Feature Requests

Hi there.  I know we can lock whole audio and video tracks in a Premiere timeline, which i use a lot.  Suggestion -->  It'd be even better if we had more accurate control over what was locked in a timeline, instead of only being able to lock entire audio or video tracks.  As in, in my timeline, I'd like to be able to click/lasso select single video/audio clips or multiple video/audio clips, anywhere throughout the timeline, and then, JUST LOCK THOSE SPECIFIC SELECTED CLIPS, similar to how I can "enable" or "disable" single clips in Premiere.  That way, for safety, I can lock certain portions of my timeline, and keep working on other parts of it, and know with confidence that no matter what I do, the parts of the timeline I locked are safe.  Often times, when working on small portion of the timeline, I can accidentally hit a key that causes unintentional and undesirable changes elsewhere in my timeline, that only later do I discover, and then have to go

In other editors, this feature is already native and makes editing much easier, as you can cut the video and it automatically moves to another take without having to drag the take. A native and automatic magnetic timeline feature would be a very welcome feature in Premiere.

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。  

Hi, I am trying to create caption in Bahasa Indonesia for a Video. But Premiere Pro auto caption allows only few languages such as English, Mandarin, Spanish, German, French and Japanese, etc.It will be helpful if Bahasa Indonesia is available for this feature because my video editing project is in Bahasa Indonesia.

If Premiere Pro is to keep up with market leading NLE's, it desperately needs the ability to work with vector files.  Currently, all vectors get rasterised on import, without any user options about how this is done.  I'm constantly working with icons, logo's, graphics of all sorts in Premiere Pro and the lack of support for vector files has always been painful.  Bear in mind that most icons are created at small sizes such as 32x32 or 64x64, which means that almost all vector icon imports in Premiere Pro are blurry, pixelated and unusable. Further to that, to even get an SVG into Premiere Pro, I have to open it in another program first, export it as a support file type or add to CC libraries, before we can even get it into Premiere Pro.  Also, bear in mind that at the start of a project, the editor may not know what size the icons will be scaled to by the time we get to version 10 of a timeline.  Asking us to manually rasterise it at the correct resolu

With all these AI features added, why is there still no quick way to select a bunch of scattered clips in many sequence tracks (that are in correct timed position) to merge them all into a single track or desired track. Ideal use would be when you have a 2hr event with a lot of recorded files that aren’t recorded start to finish of event but the create multi cam feature scatters those files all into 20-30 different tracks and is such a cumbersome mess to drag them all manually onto single correct camera number track.I've been using the 'alt' key (or option key on Mac) and then pressing the down or up arrow key on keyboard to move the selected clip up or down to the next layer for each press of the arrow key.  There needs to be a away to select all the clips from that camera and auto merge onto desired track! 

I don't think this needs a description, it doesn't make sense to move everything forward or backward without moving the markers.

Please bring back the lock feature in workspaceI know we can reset to saved layout but it’s better to prevent accidental panel movements in the first place.I often move the workspace by accident which is quite annoying, and I remember having a lock feature long time ago so it must be too much trouble to bring it back. I don’t know why they removed it in the first place. 

I am surprised that Adobe has some languages included in Speech to Text (Transcribe) feature but not a major language which is used and spoken by over 350 million people which is Arabic? With so many Arabic production features now that are aired and uploaded to many online streaming services, it is CRITICAL that Adobe pays respect to it's users who work in Arabic content/film/TV series.  Now that this request is as important as any new update, it is getting huge attention in the media and NLE users everywhere. So I hope that in the next update 23.1 Premiere Pro will have Arabic included in Speech to Text.   Mod note: Edited for content

Hi there,I think it would be great if there will be also Czech and Slovak language transcription in Adobe Premiere Pro. It would help many editors.Do you see chance to add it?Thanks)

Creating range-based markers is overly complicated. Why not have an option to create markers from In/Out points. As it is now, to do this, one has to set the in and out point to calculate the duration, then copy the duration, then go back to the in point, add a marker, then edit the marker and paste the duration. This new command could be available in the keyboard shortcuts so that the user can define their own command, much like set marker colors.

When changing markers’ colors in the markers panel to a color not currently visible due to filters, I’d love an option to NOT add that new color to those visible. I color code my sequence markers during my notes process, and change them to white when they have been addressed. So I like to filter by the current category of markers that I am addressing, and want to be able to change them to white and have them disappear from view rather than bringing into view the dozens of comments that have already been addressed. It would also be nice to be able to click and drag on the color checkboxes at the top to quickly select multiple colors. Or even a mute switch, so I can select which markers to hide rather than which to show. It would also be nice to be able to have keyboard shortcuts that select and deselect the color checkboxes for filtering.

The whip transition has no direction. Adobe 24.2.1Mac OS 14.3.1 (23D60) All other transitions can are modifiable by direction 

I want to put in a request as I just saw that the linear wipe effect has now been labeled “legacy” which i’m assuming means that it will no longer be updated and will eventually be removed. I often use this effect as a way to crop a slightly out-of-level video clip to a precise percentage in order to create completely vertical and horizontal elements in my videos. I understand that there is the native crop option, but there is no way to change the angle of each side of the crop so this does not work. I also understand that I could use an opacity mask but this method seems cumbersome. Not sure if anyone else uses the linear wipe effect this way, but it has been a huge help to me.

Right now when you use the time remapping feature in Premiere Pro, it does not influence the audio linked to the video, so if you want to make a gradual speed ramping, your audio looses synchronization after the point where the speedramp starts. I suggest adding speed ramping for the audio as well - an automatic one that changes the audio pitch to the same extent as the speed of the video, and a separate one - to manipulate the speed of an audio that is unlinked from the video or has no video at all. I'm not talking about changing the pitch but rather changing the speed with the time remap handles like it's done with the video, so the duration of the audio track is changed as well when applying this time remapping for the audio.I know, I can cut the part I want to change the speed of and use "Maintain pitch" checkbox but this is not time remapping, but rather changing the speed abruptly. Suppose I have a video of a basketball match and I want to speed-ramp the goal moment retaining the

The speedramp feature in premiere feels very outdated with the new wave of editing tools and is in dire need of an update or new effect in the effect panel. Even if they just imported TimeWarp from After Effects or made something similar to capcut with motion blur included for ease of use, I think this would be a mega update for premiere!

I love that the “Copy Paste Includes Sequence Markers” can be given a keyboard shortcut, but as it is a toggle, there’s no way to know its current state without clicking on the Markers menu. If there was a UI button (similar to the proxies button) that could be added to the program monitor panel, then it would be much easier to see whether it was active or not. Any other persistent visual indicator would suffice as well.

In the Markers panel, the current marker is highlighted in a slightly lighter gray than the rest (in dark mode, at least). I find it difficult to spot which one is highlighted. It would be great to have the option of it to have a bright blue line around the marker, similar to the one indicating which panel is active.

I think it’s time to update this outdated feature in Premiere Pro.How many of you use this opacity line on each clip for anything else but fading clips out or in?And how many of you accidentally move this line in the heat of video editing especially when there are lots of small clips in your timeline?I suppose the number of the latter ones is ten times as big.So I want to suggest that this opacity line in clips be removed by default and be accessible like the time-remapping and other curves - via the right-click menu “Show clip keyframes” only. And at the same time every clip should have a fader badge like audio clips do:So when anyone needs to fade a clip in or our - I suppose it’s a 99% scenario of using the opacity line - they can just drag the faders to get this effect. 

I have to use this constantly because each project, the arrangement of option on the panel such as Properties, Effect Controls, and the open project will NOT stay in place, locked in position.Every time I open a project and go to a workspace, they’re not where I left them the last time I worked on that project. I have to put everything back where I had it and “Save changes to this workspace”.

In the current version of Premiere Pro (and it’s been always like that) if for some reason you delete audio from a clip on your timeline, double-clicking it reveals the clip in the source monitor without any audio either:This is kinda strange, because you see the exact source clip with the in and out points set.What I suggest is to make double-clicking act like Match frame - when you double-click a clip on your timeline it opens in the source monitor in its initial state with the sound track included. It’s just a quality-of-life feature which will reduce the amount of clicks.

If I need to apply a modification to all the istances of the same source clip on a timeline, currently I do the following:1.Apply the modification I require to one istance2. Copy the attributes of that istance3.label that clip, than CTRL+F, select that label, FIND ALL4. Paste the attributes to all clips selectedI’d be nice if the selection of all istances of the same source clip could be easier, such as via a right-click menu item?

I have an issue where my caption “clips” don’t align with the video clips in my sequence. I have to go through and manually adjust each one.» Video of issue: 👉 https://somup.com/cOn1XIWQDmI would be useful to have an option to match up when creating.  

Auto-transcribe and the creation of captions from these transcriptions are great features - but, I find myself spending a lot of time tidying up the way captions get split up, and then tweaking how they have been cut against the timeline. Point 1: I often need to combine many captions after they've been generated from a transcript. Premiere will often split a sentence up into 3 or more separate captions, and I have to manually 'combine' them afterwards, despite setting the max 72 characters, and 6 second duration (single line) in the caption window. Perhaps we could have the option to have a higher character count in this panel to begin with? Point 2: I spend a lot of time adjusting the captions to fit in with existing cuts in the timeline. Oftentimes, the auto-generated captions will cut from one to the next, anywhere from 1-10 frames either side of an existing cut in the video clips in my sequence - This is jarring for the viewer, as the scene changes and then 5-10 frames l
