I LOVE the Alt keyboard modifier that allows us to select just the video or audio portion of a clip in the Timeline. However, if a clip with linked audio is already selected in the Timeline, Alt-clicking it doesn't do anything. Both parts remain selected.Even after years of using Pr, I still find myself unsuccessfully trying to select just the audio or video portion of a clip that's already selected in the Timeline by mistake.To avoid mistakes like these, and to eliminate the extra step of having to deselect a clip first, it would be so nice if users could ALWAYS use the Alt modifier on a clip, whether it is already selected or not.

When reviewing footage in the Source Monitor in Full Screen or Full Frame mode, it would be great to have an optional visual cue to confirm that footage has successfully been sent to the Timeline whenever using the Insert or Overwrite shortcuts. This cue could be an 'A', 'AV' or 'V' icon as a reminder of the current source patching: Audio, Audio+Video, or Video only (see illustration). In Full Screen mode, these semi transparent icons could appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. In Full Frame mode, these icons could appear in the right corner of the button bar. When sending a piece of footage to the Timeline, these icons could flash green before turning gray again. This visual cue would give editors confidence that their selected footage has indeed been successfully sent to the Timeline, thus making it easier for them to sort through footage in Full Screen and Full Frame modes! 

In case you haven't heard yet, the Excalibur plug-in (https://knightsoftheeditingtable.com/) is revolutionizing editing in Pr! While it can do many things, over a dozen of which are in response to FRs users have been requesting for years, one of the things it cannot do is assign keyboard shortcuts to transition presets, due to a limitation in Pr's API. It would be wonderful if the API could be updated to allow this, given that it already allows 3rd party plug-ins such as Excalibur to assign shortcuts to any effect, effect preset or transition.

The Warp Stabilizer tool should have built-in masking tools for users to be able to decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization! (i.e. ability to ignore from analysis certain moving objects that can throw stabilization out of whack.) ***TIP*** You can already decide which part(s) of a clip get analyzed for stabilization! But it takes a few steps:1. Mask out parts of the clip you want Warp Stabilizer to ignore using Opacity effect mask(s).2. Nest masked clip.3. Apply Warp Stabilizer to nest.4. Once the clip is stabilized, open nest.5. Turn off Opacity effect so entire clip can be seen again.6. Exit nest. Voilá! Near After Effects-level stabilization inside of Premiere Pro! If Warp Stabilizer had built-in masking tools, those 6 steps above could be reduced to only 1 step! Plus, this trick would be a lot more discoverable. As a bonus, it could potentially allow WS to analyze masked clips quicker, since it would have fewer moving pixels to analyze! Thi

Imagine if every time you started a new Pr project, the Project window came pre-populated with intelligent Bins that automatically sort and organize media you import or create within Pr… Imagine all of your titles automatically going into a ‘Titles’ Bin and all of your nests appearing in a ‘Nests’ Bin rather than just randomly appearing all over the Project window. Imagine if you could spend more time actually editing and less time on menial tasks such as manually dragging files into relevant Bins to keep your project organized. Thankfully, this already IS possible! One of the great features in Pr’s #1 plugin, Excalibur (https://knightsoftheeditingtable.com/excalibur), is the ability to have nests automatically appear in a ‘Nested Clips’ Bin. This Bin can be renamed and moved and the automatic connection remains. Unfortunately, Excalibur can’t organize all media types due to limitations with what 3rd party plugins can do. This is where Adobe comes in. Please see the illustrat

The fact that this shortcut only works when the Timeline is the active windows makes no sense! Why would a shortcut that is meant to be used in the Program Monitor not work when the Program Monitor is the active window? Please fix this!

When zooming in the Project window, it would be a LOT more convenient if zooming was centred on any SELECTED clip(s) to keep it/them in view! (both in List and Icon view) If there are too many selected clips to fit in the zoomed view, zooming would give preference to the first of the selected clips. Talking about convenience, why doesn't Pr allow users to hold their Alt or Ctrl key while turning a mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in and out of the Icon and List views?

The 'New Layer' menu in the Essential Graphics window is poorly designed because:1. It doesn't allow users to draw a shape (it only allows users to click on 'Rectangle', 'Ellipse' or 'Polygon' to have an unsymmetrical shape appear on screen. This robs users of the benefit of quickly drawing a perfectly symmetrical shape while holding the Shift key)2. It takes 2 clicks to get to any option.I suggest replacing this menu with actual buttons that can be reached in 1 click instead of 2, and which would give users the ability to draw shapes, including symmetrical ones while holding the Shift key. Doing it this way would also respect the workflow that users have grown accustomed to in Pr's Legacy Titler, Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects (all of which allow direct, 1-click access to shapes, with access to the Shift-key modifier). Note: While the Tools panel does allow 1-click access to one shape (whichever one of the 3 is currently displayed), users like myself that have a keyboard-cen

When going through clips that are loaded into the Source Monitor, it would be great to have the ability to label those clips with keyboard shortcuts. It's possible to label a clip in the Timeline or Project window by selecting it and hitting a label's assigned shortcut, but unfortunately this isn't possible for a clip that's loaded in the Source Monitor.Being able to do this would be very useful, since it would allow users to assign labels to their clips as they're being reviewed in the Source Monitor, with zero need to use a mouse. For example, bad takes could easily be assigned a label meant for review and deletion once a project is completed.In addition to allowing label shortcuts to work in the Source Monitor, it would also be helpful for beginners to be able to display a button for each label colour using the window's Button Editor.

After typing a new title in the EGP, it's frustrating to have to press both 'Esc' followed by 'V' before the title can be moved or resized in the Program Monitor.The approach used in the Legacy Titler is much better:When typing a title, hitting 'Esc' automatically exits typing AND reverts back to the Selection tool in a single step.This is a better approach for 3 reasons:1. 1 step is easier/faster/less frustrating than 2 steps.2. MANY titles consist of a single block of text, so while the EGP's approach does make it easier for a user to create additional blocks of texts (2 steps [Esc + click on new text location] vs 3 steps like in the Legacy Titler [Esc + T + click]), users would most often benefit from saving a step to modify their newly created title rather than saving a step to create an additional block of text within the same title.3. It would keep the workflow consistent with the Legacy Titler, which isn't just more logical and useful, but also more familiar to long time Pr user

If the user has any selected clip(s) in the Project window, when switching from List to Icon view, the Bin that's opened should automatically default to the Bin with the selected clip(s), centering the view on the selected clip(s). It's only logical!

Premiere 23.1.copy and paste text from a text style to other text,(one line ,two text style via copy other text and paste)the pasted text style not include multiple styles.(multiple shadows,multiple strokes etc.)

It would be amazing if premiere pro could group video and audio tracks in a minimized fashion to help clean up timelines. Then have an expansion arrow to reveal the grouped section.  For example. Say I have overlapping audio tracks of wind SFX. I could group these tracks into a "Wind" labeled section thats consolodated into one track. Then click an expansion arrow to reveal the tracks associated with Wind SFX. 

When I split a caption/subtitle in PPro, a duplicate of the whole line is made. It'd be great if PPro could take note of where my cursor currently is, and split the caption at that point, so no further editing of the subtitles is necessary.

PPro often gets sentences/full stops/periods wrong - i.e. it'll transcribe something as the end of a sentence, adding a full stop and a capital letter (or vice-versa - neglecting to add a full stop/capital letter when the speaker has reached the end of a sentence). It's a bit tedious to edit both the full stop AND the capital letter on the next caption, and it'd be great if PPro could be set to recognise when I've changed the end of one caption to have a full stop, then auto-capitalise the starting letter of the next caption (and vice versa).

When you change a Sequence setting, the highest available Timebase is 60 fps.  Whether it's a mainstream option (it's starting to look that way for some consumer cameras including smartphones for HFR) or not, it would be nice to be given options for fps in both Premiere and Encoder, whether it's low, high, or something in the middle. Some potential benefits:Want to make a choppy animation-like sequence in the single-digit category?  With this feature, you could!Want to nest a sequence and change the framerate to something higher? With this feature, you could!Want to submit an HFR sequence that exceeds 60 fps for a myriad of testing purposes? With this feature, you could!Want to be like Peter Jackson and edit something in 48 fps? With this feature, you could! Being given this kind of control would allow creatives to control their content!

I noticed that the captions default to straight quotes and apostrophes in the captions."This isn't right."“That’s better.”(Copied from a discussion that didn't* gain many responses).*didn’t

Choosing allignment and transform should be considered a part of the style. There should be an easy way of changing all the allignments at once. I now had to do it manually.

I'm sure I'm not alone in working on edits with a lot of technical jargon/brand-specific words. Two things that would be really nice to have:1. The ability to tell PPro a list of some jargon words. For example, I'm currently working on a job for "Malfy" gin, which PPro (understandably) transcribes as "Amalfi". So we could train PPro to realise that every occurrence of "Amalfi" should probably be "Malfy".2. Failing that, a simple find-and-replace. I know there's a "find" feature, which is handy, but adding a replace feature would be nice (unless I've missed that and it's already there??)

Please listen to community requests/ I am on the verge of leaving Adobe after being quite loyal for many years. These are two requests I have had for the last few years using Premiere consistently. FEATURE REQUEST Lumetri Color, make it more like Camera Raw filter from photoshop/lightroom. Heck if that was a program itself I would use it so much more. Premiere Lumetri Color is so weak. Please have your departments work with each other, it seems like all of Adobe's programs with similar functionality are scripted differently, how absurd! Ex: Photoshop is terribly slow rendering text while illustrator is blazing fast, After effects warp stabilizer stinks while Premiere is actually quite better. This is tested on multiple different operating systems. Linked/Synced Presets/FX/Adjustment LayersHave it so if you have a certain color grade or effect applied on multiple clips and you need to change something, have it so where you change the Effect and it will change all the

No matter what I do or where I type the ' it always shows as a white box after I export. This needs to be fixed

I'd love to set color labels for text blocks (Captions) and filter them (preferably multiple labels allowed at once). It would let me see which blocks are checked/edited/important/obsolete and make life silightly less complicated. Thx. Wait! I just thought about two additional options for that feature: "New sequence from selected blocks..." and "New sequence from labels..." where I could choose any amount of labels (now I think it should work also as custom tags) and create new sequences for each selected label/tag with a single click. That would be very useful for editing many shorts from a long interview.

I need radial blur in premiere pro. Please give me it! I was told i have to make a post here to get it which is absolutely ridiculous considering I pay a bunch per month...

so here's my workflow.  I work on a variety of systems both mac and windows, at my office and on site at clients...  When I start a new project, I always keep the media on a single external hard drive and assign all the scratch disks to a folder named "premiere stuff" on the external hard drive and my project is saved to a folder on my computer that's automatically mirrored to dropbox.    In order to do that I have to manually assign all the various scratch disks to "premiere stuff" on my media drive.  Not a big deal, but would be great to be able to point to  "premiere stuff" for the first scratch disk and assign all the other scratch disks in one step...     I don't expect the adobe team to drop everything they're doing for just me (although it would be nice), but throwing this out there to see if there are many others with this workflow who would appreciate a shortcut.    I've been using this workflow for many years without issu

Hey Adobe, what version are we on, and we still can't copy a description and paste it to multiple clips, but have to do it individually.  This was a feature in Final Cut 7 (and earlier).   Little things like this make the difference and save us editors time (and money).  How about a little help here?
