Support HEIF still photos from Sony cameras in PremiereOpen for Voting

Sony cameras such as the a6700, FX30, A7sIV can capture photos in HEIF format, with a .HIF file extension. These files are supported by current versions of Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Photoshop. However they are not supported in Adobe Premiere. HEIF is the standard format of the Apple / iPhone ecosystem since 2017 (iOS 11). It is a superior alternative to JPEG for Sony shooters along with / instead of RAW. Sony HEIF supports 10-bit color 4:2:2 and HLG color space for HDR. A HEIF photo taken on an iPhone 12 with .HEIC file extension will open correctly in Premiere. However trying to import an HEIF photo from a Sony FX30 with .HIF file extension results in “File format not supported” error in Premiere 26.2.2.If I rename the .HIF Sony photo to .HEIC or .HEIF file extensions, then Premiere will allow them to import, however the photo never appears in the Source or Preview monitor, instead it just shows black.Please support Sony .HIF photos in Premiere, as they are already supported in other Adobe products. They are supported in Davinci Resolve 20 and Final Cut Pro 11 as well. The Sony .HIF photos open perfectly in MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7 Preview app and Photos app.The only workaround to get these photos into Premiere is to export them from Photoshop, Lightroom, or Apple Photos into another format like TIFF that supports > 8-bit colors and HLG. Until Premiere supports Sony .HIF files, this seems like the perfect opportunity for me to finally learn Resolve.Sample .HIF 4:2:2 HLG HEIF photo from Sony FX30 is attached, and Premiere errors. FX30 firmware v6.0.1. (Your website wouldn’t allow uploading a .HIF file extension, so I put it in a .zip file.)

FEATURE REQUEST: Speed ramp AUDIO when speeding up VIDEOOpen for Voting

Right now when you use the time remapping feature in Premiere Pro, it does not influence the audio linked to the video, so if you want to make a gradual speed ramping, your audio looses synchronization after the point where the speedramp starts. I suggest adding speed ramping for the audio as well - an automatic one that changes the audio pitch to the same extent as the speed of the video, and a separate one - to manipulate the speed of an audio that is unlinked from the video or has no video at all. I'm not talking about changing the pitch but rather changing the speed with the time remap handles like it's done with the video, so the duration of the audio track is changed as well when applying this time remapping for the audio.I know, I can cut the part I want to change the speed of and use "Maintain pitch" checkbox but this is not time remapping, but rather changing the speed abruptly. Suppose I have a video of a basketball match and I want to speed-ramp the goal moment retaining the sound change as well, make it gradually slow down and lower the pitch - I'll have to do the time remap for the video and then cut the audio of this moment from both sides and apply an animated pitch effect trying to approximately set it to the level where the sound would be as slow and guess its length. This is dreary and ridiculous especially when there's a "software for phonies and tiktokies" - Capcut that does it with JUST a single remapping feature.PS:  do not sugest After Effects where it works with the sound as well. Capcut loads faster and I'd better go there instead... AND it's done with a SIMPLE custom curve there!

P: (AI) Batch edting based upon a personal styleOpen for Voting

We urge you to consider a transformative feature for Lightroom: an AI-powered batch editing tool, finely tuned to each photographer's unique style. Imagine a feature that learns from an individual's editing history, creating a personalized AI profile. This tool would not only expedite batch processing but also evolve with the user's artistic growth. An essential addition would be intelligent AI-assisted culling. This feature would automatically discern and prioritize images, streamlining the initial selection phase and focusing on quality and composition. Moreover, the introduction of adaptive 'SmartPresets' is crucial. These presets, unlike any currently available, would dynamically adjust to each image, informed by the user's historical editing patterns, ensuring consistency and quality across varied lighting and contextual scenarios. The integration of such advanced AI features would dramatically revolutionize the editing workflow, cutting down editing time and freeing photographers to focus on their creative pursuits. Currently, many turn to costly external solutions for these capabilities. By incorporating these features into Lightroom, Adobe has the opportunity to redefine the landscape of digital photography software, offering an unparalleled in-house solution that would render external tools obsolete. This is not just a feature request; it's a call for Adobe to continue its legacy of innovation, to empower photographers at all levels, and to lead the industry towards a future where technology and artistry seamlessly converge.
