Complete List of New Features in Adobe Premiere Pro 23.1

Editing and Workflow

The newly updated version of Premiere Pro presents enhanced creative and organization features to help you work faster and more efficiently throughout the application.

From collaborative editing improvements in Team Projects to improving masking behaviors, the latest version is faster, more fluid, and customizable, enhancing collaboration from pre- to post-production. Let's take a closer look at those new features.

Upgrade Captions to Graphics

Elevate your on-screen text by converting captions to graphics for greater creative control. Create stylized, animated graphics from captions with Speech to Text in Premiere Pro. This was a big feature request on forums from users like you.

Premiere Pro offers many tools for formatting and stylizing captions. For even more creative options, you can now convert captions into graphics. Once done, you can apply effects and transitions to animate the words on the screen. Use keyframing to adjust the timing of effects or transitions for precise control of the results.

Upgraded captions can still be edited as text, directly in the Program Monitor or in the Text panel.

You can export the result, including all of the graphics.

Tip: If the function is disabled, ensure that the caption is selected in the Timeline before going to the Graphics and Titles menu.

That seemingly small masking update would have saved me so much time and hassle over the years. THANK YOU for putting that in.
