Feature summary | Premiere Pro (April 2023 update)

The April 2023 (version 23.3) release of Premiere Pro includes important fixes, optimizations, and user-requested improvements, like background auto save. This update is recommended for all users. Learn about best practices for updating Premiere Pro.

Export directly to Adobe Media Encoder 

Use the new menu command (File > Export > Send to Adobe Media Encoder) or keyboard shortcut (Opt + Shift + M (macOS) or Alt + Shift + M (Windows)) to export your sequence to Adobe Media Encoder. Exporting via Media Encoder means exporting happens in the background so you can continue working in Premiere Pro.

The UI shows the new menu command i.e. File > Export > Send to Adobe Media Encoder
You can also use the keyboard shortcut to export your sequence to the Media Encoder.

Easily accessible recently used presets in Export mode

The Preset menu in Export mode now shows the last three presets you’ve used for export.

This makes it easier to quickly apply presets recently used with other sequences, clips, or projects.

The UI shows export window with recently used presets for easier access.
Recently used presets are featured higher for easier access.

Drag and drop project items in Productions

Moving assets between projects within the same Production is now easier. Drag and drop to move any project item to a different project, where the asset is saved to the root folder. To copy, press Cmd (macOS) or Ctrl (Windows) while dragging and dropping.

Production provides a framework for larger, multi-project workflows in Premiere Pro, such as assistant editors working with their editor.

When copying items, a plus sign will appear beside the cursor.

Production makes it easy for editorial teams to use shared storage to work with a common media pool and stay organized. Learn more about how clips work across projects in a Production.

Improved R3D performance

Premiere Pro now has significantly improved performance for RED R3D footage on Apple M1 and M2 Macs.

GPU acceleration for Center Split transition

Center Split provides a stylized old-school transition where the image splits into four quadrants that disappear in the screen's corners – or appear if the transition is reversed. Like other Premiere Pro transitions, Center Split is highly customizable.

With GPU acceleration, playback is improved, and exports become faster when using this transition.

GPU acceleration for Non-Additive Dissolve transition 

Non-Additive Dissolve creates a transition by mapping the luminance of the first clip to the second one. Unlike a standard Cross Dissolve, both clips are more clearly visible during the transition but without the burst of brightness that comes from Additive Dissolve

GPU acceleration improves playback performance and leads to faster export for Non-Additive Dissolve.

GPU acceleration for Split transition

The Split transition provides a stylized effect for things like a scene opening, where the previous clip splits, and the two halves move off-screen, revealing the new clip. Like other transitions, the effect is customizable.

GPU acceleration improves the effect's performance, including better performance in the effects stack for faster exports.

New Learn panel

You can now easily navigate to a series of customized tutorials by accessing the new Learn panel through Window > Workspaces > Learning.

With high personalization of content, quickly discover new playlists and get recommendations based on your learning curve.

Text-Based Editing

Text-Based Editing allows you to easily edit your videos without reviewing hours of source footage to find the sound bites you want. Just review transcripts or search for keywords to find the right content faster.

To assemble a rough cut, copy text from your source transcripts and insert to add clips to the Timeline. Switch to the sequence transcript to continue working on the rough cut. Copy and paste text to move clips, and delete text to remove clips.

Find answers to the most common questions about Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro.

The UI shows shows the Text Based Editing workspace, with a part of the transcript highlighted to be cut off.
Throughout the editorial, you can use the sequence transcript to navigate you timeline.

Color Manager

The new Color Manager in Premiere Pro consolidates all Premiere Pro's color settings under a new tab in the Lumetri Color panel. 

Input Color Space

Now you can automatically recognize log media with the appropriate color space in the Color workspace settings, which was previously only available under Modify Clip settings.

The Lumetri Color UI shows Settings that consolidate Input Color Space, Working Color Space, and Display Color Space across Premiere Pro.
The Settings under Lumetri Color consolidate all color options.

Working Color Space

To further simplify the workflow, the ProjectSequence, and Clip settings have been included under the Working Color Space.

Display Color Space

Earlier available under the General preferences, the Display Color Space can now be easily accessed through the Color workspace or the newly added tab under Preferences > Color.

Restore projects through Recovery Mode

You can now easily recover and continue working on your Premiere Pro projects after a crash.

After opening Premiere Pro after a crash, you'll get a restoration pop-up stating, "Premiere Pro quit unexpectedly while a project was open." If you choose to Reopen, Premiere Pro will open all the projects in the state they were available before the application was closed unexpectedly.

Learn more about how to recover projects in Premiere Pro.

The image shows pop-up saying, "Premiere Pro quit unexpectedly while 3 projects were open."
If you wish to restore previous versions of your projects, you can revert to the last user-saved state by using File > Revert.
