1. Remix
Every editor knows the problem: the song is three minutes long and the video is one. Remix, added in version 22.2, rearranges the song so it ends where your video ends, shorter or longer than the original.
It uses Adobe Sensei to analyze the song and build a new arrangement in seconds. Change the length with sliders in the Essential Sound panel and listen to a few versions before you pick one.
2. The new Import and Export
Version 22.3 added a header bar with Import, Edit and Export tabs. Import mode starts a project from your media: pick clips and folders, and Create puts them in a new sequence. You can copy camera cards with checksum verification while you already edit.
Export mode sends one edit to several places at once, like a file on your drive, social platforms and FTP, with suggested settings for each. It's good for anyone who posts the same video in many places.
3. Auto Color
Auto Color, new in 22.3, makes a first color correction from one click in the Lumetri Color panel. The result shows up in the Basic Correction sliders, and a new Intensity slider tones it down.
It's a quick starting point before you work on skin tones or skies, and it works on log footage and clips with a LUT. If you're new to color, it also shows you which sliders do what.
4. Search and spell check for every title
Since version 22.1.1, the Graphics tab of the Text panel lists every title in your sequence. Search them, replace a word in all of them at once, or run a spell check. A misspelled name in forty lower thirds now takes seconds to fix.
5. Speech to Text that works offline
In 22.2, Speech to Text moved onto your computer with downloadable language packs. You can make transcripts and captions without an internet connection, and Adobe says it's up to 3 times faster on Intel Core i9 and Apple M1 computers. Version 22.3 added Cantonese, for 14 languages.
6. Frame.io review inside Premiere
Version 22.3 built Frame.io for Creative Cloud into Premiere Pro, at no extra cost. Share a link from the Review workspace, and your client's comments and drawings show up in your timeline at the right frame. No more feedback by email with timecodes typed by hand.
7. Proxy badges and watermarks
Version 22.5 shows a badge in the Project panel and timeline when proxies are on, and can burn a watermark into proxy footage. You always know whether you're looking at the real media, which matters when you judge focus or color. Version 22.4 also added HDR proxies, which keep the right color space.
