New Import mode

New projects no longer start with a settings window. Import mode shows your media instead. Pick clips and folders, they collect in a tray at the bottom, and Create puts them in a new sequence, ready to edit.

You can favorite the places you use most, scrub thumbnails by hovering, make bins, and copy camera cards with MD5 checksum verification while you start editing. If you prefer the old way, create an empty project and use File > Import or the Project panel.

New Export mode and a header bar

A new header bar puts Import, Edit and Export tabs at the top, with your workspaces in a menu on the right. Export mode lets you switch on several destinations, like a file on your drive, social platforms and FTP sites, and suggests settings for each. Click Export and Premiere renders every file and can post them for you, privately first if you want a review.

The new Preset Manager saves your favorite export settings, and it works in Quick Export too.

Auto Color

Auto Color uses Adobe Sensei to make a first color correction. Put the playhead in a clip and click Auto in the Lumetri Color panel. The changes show up in the Basic Correction sliders, and a new Intensity slider sets how strong they are. It works on log footage and clips with a LUT too. In the beta it was called Auto Tone.

Frame.io review in Premiere

Frame.io for Creative Cloud is now included with Premiere Pro. Open the Review workspace, sign in with your Adobe ID and share your work. Reviewers comment in a browser or the Frame.io app, and their notes appear in your timeline. Camera to Cloud, also included, sends files from the set straight to the cloud so editing can start during the shoot.
