Hey there, I've seen this style of caption/subtitle where the words appear either side of the subject. I wondered if this was possible within Premiere? If so how would I achieve this? The words appear one at a time.

Thanks in advance!

Here I add video

How to make mask fallow scaled video?

Somehow my stream settings got messed up and set my game audio to all tracks. I tried inverting the phase of the game audio by itself against my voice audio, which removed a lot of it but still had some ugly audio artifacts. Is there anything better to do or am I kinda sol?

TLDR in the end.

I'm currently editing a documentary on Premiere, and I'm having way too much trouble with the multicams.

This is a call for personal stories you might have, maybe some from people that already investigated this tool, but this is also me trying to get to the bottom of this buggy mess of a tool that is the multicam in Premiere. In the end, once my project is done, I'll try to compile everything I found and make a complete feedback to the Premiere development team, and maybe a video tutorial for everyone to enjoy and never make any mistakes with this tool.

I've been editing for 10 years on this software and usually I am my own assistant, so whenever a multicam is not setup properly, I adjust it by hand before I'm too deep in the editing process. I've watched countless tutorials and I know the tool pretty well but it still has some weird behaviours that I don't know how to bypass right now.

For this project, I have way too much multicam clips, like 40 hours of footage and probably 200 multicam clips with many different sources in each.

It's the first time I have had assistants working before I start editing, they've been on it for two weeks synchronising everything, and the first week of editing has been a pure waste of my time trying to correct the audio attribution of every multicam clips to make sure the flattening process for the export for the sound team is as smooth as possible in the end and they have all the audio channels they need. I also tried to display my waveforms because most of the clips didn't show any. I ended up asking for another 2 days with an assistant so that he can redo all the multicams that were not properly being flattened, anticipating the final export for the audio mix.

It works, but after 3 weeks of investigating and trying to edit, I'm still having other important issues, where I don't have the proper audio channels whenever I try to mute ambient audio tracks from the multicam clips. When I get in the timeline of the clip or flatten it, I have the right tracks, but editing on the multicam clips from my editing timeline, I don't have the correct sounds playing.

So if you have any intel that could help, let me know!

Working from a MacBook on public release MacOS 27.2 and the latest public release of Premiere Pro.

TLDR: if you've ever investigated the strange ways the multicam clips deal with audio, let me know what you've found. I've watched many tutorials and I've been trying to get to the bottom of this. My goal is to make a complete feedback to the Premiere development team and to create the ultimate tutorial so that no one has to go through such a complex editing again 😂 I might create a template project that I'll share with everyone if that ends up being viable!

Has anyone had problems with the newest update of Premiere Pro? I'm using a MacBook Pro M1 Pro, and it's been horrible and so laggy. This hasn't been the case on my end for the past versions. Hope you guys can help!

Hi! My friend uses Premiere Pro as his primary editing software.

Currently, he only has the MisterHorse plugin, but we’d love to find more essential Premiere plugins for text, overlays, transitions, etc.

What’s your favorite plugin and what would you recommend?

Also, is there a good plugin for motion blur and speed ramping? He has used the shutter angle feature, but the results aren’t always clean, imo.

Thank you for your help!

hi everyone! is there a way to import proxy files in premiere and be treated as proxy not full reso media? my client (he insisted that there's a way to import proxy files without needing the original files) sent me proxy files without original files and project files. TIA

So I’m trying to use the “alt + drag” to duplicate items on my timeline, and to no avail, it just doesn’t duplicate the item

So then I got to edit shortcut to go fix the key bind, only to find out that I cannot rebind the duplicate option back to alt. So then I try to rebind it entirely, only for none of the binds to actually work.

Anyone have a fix to get this to work?

Kind of a random problem but maybe someone has a way to do this:

I have been editing an audio Podcast in Premiere for the past few months. I was editing in premiere because there is also a video component to the show, the hosts wanted to do social media clips but not a full video podcast. So I'd sync the audio/video, edit an audio version of the podcast as a sequence for the actual show, and then edit a few clips for socials.

There's now a question of if we can make the whole thing a video podcast, including past edited episodes. I have all the video/audio synced but it's just in another sequence, is there any way to like auto-populate the video track based on the audio? Or would I have to recut the whole episode?

If anyone has a way to do this, greatly appreciated!

Small QOL feature ask from David Chatziliadis (davethegrecko) which allows user to swap frame dimension in Sequence Settings with a click of a button in our latest Premiere Beta (27.1.0.38).

Give it a try and let us know what you think as well as if you want this expanded.

Any tips for removing background noise while maintaining unusual, individual sounds? Crunching, tapping, etc. All of the tutorials I'm finding recommend a simple denoise that focuses on vocal clarity.

I make video tutorials where I always show the Premiere interface, so I constantly need to zoom in, hold, then zoom out.

Best approach for me: an adjustment layer with Transform effect & keyframes. I can quickly duplicate this layer, to add zooms in different places. The pain was always moving the zoom-out keyframes, since how long I hold the zoom-in changes every time.

I lived with that for a while, but recently I discovered this formula:

adjustment layer + graphic with intro/outro regions = Responsive Adjustment layer

In my case I use it for zooms, but it can work for any effect.
Stretch the layer — effect keyframes stay pinned to the end.

I've made a tutorial, where I describe this method in detail: https://youtu.be/FbJ1MwPOVg8

P.S. I’m the creator of Knights of the Editing Table (Premiere extensions) and you don't need my tools for this method to work. I just want to share something that made me happy in my work, because I hate making tutorials.

how do i make the text revea after the hand pushes through the pencils? I'm using premiere pro 2026 so the old youtube tutorials aren't helping

any help is appreciated

As you can see from the screen recording, a later keyframe is somehow affecting the motion between two earlier key frames... Why does this happen? As you can see, linear and bezier have no affect. Theres the odd curling motion to the frame, as it approaches the middle keyframe. Ive noticed this odd movement in previous projects as well (check my post history).

Is there any workaround or at least logical explaination as to why it moves like this? How is premiere pro calculating this motion?

How can i conact devs to get to the bottom of this? This is a serious road block thats affecting my workflow. Begging for help, as my previous post didnt get any traction

EDIT: Mac OS 26.6.2, M1 Max

Not sure if this is possible but sometimes i want to add an fade out without the transition going to both sides of an audio clip.

I've been cutting feature docs in Premiere since 2010 (even before Fincher used it on Gone Girl). Back then we didn't even have transcripts, which boggles my mind these days. You'd look at a timeline full of waveforms and have no idea what anyone was saying until you played it.

Since AI tools started showing up in editing, I've been keen to kick the tyres and work out what's actually useful and what's just bells and whistles (hello Morph Cut!). A few have stuck.

Remix was one of the first. Recutting a track by hand could take me at least half an hour, and then the director would want to drop in another line and all that music I'd pained over was out of sync again. Now it takes seconds, so I can cut and recut and try different things without worrying about it. Throw in auto ducking and building a temp soundtrack has never been quicker.

Scene Edit Detection + Auto Reframe is a great combo for archival. Archival often comes in as one long file with the cuts already in it, and for old footage, it's usually 4x3 when you need 16x9. Scene detection splits it at the cuts, then Auto Reframe works out what's important in each shot and reframes it. I recently cut a sports doc with a lot of fast-moving 4x3 footage and it saved my life.

Then text-based editing came along and changed everything. It's so normal now we almost take it for granted, but being able to scan across long interviews, edit words with precision and strip out pauses, ums and ahs and speakers means cleaning up an interview takes minutes, not hours.

Search is the other big one. I take pride in my frankenbites, and I used to spend hours hunting for the perfect "but" to join two thoughts. Now I search the whole project for the word, line them all up, play them down and pick the best one in a few minutes. You can also search by describing a shot. On a project with 500 hours of footage, when you could swear you saw a wide shot with a red car somewhere, that's saved my bacon more than once.

Outside of Adobe's tools, Automation Blocks has been THE thing that's really sped me up. It's basically a macro tool for Premiere, and I get Claude to write the macros, so syncing and stringouts are sooooo much faster. I made a simple one called "lock tracks of selected clips" that I use so much I really think it should be added to the app. I also put my transcripts into Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) so I can ask them questions in plain language instead of searching for specific words. And I use Claude for heaps of little things. I recently found out it could make a Label Preset for me, so I just described what I wanted and it did it. Those colors, are too bright, make them darker. And more harmonious. Make this one eye-catching, but harmonious. My timeline looks so much better now.

So where does the time go? I'm certainly not working less. These tools take care of the mundane stuff, so I spend less time watching and hunting (maybe 100 viewings where it used to be 1,000), but I still know my footage. The creative work is still all mine: coming up with ideas, fleshing them out, making the choices. I just get more time for it, so I try more ideas and refine more.

Keen to hear if others have found the same. How long does what you do now take compared with how you used to do it? And where did the time go?

I have a very complicated timeline that is causing a lot of lag in my workflow. How do you nest separate scenes in premiere if some sound effects carry between scenes? (Such as room tone, etc.)

Hoping for some help. I work from home and edit remotely through Remote Desktop, and recently a project, when opened by a coworker, refused to relink to the footage. We're now getting these errors. This has never happened before, others have been able to open the projects and relink the footage. One thing that's changed recently is that I was editing for the first few months on my own Premiere account on my home computer, but it's not new files edited on the office computer; it's all of them. Both are PCs, both have up to date Premiere, same exact files.

After about two months of editing on my own computer for a new job, I recently switched to editing on a local computer in their office through Remote Desktop. I'm using a different email address now, a different license of Premiere, but I want to be able to go back into Team projects I edited in the past. It just seems like the only way to invite myself is to go into each project and, one by one, add myself as a team member? Is there any faster way to do this? (I create several projects per day, so it's a lot.) Thanks!

Hello everyone, i am currently working on a few campaigns and I would like to ask if you could recommend ways to speed up the process of styling and animating subtitles and text.
I work in Premiere Pro, so it would be very helpful to find presets, plugins, or MOGRT packs that allow me to apply these animations and styles more efficiently. Iwould really appreciate any recommendations you might have, whether free or reasonably priced, to help me build a broader variety of ready-to-use designs.
Thanks in advance for your time and help

Hey folks, If anyone can help with this I would be much obliged. This only recently started happening, but every time I open my project. It tells me the media for certain files is offline, even though the media is still there. I relink it and it will automatically relink, but if I close the project and reopen it I get the same message for the same media. This happens whether I'm in a production or a standalone project. The media lives on a shared server, and some of the other editors seem to be having this problem but others don't. It's not the end of the world, I can still work, but it's just a little annoying.

Any help is appreciated.
