Feature Requests

When switching from the editing tab to any other tab, all of the open timelines on my sequence window go away and the only one that remains is the one I'm currently viewing.

It would be great to have "smart bins" or "linked bins" or whatever they would be called, that would automatically import files added to a specific folder on your computer. So let's say I have a folder called "SFX" on my hard drive, I could link a Premiere project bin to that folder, so that every time I add a file to that SFX-folder, it would import in to Premiere. This way I wouldn't need to manually import every single new file to Premiere from my hard drive.

I especially hate that I don't have the ability to make my own bin for presets or arrange the bins in the order that I want. Anyone else feel this way? 

Several competitors are using AI to make the eyes appear to be looking directly into the camera, even while reading a script on the desk. I'd like to see this feature added to Premier Pro editing. 

Hi everyone, Would it be possible to add the functionality to conform the framerate of a sequence/timeline in a sequence? Sort of use the "speed" option but not transcode the media at the end like when you use "conform" on a media. Example:* We have a 24fps reference sequence of a movie.* We want to embed this 24fps sequence in a 25fps sequence and "conform" the 24fps timeline to 25fps in timeline 25. Currently, in our workflow we use nested sequences for our different exports.Currently we create 2 sequences: one 24 and one 25 and we duplicate all of them.Sometimes we have a lot of files to go in timeline 24 and therefore repeat this work in timeline 25.This would make our job easier as it would avoid timecode compensation to place the files at the correct timecode. Best

Hi everyone, Would it be possible to have the "P3 (D65)" option in the list of sequence color spaces?And when we deposit a media with the color space "P3 (D65)" that the sequence proposes to adapt its settings to take this color space? Best

Hi everyone, We are increasingly confronted with the use of IMF file in our workflows.Would it be possible to improve the integration of IMF in Adobe Premiere?We did a test and it turns out that we can partially import an IMF : the CPL is decoded and imports the image and audio into a sequence.The audio is readable being WAV files but the image is not readable.Would it be possible to improve the compatibility? Also, would it be possible to export MFIs from Adobe Premiere ? Not just a JPEG2000, but an IMF package. Best,

Hi everyone, Is it possible to implement the functionality of having a shortcut to hide or show a video track?A shortcut to hide/show video track 1, 2, at least up to 5. Best,

Hi everyone, We do a lot of exporting from Adobe Premier/Adobe Media Encoder and often we have to define the audio tracks.Currently in Adobe Premiere Pro we can only export audio tracks or less (timeline has 4 tracks and exports track 1 and 2).But it is not possible to map track 1 to channel 3, track 2 to channel 4, etc. See adding video tracks: the timeline has 4 audio tracks and we want to export 8 audio tracks. This problem is especially true for Apple Pro Res/.MOV exports. Would it be possible to add such a feature? To be able to map the tracks of the original timeline/element to new tracks for export? While being able to have more tracks in output than in input? For example by duplicating track 1 and 2 to track 3 and 4? Best

Hi everyone, We occasionally have editors using Adobe Premiere for their editing and all the time we run into a problem conforming the AAF in Avid ProTools.After some research it seems that when Adobe Premiere exports the AAF it does not put back the metadata from the original file like "take", "tape", etc. (example in files)Would it be possible to add this metadata when exporting?This would make it easier to conform audio AAFs. Thanks in advance

Hi Adobe! I have an idea for organizing when it relates to Labels & Bins. The way I do my workflow is I label a file based on purpose, so, for example, Video is always "Iris" but Music is always "Rose", I do the same for dialogue audio, sound effects audio, pictures, dynamic link, graphics, etc... you get the point right? I also put all of these categories into their own bins and label the bin's colors to their purpose to keep them neat, not only in my timeline but also in my project tab (So for example the music bin would also be labeled "Rose" becuase music files are always "Rose"). My issue is that every time I drag a new file into a defined and prelabeled bin, I then have to manually click and re-label that file to my desired label... Doesn't sound that bad but over time it adds up! And I know there is already the "label defaults" option but that only works when Premiere can recognize the type of file it is... so I always know video is "iris" and always know sequences

Dear Adobe, The mask tools in Premiere feel like they're from another developer and ultimately just encourage me to send everything but a simple edit to AE instead. If it is too hard to make your tools consistent across apps could you at least allow us to copy and paste shapes from Illustrator, Photoshop, AE into Premiere to use as a mask instead. The existing mask shapes and path/point movement also feels like it happens half a second after (or ahead!) of your actual actions and just feels far more clunky rather than precise. Per vertex feathering like AE would be good too (but not if it slows down the mask point moving any more!)

There's no default colour for titles made with the title tool. They get the same colour as Stills, which is something, but they should have their own colour.

An idea would be to have a watchfolder where anything new would be automatically imported to a bin in Premiere would be amazing.Example : I edit of a server with a team. I ask someone to find music for my edits and that person adds music to a folder on the server. If I "targeted" that folder as an "import watchfolder" it would help alot during the editing process.thanksJP

We all know how it feels to search for a song for an edit. I usually loop the section in the Timeline I'm editing and go through my finder and playback songs that are in a folder over the edit so I can hear what it feels like. It would be good to be able to do that within Premiere. To have an option to playback the loop section and go through the bin where the imported music is and try different songs without having to put it in the timeline, listen, delete, find another song, put it in the timeline, listen and delete and so on for the end of time.ThanksJP

Currently, if I would like to scale, say three clips, I have to apply the scaling to each clip separately. One should be able to select multiple clips and modify properties on that selection. After Effects allows this, so why not Premiere Pro?

AudioI'm not sure wich audio tracks are used for transcription and if modify audio is considered.If you have e.g. Clips with 8 audio tracks but only one have the essential audio then I modify the audio to leave only this audio track wich also can be track 3 or 4 in the clip. It would be a time saver when these modification is used for transcription instead of all 8 tracksWhat happened when audio is only available on track 3 or 4, will transcription work?Export scriptWhen I export a script as .csv e.g. it will be helpful if the file name will be prefilled with the clip name. At the moment the name field in the file selector box is empty.Also helpful to export multiple scripts from multiple clips at once. Now you have to export via text-panel clip for clip.

When I transcribe a video, I don't want to have to set which language I want to use and what the other settings should be each time. Premiere Pro should not just reset to English as the default language. Premiere Pro should remember my settings.

I'd like to be able to overlay/display my drones GPS data, altitute, Lat, Long etc on my videos. Can you look into how this could be possible please?

I did alot of multicam editing with the CS versions.  Why did Adobe take away our multicam monitor window that was a SEPERATE window we could dock anywhere we wanted?  I use dual monitors and I HATE that Adobe decided to make my program final output screen half the size as normal because they thought it was a good idea to put the multicam camera windows in there.  Big mistake!  Before I had my program screen on right with FULL size edited video output and I could have my multicam monitor window docked on my main workspace screen on the left.  PLUS...I didn't have to hold down the control button to pick a cam while the video WAS NOT playing.  I do not like playing the video and making cuts at the same time.  Too many cams to look at to pick the right one I want and it ends up taking longer.  Plus I have to go back and do rolling edits to get the right frame I want to cut on.  More wasted time.  And you expect us to make live cuts with sm

Slip and Slide tools are great, I use them, love that they have dedicated keyboard shortcuts and can be set up quickly. That said, the ability to quickly set up Slip Trim Flags would be welcome as well. Reason: Keyboard shortcut economy. The goal: That slipping, sliding, and standard trimming can all leverage the same trim shortcuts. It's already close. Sliding and trimming are already there.Only slipping remains. Solution: Slipping under trim flags. There's only one catch: Setting up trim flags for slipping is clumsy. So the request is this (unless this already exists, and I'm not aware of it):1 - Select your clips2 - Introduce a new keyboard shortcuts that set up trim flags for slipping or sliding (i.e. yellow flags at heads / tails of the selected clips).  This is the feature request.3 - Slip via standard trim kb shortcut (Demo)  Again, love the slip and slide tools and their dedicated keyboard shortcuts.But feature redundancy w

IT would be awesome if there was a free app that would allow people to open Premiere Pro Projects and view any timelines inside of them - WITHOUT having to export the media. I work for a TV network - and we have hundreds of PPro editors. We eat up gobs of network disk space exporting timelines for approval to people who don't have the adobe suite. Approval/revision/approval v2/revision etc etc. Each one being backed up from the network disks... If we could just sent the project file that would be a few kilobytes. The UI could just present a list of the sequences in the project and the managers could open the files since the will have access to the same network media we're editing off of.  Sure, there are times we'd still need to export, but when something is still inside the organization - it would just be a huge huge time and disk space savings. We don't need any editing or anything - treating the file as a read-only. (if you want to build in some sort of fram

Hi!The idea is simple: The "Remove Unused" feature, to also remove any bins that become empty during this process.When you're tidying something up, this would really help to speed up this process, instead of just leaving lots of empty bins around, keeping the project just as clogged as it was before.This could also be a handy addition to the "Consolidate Duplicates" feature.If someone comes and tells me this already exists that would ALSO be great 😎

Premier should add 'export as individual clips' as an option in the export window. It should export individual clips with all the effects and color grading and also give a XML of the timeline to link it in other editing softwares. It would be a huge help for editing in premier pro and grading in davinci resolve workflow. Because some effects do not translate in XML so exporting individual clips with all the effects burned in to it and exporting it in ProRes or DPX directly from premier pro with a single click will be a huge help. 

The Premiere Pro is currently missing one important function - how to reset the clip in the Source Monitor (or Project window respectively) to the state in which it has been imported - that means having the playhead at the beginning of the clip and resetting the Sequence Slider to the default magnification level (that means the whole timeline of the selected clip is visible and if you move the playhead from left to right, it will play the whole clip). If you have a really big project in which you need to seek through the clips multiple times, it would really speed up the process as the only workaround is to do it manually (verified with Adobe Support) by:Resetting the In and Out pointsClicking Shift  + I to return the playhead to the beginning of the clipClicking the timeline slider twice to reset the zoom levelRepeat this on all of the clips in the project (which can sometimes be thousands of clips)This would save a lot of time to the people who have to deal with a huge lists of
