Auto-ducking of voice tracksOpen for Voting

ProblemMore and more users are editing podcasts, Zoom/Teams events, video interviews done with tools like Riverside etc. in Premiere Pro. Especially after we got Text-based editing, I’ve seen an increase in clients doing this kind of editing in Premiere Pro. One thing they all have in common is that they’d like to auto-mix voices that are on different audio tracks. Say you have two or three audio tracks, and you want to duck the levels on the tracks of those who are not speaking at the moment to avoid spill/bleed/leakage/phase issues, noise, and generally low audio quality. For now, this is mostly a manual task. ExamplesThis is a screenshot of a client’s timeline of an interview with two microphones (track 1 and 2), and as you can see, they’ve done a lot of manual cutting back and forth between the tracks. Manual cutting of interview with two microphones I have tried to trick the Essential Sound panel into auto-ducking one voice against another, calling one of them a music track, but it’s impossible to find a setting that makes it work 100% of the time. Tricking Auto-Ducking into ducking one microphone against the other FR:So my feature request is: I want to select all the voice clips, and make the AI duck them an amount of dB, very much like the auto-ducking we have for music.We need to be able to choose one voice as the winning voice if/when multiple voices compete for our attention. 

P: Change the process to upgrade the catalog so the names before and after upgrade are the sameOpen for Voting

I have a large library (over 300,000 photos) and my Lightroom catalog folder is over 160GB. This is important for me to backup, but the current process changes the name of the catalog and folders. Once changed, my backup process deletes hundreds of thousands of "old" preview files, and then copies those exact same files back to the target. This is unnecessarily complex, time consuming, and tedious--Lightroom can ensure the catalog name is the same when it completes the upgrade process. Consider those (like myself) that are sending this data offsite for backup--the cost savings, time savings, and bandwidth savings make this change necessary.   I am currently performing these steps manually by renaming the catalog file and supporting folders before opening the new Lightroom version, but Lightroom could do that automatically for me without too much extra work.   To help the average user, most of the people I teach Lightroom, or help with their workflow don't even know where their PICTURES are, let alone how to manage their catalog. An automated Adobe solution of renaming the old catalog file for backup would be awesome and simplify the process for the user.   Install the latest version of Lightroom Open the default/last catalog file as usual. Lightroom prompts to confirm upgrade (no naming option needed) in the dialog box. Lightroom names the existing catalog file the -Vxx which matches the catalog old version compatibility level. (catalog-v10.lrcat) Also rename all the supporting folders to match (Helper, Previews, Smart Previews, Sync, etc.).  Lightroom upgrades this -Vxx catalog and names it at the current catalog name. (catalog.lrcat). Upgrade as usual, which updates all the supporting folder names, too.   The backup program would only see files that changed modified date/time, would copy over the catalog and anything new, and would be quick and efficient. The user who has been opening "catalog" all along doesn't change anything--they still open the same (upgraded) file.

Why Premiere Pro Desperately Needs a Native ISO Denoise FeatureOpen for Voting

Why Premiere Pro Desperately Needs a Native ISO Denoise Feature Hey everyone, As a dedicated user of Premiere Pro and a passionate videographer, I've been consistently impressed by the new Ai capabilities Adobe has set forth for their editing software. However, there's one crucial feature that's glaringly missing and becoming increasingly essential for many of us – a native ISO denoise feature.  Here’s why this addition is so important:1. Improved Workflow Efficiency: Currently, if we want to denoise our footage, we often have to rely on third-party plugins or external software like DaVinci Resolve. This not only adds extra steps to our workflow but also consumes additional time and resources. A native denoise feature within Premiere Pro would streamline the editing process, allowing us to stay within one platform and maintain a smoother, more efficient workflow. The third-party plugin situation is particularly absurd. Many of us find ourselves paying for additional plugins like Maxon’s Red Giant, which can cost $79 a month, just to achieve effective denoising. This adds an unnecessary financial burden on top of the existing Adobe subscription fees. 3. Competitive Edge: DaVinci Resolve has set a high standard with its robust noise reduction capabilities among other features. As more editors become aware of these features, they may consider switching platforms to take advantage of the superior denoising tools. By incorporating a native ISO denoise feature, Adobe can ensure that Premiere Pro remains competitive and retains its position as a leading video editing software. 4. User Demand and Feedback: The community has been vocal about the need for better noise reduction tools in Premiere Pro. Listening to user feedback and implementing this feature would not only demonstrate Adobe's commitment to addressing our needs but also foster greater loyalty and satisfaction among its user base. In conclusion, adding a native ISO denoise feature to Premiere Pro is not just a nice-to-have; it’s a necessity that would significantly enhance our editing experience. It would save time, improve video quality, and keep Premiere Pro competitive in the ever-evolving landscape of video editing software. Let's rally together and make our voices heard – it’s time for Adobe to step up and deliver this much-needed feature. What do you all think? Let's discuss and push for this change! Best,Michael
