Multiple Adobe Feature Requests for Workflow Improvements

First, I’d like to say thanks for the recent updates!

The focus on performance, stability, and small long-overdue improvements has really made a difference. The UI feels smoother, and it’s great to see more transparency around the development process.

That said, as a daily Premiere Pro user (and freelancer who often works across different teams and clients), I’ve collected a few requests over the past months that I think would improve workflow and performance even further:

 

Background Loading

  • Don’t always load every sequence in the background. If I only have one sequence open, performance shouldn’t be bogged down by other sequences I have in a project.

Graph Editor

  • Introduce a more advanced graph editor, again similar to After Effects, for better animation control.

 

Sequence Scaling

  • Allow easy scaling up a sequence while maintaining all proportions, similar to how it works in After Effects.

 

SVG Support

  • Proper support for .svg files in Premiere Pro. Even if real rasterization is needed under the hood, they shouldn’t look extremely low quality.

 

Lumetri Vignette Rotation

  • Add the ability to rotate the vignette inside Lumetri, especially needed for vertical (9x16) projects.

 

Text Editing Mode Performance

  • Working in Text Editing Mode often slows down overall performance significantly, so it's not very useful currently.

 

Subtitles Linked to Audio

  • Let us link audio and subtitles, so when voice over clips are moved or extended, the captions follow automatically.

 

“Playhead Follows Selection” Behavior

  • With this feature enabled, please prevent the playhead from jumping to a new clip while I’m moving things around or working in another window. It's a constant thing that happens all the time, especially when keyframing.

 

Frame.io Account Switching

  • Make it easier to switch between multiple Frame.io accounts. Freelancers often work with several studios/clients, and the current switching process in not very fast.

 

Disk Space Error Handling

  • Instead of infinite error messages when the drive is full, simply allow saving and exiting safely.

 

Optional / Bonus:

  • A one-click way to end a song and fade it out with a Reverb smoothly (like Remix, but for ending a song with a stinger). Example: YouTube link

Use productions to avoid every sequence being loaded.

 

But you will need a project for each sequence and to keep the other projects closed.

If you actually want the team to see this, you must file these as invidual threads, so they can be discussed and/or upvoted for each request.

 

As to the Lumetri vignette, just change the roundness setting. Which goes from wide horizontal through round to vertical.
