Where are rounded corners?

I have just joined this forum to tell my experience with Premiere.


I have spent the last hour trying to have rounded corners in a clip. That's it.
So a feature that is available in any basic tool, or even css, since 15 years it is absurdly hard to do in Premiere.
For some reason I need to watch YouTube tutorials for learning about HACKS to get rounded corners.

Then I have tried to crop my clip, and the HACK of roughening edges simply fall apart.

 

It is 2025, are you guys kidding?
Do you think it is normal to ship a product of this price tag, by a company like Adobe in such a poor state?
You can say similar stuff about many Adobe products, but today it is Premiere.
You should really think about what you are doing as a company. Just having dark patterns to avoid your customers for leaving is not going to work. Very sad

I don't consider myself important.

I LOVE this solution. It's kinda hidden. I learn something new every time I visit this forum.

 

And my apologies to @Peru Bob I didn't mean to imply you aren't "important".

Everybody important on this forum is probably at NAB this week so I will chime in. I've been using Premiere Pro for 12 years and for many of those years, users begged for stability of the application above any feature and for the most part, stability has been achieved. Adobe can't add every requested feature to Premiere Pro, especially a feature that is included in several other applications in Adobe Creative Suite.

 

My suggestion to you is to learn some of the other programs that are designed to work together to accomplish creative results. Creating a rectangle with rounded corners in Photoshop, After Effects or Illustrator and using it as a mask in PPro is not a HACK. There are several ways to do it. Choose one that works for you.

 

Good editors solve problems. Be a good editor.
