An honestly I am so excited for the Photo page, as being able to use the full DaVinci color correction suite on photos seems like such an amazing idea. I hope they bring the Photo page to the iPad version!

From Jessica Nuñez at Adobe Community, Now in Beta: Search Panel Finds the shot faster with visual search. Now in Premiere Pro (beta), AI-powered Media Intelligence automatically identifies visuals such as people, objects, location, camera angles, and more across thousands of clips in seconds. With the new Search panel, use natural language to find these visuals, plus spoken words in transcripts or clips with embedded metadata like shoot date, location, or camera type – all at the same time. The media intelligence analysis is faster than real time and runs locally on your computer, there is no internet connection required. Your media and searches are never used to train Adobe’s AI models. This new search can help you at any stage of your edit, whether you’re diving into organizing hours of new footage, or you need to quickly find that one shot you know you’ve seen before. This is awesome, and I can't wait to try it out as this is AI truly helping an editor vs being something to replace an editor (though it will certain hasten less need for assistant editors). And here is the page on Adobe for the new feature.

You can actually read about the Color Management System in the user manual from the previous August 16th, 2024 update, though the manual does not seem to have been updated to the latest and new Properties panel. And any ProRES acceleration is always welcome, always! I just want some Black Magic acceleration as well!
From Aldred at DIY Photography. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=m9-2SLSuefc&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.diyphotography.net%2F&source_ve_path=MzY4NDIsMjg2NjY&feature=emb_logo I find this interesting as I love the new fade controls in the timeline (I have been using the Beta as it has fixed the timeline issue with an M2 Ultra), though I have still found some issues with tagging short clips, that just refuse to be tagged as dialogue, which is annoying, because the new features are great, but just don't always work.
Posted by Francis-Crossman in the Adobe Support Community: Finally when you drag folders into premier they will match the Finder structure! WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN LIKE THIS FOREVER?!?!??!?! Previously it would leave out empty folders, folders with 1 item, and now it will import empty bins! I always want my structure to match, so this is awesome and I wish it was out today in the normal version.
Adobe had previously added Click and Drag to mutiple track targets in Premiere Pro Beta by holding down cmd/ctrl or adding shift to invert, but they have extended that it: Toggle Track Lock Toggle Sync Lock Toggle Track Output Mute Solo Woohoo, this is awesome!
Adobe announced that they are adding Rotate & Scale to an upcoming beta of Media Encoder. You asked and we listened! Coming to beta this week are two new features in Media Encoder: the ability to scale video and to rotate video. Related, we've also added a feature to flip the output width and height. This makes matching the output to a rotated clip a one-button-click. This is great, as the iPhone has been known to record in the wrong orientation and this will easily let you correct it when recompressing to a better format.
