Premiere Pro’s snapping behavior is currently all-or-nothing. While snapping is useful, there is no way to control what elements snapping applies to in a flexible or context-specific way.For example, when editing music and using beat markers, it would be useful to snap clips only to other music or beat markers, while ignoring everything else (clips, markers, etc.) without having to constantly toggle snapping settings.Additional use cases:Ignore disabled clips when snapping Snap only to major beats, not every marker Ignore clips based on label color Ignore specific tracksRequested improvement:Ability to define snapping rules (what snapping should and should not apply to) Ability to save these as presets Ability to toggle presets via keyboard shortcuts or automation toolsThis would allow users to tailor snapping behavior to specific tasks (e.g., music editing vs dialogue editing), reducing friction and improving precision.Thanks a bunch!Tom 

 I’ve started working with separate subtitle tracks for my speakers, but unless I’ve “Toggled active caption tracks” using the eye button on the track, this message above shows in the Captions pane.I feel like this shouldn’t be a problem for the program to handle. Just show me all the captions in the active tracks. Add a column to indicate which track each caption is in. Is there really something configured on the back end that makes combining workflow and editing of captions impossible?(and doesn’t take up much more screen space, such as a whole pane per track).What is the unbridgeable disconnect between the user experience and the data architecture that I’m not seeing here? 🤔

Premiere Pro currently requires track targeting (V1, A1, etc.) to be toggled individually. In timelines with many tracks, this can be slow, error-prone, and makes it difficult to return to a known state.This impacts editing accuracy and can disrupt workflows that rely on predictable targeting, especially when using Stream Deck or macros.Requested improvements:Commands to enable/disable all track targets (video, audio, or both) Keyboard shortcut support for these actions Reliable triggering for automation tools Optional modifier-click (e.g., Option-click) to toggle all tracks in a categoryProviding global track targeting controls would make it easier to quickly reset and standardize editing state, improving speed and consistency in complex timelines.Thanks for considering this request.

Premiere Pro identifies displays using unstable macOS system IDs, which causes monitor order and naming to change after sleep, restart, or display power cycles.This makes it difficult to reliably identify displays, often results in program output being sent to the wrong monitor, and forces users to repeatedly reconfigure settings. It also breaks workflows that depend on predictable behavior, such as Stream Deck or macro-based setups.Requested improvements:Consistent display ordering (for example, by resolution) Clear labels that include resolution and, if available, manufacturer/model (e.g., 3840x2160 – Dell U2720Q) An “Identify Displays” button to visually confirm monitor assignments The ability to assign a display for output and have Premiere retain that assignment across sessionsReliable display identification and persistence would remove repeated setup and make multi-monitor workflows stable and predictable. Thank you!Tom

When I turn a transcript into captions, I also want to split each speaker into their own Subtitle track and do other mass formats and edits based off this. Whether at the start, when turning the entire transcript into captions, or later on if I forget or the need arises, I would like a way to be able to select all the captions based on filters in the Transcript pane.Surely it’s possible for the program toa) add this track-per-speaker option when converting transcript to captions, andb) retain a link between captions and their entry that they were created from in the transcript and be able to use the Transcript pane to select the captions that were created from them?

It would be nice to be able to find in timeline not just forward (after the playhead), but also backwards.It would be as easy as adding a drop-down menu in the find in timeline box.Sometimes you want to search for a clip that came before your current position, not just after.Thank you!

If I have several sequences in a project, and I use the ‘show duplicate frame markers’ option, Premiere only shows if I’ve used the same frames more than once in that specific sequence. If I’ve used a portion of a shot in one sequence, then create a new sequence and add that exact same portion of a shot, Premiere does not tell me that I’ve already used those exact frames elsewhere in the project. I suggest that it should - or we should at least have the option to switch ‘show duplicate frame markers’ to be either project-wide or sequence-specific.I know I can check in the Project panel’s ‘video usage’ column, but this only shows if some part of that shot has been used, not if I’m potentially duplicating a specific part.I’m now going to have to hunt, manually, for some unused bits of many shots to use as B-roll, with much tedious cross-checking through various sequences.Please upvote this, to save many editors many hours! 😁

Context: Building dynamic, web-based motion graphics (HTML5/React) inside Premiere Pro using CEP is incredibly powerful for live-sports and broadcast editors. However, there is a massive missing link when it comes to motion. The Feature Request: A native wrapper function inside the CEP Extension that allows us to command Premiere to "record" or "bake" our panel's DOM (or a hidden webview) into a video file with an alpha channel. The Problem: Currently, if I have a 3-second CSS animation (like a team logo bouncing with a glow), there is no native way to bake this HTML animation into a transparent video clip on the Premiere timeline. The Solution: We need an API method to capture a web animation at 60 FPS for X seconds, and losslessly import that result directly onto the active sequence as a transparent video clip (e.g., ProRes 4444). This addition alone would make Premiere Pro the single most powerful NLE in the world for web-to-video workflow integration.

Context: I develop complex, data-driven custom CEP extensions for Premiere Pro. While the HTML/JS side of CEP is great, communicating with the host application is a major bottleneck. The Feature Request: Please bring Premiere Pro's scripting DOM into the modern JavaScript era. Automating the Premiere Pro timeline using ExtendScript (.jsx) feels like traveling back to 1999. The Problem: Writing ECMAScript 3 without modern arrays, map functions, or native Promises makes writing complex sequence automation very painful and error-prone. The current CSInterface.evalScript() flow is deeply outdated. The Solution: We need full ES6+ support and a Promise-based API for interactions with the host app. Ideally, we need Premiere Pro to transition to the modern UXP architecture that Photoshop currently enjoys, while retaining full access to automate the Premiere Video Tracks and sequence timeline.

Context: As a sports video editor and plugin developer, I’ve built a massive HTML5/React-based CEP extension for Premiere Pro to generate dynamic overlays (scoreboards, rosters). Currently, to get these overlays onto the timeline, I have to rely on complex workarounds like running a separate Node.js server with a headless Puppeteer browser just to capture my React components with transparency. The Feature Request: We urgently need a native method within the CEP API to silently capture a specific DOM element inside our panel and save it directly to disk as a PNG with transparency. How it should work: Something like: cep.fs.captureNodeListToImage(domNode, exportPath, { format: 'png', alpha: true }) Why it matters: This would instantly eliminate the need for heavy, external rendering pipelines for static web-based overlays. It would make Premiere Pro vastly more powerful and accessible for broadcast-style web integration natively.

Hello Adobe Dev Team! Would you please simplify the process of Removing the "Background" of any clip in Premiere Pro? I mean to make the Background of the clip TRANSPARENT. To achieve this important goal, a NEW One-click AI-Powered Effect should be introduced. For example, would you please install a trial version of the well-known "TechSmith Camtasia" video editor, and see how easy to remove a video background from within this App? All you need is to go to the "Visual Effects" tab in the left pane then select "Background Removal" effect and then drag-and-drop it on top of the desired clip in the Timeline, and that's it! the AI will do the whole job automaticlly & effectively! Thank you in Advance

Currently, the VideoTrack and AudioTrack classes expose a read-only name property but provide no way to rename tracks programmatically. In ExtendScript/CEP, track renaming was straightforward via direct property assignment (app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[i].name = "newName"), but this capability has no UXP equivalent.Requested API:Add a createSetNameAction(inName: string): Action method to both VideoTrack and AudioTrack, consistent with the existing Action pattern used by AudioClipTrackItem.createSetNameAction, VideoClipTrackItem.createSetNameAction, and ClipProjectItem.createSetNameAction.Thanks!

I have a documentary with a voice over artist that edits his takes as individual wav clips. So I have a folder with over 100 VO clips. I can transcribe these to do Text based Editing. But I can't find a way to change ALL the hundreds of clips of the same voice Speaker Name to the narrator. It seems this would be metadata? I can't find Speaker in any of the metadata lists unfortunately. So I guess its saved outside the actual clip within the transcipt.  I'd like to be able to change the speaker of all clips I select as a batch function. In some cases this would cause problems when there are multiple speakers, so it would have limited use to clips that are all the same person. But still a very usuful feature.  

The Film Impact acquisition brings great video transitions to PPro. But working with them is clunky, as there is no way to remove multiple transitions at once.   Over the past 15+ years editors have used various workarounds which all have downsides.   Workarounds: 1. Change Speed/Duration of all your clips from 100% to a higher percentage (ex. 200%). Transitions are deleted. Problem: Ruins your sequence if you uniquely edited Speed/Duration for each clip 2. Simplify Sequence > Remove Transitions Problem: Creates a duplicate sequence instead of editing your current sequence 3. Select all the clips holding the Ctrl key so all edit points will be selected Press Ctrl+Shift+T to toggle trim type three times so that all out points will be marked in red Press Ctrl+left Arrow to Trim Backwards  once Press Ctrl+Right Arrow to Trim Forward once Problem: Unintuitive.   Solution: I propose 3 simple solutions. Do one, or do them all.   1. Allow Simplify Sequence to a

I work with large volumes of 360 degree footage, and I often receive the footage in one large folder. The camera automatically creates proxies for each clip, so the proxies are already there, but they all have different file names than the full-resolution clip. Because the names are all different and each clip starts at 00:00:00, the automated search does not work when trying to find proxies. This means I have to go through and attach every single proxy individually, which can take hours. If I could search for the proxies by media duration, not just media start, this would shorten the process exponentially. If there’s already a solution for this, please let me know. Thank you!

would like to propose a powerful feature enhancement for Adobe Premiere Pro that can significantly improve workflow efficiency for modern content creators and agencies.Feature Name: Auto Multi Video GeneratorOverview:A tool that automatically converts one long form video into multiple short form videos optimized for platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.Problem:Currently, editors manually create multiple short videos from a single source. This process is time consuming, repetitive, and limits content scalability especially for creators and agencies producing high volume content daily.Proposed Solution:Introduce an AI powered system that:Detects key moments, highlights, and engaging segments Automatically splits long videos into multiple short clips Generates multiple variations with different hooks and cuts Applies dynamic zooms and framing for vertical formats Adds captions and basic styling automaticallyKey Features:Smart scene and highlight detection Automatic s

Premiere nudge audio 1dB or -1 dB does not work when effects are in the audio effects control panel. I can only use increase or decrease audio levels of an audio keyframe by plus or minus 3 dB which is too much. Make it possible to nudge audio keyframes by plus or minus 1 dB.

Creating New Sequence from Clip would be nice to have option to keep t/c from source, in addition to create new as it currently is… 

I often have to produce clean versions of videos I edit, which currently involves scrolling along the entire timeline and selecting/deleting each clip transition manually. It takes time and is easy to miss a few. It would be awesome if there was a function someplace in the clip menu or timeline context menu to remove all transitions from clips I've selected in one shot.

The visible keyframe slider for every video is Opacity by default. It is a nightmare trying to right click each clip, if you need to display a different keyframe for it (E.g. Time for speed ramps).An option is necessary for setting the default displayed keyframes for the entire sequence. The ability to also bulk change thedisplayed keyframes for multiple clips would also be good.

Freeform view allows you 2 lines of metadata, but has no ability to sortThumbnail view is antiquated, needs more info!  Allow metadata display similar to bridge  eg label by preferably colouring the frame with the label colour (like lightroom), and giving us the ability to add eg video info below the thumbnail (with a quick toggle button or shortcut like lightroom where you can quickly get back to a clean view)and then have the ability to sort or filter by the items displayed.    

Is there a way to show colored labels on Icon View? I'm seeing the labels on Thumbnail View and Freeform View but not in Icon View. It's easier to see label groups even in Icon View for faster search. If there is no such thing, I think this would be helpful for others too.

Problem: Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro often introduces black borders/edges due to frame shifting and warping, especially on dynamic handheld footage (e.g., golf swings, walk-and-talk conversations, cart shots in sports docuseries). Current options like "Stabilize, Synthesize Edges" use basic frame blending/extrapolation and frequently fail on complex motion/content, forcing workarounds: manual nesting + scaling/cropping, Auto Reframe, or roundtrips to DaVinci Resolve for better stabilization/edge handling.Requested Feature: Integrate a true generative AI option (powered by Adobe Firefly, similar to Generative Extend for clip extensions) directly in Warp Stabilizer's Borders section—or as a follow-up AI effect. This would analyze surrounding frames/content and intelligently generate plausible fill for black edges, preserving full frame composition without cropping, softening, or losing resolution. Options could include: - Strength/quality sliders (e.g., low/med/high generation fideli

Please release Project Sound Lift for Speaker Diarization. I would Greatly Appreciate it! It would allow me to edit videos 100X’s fast no exaggeration!!
