Everything New You Should Try in Adobe Premiere Pro 2024

5x Faster Timeline Drawing

While we’ll get into the more everyday needs and updates of video editing below, the biggest non-AI highlight for Premiere Pro in particular might be this timeline drawing update. Promising up to five times better performance, timeline drawing is going to be much improved.

Users should expect an overall more interactive feature that is more responsive for buttery smooth editing and trimming controls that should speed up your editing workflow significantly. (Which is important, especially if you want to stay ahead of the AI innovations to come as well.)

New Text-Based Editing Features

When AI-powered text-based editing was first announced for Premiere Pro, many were skeptical. However, we've remained bullish on this feature’s ability to serve more as a video editor enhancer, rather than a replacer. And so far that’s what this tool has mostly been.

With this new update though text-based editing gets some extra oomph as you can now delete all pauses with a single click, as well as get more control over your transcript view.

There’s also new multichannel audio support so you can choose to re-transcribe an audio file using a specific channel or a mix of all channels.

Simplified Color Settings

Another important update coming with Premiere Pro 2024 is a new and simplified color settings panel and a higher-quality tone mapping tool. These updates should make it easier to produce high-quality work without extra and more complicated steps.

The new and improved Color Settings control will consolidate many color selections into a single tab so that you’ll be able to quickly and easily make changes and view the results right away.

Audio Auto-Tagging

We should also mention this new audio auto-tag feature which will automatically tag audio files as Dialogue, Music, SFX, or Ambience to reveal controls in the Essential Sound panel. This feature will give users the ability to immediately access the most relevant tools for creating professional sound.

Once this auto-tagging feature is complete, the identified tags will then be displayed in the Essential Sound panel where you’ll be able to select a tag and automatically add them to all clips tagged with that category.

Other Updates and Features

Those are the biggest feature updates coming to Premiere Pro 2024 worth mentioning, but if you do update and login to PP 24 you’ll undoubtedly find tons of small updates as well. A few more worth mentioning include a new video effects manager, the ability to save projects as templates, and new restore project options in recovery mode.

There are also some new support updates in Premiere Pro 2024 as the app will now allow support for H/W decode and encode of H264/HEVC files on Intel Discrete Graphics (Intel Arc) cards as well as add GPU hardware decode acceleration for RED's R3D raw format on Windows.
