And I am one who agrees that is is not an improvement, but I am not much of a fan of the import page either.

The discussion at Adobe Support Community thread THE NEW EXPORT SCREEN IS CLUMSY, BULKY, AND REQUIRES MORE CLICKING [EXPORT] at this point has 27 pages of comments.

Much of the discussion is way too filled with vitriol, and too many talking about DaVinci Resolve, but there are still some very salient points of the export page.

The lack of customization, which in the edit page is what makes Premier so much more powerful than DaVinci Resolve or FCP, as every editor does things their own way, if awful. And everything is so big.

I will never use the whole first section, destinations, because videos should be checked before upload, so I should be able to hide it!

The settings are set with so many twirl downs, needing more clicks.

Then once you open you need to click more to see most of the settings, and then everything is so big you have to scroll to see more.

And the Preview Window, which is way too big and can’t be hidden. I don’t need to see the preview ever, and while I like seeing the timeline it needs to be smaller.

It is honestly a mess, and the old one was so much more customizable.

And since the latest version doesn’t remember your previous settings, like Match Sequence Settings, there are just more clicks needed.

The biggest problem with the thread is all the vitriol just makes Adobe shutdown and not care. And it doesn’t help that they put so much head to the beta test period, which not only was not very long, but is something that can be hard to do if you are in production.

Adobe has updated Premiered Pro to the 2023 version.

Inner and outer strokes for graphics, updated in essential graphics.

Flexible alignment controls, allow you to line up text and shape elements.

Bulk edit titles on the timeline is a huge signature feature. You can batch change attributes across graphics files (this has been coming since you could see the ext in earlier versions).

2x Faster Motion Graphics templates, with multi-grame rendering being 2x faster.

Improved performance for AVC Intra, 10-bit AVC Intra formats are 2x faster on Apple Silicon.

GPU acceleration for Lumetri Scopes, is just going to speed things up, which is always great.

Improved Previews on Windows and macOS, with Apple ProRes now being the default codec for previewing most video formats. This could be a huge performance and quality boost. I already use ProRES as my default, but nice to have it be the norm.

AAF Support for Apple Silicon, actually makes me wonder why this was not working for so long. Sure you could run premiere not in native mode to get it to work on Apple Silicon, but this is a pretty necessary feature.

ARRI ALEXA 35 Camera Support

And a very intere4sting feature in the BETA.

Assemble rough cuts from transcripts, from the built in transcripts feature in the Text Panel.

This could be really interesting, and certainly speed things up. Anything that makes the awesome transcripts feature more center is a great thing.

Not huge features, but some pretty important ones, that will make our lives easier.

Nick Lear at the Pro Video Colation has a great article on Codecs in Premiere Pro.

I still am not a fan of editing with H.264, or any compressed codec. I don’t like JPEG or MP3 either, but I know most people don’t convert to ProRES for editing like I do.
