the Premiere Beta new color feature has been getting all the news but the latest update has something I have wanted for ages! Here are the new features at Adobe, Show video and audio waveforms in the viewer! I have been requesting this since I saw it in DavInci and just fell in love with it! This will save so much time! A new set of effects from Film Impact! Wow that was fast! Apply Sharp or Smooth modes in Object selection . Navigate with a sequence index, a spreadsheet style view of your timeline! Relink Media after with smart search Global Audio Mute. Marker support in search. Content credentials in export.

I am a little late posting about this update, as I don’t get much chance to actually sit in front of my computer since I am taking care of my toddler 24-7! But here is Adobe on Premiere Pro 25.5. 90+ Modern realtime effects and transitions! This is so big as Premiere’s transitions have been sorely lacking for some time! In fact so few have been added in ages that this is just huge news! I hope adobe goes out and buys some more effects packages! New Animation Tools is really more from the above, Faster More Precise Editing! Live audio waveforms is another big one as this has been sorely lacking in Premiere and a speciality of DaVinci. Let’s just hope they have fixed all the bugs with waveforms disappearing as this has been a frustration for well over 10 years that they have never dealt with! Listening to editors, improving every cut! Sequence color tabs provide visual indicators for better organization. Improvements to the Effect Controls panel make keyframing more predictable. New preferences for default fonts for text and captions. New keyboard commands to toggle track mute and solo based on targeting. Search for Adobe Stock media from the File menu. New support for 16-bit PNG images to support newer HDR finishing workflows that require high-bit-depth media. Improved data range and color metadata handling for DNxHR, DNxHD, and PNG.Completely rewritten support for MKV. All great and let’s hope it continues! I would love more focus on fixing problems and lesson new features overall. Let’s hope Adobe really is listening’
