Text-Based Editing
Start by transcribing your source clips. Then read and search the transcripts instead of scrubbing through footage, select the lines you want and add them to your sequence.
Premiere also keeps a transcript of your sequence. Cut, copy and paste text there, and the clips on the Timeline move to match. When the rough cut is ready, switch to the trim tools to fine-tune it. It's made for interviews, podcasts and documentaries, and the finished transcript can become your captions.
Adobe first showed Text-Based Editing at NAB in April 2023, and it was in the public beta until this release.
Background Auto Save
Auto Save now runs in the background without interrupting your work, and it can save backups as often as every minute. You get more restore points, and you never sit waiting for a save to finish.
