Learn about best practices for updating Premiere Pro.

Generative Extend

The Generative Extend tool, powered by Adobe Firefly, lets editors add those extra few frames to tell their story their way. Just click and drag to seamlessly add a few more frames to the beginning or end of a video or audio clip – to hold on to a character reaction for an extra beat, create a smoother transition, extend background sounds, or hide an unwanted camera movement. Learn more as you begin your generative AI journey in Premiere Pro.

Media intelligence and Search panel

Search for your perfect shot using everyday language based on imagery, spoken words, or content with embedded metadata like shoot date, location, or camera type, all at the same time. 

Media intelligence visual search works by analyzing your footage using on-device models, and when you search for visuals, the description you type is analyzed and compared to your footage to find the best matches. 

Learn more about using AI-powered media intelligence and the new Search panel to locate your ideal shot quickly.

Translate captions

Now automatically translate captions generated in Premiere Pro or imported via caption sidecar files (like .srt) to improve the accessibility and reach of your content.

You can quickly translate captions using Speech to Text and customize them as needed to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Improved color management

Color management in Premiere Pro has been radically improved, making it easier to use wide-gamut camera raw and log-encoded media, simpler to output to multiple formats, and faster to achieve great color.

This new color management system supports RAW and log formats from nearly every camera. It automatically transforms your raw and log media to the color space of your choice with high-fidelity tone mapping, enabling higher-quality image processing, improved video monitoring, and better sequence export.

New color management in Premiere Pro also allows users to use a wide gamut working color space in three of our new color management "wide gamut" presets for even better-looking results.

Added support for import of MKV (H.264/AAC) files

Completely rewritten support for MKV (H.264/AAC) files to improve compatibility and performance, allowing for seamless playback and editing of MKV files in Premiere Pro.

Add Content Credentials into exported video files

Content Credentials allow creators to attach extra information to their content when they export or download it. By including this information, creators can receive more recognition for their work, connect with others online, and enhance transparency for their audience. To learn more about Content Credentials and why you should consider including them with your work, read the Content Credentials overview.

Dynamic audio waveforms

Audio waveforms reflect the adjustments to volume on clips in Premiere Pro. Enabled by default, they can be toggled on and off by selecting View > Dynamic Audio Waveforms.

Hardware acceleration for Canon Cinema RAW Light

Hardware acceleration of the Canon Cinema RAW Light format is now available in Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Adobe Media Encoder for Apple silicon computers. It will significantly improve editing and transcoding performance when using Cinema RAW Light files with smooth playback on the timeline and 10x faster export performance.

New and updated sample media

The new sample media, a collection of video clips pre-loaded with Premiere Pro, has been added and updated. 

You can now find these new sample media in the Import mode, streamlining the workflow for video editors. The updated library not only offers fresh content but also enhances the learning experience for new users, who can explore how different clips can be utilized in storytelling and editing techniques.
