Mask-only Fill for text and shapes

You could already use text or a shape as a mask in the Essential Graphics panel, but the mask also cut into strokes and shadows. Mask-only Fill applies the mask only to the fill of a layer, so you can add strokes and shadows separately from the masked area. It's handy for putting a texture or an image inside big letters.

Right-click to edit titles

Right-click a title in the Program Monitor and choose Edit Properties to open the Essential Graphics panel with that layer ready to change. Fonts, colors and styles are one click away.

Export titles as text files

The Text panel can now export all the titles in your sequence as text files. Send them to a client or a proofreader, and fix everything in one go with search and replace.

Adjustable fades for Auto Ducking

A new Fade Position slider sets how soon the background audio fades out before dialogue and back in after it. Use it together with Fade Duration to shape how the music dips under speech.

Also in this update

  • More GPU effects. Unsharp Mask and Posterize Time are now GPU accelerated.
  • Initializing GPU dialog. After a fresh install or driver update, a progress bar shows that Premiere is setting up your GPU, so you know why playback isn't ready yet.

Adobe followed up in September 2022 with 22.6.2, focused on stability.
