More specific results in project panel/bin search using boolean operatorsOpen for Voting

I've just spent several hours on a project discerning footage between A-Roll and B-Roll, placing that into the "Comments" column in my project panel.  My intention was that once I was done, I could go into any of my many scene bins and type A-Roll into search, and find all the A-Roll for that scene.  Alas, this didn't work.  The way search currently works is that is matches ANY of the characters you put into the search bar.  So, typing in A-Roll will show you all of your A-Roll...but all of the B-Roll as well, because -Roll matches.  Yes, I'm aware you can make search bins that are a bit more specific, but those target the entire project, not a bin with a specific scene, like I need. This could easily be solved if the search bar used standard boolean operators that search engines like Google use.  That way, typing in "A-Roll" in quotes would only produce results that contain that full word, with those characters in that order.  It would be a nice addition if you could use operators like AND / OR, so perhaps you could do searches like "A-Roll" AND "Close-Up", showing you the close ups from your A-Roll, or something like "B-Roll" OR "A-Roll" AND "Long Shot", showing you all your long shots. This would be an extremely helpful feature, I hope it can be implemented!  Thanks. EDIT: Oh geez, I accidentally made this a discussion instead of a feature request.  Could an Admin move it?  I can't seem to find a way to delete.  Thanks.

Open Nested Sequences Inline in Timeline (Like Avid Media Composer)Open for Voting

Product: Adobe Premiere ProCategory: Timeline / Editing WorkflowDescription:In Avid Media Composer, when working with a collapsed group of video tracks (a nested sequence), it's possible to double-click and open it inline within the same timeline, make edits, and then collapse it again — all without switching to a separate sequence tab.In Premiere Pro, double-clicking a nested sequence opens it in a new timeline tab, which breaks the editing flow and makes quick adjustments more cumbersome.How this would help my workflow:As a video technician working in fast-paced environments, I often nest multiple layers for organization or effects. Being able to open and edit these nests directly in the main timeline would save time, reduce context switching, and make the editing experience more fluid — especially when working on complex sequences with multiple layers.Additionally, staying in the main timeline allows me to hear the full audio context of the edit, not just the audio contained within the nested sequence. This is crucial when syncing, mixing, or adjusting visuals to match audio cues that exist outside the nest.Request:Please consider adding the ability to expand and edit nested sequences inline in the main timeline, without opening a separate tab. This would be a major improvement for editors coming from Avid and for anyone working with layered compositions.

Expand Title Layers Inline in Timeline for Precise Timing ControlOpen for Voting

Product: Adobe Premiere ProCategory: Titles / Graphics / Timeline WorkflowDescription:In the current titling workflow in Premiere Pro (2025), titles created via the Properties panel can contain multiple layers (text, shapes, images). However, when placed in the timeline, the title appears as a single clip, and there is no way to visually manage the timing of individual layers directly within the timeline.How this would help my workflow:Being able to double-click a title clip in the timeline to expand it inline, revealing all its individual layers as separate tracks (similar to a nested sequence or multicam clip), would allow for precise control over layer timing, appearances, and transitions.This would be especially useful for:Animating the opacity or position of each layer with keyframes.Staggering the appearance of text elements or shapes.Syncing title elements with audio or visual cues in the main timeline.Currently, working in the Effect Controls panel is limiting and unintuitive for complex titles. Having a visual timeline for each layer — without needing to go to After Effects — would greatly improve efficiency and creative flexibility.Request:Please consider adding the ability to expand title clips inline in the timeline, showing each layer as a separate track with its own timing and keyframes. This would make Premiere Pro’s titling workflow more powerful and intuitive, especially for editors working on dynamic, multi-layered graphics.

P: Better frequency tools to reduce the harsh "artificial look" from digital photosOpen for Voting

One of the biggest challenges when editing digital photos is reducing the artificial, overly crisp appearance that’s often associated with the “digital look.” While current frequency-based tools in ACR (texture, clarity and dehaze) are useful, they fall short when trying to soften this digital harshness. Pushing these sliders to the left often produces undesirable artifacts and side effects.   Main limitations with current tools (texture, clarity and dehaze): Color bleeding and smearing: Reducing clarity or dehaze tends to spread colors beyond their natural boundaries, causing them to mix with neighboring tones in an unnatural way. Unwanted darkening: If there is a large area without highlights, what area will become overly dark when reducing dehaze (adding haze). Usually this ends up darkening faces or other relevant parts of the photo. Dark halos and artifacts: When reducing clarity, a noticeable dark halo often appears around dark objects placed against midtone backgrounds, producing an unflattering overprocessed look (the opposite of our goal). Color temperature is massively affected by Dehaze tool.   The proposed idea would be to have a set of similar tools, but:   Brightness-only diffusion: Blur or soften only the brightness (luminance) channel, without affecting color saturation or hue (or maybe reducing saturation but never increasing it). This would avoid the "color smearing" and temperature shift seen in current tools. Plus: A slider to select how much of the color is diffused (apart of the brightness). Asymmetric diffusion direction: Allow brightness to spread from brighter to darker areas, but not the reverse. This is to prevent undesirable dark halos (clarity) and to avoid darkening already dark areas (dehaze). Ideally: Frequency-based curve control: Instead of fixed sliders for low, medium, and high frequency ranges (like texture, clarity, and dehaze), provide a customizable frequency-response curve, where: The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (from low to high detail) The vertical axis controls how much diffusion is applied at each frequency   This would give users precise control over how softness is applied across the image, enabling more organic and subtle results, much like the way light behaves in analog film or lenses with natural falloff.   Why this matters: The digital image pipeline has become incredibly sharp and clean, but often too much so. There is growing demand among photographers, retouchers, and visual artists for tools that reintroduce softness and imperfection in a controlled and elegant way. This proposal would fill that gap.   Would love to hear if others also feel limited by the current softening tools, and if this approach resonates with your workflow.
