Premiere Pro is now faster and more reliable than ever. It features 5x faster timeline drawing, new Text-Based Editing features, easier and more consistent color, and dozens of other workflow enhancements.
Learn about best practices for updating Premiere Pro.
The new high-performance timeline drawing is more interactive and responsive for buttery smooth editing and trimming.
With Text-Based Editing, you can now delete all pauses with a single click, and get more control over your transcript view.
With multichannel audio support, you can also choose to re-transcribe an audio file using a specific channel or a mix of all channels.
Simplified color settings and higher-quality tone mapping make it easier to produce great-looking work without extra, complicated steps.
Color Settings consolidates many color selections into a single tab so you can quickly and easily make changes and view the result.
The Settings tab under Lumetri Color consolidates Preferences, Project color settings, Source Clip color settings, Sequence color settings, and Sequence Clip color settings, which were earlier spread across panels and General preferences in Premiere Pro.
The new Audio Auto-Tag feature automatically tags audio files as Dialogue, Music, SFX, or Ambience to reveal controls in the Essential Sound panel to give you immediate access to the most relevant tools to create professional sound.”
Once the auto-tagging is complete, the identified tags will be displayed in the Essential Sound panel.
When you select a tag, all the clips tagged with that category are automatically selected.
Video Effects Manager lets you manage all your third-party plugins in one place.
Quickly identify, troubleshoot, and disable incompatible plugins to improve system stability so you can get back to work faster.
Save projects as templates so you can start your new project with bins and sequences already organized. To save a project as a template, select File > Save as Template.
This will help you retain branding, colors, and assets across multiple projects, which can be useful while creating advertising video collaterals. Learn more about YouTube’s best practices for creating effective advertisement videos.

Import media intuitively from Import mode or Media Browser just as you would from a local disk.

Additional updates
New support for HEVC and H264 hardware acceleration on Intel Discrete Graphics Cards
Premiere Pro is now supporting H/W decode and encode of H264/HEVC files on Intel Discrete Graphics (Intel Arc) cards, which will further boost the app's performance. Learn more about Media Capabilities Supported by Intel Hardware.
Hardware acceleration for R3D on Windows
As part of the latest improvements, we have added GPU hardware decode acceleration for RED's R3D raw format on Windows (with GPU acceleration already shipping for macOS). GPU support works for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs with 6 GB or more of GPU memory.
Previously, custom destinations were saved per sequence with no easy way to share them with other sequences and projects.
You can add, edit, and retain a single set of custom destinations in Export mode.
Open a sequence or clip in Export mode and set up multiple customized destinations – now available globally.
Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), a video streaming protocol based on UDP, lets you video and audio stream packets of information from Premiere Pro to different viewers.
The SRT protocol involves a handshake between Premiere Pro and the viewing client. Once a valid handshake is established, the video is sent from Premiere Pro to the viewing client.
A valid SRT connection can be made using three distinct modes.
Learn more about SRT support in Premiere Pro.
Support for tape-based workflows has been removed from Premiere Pro. While some users still use tape for archiving video content, the industry has moved towards all-digital workflows, which have advantages for media asset management, cloud workflows, and generally streamlining production.
