Request for More Accessible and Detailed Metadata for AI-based Video Editing in Premiere ProOpen for Voting

Dear Adobe Premiere Pro Team,I am currently working on developing an AI-powered auto video editing system that integrates with Adobe Premiere Pro. However, I have encountered significant limitations due to the way Premiere exports and represents project data (XML/JSON or other forms).Specifically:The exported XML does not fully capture complex effects applied through third-party plugins or native tools.It is not possible to accurately detect where speed ramps, transitions, and keyframe-based effects are applied on specific clips and time ranges.Many effect parameters remain hidden or inaccessible, which makes it very difficult for developers to build intelligent tools that interact with Premiere timelines in a meaningful way.I kindly request that Adobe consider: 1. Providing a richer metadata export format (e.g., JSON with full effect details and time ranges).  2. Documenting and exposing all effect parameters and clip-level transformations, including speed ramps, third-party plugin metadata, and transitions. 3.Opening a more developer-friendly API/SDK that allows AI-driven applications to analyze and manipulate project data without guesswork or reverse engineering. This would not only empower AI-based editing workflows but also expand Premiere Pro’s ecosystem, enabling developers to create next-generation automation and creative tools around Adobe products.Thank you for your time and consideration. I believe opening these capabilities would strongly benefit both the developer community and Premiere Pro users.Best regards,

Workflow Automation Tool for Premiere Pro - similar to Photoshop's Record/PlayOpen for Voting

As a video editor who relies on automation to speed up my workflow, I'm requesting a feature that enables recording and replaying a sequence of actions, similar to "Actions" in Adobe Photoshop. While effect presets and copying attributes are useful for single clips, a macro-style recording tool would be far more efficient for complex, multi-step operations.Problem: Many repetitive editing tasks involve more than just applying effects. For example, a motion graphic might require creating new tracks, moving keyframes, adjusting positions, and applying multiple non-preset-friendly actions. Applying these manually to dozens of clips is a massive time sink.A perfect example of this is the common workflow for adapting vertical (phone) video material for inclusion in a horizontal (broadcast or web) video clip:Import the vertical clip.Duplicate it and place one clip directly above the other on the timeline.Select the top clip and scale it down to fit within the horizontal frame.Crop the top clip as needed.Select the bottom clip and scale it up to fill the entire horizontal frame.Apply a fast blur to the bottom clip to create a blurry, parallax background.Select both clips and nest them into a new sequence.Currently, replicating this sequence requires navigating multiple menus and panels for each individual clip, which is highly inefficient and prone to human error when adjusting settings.Proposed solution: Implement an "Actions" panel similar to Photoshop's, where users can:Record: Press a "Record" button and perform a series of edits.Stop: End the recording and save the sequence of actions as a named macro.Replay: Run the saved macro on any selected clip or sequence.This would allow editors to automate multi-layered and multi-panel operations that go beyond simple effect presets.Why this would help:Massive time-saver: Automates complex, repetitive tasks like the vertical-to-horizontal conversion that are currently very manual.Increased consistency: Ensures every clip receives the exact same set of changes, eliminating human error.Empowers users: Opens up a new level of customization and automation for professional editors with complex workflows.Thank you for considering this request. An action-recording feature would be a game-changer for many of us.

Improvements for Transcript Window in Premiere ProOpen for Voting

I have a few questions about advanced usage of the transcript window - I use transcripts as an essential part of my work flow for unscripted documentary work; but I find the transcript window to be a bit flaky & unreliable at times, but I can see the potential for how this could be a much more valuable tool for me (and other non-scripted format editors) if there were a few tweaks to the functionality.A big user request from me would be greater flow through & adjustability of transcripts while editing (I edit using multicam clips to group dual record material, and I find that I have to match frame back though a couple of layers of material (edit sequence to multicam clip to source clip) to adjust who's speaking and split transcripted comments). Perhaps there is better functionality that I don't know about.Also, I'd like to be able to teach the AI language model how to pronounce some words, as I find that with both technical jargon and accents (coming from a Land Down Under…), there is often the same repeated mis-transcription of the same wordsAnd finally, I've found that when the transcript window does become upset and not behaving as expected (EG - not allowing transcript corrections or recording them), resetting my preferences for Premiere Pro is good at fixing this; but the transcript window does seem to go a bit weird much more often than almost any other window (with the exception of the marker window, which often fails to show markers)Tech specs MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)Apple M1 Max64gb ramMac OSX 15.6.1Premiere Pro 25.5.1
