Feature Requests

I can’t stand the inconsistent behavior of keyboard shortcuts in Premiere--so many random things steal focus from the timeline panel.  For example, I drag an effect onto a clip ON the timeline, the clip still has focus, but for no good reason the *program panel* is now the active panel, meaning the so-called “dedicated“ keystrokes like zoom in and out on my keyboard and my tourbox no longer zoom in or out the timeline.  So I have to hit another key F1 or click my mouse into the timeline just to get the function back. I can’t even build macros to accomplish what I want for these--if the timeline has focus, then hitting F1 will cycle to another open sequence--again, doing what I don't’ want it to do. This is just one of so many examples of stolen focus ruining my worklow and keyboard shortcuts. It literally feels like Premiere anticipates my every desire and then does exactly what I don’t want at every turn. 

Automatically, set the default dictionary to the language chosen for transcribing. Currently, “English (Caribbean)” is the default regardless of the language you choose for transcribing. So, if I choose UK English to transcribe a clip, the dictionary should change to the same automatically.

Bring the brand new Quick Apply feature you just added to After Effects over to Premiere.  This would help speed up searching for and applying Effects to clips.  FX Console is an amazing predecessor that I wish would have been for both AE and PP but now is the right opportunity to give us the same feature in both Apps.  

As a social media video editor, I sometimes edit many short videos per day.Having the scroll wheel adjust the size and location of the program monitor has become an enormous hassle. Problem:Whether using a Magic Mouse or a regular mouse with a scroll wheel, I sometimes accidentally scroll when moving the cursor across the program monitor, even to get to another section in Premiere Pro. I accidentally subtly scaled the video preview in the program monitor without noticing. This caused me to re-render the video because elements were not placed in the correct locations. It's just as frustrating when I do notice when I do it. I'm constantly resetting the zoom level dropdown to "Fit." Please revert this change. It's become a massive headache.

Hello all, wouldn't it be great to have a batch rename tool in premiere pro (and after effets) ? It should not be to hard to code and implement and would be of great use for a tons of people. Please upvote if you read this and think it might be useful !  Best, Axelito Mustardito  

I would like to see a proper LUT import button in premiere. I’m tired of finding the folder path to drop in my LUTS. It feels like 2005 when I have to find a long folder path to do something. Can we just have a button in premiere where I can import them quicker? Seems like a doable feature. If settings sync returns, can we sync LUTs in the cloud?  

Improve warp stabilizer to at least be on par with davinci resolve, it’s so much better in resolve 

It is my understanding that we used to be able to sync our preferences in premiere pro to the cloud. I’m not sure why this feature was removed. I reformat my work computers once a year and re-setting all the preferences in premiere is annoying. I keep a file around for keyboard shortcuts, but as far as I can tell there's no settings file for preferences. Even free apps have the ability to sync preferences - its an industry standard now and a basic necessity. Wouldn't you agree? Lets modernize how this works so we don't have to keep settings files around like its 2005How much cloud space would it take per person to sync our preferences? 5 KB? Is it alright if we take up 5KB to sync some settings? 

When you track motion inside Premiere Pro, keyframes are created, and although the tracking properties are all the same across the software -position, rotation and scale - they cannot be copied and applied anywhere else.I think it's time to make Premiere Pro be able to use that tracking data for sticking objects to the moving  ones on your footage now that every other video editing software has this feature. Right now the only way to do that in Premiere Pro is a third-party plugin called "Auto motion tracking for objects" which costs 25 bucks and I cannot understand why I have to pay for another software to have this feature while I pay for Adobe license MONTHLY and do not have this feature by default. Besides the above mentioned third-party plugin uses - guess what - a command parser that intercepts the position-scale-rotation data in Premiere Pro and applies it to Premiere Pro's own transform effect .So it basically uses Premiere Pro to make Premiere Pro use Premiere Pro's

Hi, I’d like to request a feature of adding instruments of visual indication to two sections of Premiere Pro.The Freefrom view. You can toss the previews around, form piles from them, you can even change their labels (though a small colored square in the title is not so good as, for instance, a colored stroke, like this:… but you cannot visually mark the previews and their piles by any other means. I suggest a user should be able to draw lines and place predefined forms in that window, like in Canva or other services that offer a storyboard functionality:Plus the final result should be able to be saved and exported separately from the project, as a png\jpg file. The same drawing functionality should be added to the markers on the timeline. When you place a marker you can only entitle it and change its color. What if a user could draw and place text with it too? Here’s how it’s done in Davinci Resolve and it’s a masterpiece of a feature:This way you can mark the parts of the video you n

This is an embarrassing omission that has persisted for far too long. Every major image and video editing application on the planet - including Photoshop, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and virtually every other tool in existence - provides a simple chain-link icon to constrain proportions when resizing a canvas or frame. Premiere Pro does not. Not in Sequence Settings.The result is that any editor who needs to change their sequence dimensions while maintaining aspect ratio must stop their workflow, open a calculator, do manual arithmetic, and then type two separate values. In 2026. While paying a monthly subscription for software that Adobe markets as professional.This is not a complex feature request. It is a checkbox. A chain icon. A single constraint toggle that ties the width and height fields together so that changing one automatically updates the other. The math is trivial. The UI pattern is decades old and universally understood. Heck, you even have it when expo

Currently, Premiere Pro adds audio tracks to a sequence whenever a file with more audio tracks than the sequence contains is opened in the Source Monitor. So, say I have a sequence with four audio tracks. If I open a clip in the Source Monitor that has 8, four more tracks are automatically added to the Sequence. This is behavior is fine for the auto-generation of NEW sequences, but frustrating in that it modifies an existing sequence with no user input whatsoever. The functionality for adding tracks, as well as source patching and track targeting, works fine, and this behavior is more of a bug than a feature.

Hello. I'd like to see a master key to assign effects OR a way to map effects and presets to the keyboard using the Keyboard Shortcut tool. I've submitted this request before having come from Final Cut Pro and it was a huuuuuge time saver for me in the editing process as I used this feature on FCP multiple multiple times on every single edit I did, every day, and I can't imagine others would not have the same reason for using it as me and I likely very frustrated at how long it takes to apply the Warp Stabiliser effect, for example, to a clip or a series of clips. This is a very consistent task that I do in every edit and many many times in each edit usually. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is constantly adding warp stabiliser to shots by dragging the thing onto every clip and then setting the smoothness percentage. I can't even manage to just select every clip I want to throw the stabiliser on to and then copy paste a version of the effect that I've set the smoothness percentage

being able to transcribe a clip in greek will save us from hours of editing the silences out

when Greek language will be supported in "speech to text" for captions in Premiere Pro?thank youManos

So I use premiere desktop and mobile all the time and have some good feedback for the mobile app which I love. I’m wondering where best to give this feedback besides here. We could really use volume keyframes for audio. I love that keyframes were added recently but we should be able to keyframe audio volume too. I have about 20 other ideas to enhance the app too. It’s a fantastic app and I use it daily. Some features and updates would really enhance the user experience.  if this is the best place for that feedback let me know and I can upload a little list I have made for features and improvements I think would make this app unstoppable, un-karate-choppable!  thanks 

I only ever use Remove Attributes to remove one specific effect I've applied to a bunch of clips. I hate that I have to untick everything except fot the one effect each time I use this. But I imagine there are some people that want to remove everything each time.So there should be a toggle or checkbox that selects or deselects everything. And it should remember the last set up you had like Lightroom does when copying effects over.For eg, if last time I used Remove Attributes, I had only the Motion and Opacity checkboxes selected, then next time I open up that box, those two should be the only ones selected.Then if in the future I need to remove everything for eg, at least there'll be a button to quickly select all the attributes. 

I propose to implement an AI Slow Motion feature that allows users to create high-quality slow-motion videos directly within the timeline, eliminating the need for third-party tools like TOPAZ Video AI. This integration would utilize advanced frame interpolation algorithms to generate smooth, professional-grade slow-motion effects seamlessly.Justification:Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Users can produce slow-motion content without exporting to external applications, saving significant time and effort.Competitive Edge: This feature is already available in industry-leading tools like Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and its inclusion ensures competitiveness in the market.Improved User Experience: Offering a one-stop solution for video editing will increase user satisfaction and retention, reducing reliance on third-party software.

This is a feature request, not a request for workarounds! 1. PROBLEMWhen multiple video clips are selected, we can use the Properties panel to transform multiple clips at once - a huge timesaver when creating 1x1, 4x5, 9x16 from 16x9 material. See attached below. But when multiple text clips are selected, the transform options are hidden (as of Premiere 26). See attached screenshots below. 2. REQUESTWhen multiple text clips are selected, don’t hide transform controls and instead, allow us to move multiple text clips by the numbers, simultaneously. Cheers, Ben Transform controls display when one text clip is selected.Transform controls hidden when multiple text clips selected.Transform controls remain active and editable with multiple Video layers selected, allowing us to move multiple video layers simultaneously. 

We need a solid mask and object tracking tool directly within the Effect Controls panel. The game-changer would be the ability to link the tracking data to another object or layer, similar to how Null Objects work in After Effects. Having to use Dynamic Link for simple position or scale tracking is an unnecessary bottleneck in the daily editing grind.

The current velocity graph editor in Premiere is far too clunky and makes it unnecessarily difficult to get the exact curve you're looking for. It’s a constant struggle with the UI just to get a smooth ramp. We need a complete overhaul to make keyframe manipulation fluid and intuitive—similar to what the Smoothify plugin achieves.On top of a better UI, adding a native Curve Presets feature (like Ease In/Out, Elastic, or Custom Bezier presets) would be a massive productivity boost, allowing us to apply consistent motion without manually tweaking handles every single time. We need to spend more time editing and less time fighting the graph.

The ability to see a waveform and the video at the same time.

I find it pretty awkward how the video and audio tracks are in their own separate panels with two different scrollbars working independantly. Is it possible to have all the video + audio in just one panel? I know it would mean more scrolling up / down overall, but I'd find it a lot easier than having two scrollbars

An excellent feature that I believe many can take advantage of would be the ability to take markers in the marker pane and convert them into subclips with CTRL/CMD + U (indivudally or with multiple selected.) Subclips would be created either from marker to marker automatically or (if the marker had a duration defined) the subclip would be the length of the marker range. Subclips would automatically receive the name of the marker.

Now that Premiere Pro is distributed exclusively through Creative Cloud and Adobe no longer provides physical boxed software, I’d like to request that Adobe make individual point-release installers (for example, version 23.6) available to subscribers.Access to specific builds can be important for maintaining compatibility with existing projects, plugins, and established production workflows. When only the newest version—or a limited set of major versions—is available, it can make it difficult to reopen older projects in the same environment in which they were created.Since Creative Cloud is now the sole distribution method, it would be very helpful if subscribers could download and install specific point releases within a major version when needed.I’d appreciate Adobe considering this feature, and I’m curious if other editors have run into similar situations.
