Timeline
The timeline now includes duplicate detection, meaning material used several times, including excerpts, is marked automatically; through-edits are displayed and can be merged. Anyone who likes to work with nesting can continue to do so, but “nested source sequences” can also be inserted without nesting.
Link and Locate
Anyone who wants to simplify the laborious relinking of clips, tracks and assets can do so with the new “Link and Locate”. Clever filtering in the media browser substantially reduces the clicking effort and therefore the time required.
Sync Settings
The Creative Cloud treatment means, among other things, that the linked software packages are synchronised through the cloud. Anyone who wants to take media files with them must resort to the new “Adobe Anywhere”, but every Premiere user can take personal settings, shortcuts, menus and interface customisations along: simply log in to the Creative Cloud controls and then select “Synchronise Settings” in Premiere.
Lumetri Deep Color Engine
And finally, the big bang that makes editing software genuinely interesting: the Lumetri Deep Color Engine now also beats inside Premiere’s heart. The “Looks” already thoroughly familiar from DP can be used in the “Effects” menu. This provides a quick grading solution for “fast editing”, and for major projects it already offers a preview of grading possibilities during editing.
