Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro is an entirely new way of creating rough cuts that are as simple as copying and pasting text.
Start by transcribing your source footage. Then use the source transcripts to find the content you want to use in your sequence. Simply select text and click insert to add it to the Timeline. Repeat with other text passages until you've everything you want in the Timeline.
Switch to the sequence transcript to continue working on the rough cut. Copy and paste text to move clips, or delete text to remove clips.
When you are happy with the rough cut, switch to the trimming tools to fine-tune your edit.

The new, improved Auto Save runs in the background without interrupting your work— backups can be saved in increments as short as one minute.
Auto Save creates each backup of your project as a snapshot in time. Browse the Auto Save scratch disk folder to retrieve a specific backup. Background Auto Save will also update the original project file each time you save a backup copy.
The default location for auto-save is the same folder as the project file, but you can set a different location in Project Settings > Scratch Disks.

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.
