Premiere (Beta)

Hey everyone! A new quality of life feature just landed in Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39: color labels for timeline track headers. If you've ever wanted an at-a-glance way to tell your tracks apart on a busy timeline, this is for you.What's New?You can now assign a color label directly to any track header, video, audio, or caption track. It works just like clip labels: pick from any of your project's 16 label colors and apply it to the track itself. This colors just the track header, not the clips sitting on that track, so your timeline stays readable without re-labeling everything on it. Where to find itRight-click any timeline track header and choose a color label from your project's label colors. Click the swatch to toggle it off if you want the track back to no color, and click again to reapply a color. Track Header right-clic menuClick the swatch to toggle it off Why this mattersOn a timeline with a lot of tracks, it's easy to lose track of which is which, especially once you're jug

We added the ability to swap sequence dimensions in one click so you can quickly change a horizontal sequence to a vertical.  It’s soooo simple and soooo obvious we just did it.  Sometimes it’s the small things!                                               Changing a 16:9 sequence to be 9:16 for posting on the socials is a pretty common thing, it turns out, and manually typing in 1080 x 1920 (or whatever the resolution is) is slow and prone to error and it just feels like there should be a better way.  So, we added a simple button to swap the vertical and horizontal resolutions.  That’s all it does.  It doesn’t run auto-reframe or reposition your content.  It just changes the sequence dimensions.  Make sure your sequence is in focus or selected in the project panel, then go to Sequence > Sequence settings. This idea was brought to our attention by @davethegreko. Thanks Dave!

(Adobe’s video applications already support the other X-OCN variants: XT, ST, and LT.)Other things to be aware of:Rec. 709 has been removed from Source Settings > Color Space. In the current, shipping version of Premiere, there is an option in X-OCN Source Settings to convert X-OCN footage to Rec. 709. Using this opti

I am experiencing an audio plug-in scanning issue in Premiere Beta on my MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon (M1 Pro) and macOS Tahoe 26.6.2.The Audio Plug-In Manager remains completely empty after scanning. It does not detect any VST, VST3, or Audio Unit plug-ins. This affects Supertone/Antinode Clear, but the problem is not limited to that plug-in.The same plug-ins work correctly in the regular release version of Premiere 2026 on the same Mac.The problem occurs in both Premiere Beta 26.5 and 27.0. Clear and my other audio plug-ins worked in Premiere Beta before I uninstalled the application and selected “Remove” for its preferences and plug-in settings. After reinstalling Premiere Beta, it could no longer rebuild the audio plug-in database.I have already tried: A clean uninstall and reinstall of Premiere Beta 27.0 Resetting application preferences and the plug-in loading cache Selecting “Rescan existing plug-ins” Manually adding /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 Granting Premiere Beta

I’ve matched my cam C to A and B.Now I need to save what I’ve done as a preset so that I can send it to an editor to apply to all of his CamC footage. Save preset is greyed out in effects control view and is not available at all on the actual clip adjustments. I’ve right clicked color effect, clip and adjustment. Doesn’t work for any.Anyone actually liking this new color mode? it’s driving me insane. I have so many issues at this point.  

I’ve been testing out the new colour tool on prem beta which is working really well. The only annoying thing I’ve started coming up against is, whilst editing the timeline, I will be working on one clip and then when i select the next clip to edit and drag the cursor to that place on the timeline, the timeline at the bottom resets and selects the first clip in my timeline. It still leaves the clip I wanted on the program screen, but if I were to continue colour grading then I would be doing it to the first clip, not my desired clip.How can I almost unlinked the timeline during the color grading process?

Hi everyone! As a dialogue editor, I've always chased the same thing: the tool that gets me the best-sounding result in the least amount of time, and the most control over my dialogue, whether I recorded it myself or it came back from set in whatever shape it happened to be in.For years, the answer meant reaching for a few different tools. One to make the voice sound better, another to wrestle down the background noise. And production audio is never just "speech." There's ambience, there's music, there are effects, all baked into the same recording, and that's exactly what makes cleaning it up so hard.This is where Enhance Audio comes to shine. In the same spirit as what we showed at MAX Sneaks last year, it hands you control over the ambience, the music, the sound effects, and the dialogue, and lets you rebalance every stem as much as you need. That's what makes it one of the most powerful noise reduction tools in Premiere today.For a couple of years now, the one thing you've told us

Hello Everyone.I’ve been using Premiere Pro’s Lumetri Color panel for a long time, mainly relying on the Lumerti Color Panel, Color Wheel, Curves, and of course the Lumetri Scopes. Sometimes I also add third‑party tools like Maxon Magic Bullet and FilmConvert Nitrate, and I’ve always gotten great results with that workflow.Recently, I tried the new Color Mode, but so far I still prefer the traditional Lumetri Color panel. That might just be because I’m not fully used to the new interface yet. I’m wondering whether, in the future, Adobe will allow us to switch back and forth between the original Lumetri panel and the new Color Mode, or if we’ll eventually be locked into the new system.Thanks.

Hey everyone! We're excited to share a new dialogue tool that just landed in Premiere Beta 27.0 Build 39: Audio Leveling. It analyzes a dialogue clip and automatically writes volume keyframes that even out the level, so your dialogue sits at a consistent, balanced loudness without you drawing automation by hand.What's New?Audio Leveling listens to your dialogue clip and rides the volume keyframes for you. It detects where the level jumps too hot or drops too low, then lays down clip volume keyframes that attenuate the loud spots and lift the quiet ones toward a steady target. Instead of one static volume adjustment for the whole clip, you get moment-to-moment level balancing that follows the performance. And because the result is real keyframes on your clip, nothing is locked in. You can nudge, reshape, or remove any of them just like keyframes you drew yourself. Where to find itSelect a dialogue clip and you'll find Audio Leveling inside the Loudness module of the Essential Sound pane

The new color mode is great.  I can’t wait any longer. Who will be or is the 1st?
