Feature Requests

Hallo adobe, I'm an Adobe Premiere user.I use it for my work, social activities, and personal vlogging. Therefore, I'd like to suggest adding Indonesian to the transcript. This would be very helpful for me and, of course, would make things easier for Adobe users in Indonesia. Thank you.

I've been digging the recently added search panel feature. Deep and fuzzy search across projects is a step in the right direction.However I've noticed a behavior which I find annoying, and that is, it always remembers your previous search and persists in the panel every time you open it (provided you haven't closed the project or quit Premiere). This means you could use the search to find a clip, double-click and close the search panel, finish your edits, go to lunch, take some meetings, and come back to the edit 3 hours later. If you were to invoke the search panel again (I'm using cmd+shift+F), that same text you searched for will still be there.I'm sure this might have some defenders but for the vast majority of software with a search function as well as file systems (finder, spotlight, raycast) and productivity & notetaking systems (notion, obsidian, endless productivity tools) and so on, when you invoke a search it always starts fresh. I find it distracting to have to manually

mpeg2 is a standard delivery format for several television stations we deliver paid programs to. It is presently a pain to get those particular files encoded with captions and I am going to look at other NLE options if Adobe doesn't get on the ball and add this soon...

Hello,one of the latest OBS updates (V 30.2) introduced the ability to add markers to the video using shortcuts. However, these markers are currently not recognized by Premiere Pro.This functionality would be very useful during the editing process, and it would be great to have it integrated into Premiere Pro.

I really like Duplicate Frame Markers, but have issues when I edit Multicam. As soon as I switch angles, Premiere sees it as a totally new clip, so it doesn’t mark duplicates—even when the actual content (like dialogue) is the same. Great for visuals, but not so helpful when you’re trying to catch repeated audio. I suggest an extra option in the wrench menu - Show Duplicate Frame Markers across Multicam angles.

to be able to  replace Source Graphic by alt draging just like we do with video onto different source graphic

I have the up/down arrows set as my shortcuts to jump between clips in the Timeline.I want these SAME shortcuts to also allow me to jump to the first/last frame of a clip in the Effect Controls window when it's the active window.  Unfortunately Pr doesn't allow the same shortcuts to be assigned to these functions, which is a pity since it would be a lot handier to use the up/down keys to navigate both the timeline AND the Effect Controls window rather than needing different shortcuts for each.  Please allow this since there's simply no good reason not to.  Thank you.

PLEASE give us a "Limit exported frame size to 2MB" checkbox in the Export Frame pop up window! Why?  Because YouTube only accepts thumbnails up to 2MB in size!  Having the option to export a thumbnail frame up to 2MB in size directly from Premiere would save users the tedious step of having to resize their exported frame to under 2MB afterward.

It would be great to be able to add any metadata overlay with the overlay settings. As it is now we are limited to Source Timecode, Sequence Timecode, Markers, Sequence Clip Name, Project Clip Name, File Name, Sound Timecode, and Sound Roll. It would be great if you could choose any of the many fields in the Metadata Panel. This could also be implemented as an effect similar to or integrated into the existing clip name effect. It could also be integrated into the simple text effect. You could pick a source track and it would overlay or burn in the chosen metadata field.

Subsequence Auto-Switch Behavior in Premiere Pro 2025Dear Adobe Premiere Pro Team,I’d like to provide feedback on a change in Premiere Pro 2025 regarding the “Make Subsequence” function.Currently, when I select a portion of a sequence, right-click, and choose Make Subsequence, the program automatically:Places the new subsequence in the Timeline, andSwitches the focus away from my original sequence.This behavior introduces unnecessary interruptions to my workflow. Instead of continuing seamlessly in my main timeline, I now have to close the subsequence and re-open my original sequence, adding extra steps every time I use this feature.Why this is a problemDisrupts established workflows: Editors often use subsequences for organization, but not for immediate timeline switching.Increases friction: Each forced switch requires manual correction, which adds up significantly over the course of a project.Removes flexibility: Editing is highly personal. One-size-fits-all behaviors don’t work well

In Adobe Illustrator we have Global Colors, where one swatch can control multiple objects. If you change that swatch, all linked elements update instantly.It would be extremely useful to have something similar in Premiere Pro, especially for:Text created in the Essential Graphics panelShape layers and graphicsMotion Graphics templatesFor example:I create a few titles, logos, and shapes in Premiere Pro.All use the same “brand color.”Instead of manually updating every single title/graphic, I’d like to update the color once (in a swatch/global setting), and every linked item changes automatically.This would save a lot of time for editors working with brand guidelines, social posts, or projects with multiple color variations.Something like Global Color Swatches in Premiere Pro, with the ability to reassign linked colors in one click, would be a big workflow improvement.

Es wäre toll, wenn man die Möglichkeit hätte, mit einem Klick Dinge wie Augenringe, Hautrötungen, verfärbte Zähne und ähnliche Schönheitsfehler zu korrigieren wie bei  CapCut oder in Ansätzen in Lightroom. Für kreative Arbeiten wäre es auch cool, wenn man die Möglichkeit hätte z.B. Augenfarben oder Hautfarben mit einem Klick anzupassen oder Hintergründe automatisch auszublenden oder verschwimmen zu lassen ohne es erst aufwendig selbst zu maskieren.

Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn man mit einem Klick ein Overlay für verschiedene Social Media Plattformen  (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) aktivieren könnte um eine Vorschau für das Aussehen des Videos auf diesen Plattformen zu haben und Safezones sofort zu erkennen. Dann würde man sofort sehen, wenn z.B. wichtige Elemente und Untertitel, Überschriften usw. in einem Bereich liegen, der später nach dem Hochladen auf diesen Plattformen von Buttons überdeckt wird. 

Please make this possible as it's very usefull if you want to do it on a clip/clips and then use it in the Mogrt or change multiple clips at once before placing them to the timeline. See attachments

It would be a game-changer to have automatic rotoscoping built directly into Premiere Pro, similar to what’s available in After Effects or Final Cut Pro. As someone who edits a lot of sports reels, speed and efficiency are crucial. Being able to click on a subject — like an athlete — and have Premiere automatically track and mask them out would save a ton of time. This would be incredibly useful for effects like placing text or graphics behind the player, applying background blur, or doing isolated color grading without jumping into After Effects. Having AI-driven masking right in the Premiere timeline would seriously streamline fast-turnaround edits and make creative effects more accessible.

I love how precise the Color Balance tool in Photoshop is, how you can adjust shadows, midtones and highlights with exact number values. I wish there was a way to do this in Premiere; the RGB curves, color wheels and other grading tools are not as intuitive or easily adjustable in my experience.

I mean come on, the AI transcriber was better at this last year. For the life of me I can’t grok how when going from an obviously male speaker to an obviously female speaker that the AI transcriber should combine the two as the same speaker. Now I get how ithe AI transcribert gets confused in a crosstalk situation. And for that there needs to be a razor blade tool for transcripts so I can split a block of transcription when a new speaker chimes in. And also a merge tool for transcripts so I can take two adjacent chunks of transcript by the same speaker and combine them. And a paragraph tool for transcripts for easier editing.And I need to be able to edit speaker names again, no idea why this functionality was removed. C’mon “To edit speaker names, make changes in the Source transcript” I’m literally editing the source transcript.

I find editing captions in Premiere Pro a bit difficult. If I could edit it like Capcut did, I would place the cursor where the caption needs to be split -> press enter to split the caption line into tw,o like a line break but create an additional caption layer, and if I want a pure line break, I would Alt + Enter (or Shift + Enter)And in the Vietnamese market, Capcut is still the editing software that allows automatic creation of Vietnamese subtitles with higher accuracy than some other software that I use and then export the SRT file back to Premiere Pro.To be honest, I hope the caption feature gets more attention because now is the era of short videos, not just YouTube videos.

The current way to add and manipulate transitions on the timeline is a sort of "guess & check" method, you've got to have the right amount of handle frames before you add it, and the way it is displayed isn't very visually appealing.I propose adding the same functionality that Audition has, where overlapping clips will automatically create a crossfade. This is an incredibly intuitive way of handling transitions, and can also be applied to Video transitions (as is done on other professional NLEs). See attached gif for an explanation of what I mean.Currently, overlapping clips on the timeline will create a cut. For editors that use this functionality as a shortcut (no pun intended), this "auto crossfade" feature would be optional (easy to toggle on/off on-the-fly). I think this would be a great way to increase productivity for transitions, as well as avoid accidentally losing your work by inadvertently overlapping clips when moving things around en masse on the timeline!

Every other app has it now. Adobe showcased automatic masking at Adobe Max once before, but it has still not been introduced in the software. Premiere not having it is making me consider other options. PS: I don't want to go to After Effects if I have like 100+ clips to mask in one Premiere project.

I would like the ability to select multiple sequences in the project window and be able to change the settings for all them at once.Currently, I have to adjust them individually.

Please let me export and reimport transcripts IN AN EDITABLE FORMAT. I can export and reimport transcripts in a binary .transcript format for which I have no editor. I can export transcripts and captions in a text format, but cannot reimport either after running them through a text editor.This would save me hours of work daily.

When creating captions:Stop inserting hard returns in captions. Give us a choice of selecting either balancing ragged lines (y’all have this code in InDesign) or inserting soft returnsLet me choose triple lines (useful on square or tall videos)Let me set the font, size, color on creation and then save them as a preset. I never ever under any circunstances want captions in Minion 48, yet that is inexplicably the default.Set a highlight color for following along with captions. There are free video editors that offer this. And then give me a choice of two effects: Follow words as spoken: This highlights the currrent word being utteredKaraoke effect: This crawls across the words as spoken, lingers on long words, and leaves uttered words highlightedSee attached for how revised dialog should look.

Do I want my transcriptions to be like the New York Times i.e percent instead of % or one instead of 1? Or do I prefer to always use the shortest possible amount of text, Gov. Newsome instead of Governor Newsome or Rep. Greene instead of Representative Greene. Do I want to use the Oxford Comma or the Harvard Comma? There should be built in choices for Chicago, AP, New York Times style guides and the option to make custom edits.

In the latest Premiere Beta 24.2.0 you have the option for Channel Selection when Transcribing a single clip.  However, it would be useful to have the same functionality when selecting multiple clips. Currently this is not possible.This would help my workflow using a multi-channel camera in a fast-paced documentary environment (having multiple people wearing lavaliers, but camera only focusing on one subject at a time, so the audio from other lavs would "contaminate" the transcription of the channel of the person I am focusing on). Currently I have to select and transcribe clips one by one to ensure only the channel I need is being transcribed. By allowing the same channel selection across multiple clips I could batch transcribe clips with the same channel configuration, saving a lot of time.
