New Features in Premiere Pro 15.2

 

Text gradients
You can now add visual impact to titles and text with new tools in the Essential Graphics panel for adding gradients.. More info about text gradients here.

 

Label colors for captions

Caption items in the Captions track now have the same label color options as other items on the timeline.

Info about this feature is here.


Improved caption trimming

Edit video files containing embedded captions more intuitively. Caption items are linked to their associated video and audio clips, making it easier to fine-tune edits and keep everything in sync on the Timeline. More info here.

 

New Loudness Meter
The new Loudness Meter transparently measures program loudness for full mixes, single tracks, or buses and submixes. More info here.

Support for DirectX12 display technology on Windows
DirectX now replaces OpenGL as the default display rendering technology for Premiere Pro, providing improved stability. DirectX also supports native High Dynamic Range (HDR) playback for Premiere Pro with HDR10-capable monitors and a DirectX-compatible GPU. More info here.

 


Canon XF HEVC performance improvements
Performance optimizations in Premiere Pro mean smoother playback and scrubbing on the timeline, as well as faster seeking. More info here.

Since I'm using versions 15.2 on my laptop I see a shift in color when I toggle between my proxies on or off. When I use version 15.1 I don't have that problem. The result is a washed out export. I tried this with several of my projects and all of them show the same behaviour. The footage is all shot with the Canon R5, HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2.

My system:

Intel (R) i7-8550U CPU, 1,80 GHz, 1992 MHz, 4 core('s), 8 logical processors
Intel (R) UHD Grahpics 620 GPU
Memory (RAM): 20 GB

Both audio and video on my timeline doesn't snap together anymore since this update. I have the magnet icon on while trying this and it still wont snap like it use to. Mac OS Mojave Version 10.14.6 as well as Windows10 OS version 21H1. Premiere on both computers up to date as of June 1, 2021. Screencap is from Mac. It can line up on a whim, but is very hard to do.

Eli,

This is more of an announcement post, so no one is likely to help you.
Shall I move it to the main forum?

 

Thanks,

Kevin
