Feature Request: Script-Driven Take Navigation Workflow (ScriptSync Equivalent for Premiere Pro)Open for Voting

Hello Adobe team and community,I'm a professional film editor working primarily on narrative feature films and episodic drama. I rely on Premiere Pro as my primary NLE and use Productions extensively for multi-episode collaboration. However, there is a critical workflow gap in Premiere Pro for scripted narrative editing that I'd like to formally request as a feature.The Gap Between Premiere's Current Transcription and What Scripted Drama Editors NeedPremiere Pro's built-in transcription and Text-Based Editing are genuinely impressive features — especially for documentary, interview, and unscripted content. They allow editors to search spoken words across media, delete transcript text to drive timeline edits, and work efficiently with unscripted material.But for scripted narrative film and television, there is a fundamental workflow difference that Premiere's current transcription cannot address.The Core Workflow I'm Requesting: Script-Driven Take NavigationIn scripted drama editing, the mental model is this:"Scene 12, Character A says 'I don't regret it' — we shot nine takes of this line today. Which take has the best performance?"Avid's ScriptSync solves this with a specific workflow:Import the production script into the software AI automatically aligns the transcribed dialogue from every take to the corresponding script lines The script interface displays all available takes alongside each line of dialogue The editor clicks any take directly from the script view — the Source Monitor jumps to the exact timecode where that line is spoken in that take Takes can be quickly compared and sent directly to the timeline from the script interfaceThe fundamental difference from Premiere's existing transcription:Premiere's current approach is media-driven — you start with clips, then search what was said inside them What scripted drama editors need is script-driven — you start with the script, and every take is organized in relation to the script's structureThe direction of navigation is reversed. One asks "what did this clip say?" The other asks "which clips contain this scripted line?"Specific Feature RequestI'd like to propose the following workflow additions to Premiere Pro:1. Script Import Support for importing production scripts in .fdx (Final Draft), .pdf, and .fountain formats.2. Automatic Script-to-Media Alignment AI-powered alignment that matches transcribed dialogue from all media pool clips against the imported script, line by line, and tags each clip segment with its corresponding script position.3. Script Navigation Panel A dedicated Script View (either within the Media Panel or as a standalone panel) where each line of dialogue displays all matching takes alongside it — showing camera identifier, take number, and duration.4. Single-Click Take Access Clicking any take in the Script View should load that clip in the Source Monitor, jumping directly to the timecode where the corresponding scripted line begins — no manual scrubbing required.5. Direct Timeline Insert Takes selected from the Script View should be insertable into the timeline using existing keyboard shortcuts (e.g., F9/F10 insert/overwrite), maintaining workflow consistency.Why This Matters for Narrative EditorsOn a typical 100-minute feature film, an editor deals with hundreds of scenes and potentially thousands of takes. During assembly and fine cut, the editor's mental frame of reference is always the script — not the media pool structure.Script-driven navigation keeps the editor in a narrative mindset: "What does this scene need?" rather than "Where did I file this clip?"The efficiency gains are significant. Instead of:Opening a bin → finding the right day's folder → scrolling through takes → scrubbing to find the line → loading in source → marking in/out → insertingThe script-driven workflow becomes:Find the line in the script → see all takes listed → click the best one → insertFor a 100+ day shoot with 8 cameras, the time savings across an entire feature are substantial.Relationship to Existing FeaturesI want to be clear that this request is not a criticism of Premiere's transcription tools — they are best-in-class for unscripted content. This request is specifically about adding a script-anchored layer on top of transcription that serves the narrative editing workflow.Productions is the reason I stay in the Premiere ecosystem for long-form work. Script-driven take navigation would make Premiere the complete solution for scripted drama, removing the last significant workflow reason to consider other NLEs for this use case.I hope this resonates with other narrative editors in the community. If you work in scripted drama and have felt this gap, please add your voice below.Thank you for considering this request.

The policy guidelines allow normal words such as "Gay" in the prompt without stoping the generationOpen for Voting

Please allow neutral identity-related words, such as “gay”, to be used in prompts without automatically blocking or stopping image generation.The moderation system should consider the full context of a prompt rather than treating certain identity-related words as inherently sexual, explicit, or unsafe. For example, prompts describing a gay couple, gay characters, LGBTQ+ history, Pride events, or inclusive branding should be allowed when the requested content complies with the platform’s policies.I experienced this problem while using the Boards feature to create a logo for my project, The Gayest Tarot Ever. I attempted to use the available logo presets to generate and explore different logo iterations, but the generation was stopped because the project name contained the word “Gayest”.The request was solely for graphic design and branding. It did not contain sexual, explicit, harmful, or otherwise restricted content. However, I was unable to use the logo iteration presets as intended because the moderation system appeared to interpret the project name as a policy violation.This creates unnecessary restrictions for users producing legitimate LGBTQ+ creative work, inclusive branding, educational materials, cultural projects, art, and commercial designs.The system should distinguish between: Neutral references to identity or sexual orientation LGBTQ+ project names, titles, brands, and organisations Romantic or everyday scenes involving LGBTQ+ people Explicit sexual content that may genuinely require moderation Words such as “gay” should not independently trigger a block. Moderation should evaluate the complete prompt, the requested output, and the actual context.Improving this distinction would make the moderation system more accurate, inclusive, and consistent while continuing to enforce the existing safety guidelines.

Enable Firefly to follow instructions that change where 2D artwork subjects are facing/gazing.Released

Maybe I am just new to using generative text-to-image tools. Still, It turns out that getting Firefly (or DALL-E, and several others I tried) to pay attention to and follow instructions that specify or adjust the direction in which a 2D artwork subject is oriented/is facing/is gazing. This may be easier to accomplish with photography subjects, with better face detection in photos. Not so for cartoon bunnies staring dramatically in the wrong direction. It was particularly difficult (as in tens of hours of trial and error) to get Firefly to reposition a small, AI-generated drawing of a bunny (attached) with a yaw of about 45 degrees (45 degrees counterclockwise away from the viewer) to face in any other direction.  Even more frustrating,  bunny's position was such that his left eye was completely obscured due to the shape and position of his head, and it took hours of trial and error--and frustrated attempts at using puppet warp, liquefy, free transform, etc.--for Firefly to draw even one remotely similar bunny with two visible eyes when the original was used as a style or composition reference.I'm curious to see if I can use the new text-to-video feature to get stills of videos where my 2D subjects do nothing but turn from one side to another, but that seems awfully impractical (not to mention costly). If Firefly were to get this working, it would be incredibly valuable to me.  -JasonSan Francisco, CA
