Single-word captions
If you've been splitting captions by hand to get one word on screen at a time, you can stop. Choose Single Word when you create captions from a transcript, and Premiere times each word to your audio. Style the captions, export them exactly as they look in your preview, and you're ready to post.
Magnify effect
Magnify puts a magnifying lens over one part of your shot. You control the zoom, position, shape, border, shadow and edge softness. It's handy for tutorials, product videos and any shot where you want people to notice one detail.
Shape Dissolve transition
Shape Dissolve is a new transition built from shapes. You set the shape, motion, feather and timing, from a clean wipe to a busy geometric blend.
Faster Object Mask and Productions
Object Mask tracks faster in 26.3. It can also rebuild masks, with your edits, when a project moves to another computer, so you don't lose work when you share a project.
If you work in Productions, opening one made in an older Premiere version is now much faster. Premiere upgrades projects as you open them instead of all at once, so upgrades that took hours can take minutes.
Also in this update
- Sequences from Firefly Boards. Send several assets from Boards, and Premiere builds a sequence in the order you picked them.
- License Adobe Stock in Premiere. Preview a Stock clip in your edit, then license it from the Project panel. Premiere swaps in the licensed version on the timeline.
- Track creation preference. Choose whether Premiere adds tracks when you edit clips into a sequence.
- Faster workspace switching. Moving between workspaces is a lot quicker.
- Bigger search results. A slider in the Search panel makes thumbnails, waveforms and transcript text larger.
- New cameras. Canon Cinema RAW Light from the EOS C50, EOS R6 Mark III, EOS R6 V and EOS C400, and two new Sony BURANO V3 resolutions up to 120 fps.
- Windows 10 alert. Premiere now warns you when your operating system no longer meets the minimum, like Windows 10.
