What's New in Premiere Pro 23.2 (February 2023)

Premiere Pro 23.2 came out in February 2023 with automatic tone mapping, so log, HDR and iPhone footage looks right in a normal sequence.

Automatic tone mapping

Mix footage from different cameras, from log clips to iPhone HLG and other HDR formats, in a standard Rec. 709 sequence. Premiere converts the wide color range so everything looks consistent, and your highlights don't clip. No LUTs or custom color settings needed.

It works with iPhone HLG, log footage like Sony S-Log, Canon Log and Panasonic Log, and other HDR formats. It's on by default. You can turn it off or on in Sequence Settings.

Reset options at launch

Hold any modifier key while Premiere starts: Cmd, Option or Shift on macOS, Ctrl, Alt or Shift on Windows. A dialog lets you reset preferences, clear the media cache, reset the plugin loading cache or skip third-party plugins once. It's the quickest first step when Premiere misbehaves, and good housekeeping before you update.

Also in this update

  • New transcription languages. Speech to Text now works in Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish.
  • Offline editing in Team Projects. Without internet, Premiere saves your sequence changes locally. Click Publish when you're back online. If two people edited the same sequence, the second can publish theirs as a new sequence.
  • Fixes Adobe called out. H.264 and HEVC exports no longer fail when the export folder name has characters like accents, umlauts, or Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters. Timeline interactions also stay responsive over long sessions.

FAQ

Why do my log clips look different after updating to 23.2?

Automatic tone mapping is on by default from 23.2. If you'd rather grade from the flat log image, turn it off in Sequence Settings.

How do I reset Premiere Pro preferences in 23.2?

Hold a modifier key, like Shift, while Premiere starts, then tick the reset options you want in the dialog.
