Simplify Sequence and better Speech to Text (22.0)
Simplify Sequence makes a clean copy of the current sequence. It can remove gaps, unused tracks, clips you choose, effects and more. That's handy when you share, export or archive a project, because the copy only holds what matters.
Speech to Text got more accurate with pop culture terms in all 13 of its languages, and it formats dates and numbers better. You can also export captions as sidecar files only.
Color management for H.264 and HEVC (22.0)
Premiere Pro 2022 reads the color space of H.264 and HEVC files when you import them, including 10-bit and HDR media from mirrorless cameras and current iPhones, and writes it correctly when you export. So your footage looks the way it was shot.
The Lumetri scopes got a Colorized Vectorscope, and the curves were refined. Playback of 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC is hardware accelerated on Apple silicon Macs and on Windows computers with Intel processors.
Titles you can search and spell check (22.1.1)
The Text panel now has a Graphics tab. It lists every title in your sequence, so you can search them, replace a word in all of them at once, and run a spell check. Click a title in the list to jump straight to it. On a project with hundreds of titles, that saves hours.
- Universal text engine. Mix languages and scripts in one graphic, with full controls for right-to-left scripts.
- New shape tools. Draw polygons, size them precisely and round their corners.
- Better Pen tool. Draw straight lines at 0, 45 and 90 degrees, and add Bezier handles for curves.
- Legacy Title upgrade. When you open a project with Legacy Titles, Premiere offers to turn them into modern graphics.
The title tools kept getting better all year. Version 22.4 added Distribute, 22.5 added gradients for strokes and shadows, and 22.6 added Mask-only Fill, a right-click menu for text and shapes, and export of all titles as text files.
Remix: music that fits your video (22.2)
Remix rearranges a song so it ends where your video ends. Set the length you need, shorter or longer than the original, and Remix, powered by Adobe Sensei, builds a new arrangement in seconds. You control it with sliders in the Essential Sound panel, so it's quick to try a few versions.
Before, you could fade the music out, or cut and crossfade it by hand. Remix does that work for you. In 22.3 it also got a progress indicator, so you can see when it's analyzing a song.
Speech to Text works offline (22.2)
Speech to Text now runs on your own computer with downloadable language packs. You can transcribe without an internet connection, and Adobe says it's up to 3 times faster on Intel Core i9 and Apple M1 computers, and typically 2 times faster on other current processors. English comes installed with Premiere. Version 22.3 added Cantonese, for 14 languages in all.
New Import and Export modes (22.3)
Premiere Pro 22.3 added a header bar with three tabs: Import, Edit and Export. Your workspaces, like Color, Graphics and Audio, sit in a menu on the right.
Import mode starts a project from your media instead of a settings window. Pick clips and folders, they collect in a tray at the bottom, and Create puts them in a new sequence. You can save favorite locations, scrub thumbnails by hovering, and copy camera cards with checksum verification while you start editing.
Export mode lets you switch on several destinations at once, like a file on your drive, social platforms and FTP, and suggests settings for each. You can post privately for review before going live. A new Preset Manager keeps your favorite export settings, also for Quick Export.
Auto Color (22.3)
Auto Color uses Adobe Sensei to make a first color correction for you. Put the playhead in a clip and click Auto, and the result lands in the Basic Correction sliders of the Lumetri Color panel. Use the new Intensity slider to dial it back, or fine-tune any slider. It also works on log footage and footage with a LUT.
Frame.io review built in (22.3)
Frame.io for Creative Cloud is included with Premiere Pro. Open the Review workspace, sign in with your Adobe ID and share a link to your work. Reviewers comment and draw on the video in a browser or the Frame.io app, and their notes show up in your timeline at the right time.
It comes with 100 GB of Frame.io storage for up to five active projects, shared with one other team member, plus Camera to Cloud, which sends files from the set to the cloud while the shoot is still going.
Workspaces, proxies and pasting (22.4 and 22.5)
- Essentials and Vertical Video workspaces (22.5). One shows only the panels you need for basic editing, the other is laid out for vertical video.
- Proxy badges and watermarks (22.5). Badges in the Project panel and timeline show when proxies are on, and an optional burn-in watermark marks proxy footage.
- HDR proxies (22.4). Smaller copies of HDR media in the correct color space.
- Paste to same track (22.5). Four new shortcuts paste clips to the track they came from, or to the targeted track.
Faster exports and playback
