Yep just tried that, ive tried this before in the past, I even went so far as to erase it all together export the image as a new image and then reimport it, it refused to generate the most basic things.

I am experiencing significant frustration with Adobe Photoshop’s inability to process my generative fill requests without providing a valid reason. This limitation hinders my ability to utilize my images for creative purposes, as I am unable to overlay objects onto the subject. It is evident that my requests are creative and do not violate the policies. The issue has persisted for an extended period, with no updates addressing it. Consequently, Photoshop’s functionality has deteriorated significantly, impacting my workflow and creativity.

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

Thank you for the Plugin info. But still this should be a native feature to Premeire Pro. We shouldn't have to search the internet for third party plugins that come with their own glitches and make PPRo more unbearable. And spend more money out of pocket. Some things I can understand being a plugin, but this, Nooo.

I was indeed reffering to Effects/Presets needing previews, so as to not have to drag-drop-and delete from timeline until I find what I am looking for. I mean, even video edting apps from app store are able to load heavy effects with a default media preview for each, why can't an expensive software like premiere do the same if not better?

However my idea for there to be previews of my effects/presets would still be very intuitive in my opinion. Is there any explanation as to why there are no previews when working with presests or effects in the effects panel?

Yes you are correct indeed, my bad, I litteraly realized this a little later that day. Thank you for checking. Hi Michael! I can only assume that the templates you are referring to from Motion Array are in fact effect plugins. As long as the templates are .mogrt files you can use them with the Essential Graphics panel.

I cannot install a previous version without it saying it will unistall my most recent version, I can only install PPro 2022, but I need 2023 because it is updated and fixed so many other problems, 23.6 is my most recent version I am currently using, going back to an orginal version would not be suitable in my scenario. Can you specify which version you noticed this error that I had?

Once a clip has been Auto-Reframed if it is moved from the PPRo timeline into an AE Comp, then immediately after being imported to After Effects all Auto-Reframe motion effects are null inside of Premiere-Pro, and After Effects displays the original horizontal clip, and even after Rendering and Replacing the clip the Auto-Reframe does not reestablish. I was working with a social media prepared timeline, my original footage was horizontal. If I am doing something incorrect please provide some insight, as the only way at the moment is to export each clip that I need in AE, then re-add it to my timeline then reaply the Auto-Reframe motion controls, but this is not timely and would require me to make too many steps upon needing to change something.

Community User "tinkthank av berlin" posted about the exact same bug that I had noticed recently in PPRO, when tracking masks on a clip in the timeline. See post "PP 23.5 Bug / Unable to track mask if clips are overlaying" apparently when tracking masks if there are adjustment layers, assets, or other videos on separate tracks above and overlapping the clip you are currently tracking a mask on, it will come to a halt and simply stop tracking, I went over this predicament in my mind until I thought it was possible what could be causing the disturbance in its progress, as it seems when the timline playhead moves forward or backward along a clip during tracking, when the playhead reaches an overlapping track in either direction it stops, and currently the only work around is to hide those tracks when working on this. As noted by the previous user this issue is persistent when using the "Gaussian blur" effect and tracking it on the underlying clip of v2 and v3, although I doubt this is a singular event. Please investigate this issue. Best Regards, Michael Cervinka

I had this exact same issue, and was just about to post about this. I was searching for the words to explain it. You have explained it identical to my scenario. I will be making a Bug post about this as well. Thank you

Hopefully with the release of FireFly in PPro these AI features will make an appearance, Adobe Photoshop has logged a lot of data training on selecting subjects over the years, so I am not sure yet as to why Adobe has not attempted to implement such features in the video realm of editing, I so often find myself wanting to adjust skin tones, but find it incredibly difficult at times to find the perfect balance between selecting the skin tones and not selecting other elements in the scene that lay on the similar color scope as the skin. Other issues present themselves when I want to creatively enhance lets say the blues in the sky to a higher luminance, but the subjects eyes are noticeably the same or say a green plant I want to be more vivid, but the eyes become overly vivid as well when adjusting the luminance of the plants because the HSL selection tool is only so so accurate, these are generic examples I know my point is, having the ability of facial features detection so I can easily tell Premiere Pro to automatically omit a visual portion of a clip from an adjustment layer I made for something specific would be very intuitive. Creating masks manually is one approach but only reliable if the shot is static, if it is a moving clip creating masks would be impractical in this scenario. Best Regards, Michael Cervinka

It has become a cumbersome process when importing any effect into my project as there is no streamline way of dedicating a specific folder to the selected effects prior to importing or after proceeding to import, there is only one "import presets" dialog box that prompts a new Finder/Explorer window for me to locate the effects and/or presets then import, after that it decides where it wants to place New selected imported effects. It can be most often random in this process, requiring me to search out the effect by either digging through all the collapsible tabs or going to my finder to find the exact name of the preset or effect and type that into the effects panel search box to the "T" before I can locate it in my effects panel. If there was a live preview before importing commences that prompts me to make a new dedicated folder or choose an existing one that I know of off-hand that would be far more helpful. Secondly, if there was a "preview-effects" feature allowing me to quickly browse through my options prior to adding to my projects timline, so as to remove the current step of drag-drop-and-delete many times when I am deciding which effect or presets to use. LUTs already have a similar feature present such as this in the Creative Tab of Lumetri. Having said feature for the effects panel would be a massive time-saver. Additionally, if the effects panel would automatically locate and highlight location after importing a NEW preset or effect that would be much more user friendly, so I do not have to dig out where it is in all the collapsed sections. An alternative option in addition to my previous thoughts would be to design a drag-and-drop approach when importing new effects or presets, not everyone is fond of drag and drop features so my first ideas still stand, but this would be very helpful for editors who don't want to fumble with window prompts.

It would be very usefull and intuitive if I could import a folder of Third Pary templates such as text overlays in this window for easy access, rather than having to search enlessly for it in my effects, in general I should be able to import templates in a dedicated spot with previews for each, enabling this for Third Party templates from Motion Array for instance would be really intuitive. I only see that it looks available with Adobe Stock templates.

I have noticed that upon using masks that there are many behavioral issues when working with masks, for instance, when creating a mask, in order to move it you must hover your mouse over the center of the mask in order to drag it around, when creating masks with complex shapes it can be difficult to find the dedicated center in order to move it around. Furthermore, there is an inherent bug when zooming in to the monitor to adjust the clip that the masks bound box in the center becomes so small it is increasingly difficult to adjust the mask by hovering over the center of the mask as the center has become invisible to the mouse. It would be much more efficient if there was a dedicated hand tool for masks, currently moving masks around in the monitor is troublesome and often creates more points when attempting to move it along. This is especially important when key-framing masks. Please investigate these UI bugs.

Hi Adobe is your team considering a more smart and eficient way to remove blemishes with AI in video. apps on the app store are clunky and outratoeously expensive but make editors look BAD when the everday consumer quickly beautifies there face, the iphone may not have the quality of a profressional camera, but it sure [cursing removed] makes them look gorgeous. Us editors have to make 5, 10, 15 different masks, track them and then do guess and check work to remove them in AE or Premiere Pro. Its an insane waste of time in todays world. please include some better video features.
