Feature Request: a synchronization upgrade for Premiere ProOpen for Voting

I'd like make a feature request and to draw everyone's attention to the problem no one seems to pay attention to in regards of the synchronization mechanizm in Premiere Pro. I mean this function:The good and almighty Sync function that is here to save our time and sync "in seconds like a pro" like bloggers like to say, under the skin is the worst sync feature out there. Let me explain with this fantastic example.What will happen if you place on the timeline a ready-made video with all your cuts and transitions, background music and SFX, but with one part in the video where there's a clear and sound voiceover, and try to sync it with the same voiceover or a video from the originsl clip? This is what will happen:Dispite the fact that both the parts are identical in sound and you can see it by the waveform (a slight compression should not be an issue), and I even moved the parts closer to each other, they refuse to sync.Why?Because Premiere Pro ignores the IN and OUT points of your clips. You cannot trim the clips from both sides and synchronize them because Premiere Pro goes on treating every clip as a whole. You can even tell it by the time it takes Premiere Pro to Sync a 5 seconds cut-out. And should you just render the clips and try to sync the rendered parts, viola!:But for some reason this does not work with Render and replace and Nesting. So I have a feature request for three features in regards to how Premiere Pro synchronizes clips.1) All clips should be viewed as "final" by the software. If a cip is trimmed, it should be analyzed and synced as a rendered clip - fast and accurate. So when a user has a difficult material, they could limit the cleanest and most obvious part of it with an in and out points or just cut it out, then sync it with the rest of such bits from other clips, and then just bring back the cut-off parts by dragging.2) I may be mistaken but I dare to think that we live in 2025, almost 2026. And having to place every clip on a different track in order to make Premiere Pro synchronize them is kind of antique. PluralEyes could automatically define cameras, timecodes, analyze the soundwave and automatically manage the clips to sync them properly back in 2010. Do I have to remind everyone why Maxon discontinued this software?"These capabilities have become standard in most video editing tools"... (с) Where's that standard in Premiere Pro? When you sync automatically you either get a multicam error or a synchronization error with the same media PluralEyes has no problems with after just throwing all the clips and sound into it. And since it was discontinued, i.e. it's not updated, nowadays you get a lot (A LOT!) of issues when using this outdated software with the modern Premiere Pro. We really need a working automatic synchronization function without the need to place clips on separate tracks and create a multicam sequence. In fact there should be no track management at all and every clip from one camera should be placed on the same track as every other clip from the same camera. And the last thing. Adobe is a pioneer of AI, and there's still no AI used for analysing clips before syncing or making a multicam sequence from them. AI is everywhere but the really needed funstions. I would gladly trade the AI-clip-extend feature to an ability ty sync EVERY media that has at list 1 second of distinct audio in it with just one click.

Feature Request: Effects and transitions Fast Search PanelOpen for Voting

Now that Premiere Pro has more than 90 new effects and transitions, there is a question of how to search the necessary ones faster especially when you are on a tight deadline. Favourites is great but it demands a preparation (finding and saving effects and transitions prior to work). The search in the Effects window is too far away from the timeline and you have to reset it every time you need a manual search. The perfect solution would be a search effects window brought via a key combination like the "standard" for such features Shift+Space. Once you use it, a panel appears consisting of 3 parts:- the upper part shows the previously used N effects and transitions (where N is set in the Preferences).- the middle is the actual Search bar where you type in names of effects and transitions. - the lower part under the Search shows the results found. - The search is "clever" - it will dynamically show N results (where N is set in the Preferences) starting with the typed symbols. - The selected transition is applied to the cut of the selected clip nearest to the playhead. Or you can select a cut or several cuts before shiftspacing.- The selected effect is applied to the selected clip or a group of selected clips.- The search is held throughout ALL the effects and transitions Premiere Pro has installed in it, both native and 3d-party.- The search bar disappears by itself immediately after an action has been performed. You don't need to close it manually. Other feature requests are here.

Feature request: better AI masking toolOpen for Voting

There is an AI object mask tool in the current Beta which will be added in Premiere Pro 26. I tested the beta version and it was genuinely good, but the way it is applied is not as fast and intuitive as it could be.Right now the mechanism is this:- select the MOT in the instruments panel- click an object in your footage to select it- hit the tracking button to gather the tracking data. By default this tracking data does nothing. In order to use it you have to apply it to a property. For instance, if you need your object isolated from the background, you need to apply (copy) the tracking data (unassigned mask) to the opacity property. If you need to isolate an effect - you copy it to an effect property. This system does not work with any effect plus it feels external, like Mocha, not integrated into Premiere Pro, not native, despite the dedicated buttons in the interface.. And it demands additional button clicks. I suggest taking away the AI object mask tool from the tools panel where it has no reason to be since it's not a timeline tool, and adding a corresponding button to the opacity property of any effect so you don't have to copy-paste the tracking data but rather create the mask directly in the needed property. Then the tracking data can be copypasted to any other property of any other effect if needed.  Another thing to think of is this: These are the only properties of the AI object mask. It badly needs a reduce chatter, adjust detail, use motion blur, a smoothening and a decontaminate edge colors options. Sometimes the masks come out so rough and including so many background details that it renders such a mask nearly unuseable. Only some additiona effects like adjust alpha or erode help to fix it to an extend, but these are even more additional actions. And the last thing - in the Beta I could not ease the keyframes created by the unassigned mask. In case the mask jaggers at some point, in After Effects I delete one or several intermediate keyframes and ease them and that helps immensely to interpolate them and reduce or even remove the jaggering. In Premiere Pro you cannot do that (at least in the last Beta I used). Other feature requests are here.
