Feature Requests

Hi, I’ve been using Premiere Pro (Beta) for professional editing, and overall the performance and new updates are appreciated. However, as an editor who primarily works on Final Cut Pro X, I’m facing a major workflow limitation in Premiere related to the skimmer functionality.The absence of an Aero Skimmer–like feature slows down navigation on the timeline and disrupts the natural editing flow. In FCPX, the Aero Skimmer allows instant preview and fast scrubbing without extra clicks, which significantly improves speed and efficiency.I strongly request the Premiere Pro team to consider adding an Aero Skimmer–style skimming feature in future updates. This would greatly enhance timeline navigation and overall editing experience, especially for editors handling fast-paced or cinematic projects.Looking forward to seeing more workflow-focused improvements in upcoming releases.

After viewing the section of "Getting started by importing and previewing..." the text says  "click Next when you're ready to begin.." but "Next" is not active (clickable). 

Simple but essential request here. A bin metadata column that actually shows the color space of a clip or sequence. If the clip is improperly read as Rec 709 when its HLG for example then that can be fixed in Modify Clip>Overide color space>select proper color space. This change will be reflected in the color space metadata column. I'm working with clips of several different color spaces .709, Apple Prores Log, HLG, etc and it would be great to see that in a bin especially if I shot multiple color spaces with the same camera on same day. TY!

I would like to see the wireframe the entire time when the effect is selected, not just when adjusting the controls. And be able to move the effect (the center) within the Program Monitor. e.g. Film Impact vignette, Focus Blur etc.

As a professional editor using the Premiere Pro Beta, I strongly urge the development team to implement a native 'Timeline Skimming' feature, similar to Final Cut Pro.Currently, having to manually click and drag the playhead significantly slows down the rough-cut process. We need an option where the playhead (and program monitor) instantly follows the mouse cursor position across the timeline without requiring a mouse click.This is a major productivity gap between Premiere and its competitors. Please prioritize this in the upcoming Beta builds to improve workflow efficiency for long-form editors. We need this fixed as soon as possible! 

It would be a game changer if the color picker allowed you to save custom color presets, so you could quickly select brand-consistent colors without having to re-enter HEX codes every time.

SituationAt the moment when you search for a label color (e.g. for selecting all clips with a certain color) you have to write the name of the label color which is a bit cumbersome. Feature RequestIt would be far more easy to have a dropdown with all the labels when searching for label, instead of having a textbox where you have to type out the label's name.

As someone who needs to make bilingual videos, it would be great if they spell check language locked to the language of the transcript. Too often, I find myself switching back and forth between languages as I move from one video to another. In other words, when I switch from a French video to an English one, I need to change the spell checker language, even though the video was already transcribed in English. After I change the language to English, I will need to change it back to French when I return to the French video project. 

Dear Adobe Premiere Pro Team,I am writing to strongly request the addition of Thai language support for the Speech-to-Text (Transcription) and Text-Based Editing features in Premiere Pro. As a professional video editor and content creator based in Thailand, the lack of Thai language support significantly hinders my workflow. Currently, many creators in my region are forced to rely on third-party tools or competitor software that offer better support for our local language, simply to generate captions or transcribe footage efficiently. I would like to ask:Is Thai language support currently on your development roadmap for 2025?If not, can we expect it to be prioritized soon? The creator economy in Thailand is growing rapidly, and native support for transcription would be a game-changer for thousands of loyal Adobe users here. We want to stay in the Adobe ecosystem, but this missing feature makes it increasingly difficult. Thank you for your time. I look forward to you

Close Gap only works on entire sequence vertical gaps.Whatever you try with locking or unsync, forget it.Any shot above a gap will hinder the function.I need Close Gap on TRACK, regardless of what other tracks look like.Please feedback on creating this feature, as users aren't happy about the way Adobe communicates.

Can't do bounce and overshoot animations on the blur zoom transition.I use the new transitions in premiere beta a lot. I love using transitions like push to do bounce and overshoot animations for text entering and exiting the screen. Unfortunately, the zoom blur transition doesn't have the same controls, could you add those please?

I'd like make a feature request and to draw everyone's attention to the problem no one seems to pay attention to in regards of the synchronization mechanizm in Premiere Pro. I mean this function:The good and almighty Sync function that is here to save our time and sync "in seconds like a pro" like bloggers like to say, under the skin is the worst sync feature out there. Let me explain with this fantastic example.What will happen if you place on the timeline a ready-made video with all your cuts and transitions, background music and SFX, but with one part in the video where there's a clear and sound voiceover, and try to sync it with the same voiceover or a video from the originsl clip? This is what will happen:Dispite the fact that both the parts are identical in sound and you can see it by the waveform (a slight compression should not be an issue), and I even moved the parts closer to each other, they refuse to sync.Why?Because Premiere Pro ignores the IN and OUT points of your clips.

hello great people, am requesting adobe , to include redo, do function button  in the button panel or closer or just above the timeline as most popular editing app like filmora, capcut do,  i find it handy and convient since it is commonly used but remotely assesed thru, edit menu, thanks alot looking foraward to this change soon

Now that all the menus have been revamped into shorter lists but with many sublevels, it is difficult to get to certain funstions. Like this:It's more convenient but in no way fast. What I suggest is give us, Premiere Pro users, a custom panel where we could add all the necessary functions we use most often. Something like this is made in numerous plugins. Paid for plugins. As a Premiere Pro user I would like to have such a panel internally. It could be a custom dockable panel like this: Having activated this panel, we'll have an opportunity to add all the necessary functions via a submenu (an "add function button") where all the functions will be listed like in the Shortcuts menu:Those functions that don't have a proper icon would be marked with a default icon for which a user can choose a custon (CUSTOM!) colour or choose whether to show only the first 2 letters of the name. Plus separators like in the program monitor tool set. Other feature requests are here. 

Now that Premiere Pro has more than 90 new effects and transitions, there is a question of how to search the necessary ones faster especially when you are on a tight deadline. Favourites is great but it demands a preparation (finding and saving effects and transitions prior to work). The search in the Effects window is too far away from the timeline and you have to reset it every time you need a manual search. The perfect solution would be a search effects window brought via a key combination like the "standard" for such features Shift+Space. Once you use it, a panel appears consisting of 3 parts:- the upper part shows the previously used N effects and transitions (where N is set in the Preferences).- the middle is the actual Search bar where you type in names of effects and transitions. - the lower part under the Search shows the results found. - The search is "clever" - it will dynamically show N results (where N is set in the Preferences) starting with the typed symbols. - The selec

There is an AI object mask tool in the current Beta which will be added in Premiere Pro 26. I tested the beta version and it was genuinely good, but the way it is applied is not as fast and intuitive as it could be.Right now the mechanism is this:- select the MOT in the instruments panel- click an object in your footage to select it- hit the tracking button to gather the tracking data. By default this tracking data does nothing. In order to use it you have to apply it to a property. For instance, if you need your object isolated from the background, you need to apply (copy) the tracking data (unassigned mask) to the opacity property. If you need to isolate an effect - you copy it to an effect property. This system does not work with any effect plus it feels external, like Mocha, not integrated into Premiere Pro, not native, despite the dedicated buttons in the interface.. And it demands additional button clicks. I suggest taking away the AI object mask tool from the tools panel where i

Premiere Pro is growing—and so are real-world editing demands. Unfortunately, the right-click context menus have grown too much. They now exceed screen height, forcing arrow scrolling. That’s bad ergonomics, slower workflows, and death by a thousand clicks.Editors need speed, not treasure hunts.Suggestions:Recently Used Actions in Context MenusAdd a dynamic “Recently Used” section at the top of all context menus.Example: Reveal in Project is frequently used but buried deep. It should surface automatically based on usage, not muscle memory.Smart Transition Recall on Clip SeamsWhen clicking a clip seam, show the last 10 used transitions instead of always defaulting to the same old default transition.Editors reuse patterns—Premiere should learn them, not ignore them.Why this matters:Fewer clicksLess cursor travelFaster decision-makingReduced cognitive loadPremiere is a professional tool. Professionals value momentum.Let the UI adapt to the editor—not the other way around.

When I choose 'Premiere Help' in the Help menu, I get a web page, where the search bar finds results in documentation of Adobe apps, in stead of Premiere specific information. Please restrict the search bar to the app from which the help request is invoked.,

Am I misremembering, or could I, until recently, do simple maths in number input fields, like in After Effects (eg. if I wanted to reduce the opacity to half of what it is, I could just type "/2" after the value in the number field). It doesn't work in PPro beta nor the release version - was I imagining that previous PPro versions had this ability? If so, let's bring it in!   Moved to Ideas board by mod

Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm missing the reference monitor as it would be a workaround for the ongoing problems with Mercury Transmit (see: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/mercury-transmit-issues-3-monitor-setup/m-p/10961086). The reference monitor or a second program monitor would help in that case as they are independent from display resolution or scaling. They are just a panel like every other that I could drag and drop wherever I like (also in a corner if the third monitor is for someone else who needs to have a script open).This is setup independence I'd like to have back. If not in the shape of a reference monitor, then with the possibility of opening a second program monitor (panel).An option in such a panel to lock the monitor to be only program or (auto) switchable between source and program would also be helpful. Mercury transmit is nice IF it works and if you want the image to be full screen. In other cases, the "update" of rem

Further to the discussion linked below, I would like to add an additional feature request regarding anchor point behavior.When SRT captions are imported and upgraded to graphics, both paragraph text and point text have anchor points that are created in a different position compared to regular Essential Graphics text.This difference makes positioning and animation inconsistent with standard graphic text workflows.I would like to request that anchor points for upgraded SRT-based graphics be created in the same position and behavior as standard graphic text.Thank you for taking this request into consideration. refs: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-discussions/srt%E3%82%92%E4%B8%80%E8%88%AC%E7%9A%84%E3%81%AA%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%95%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%83%86%E3%82%AD%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%81%A8%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E6%89%B1%E3%81%88%E3%82%8B%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E3%81%AB%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F%E3%81%84/m-p/15636468?profile.

I would prefer for clip crop settings to be an independant group in effects control versus being part of the motion group as they are now.

im just bringing this idea back into relevence as clearly adobe are just ignoring the original post, however im sure almost everyone can agree that WE DO NOT NEED THESE, all they do is hide the waveform and add a extra useless distraction. PLEASE add a option to remove these stupid tags in the next update as im sure the entire adobe community would appreciate it. this has literally been a issue talked about for a decade, so for the love of god just listen to the people who are paying monthly subscriptions every month 

Can we get the option to change the default font? Yes I know you can create text styles but I don't want to do that all the time. I just want set a new default font. No more Minion Pro.

I want to draw a mask.I click on the rectangle icon.A rectangular mask appears. Nice.Wait, it's a fixed size. Why this size? Nvm, I'll just resize it.Where's the handle? I suppose it's that rectangle thingy. Unusual.Wait, why is it making it all blurry? Maybe the other handle.Nice, it's resizing. Wait, why are the edges rounded? I never asked for that.Let's look for more... Nope, there's no option. I have to resize it by hand.This is very tedious. Especially when you do that dozens of times a day for weeks, months, years.There's a super easy fix : just switch from "on click, rectangle is spawn" to "on click, cursor changes into rectangle icon, then user can draw the rectangle mask the size he wants".Then, feather and angle roundness can be adjusted via mask options.Why not?
