Access free stock audio inside Premiere Pro

Now you can search for sound effects directly inside Premiere Pro, including thousands of free files from Adobe Stock. Filter music or sound effects by “free” or “premium” categories and license tracks while you edit. 

UI shows Free music being filtered under Adobe Stock.
With access to over 15,000 free music tracks, you can filter between Free and Premium from Adobe Stock.

With Timeline Sync, you can press play on a music track or a sound effect in the Essential Sound panel, which will start playback of the media on the timeline, allowing you to preview the cues in the context of your edit to truly give a sense of which track works best.

Linear Timecode support

With native Linear Timecode (LTC) support, you can quickly and accurately sync multiple video and audio sources from devices that encode timecode in the audio signal. You can use LTC to synchronize clips or create multi-camera source sequences.

LTC has become more popular and useful since many newer, more affordable devices don't support recording timecode as metadata in the video file. A common solution is to store timecode data in an audio track. While this track is audible to the human ear, it's a high-pitched sound that contains data instead of a "normal" sound. Many lower-cost timecode syncing devices can generate LTC.

Expanded Canon Support

Work natively with Canon EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1 camera files. Import files and start editing right away. No transcoding is required.

Additional updates

The Obsolete Effects folder and plug-ins, Obsolete Transitions folder and plug-ins, and presets built from the obsolete effects are now removed. These effects and transitions have faster, more modern alternatives in Premiere Pro or offered by third parties. These effects are responsible for major project slowdowns and performance bottlenecks. In addition to all the modern alternatives to the obsolete effects and transitions within Premiere Pro, you can also use  third-party effects, transitions, and filters
