An important new feature in Premiere Pro is automatic tone mapping and log colour detection, which allows editors to mix and match HDR footage from different sources in an SDR project to achieve great looking, consistent colour. This eliminates the need for editors to use look-up tables (LUTs) or manually match footage to achieve pleasing images. Also new in Premiere Pro, the new context-sensitive Properties panel. Just click once and your go-to tools are accessible in one easy-to-use interface.

The latest Premiere Pro beta release also offers significant detail improvements and presents the fastest version ever released. In addition to improved performance, new features include automatic background saving, system reset options and an effects manager for plug-ins. GPU acceleration for AVC Intra and professional formats such as ARRI RAW, RED RAW and Sony Venice V2 as well as GPU-accelerated video scopes, transitions and title templates ensure responsive editing so editors can now work with 8K material in the timeline.

Collaborative editing enhancements include sequence locking, which allows active editors to lock a sequence so that it is uneditable by other editors until it is released. Presence indicators show who is working on released projects. In addition, “Work Offline” allows editors to continue working offline and publish changes after the fact without overwriting the work of others when they are back online.
