Multiple usage requests in the China region!Open for Voting

I am an editor based in China who primarily works on the final cut of films and TV series. I have been using Premiere Productions for many years and am very fond of it. However, Adobe faces many challenges in China. I would like to voice a common concern shared by most editors in our country and hope you can help us resolve it. We can’t even find a single place in China where we can buy genuine Adobe software; we have to go all the way to Hong Kong to purchase it. I find it unbelievable how Adobe has neglected us. In China, we are unable to access many Adobe features, such as Adobe Firefly and Frame.io. We hope you can help us gain access to these powerful tools. We hope you will introduce more practical features specifically tailored for film and TV productions. In many countries and regions, the editing software ecosystem is being dominated by DaVinci Resolve, as Resolve holds the final say over the output process. However, I still believe that Premiere’s editing capabilities and ecosystem surpass those of Resolve; yet, Premiere needs more ways to integrate with Resolve. We often face challenges when handing off projects to colorists after final cuts, as collaboration is hindered by differences in the algorithms and logic between the two software programs. We hope there will be a way to quickly import Premiere projects into Resolve for professional color grading. If the difficulty of transferring between the two software programs could be reduced, it would encourage many film and TV editors to return to Premiere. We hope you can hear our heartfelt message. Thank you very much.

Align Auto-Captions to Existing Timeline CutsOpen for Voting

Auto-transcribe and the creation of captions from these transcriptions are great features - but, I find myself spending a lot of time tidying up the way captions get split up, and then tweaking how they have been cut against the timeline. Point 1: I often need to combine many captions after they've been generated from a transcript. Premiere will often split a sentence up into 3 or more separate captions, and I have to manually 'combine' them afterwards, despite setting the max 72 characters, and 6 second duration (single line) in the caption window. Perhaps we could have the option to have a higher character count in this panel to begin with? Point 2: I spend a lot of time adjusting the captions to fit in with existing cuts in the timeline. Oftentimes, the auto-generated captions will cut from one to the next, anywhere from 1-10 frames either side of an existing cut in the video clips in my sequence - This is jarring for the viewer, as the scene changes and then 5-10 frames later the caption changes. This is also the case during silent portions of the audio, where there's a short pause. It would make much more sense if the software was able to intelligently line up the change in captions with existing video cuts in the sequence, so that as the video clip changes, the caption changes. This would help my workflow by saving on the time required to produce each video, as I would no longer need to manually tweak/refine the placement of every caption in every video.
