Oliver Peters at digitalfilms on Six Premiere Pro Game Changers. And these are on fairly recent adds.
The Auto Transcribe is really a huge game changer, though I don’t use for Captioning though, I use it for Testimonials, and it is amazing and could really use a new interface for that use. It is amazing, and makes cutting testimonials so much faster and better.
Scott Simmons at the ProVideoCoalition has a great article entitled, “My single most loved feature in Adobe Premiere Pro.”
Customization is really the best thing about Premiere Pro.
Of course AVID was the start of this because every editor doesn’t want to work the same way or have the same setup to work on, so being able to have your own setup is so important and AVID premiered this feature in the editing space.
The original Apple Final Cut Pro also had this feature.
The new Final Cut Pro, previously Final Cut Pro X, did away with this and wants you to edit their way. You don’t have as many ways to do things and you really can’t do a lot of customization in the workspace.
DaVinci Resolve has added editing to it’s color correction program and it is great, but it also does not let you customize, it is once again how they want you to edit. Yes you can use one or two monitors, but the windows are all very fixed where they are.
Premiere though is like AVID in customization, but adds to it, especially with so many available 3rd party extensions, like from AESCRIPTS, and it’s extensive keyboard shortcut options.
Scott Simmons is so right that Premiere’s customization abilities are it’s absolute best feature and it is a shame that DaVinci Resolve doesn’t allow the same customization.
As posted by Marjorie Sacks from Adobe int he Adobe Premiere Pro Beta discussions.
Track targeting just got a lot easier in Premiere Pro (Beta). You can select and target multiple source or target tracks by holding down CMD/CTRL as you click and drag the cursor across multiple track buttons in the timeline panel.
Holding down CMD/CTRL + Shift while dragging will invert the targeted selection.
Yea I could not be happier about this, AVID always did a better job with track selection, and this does a lot to bridge that gap.

Personally I use Option R for Ripple Delete, but yea, Keybaord shortcuts are so important.
The Alexa 35 looks amazing and it looks like Alexa has done it again, though way out of my price range.
Here are some links and videos I checked out about it.
Potato Jet has a video Review.
Brian Hallett at ProVideoCoalition has a look at it.
As does Yaroslave Altunin at No film School.
I edit a lot of spots shot with Arri, so hopefully will run into some footage from one of these soon.
I just wish that Adobe would allow us to not have the damned AMIRA Lut automatically applied, especially since it doesn’t do this for other cameras. On a pro editing system I want to control it,
Again not in the release notes, but as reported at Adobe User Voice, Adobe gas fixed the ability to chose a name by clicking on a file, though it isn’t thhe same on windows as the post says.
I love that adobe is fixing this stuff, but wish it was in the release notes.
This used to be a feature, but then was removed for some unknown reason. Luckily I followed this post at user voice, as the new features list doesn’t list this as being a new feature.
This has troublesome if you get high speed footage not in the format you want, or if you want to do proxies with footage that is higher than 60FPS.
For new features it lists Notification on Encoding or Queue Completion, Computer Shutdown on Queue Encoding Finish and Support for Red V-Raptor camera.
Adobe has updated Premiere Pro to June 2022 (version 22.5).
It’s new features are:
A new Essentials Workspace with everything at your fingertips.
A new Vertical Video Workspace.
Proxy Workflow Improvements with visual badges in timeline and project panel to make it clear if you are vieweing proxies, and you can now add watermarks on your proxys as you make them, and even better the default proxy setting is no ProRES instead of H.264.
Gradients for Strokes and Shadows in Essential Graphics.
Improved H264/HEVC encoding on Apple M1 Systems.
Support for Red V-Raptor Cameras.
And more GPu-Accelerated Effects.
For me the Proxy workflow improvements are the best thing here, though the gradients is not a bad thing. New workspaces are great, but I always build my own.
