Feature Requests

I'm a documentary editor that uses the text / transcript function to search for dialog in stringout sequences and build out edits in edit sequences that I have pancaked. It's extremely frustrating that when I switch from my stringout timeline to my edit timeline, the playhead continues to search for the word I was searching for in the text window.  I know a workaroudn would be to disable the Follow active monitor feature but this would be less ideal for searching for bites.  An ideal solution would be that the search function in the text window should be specific to each timeline (or clip if searching in the source window.)  So when I click down to my edit timeline the search is cleared, and then when I switch back to my stringout the keyword is there. 

Hello everyone,I've been given a Premiere Pro project with some graphic elements that customize the video. In my various edits, I've noticed that, unlike other programs in the Adobe Suite, Premiere Pro's graphic elements don't have a button to swap the Fill and Stroke colors with a single click. Every time, you have to copy the Hex code of one, sample the other, and then paste the first code into the second. Also, when you open the color picker window, the Hex code isn't immediately highlighted, requiring an extra click to select or change it. I've attached two screenshots to better explain what I mean that's currently "missing". My suggestion is to make the Hex code more accessible in this program as well. When you click the color box (this applies to all color boxes in all filters, templates, etc.), the Hex code should be immediately visible and selectable. I also propose adding a button to easily swap the colors between the Fill and Stroke of graphic elements, and potentia

When using Essential Sound Auto Ducking, it often happens in dialogues that the music is raised even though the pause is too short. Even with a sensitivity of 10. A very simple solution would be an option with a minimum length in seconds. That would save a lot of manual work.

Hi, I moved from MC to Prem about a year ago, one feature I greatly miss is the ability to use phantom marks!  If I mark an in / out on the timeline, Phantom marks show the dynamic in / out points in the source monitor.  It's super helpful as you can jump to the in, mark it and you can easily see your out point.  I'd love to see this feature added to Prem, anyone else miss Phantom Marks?  Thanks

I do a lot of documentary editing with often 12 hours of b-roll. If a director asks for an alternate b-roll shot of a specific object it would be great to be able to search for that object and have all instances of it highlighted on my timeline (or created as a new sequence). Likewise, I often have multiple interviewees, so it would be great to search all of my b-roll for every instance a specific person appears.

I've been using auto-transcripts and text-based editing quite a bit on recent documentary projects. Something that would make the job easier is being able to search across a project for a specific phrase.  Currently I would need to search for the phrase, and then click into every clip that might contain it individually in order to find the clip where that line is said. A search all transcripts option would be very helpful for dealing with large amounts of archival media.  As a workaround, I can export all of my transcripts as text files and have MacOS search everything at once for specific words, but in order to do that I need to make all the text files, and there does not seem to be a batch export for transcripts. 

As the title says, having the ability to export, not just the selected camera angle, but your entire Multi-Camera View in Premiere Pro, would be amazing for 1st draft/internal-review processes as this would give you the ability to show your team all available camera angle options, thus giving (otherwise missing) context as to why you chose a particular camera angle over the other angles. We've all been there where the "reviewer" (be it the producer, team leader, etc) upon viewing your 1st cut, asks if its not better using another camera angle at some point, not know that you might have chosen then best option (out of a bunch of bad options) already and trying to explain this to them now wastes precious time. Now repeat this exercise for numberous cuts. Having the ability for your "reviewer" to see all the angles you see and why your chose a certain angle can cut down on the "back-and-forth" saving a lot of time. Therefore if Premiere Pro had the option to export the Multi-Cam

Hi Adobe team,I’d love to see a feature in Premiere Pro (and Audition) that visually highlights where human voices occur in the audio waveform.Currently, the waveform only displays audio peaks, and with some experience you can often guess where voices are. But in many cases—especially with background noise, music, or very dynamic recordings—it’s difficult to distinguish voices from other sounds.The benefit:If the waveform could highlight sections that contain human voice (for example, by applying a lighter tint or a secondary color), it would save a huge amount of time when skimming through long takes. This would be particularly useful for documentary workflows or interview-based projects where dialogue may appear sporadically. Instead of listening through everything, you could quickly jump to the regions that actually contain speech.How it could work:External tools like Lalal.ai already separate vocals from background audio with impressive accuracy. A simplified version of this could

Is it possible to prevent premiere pro from putting punctuation marks such as commas, periods and capital letters when creating captions? I would like you to just give me the words in lower case and that's it.

I'm trying to write a simple plugin that allows me to change the shown clip keyframes of the selected clips from opacity to time remapping -> speed. I can't seem to find access to that variable in the UXP documentation, but it would be greatly helpful. I guess this would also be an idea/request to allow for changing the shown clip keyframes within a multi-clip selection. This would significantly speed up my workflow and the workflow of just about every other editor that I'm in contact with.

With a multitrack source - if i want to choose A1 and A2 only, and bring it into a 2 track sequence, i. can't select just those channels - it adds the same number of tracks as the source, and chooses extra channels to insert. I then have to delete those clips, and then delete the extra timeline. I should be able see to just choose my source channels. It's really bizarre and something i know AVID editors despise.

When lasso-selecting keyframes in the Effect Controls window, if keyframes are at the beginning or end of the last frame of the clip, they often don't get selected, wether fully or only partially visible.  Selecting them one by one by clicking on them works, but lasso-selecting them doesn't.  This is incredibly frustrating!  Please fix this!  The ECW should ALWAYS FULLY display keyframes, even when they are at the end of the last frame, so that they can easily be selected any which way the user wants. This issue has been ongoing and continues to persist in Pr 25.4.0 on MacOS.

When jumping between keyframes in the Effect Controls Window (ECW) by clicking on the "Go to Next/Previous Keyframe" buttons, the current clip should remain open, ALWAYS, even if the keyframes the user navigates to are outside the visible bounds of the clip. This is the logical behaviour users expect, and it would make it so much easier to delete out of bounds keyframes, since it wouldn't require that users re-click on the desired clip to reload it into the ECW to be able to delete the out of bounds keyframe(s).  Surprisingly, the current unwanted behaviour of jumping to another clip when navigating between keyframes (or moving the playhead out of bounds) also happens even if the user disables Pin to Clip in order to be able to see all of the keyframes in the ECW! Please fix this so that it makes sense and works according to users needs and expectations.  Thank you!

I had posted this idea back in January 2021 but still don't see a similar feature in Premiere Pro. Am I missing something or Premiere Pro has not come up with a feature to easily move an item or several selected items to a targetted bin. As much as I appreciate the drag-and-drop feature to move items inside or outside of bins, it would be a life saver if just by right-clicking on an item would bring up an option to Move Item to Bin and have a submenu come up to allow selecting from a list of bins already created by the user. This would be a tremendously helpful feature especially when working with a large project with hundreds of items in a project. In fact the idea has great potential that I carefully crafted an image of what it would look like in Premiere Pro. 

Currently peak files are either generated on import or manually, but when doing it manually I've found there can be a bug where it will forever refuse to generate certain peak files from then on no matter what you do, and of course the infamously hopeless "Clip -> Generate Waveform". Because of those issues, I keep it set to automatically generate on import, but I often have to find something else to do while the peak files generate as it makes every other process very slow. It would seem a simple answer to fix the 'Generate Waveform' bug, or if I could select on import whether to generate peak files for a specific import, and not another. E.g. I'm editing a two camera shoot, both rolling almost all day with multiple audio channels on both, but I only want one camera's audio and the zoom audio. I could import one folder, tick yes to generate peak files, and import the next and leave it unchecked, etc.  Pretty much any level of control over what and when peak file

Looking for a way to automate videos that need regional ratings bugs and legal lines.  Ideally we can do this en masse, just set up a template of: - Regional Ratings bug placement for ## seconds- Video of various lengths- Translated legal lines to come in for the last ## seconds Is there a way to export this through encoder or Premiere? The goal would be using it for any video, not just setting it up for one specific video a batch export just set-up for that one. 

When I am creating a mask (opacity) and tweak where the points are sometimes I hit is "wrong" and becomes a spline. I would like that to only happen when I really want it to happen. Maybe that can happen if I press a control key?

I know there are some plugins that do beat detection and programs/websites that allow to remove vocals or isolate the instrumental track of a song, but it would be great to implement this directly into Premiere Pro. Specially now that Adobe is focusing in implenting AI in their suite. It would be extremely helpful and a real time saver to have their AI to detect the beat of a song (and place markers in the sequence timeline or audio clip) and also be able to separate the vocal track from the instrumental track from a song, such as vocalremover website does.

I always wish Premiere worked like Avid when it comes to duplicating a sequence, with the intent to continue work.   How often does the following happen to most PP editors? "I want to try something new, but I need to keep this SEQ_01"DUPLICATES SEQUENCE.Edit edit edit"ARGH I've been editing the original sequence.  Oh well, the duplicate is now the original sequence"RENAME SEQ_01 TO SEQ_03.  RENAME SEQ_02 AS SEQ_01.  RENAME SEQ_03 AS SEQ_02"I am annoyed" I recommend that a duplicated sequence is automatically opened in the Timeline window and made the new active sequence.

I'm an average editor -- not a pro. I do not need professional level editing features (And I don't want or need ai. -- I know... blasphemy). As such, it makes more sense for me to have a slimmed down version of Premiere that doesn't cost $22.99. But don't hear what I'm NOT saying -- I don't want Adobe Premiere Rush -- I don't want this for social media. I want to use a basic desktop video editor that doesn't cost literally more than ANY streaming subscription I have. I don't want advanced features as I don't need to edit Zach Snyder's next 4 hour feature film. I just want a simple and cheap editor for simple and cheap YouTube videos. I'm gonna be honest, Davinci Resolve and iMovie are calling my name ("freeeeeeee") -- but I would be willing to continue giving Adobe my money simply to not have to switch to a new software. But I won't keep paying literally double my Apple TV+ subcription just to use the Razor Tool. Basically what I'm saying is... your move. Create a less expensive versio

When I make tracks taller, it'd be extremely helpful for Premiere to keep them centered according to the Timeline window height. Example: When I make my audio tracks taller (Opt-+), this happens:It'd be extremely helpful if this happened instead:I don't know any situation when I want tracks hidden from view when my Timeline window is tall enough to show all of them. I don't want things to happen by accident within those tracks I can't see.

I'm using "new sequence from clip" a lot for creating selects stringouts etc. and it would be awesome to be able to set up a shortcut for this. Thanks!

This is not meant to be a "look DaVinci is better" thread. It's just a comparison of features that in my opinion are long overdue to get some love and updates. First - playback speed and audio:Still after all these year changing the playback speed results in audio artefacts (this phasing, robotic reverb, chorus) when maintaining pitch. I know no audio or video player that does this as of today. Either there is no audio or natural audio.For time stretching it's the same problem. "Do it in Audition" is a workaround that shouldn't be required for quick edits. Second - the graph editor:The graph editor in Premiere is barely enough to do anything serious in it. It's way too tiny and can't be scaled up. The last DaVinci updates show how it should be done. You have a lot more control that way, even for simple things like quick speed ramping and easing in general.No, it shouldn't be a replacement for After Effects but it makes no sense to start up Ae for basic easing configurations.I

Hi Sir/Mam I was using Edius since very long time but i switched to premiere in 2022. From that time i am having issues when ever I upgrade to new version I thought these issues might be solved in this version but all in vein. Issues 1: Optical Flow Optical Flow (when we put optical flow a clip with slow motion every 2nd clip gone blurry. 1frame remain focus and the other frame gone blurry) while this optical flow when we use in Edius or Davinci Resolve its super sharper in every frame even we slow down the clip 10% slower) 2: Nest Clip when we nest some clips we get a single clip there namely nested but when we want to those clips back we have to double click on nested sequence then nested sequence open in other timeline and there we can copy and paste to the main sequence. you should do the option when we right click on nested sequence there should be the option Revert Nest Or any thing else at the same time when we press that option all the cl
