Feature Requests

I need a way to nativly edit all selected Sequence's Settings at once. Also, I would like to golabaly edit Premieres default new Sequence Settings, instead of it trying and guessing based on the type of media already loaded into the project.I would even accept Premiere mathcing the imported media exactly, for example, when I drag a Apple Prores 422 Proxy file into the empty timeline window, it creates a match sorce sequence at every step, accept for the codec. It creates an Apple Prores 422 LT.  

The menu bar stays at the top of the monitor, separated from the rest of the interface when I reduce its size to fit other applications on my screen.This would be a great help, so I don’t have to reach all the way out from my work window in order to use the top menu bar.

With every update, there seems to be more and more changes made that makes this software unusable. I have to look up a tutorial now on where the mask tool is! Normally, I would hover over search and type in what I need but wouldn’t you know it, for all the investment into AI features there has been zero investment in common sense utility. I cannot wait to learn DaVinci so that for my next project I don’t have rent software that changes on me so drastically, I lose time learning how to use what should never have changes to begin with.  Just add a search bar if you’re going to remove the useful tools I need man. I cannot afford to lose anymore time. 

Premiere 2026 projects cannot be downgraded for import to PR 2026 or earlier due to changes in the 2026 project data structure. Recent discussions about this have not yet been ported to the new forum. The primary previous feature request is here, but may be missing some interim posts. Also, it was primarily an explanation for how to use the non-Adobe methods for changing the project file version number. https://community.adobe.com/feature-requests-730/open-premiere-project-in-older-version-downgrade-project-version-1329162?postid=1329162#post1329162 At a minimum, there needs to be a method for downgraded a PR 2026 project to 2025. A longer term issue is the need, for years, for a more robust converter or for the After Effects procedure for doing a “save as” from a later PR version to some number of earlier versions. January 26, ​@hellopaul4 started a thread titled “Has version "2026" killed the ability to downgrade a project to a previous version?” The most important reply was by ​@Fer

One thing that is really missing in Premiere is a way to disable multiple audio effects at the same time.There is an FX button for visual effects but not for audio.There are some reasons why this would be helpful: A/B comparison, performance (some audio effects have a huge performance hit), quick disable during punch in.At the moment, the only way is to click on every effect and bypass it one by one. A better way could be an additional bypass button per track and/or a global bypass button (either for only one sequence or all sequences as with the global FX button for visual effects).

Hello there,I was having trouble with saving my color presets so that I don’t have to start from scratch grading my talking head clips? Is this feature available or coming in the future?

In old versions of Premiere, when importing a logo, you could add a shadow and a stroke with the same characteristics as the fonts. In the new versions, this is not possible. To add a shadow or a stroke, you need to add a drop shadow effect.

Hello ! Context :I'm using Premiere Pro daily with a timeline opened in my Source Monitor to have a similar configuration than the "Toggle Source/Record" from Avid. I find this workflow to be a lot more precise and pleasing than pancaked timelines, as you can anticipate exactly the start and end frame when puttings clips on the program timeline, and use the two monitors efficiently. This way of working in Premiere works actually works, but there are a few annoying bugs and small things missing that are really painful when using this workflow daily. This bug/feature which is here since a long timeline is one of the reasons this workflow sometimes feels painful (see this and this topic). The bug :Open a timeline in the Program Monitor.Open this same timeline in the Source Monitor.From the Source Monitor, click on the wheel and "Open in Timeline"The previously opened timeline in the Program Monitor will be closed, and nothing will be opened anymore in the Source Monito

So I have switched over to the Sony Burano to shoot raw, and to my surprise, there is no raw pannel like ARRIRAW or R3D. Resolve has the functionality, but I am Premiere through and through. Can you all please please please add that functionality. This will be a popular camera with the sony Venice so Access to those tools are paramount. 

Premiere Pro should add a playback mode that skips the marked In/Out range during playback, allowing editors to audition a removal without modifying the timeline.This is not the same as Lift, Extract, Ripple Delete, Play Around, or Loop Playback. The goal is to temporarily hear and see the edit as if the marked section had been removed, while leaving the actual sequence untouched.Proposed behaviorWhen this mode is enabled:The editor marks an In and Out point around a section of the timeline. Playback starts before the In point. When playback reaches the In point, Premiere seamlessly continues from the Out point. Audio and video remain frame-accurate and sample-accurate. The timeline is not modified. The mode can be toggled on/off with a keyboard shortcut.Why this mattersEditors often need to test whether a section (ranging from seconds to whole story-arcs) can be removed before committing to a cut. This happens constantly when tightening dialogue, reducing pauses, adjusting music rhyth

I really hate using the button “from file” while using the properties panel, it just takes lots of time to look for it in the external finder window. Especially i already have it open in my existing finder tab. So would it be possible that we could do drag and drops in the properties panel? 

In After Effects when you choose frames or timecode as the time display format in the timeline it displays the playhead position in your primary units (e.g. frames), and shows the alternative measurement (e.g. timecode) beneath in smaller type. I'd like to suggest that a similar thing could be implemented in Premiere. The use case is that it's useful to see at a glance where you are in a timeline in both units, for example client notes tend to use timecode, whereas for animation I'm often working in frames. I'd suggest that the alternative display was shown to the right of the primary playhead position. I'm aware that AE only has 2 time unit display types, whereas there are 4 I think in Premiere. Perhaps for frames and feet and frames the alt display would be timecode, and for timecode the alt would be frames. Or maybe the user could just alt-click through both to select which is show for either. This is a QoL suggestion, but would make a fair difference to my working da

When you replace a clip in the timeline now doing this, it doesn’t respect the original timecode, all the clips start from 00:00:00. It would be great if it respected the original timecode!

Please make it possible to batch-apply subtitles with tracking icon images to the entire timeline at once! Isn't there any quicker workaround?

This is a rant post. The new Masking Features in Premiere Pro are painful. If I want elaborate masking, I’ll go to Photoshop or After Effects. Adding 5 clicks to every time I wanna mask seriously slows my workflow down. I am considering staying on a 2025 patch because this is so frustrating. I dont wanna mask with AI, I dont wanna have to click 25 different things, it was marvelous as it was. Simple. For a simple sequencer like premiere. This is not After Effects. Would be a fever dream if you revert but I know theres no way. AI takin over

In Beta 26.3.0, I discovered Range Markers have been added!  So I ask, “what can I do with them?”Turns out not much.What I’d like to see is a batch export timeline sections using Range Markers.  Simply add “Range Markers” to the “Range” dropdown on the export dialog.  It would then export the Range Markers as separate files with the parameters from the settings. For file names it could use the Range Marker Name (if available), or just add a numeral to the file name in the dialog.The idea is to work like CD Track Markers in Audition. You set up the range markers on the timeline, rename them, then export to discreet audio files which retain the marker names.When I have to slice up a longer file to shorter ones,  I currently have to set in/out for one section, open Export panel, make sure range in/out is selected, name the file, then mouse all the way down to the Send to AME button and click (no keyboard action can complete the export). Then rinse and repeat for each section. It will be m

I have been a professional video editor for 20 years. I work daily on video commercials for some of the biggest brands in the world.In my 20 years of professional paid work, I have NEVER even once needed or wanted to use ‘auto bezier’ on keyframes. It is a completely useless feature that for some reason CONSTANTLY resets as the default setting when creating position keyframes. It’s a waste of time for it to default to ‘auto bezier’ everytime I create a position keyframe because I then have to right click the keyframes and convert them back to linear.1) So it should NOT ever change or default from Linear to ‘auto bezier’, unless I SPECIFICALLY click the ‘auto bezier’ option. (Which I never will)2) or there should be a global option in preferences to DISABLE auto-bezier so it can’t even be clicked. This would be great; because I hate auto-bezier so much. It has wasted thousands and thousands of mouse clicks and time over the years... I literally have a preset created in every project I w

Building a Plugin and I think there is no function to check if a clip has a transition…So something like getVideoTransition / getInTransition / getOutTransitionwould be super nice so i can apply existing transitions to new clips :D

I use Adobe premiere pro 23. It was stuck in software only. And gpu sniffer error massage. Tried everything from youtube tuts, turning on simulatehw, etc nothing helped.  Even you simulate it actually it doesn’t use any gpu. I just downgraded my gpu driver to this.AMD Software: Adrenalin EditionRevision NumberAdrenalin 26.3.1 (WHQL Recommended)File Size908 MBRelease Date2026-03-19 

Loving the new colour page but currently, masks seem to be owned by the adjustment. This is the wrong approach sorry. Masks should be independent of adjustments, added to any grade/adjustment with the ability to...Combine with any number of other masks (AI or shape masks) on the adjustment Full options to unite, minus, intersect and exclude masks when combing Independent invert switches on every mask to isolate area/object as needed Unlink a mask from the original track, to independently tweak it per adjustment Once you have a good track/mask, it should be totally reusable and combinable, with full flexibility to unlink and customise it on a per adjustment basis. Keep up the good work but as I’m sure you can see, masking is the game-changer that stops the colour page from playing catchup, to overtaking the competition. Don’t skimp here! Also, what’s up with the horrible, pixellated HUDs on retina Macs? Haven’t found a fix for this yet. Cheers, Ben

Let me press enter/carriage return to activate the blue transcribe and save button when creating a source/static transcript and changing speaker names. I don’t want to mouse around to click the buttons or reposition the windows which tend to open off screen...

It's quite frankly ridiculous that this is not allowed. I work a lot for social media and it would be quite useful to simply upload files to the cloud storage and download them to my phone to share them

For every new project in 360 video, I have to right click the preview window, the VR Video, Settings, then enter 160 by 90. The default is a square window that NO ONE needs or uses. It needs to be a video format of 16 x 9, or some other std format.Anyway the point is why can’t the settings be sticky? I would like to set the default VR Video Settings, and then that’s what you get viewed on the preview window when starting a sequence. Having to do this on each project is a waste of time.  Thanks for listening.

Hi Everyone,I hope you’re all doing well.|I've been a dedicated user of Premiere Pro for quite some time and love the robust features it offers for video editing. However, I've noticed that other platforms, such as CapCut, Descript, and Opus, provide more advanced options for animated captions and AI-driven features.Given the increasing demand for these functionalities, I find it somewhat inefficient to edit a reel in Premiere Pro and then export it to another program to finalize the captions. Does anyone know if there are plans to integrate more animated caption options and additional AI-driven tools directly within Premiere Pro in the near future?Thank you for your insights!

In the caption section of the text tab, it seems that the auto generated text has widows and poor spacing. It would be a great time saver if there could be more text options like, no widows, alignment and spacing, etc. when creating the captions instead of fixing it after.
