at 1.5× or 2× speeds.The Problem & Workflow BottleneckFor editors handling long-form content (podcasts, interviews, voiceovers), applying track-level effects like denoisers, compressors, and EQs early in the workflow is standard practice. However, these effects are highly CPU-intensive.When scrubbing through a timeline at accelerated playback speeds to make quick cuts, the audio processing cannot keep up, resulting in extreme stuttering, digital artifacts, and lagging.Why Current Workarounds Fail "Add Effects Last": Suggesting that editors add audio effects at the very end of a project is unrealistic for modern, fast-paced workflows where clients requi

A selective FX mute button for the timeline would be incredibly useful. Right now, we only have the global FX mute in the monitor window, but I'd love the ability to mute only specific heavy effects on the timeline that cause playback stutter, like all Noise Reduction FX for example, while keeping others active, such as my Lumetri Color adjustments.What I’m envisioning is something similar to the Remove Attributes function, but instead of deleting the selected effects, it would let you temporarily disable certain effects on your timeline. Ideally, you could toggle certain effects on and off for the whole timeline at once, like you would for individual clips.

There's a very useful 'replace clip' function that does not have a keyboard shortcut, be very useful if it did, e.g.  'Replace with Clip > From Bin, Match Timing'. As an additional - 'Replace with Clip > From Bin, Match TimeCode' and 'Replace with Clip > From Source Monitor, Match TimeCode' would also be usefulBrief overview of drag behaviour:Shift + Alt + Drag from BinMatches playhead-relative position between selected timeline clip and dragged bin itemExample:If the timeline playhead is 5 seconds into source clip 1, the replacement will begin 5 seconds into source clip 2. If the 2 items start with the same timecode then it is the equivalent of 'Replace with Clip > From Bin, Match TimeCode'2nd+ selected clips → remain in temporal sync with the first (no shot repetition)

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?

Subject: Adobe Creative Cloud User Experience Improvement SuggestionsDear Adobe Team,I am a long-time Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber and professional content creator. Over the years, Adobe products have become the industry standard for creative professionals. However, there are several workflow issues that regularly consume valuable production time and create unnecessary frustration.I would like to share the following suggestions for improvement.1. Improve Adobe Fonts Library OrganizationCurrently, font families are automatically expanded to display all font variations such as Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Black, and Italic.For users with large font collections, this creates an extremely long and cluttered list. Finding fonts becomes difficult, and users often spend time manually collapsing font families just to navigate the library efficiently.Suggested Improvements: Keep font families collapsed by default. Add "Expand All" and "Collapse All" buttons. Provide better filtering and

Dear Adobe Premiere Pro Team,As a professional video editor, I rely heavily on speed and keyboard-driven workflows. After Effects has FX Console, which allows instant searching and applying of effects using a single shortcut.Premiere Pro currently lacks a similar fast, global effect search and apply system. Adding an FX Console–style feature—where editors can press a shortcut, type an effect name, and apply it directly to selected clips—would greatly improve productivity.This would be especially valuable for editors working with large effect libraries, presets, and frequent repetitive workflows.I strongly believe this would be a high-impact quality-of-life improvement for Premiere Pro users.Thank you for your continued development of Premiere Pro.Sincerely,Tarang Singh

I want to be able to apply any effects whereever I am inside Premiere Pro just by calling up a search bar for effects. For example I do CNTL+Space and a search bar pops up and I simply search for the effect I need.There a third party plug-in from Video Copilot for after effects. Foundry Nuke has the same thing, you just need to press Tab and everything is ready to go.

Do you have any data on how many people use the Anti-flicker Filter? Would none% of users be accurate? Why is that still there? I want to turn it off cos I never use it and it's at the very top of the list of effects.. I'd love it if we could hide/show the various options within the Effect Controls to gain precious space back for the things we don't use.For eg, you'd just right click on Motion and toggle on/off the ones you don't want. Same with Opacity, Time Remapping and any additional effect you add on.  The crop tools are especially egregious. Sure that might be helpful sometimes but for 4 lines of real estate to be constantly in my face when I'm mostly not using it, and then all my additional effects are a large scroll wheel away is very infuriating. This should all be optional. And crop especially should be a twirl down to unveil the 4 crop dimensions, not 4 unmoveable lines.

I would love to see Adobe Premiere Pro's new Color Mode expanded with dedicated film-emulation controls, allowing users to achieve cinematic film looks without relying on multiple third-party plugins or complex effect stacks.Suggested additions:Halation Control Adjustable intensity Highlight threshold Color tint options (red/orange film-style halation) Film Glow / Highlight Bloom Soft highlight diffusion Radius and strength controls Film-inspired optical bloom behavior Film Grain Multiple grain profiles (16mm, Super 16, 35mm, 65mm) Grain size, intensity, and response to exposure Resolution-independent grain rendering Gate Weave & Subtle Film Movement Optional micro-movement simulation Adjustable strength Film Texture Controls Halation Grain Glow Color separation Highlight roll-off Shadow softness The new Color Mode already provides an excellent foundation for modern color grading. Adding integrated film-emulation tools would streamline cinematic workflows, reduce de

Premiere Pro urgently needs a native tool for creating modern social media captions without relying on plugins or MOGRTs.Right now, the workflow is far too cumbersome compared to CapCut. To achieve the caption styles that are now standard on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, users often have to convert captions to graphics, manually animate them, or purchase third-party solutions.In CapCut, these styles can be applied in seconds. In Premiere Pro, the same result requires significantly more time and effort, making the process inefficient for creators who produce short-form content regularly.Features that would make a huge difference include:Word-by-word highlighting. Automatic pop-in and scale animations. Presets for popular Reel and TikTok caption styles. Easy customization of fonts, outlines, shadows, backgrounds, and colors. Automatic emphasis of key words through animation or color changes. The ability to apply these styles directly to generated captions without convertin

We that bought Canon EOS R6 mk3 (many of us) loves shooting in RAW and 7k and Open Gate, etc… But coming to Premiere and not being able to drop it and edit it… Makes me, my team, my freinds and a lot of people question the money we spendon this app while there’re assistants encouraging us to use competitor’s software like DV do transfer it to ProRes and then export it to Premiere… If I need to do that then might as well spend the same amount of money on the other software than this…No hate but please team, work faster… R6 mk3 came out Nov 2025… We are 3months into 2026...

I’m asking, even begging that Adobe buy PluralEyes multicamera synchronization plugin that was discontinued by Maxon in 2023 but is still the only software that gives 90% out of 100% successful result in synchronizing huge multicamera milti-source audio materials (yeah, much better and with fewer glitches than Syncaila). Since Maxon don’t need it anymore, but we, Premiere users, NEED it dreadfully, this piece of software should be integrated into Premiere like Adobe did with “70 plugins and transitions” when they bought Film Impact. Not as a plugin, but as a Multicamera creation mechanism.I won’t lie if I say that the current multicam sync in Premiere is crap. Has always been. It gives good results only in greenhouse conditions, when there are 3 big-long clips and from several cameras and a boom-audio tracks. Just now I tried to sync a 2-hours-and-a-half worth of shooting on one single camera (160 clips) with a perfectly clear sound with a bunch of DJI-mic recorded audios (14) and Prem

When you copy a sequence and then delete clips in it, the old transcription stays with the timeline. Sometimes I copy a timeline because it has a layout and features that I am using consistently throughout a project but am building new edits within it. I realize that creating a template is probably the best way to go, but sometimes I just want to copy another timeline with edits already in it and work from that. I'd like to be able to just completely delete the transcript that comes over with it.  Perhaps offer an option in the ... menu to CLEAR TRANSCRIPTION I am on MacPro (M1) in PP 23.2 on Ventura

Thank you implementing transcripts in Premiere Pro. It's a very useful feature. Currently, you choose your default language before transcript is executed, then PP transcribes the entire clip. What is your clip has multiple languages spoken within the audio? It would be great to PP auto detect different languages, or at the very least be able to select some text and change the default language for that particular text. Right now I am cutting different sections of my clip in different sequences and transcribing them in the approriate language. It creates a transcript that has timecode that is inconsistent. It would be great if it was possible to toggle the language within a clip / transcript to preserve the time code continuity. Thank you.

Since it’s obvious that Premiere will never get a Warp stabilizer that:will not reset if a stabilized clip length is changed work with a time-remapped footage… it needs a simple but powerful upgrade like this:The new Lock button in Warp StabilizerSince every time you stabilize footage Premiere writes data (you can tell it by the size of the project file that becomes bigger with every stabilization alone), this new Lock button would lock this data preventing Warp stabilizer from resetting with every minor change to a clip. In case you want to unlock the effect you hit this button again (it changes from “Lock” to “Unlock” and back). So locking is a fast (instantaneous, unlike Freezing for Roto in AE) and nondestructive process, it just locks the data of the part of the clip where the stabilization was applied so if you just drag the clip out beyond the stabilization part the rest of it will still be not stabilized but the locked stabilization will remain locked no matter what you do to i

The Sony A7Siii has the ability to add Shot Marks whilst recording video. Premiere Pro has no way of reading these shot marks. It would be great to have this metadata be imported with each clip? All the added Shot Marks should be visible in the Time Ruler of the Source window for quick access to these points in a long recording.

In Adobe Premiere Pro when a text box is created, it can be resized with the mouse by dragging the text box handles. But there is no way to specify the exact size of the text box...For example, the anchor point position can be specified by entering values, but it has no sense if the box size may not be specified...What I'm missing? Is there a hidden setting somewhere outside the "Effect Controls" panel?

The fade handle function was added in the 24.4.1 update.However, when controlling an audio clip with the mouse, you end up grabbing the fade handle when you want to grab the edge of the clip.It should be made so that this doesn't happen by mistake, or it should be possible to turn the fade handle on and off.   オーディオクリップを縮めたい時、フェードハンドルの小さな四角形をつかんでしまう24.4.1のアップデートでフェードハンドル機能が搭載されました。しかしながら、オーディオクリップをマウス操作でコントロールする時、クリップの端をつかみたいのにフェードハンドルをつかんでしまいます。誤操作しないように工夫してほしい、もしくは、フェードハンドルのオン／オフの切り替えできるようにしてほしい。  

Case: I have a video with a shaky camera and a moving object in it. In older cases you would have to mask out the object to make Warp stabilizer ignore it and stabilize the rest of the picture. Since Warp stabilizer though an effect had never had a mask option you would have to add the mask and then nest the clip in order to make Warp stabilizer ignore the moving object. Now that we have a new masking mechanism that can added to effects as a separate masking layer with a set of adjustable tools of its own, I don;t a see any reason why a tracked object or normal mask can’t be added to Warp stabilizer to make it ignore an object without nesting
