AUDIO
Audio workflow improvements
This release of Premiere Pro comes integrated with the powerful audio engine from Adobe Audition, ensuring a more
seamless and robust audio editing experience.
Other new features include a faster voice-over recording configuration, improved multi-channel audio export, and a
more intuitive user interface for audio routing. The new audio routing interface gives you more control over visually
assigning the output channels for standard, mono, 5.1, and adaptive tracks. The audio channels in the Modify Clip
workflow come with a matrix to match the available channels in the source file to the channels and track items in the
clip.
In addition, Premiere Pro now allows plug-and-play with a wide range of audio hardware, including ASIO and MME
(Windows) and CoreAudio (Mac) with pre-loaded setup for these device types.
Dynamic Link video streaming
When you send Premiere Pro projects to Audition using the Dynamic Link video streaming video option, you can view
video in its native resolution within Audition.
1 In a Project panel, select a sequence containing audio.

USER INTERFACE
Task-oriented workspaces and stacked panels
Premiere Pro now offers a more dynamic user interface with task-oriented workspaces that display the required toolsets
for a task at hand.
Each workspace focuses on a specific task of the post-production workflow and includes panels that contain options
and controls for working on that task.
The workspaces are designed such that they not only reduce clutter but also guide you through the tasks in a logical
workflow. If you are using a touch-based device, you can switch workspaces with a tap of the finger.
To learn more, see Wo rkspaces.
New Welcome experience
The 2015 release of Premiere Pro CC has a new Welcome experience to help you discover, learn, and use features in
Premiere Pro.
Each time you start Premiere Pro or when you click Help > Welcome, a tab-based Welcome screen helps you easily
discover new features, getting started tutorials, and tips and techniques.
The content that is displayed is personalized and relevant to your subscription and use of Premiere Pro.
Note: The new Welcome screen is currently available only in the English version of Premiere Pro.

EDITING
Time Tuner
Time Tuner is a new feature in Adobe Media Encoder that enables you to deliver content that is the right duration
without time-consuming micro-editing. Time Tuner adjusts the length of video by automatically adding or removing
frames at scene changes or sections of low visual activity.
This feature is especially useful for editors working in broadcast to meet specific delivery requirements.
To learn more, watch this video tutorial .
Caption burn-in
Premiere Pro lets you burn in permanent captions into your video for both closed captions and open caption file
formats.
When you import open caption files, Premiere Pro automatically converts the open captions to closed captions. You
can then edit and burn the captions into the export using Premiere Pro or Adobe Media Encoder.
To learn more, see Worki ng with captions.
Editing experience refinements
Clip markers displayed on minimized Timeline tracks
Earlier, clip markers were not displayed when tracks were collapsed to their minimum height. Now, you can always
display clip markers. To turn them off, click
in the Timeline panel, and deselect Show Clip Markers.
Improved four-point editing
When the In and Out points on the source are shorter than the In and Out points on the sequence, the Ignore Source
In Point and Ignore Source Out Point options are no longer disabled. Earlier, these options were disabled even if the
source has available frames to move the In and Out points and accommodate the edit.
Note: Select Always Use this Choice to ensure that the Fit Clip dialog does not appear every time there is a mismatch.
However, if there isn't enough media beyond the In or Out pints in the source to make the edit, an Insufficient Content for
Edit warning dialog appears.
Logarithmic waveform scaling in the Timeline
Premiere Pro now offers a new Logarithmic Waveform Scaling feature that scales up the peaks and valleys of a
waveform to make them easier to read, especially at low noise levels. This feature is turned on by default, and applies
to both rectified and non-rectified waveform settings.
To turn this feature off, select the pop-up menu from the Timeline, and deselect Logarithmic Waveform Setting.
Hide items in the Project panel
Premiere Pro lets you selectively hide items in the Project panel, letting you easily focus on only the visible items.
To hide a project item, select the item in the Project panel, and select Hide from the context menu. You can hide not
only single project items but also a group of project items including bin folders, sequences, and nested sequences.
8
What's New
Last updated 6/9/2015
At any point, you can view the hidden items by selecting View Hidden from the context menu. The View Hidden option
works on all project items and media types, including bins, sequences, and titles.
Important notes
• You can use the Hide and View Hidden options while using the Search Bins feature in Premiere Pro. For example,
you can create a single location where you can search for clips that have been hidden among all the other bins.
• When you use the Reveal In Project feature on a sequence item whose master clip is hidden, the "View Hidden"
s
ettings are toggled off. Premiere Pro then displays all hidden items including the master clip that
was hidden.
Sort on XMP metadata in the Project panel
Sorting on XMP metadata columns in the project panel is re-enabled.
Click an XMP column header to sort metadata by this column. After the XMP loading is complete, the progress dialog
di
sappears and the project panel is sorted.
At any point, you can cancel sort operations that are running long due to XMP loading.
Composite preview during trim
The new Composite Preview During Trim feature lets you trim clips more accurately.
When you drag trim an edit point in a Timeline panel, you can see a preview of what the final composited frames look
l
ike in the Program Monitor. You can preview what the composited frames look like on either side of the edit point, and
not just the frames on the track that you are trimming.
To access this feature, click the Wrench icon in a Timeline panel, and select Composite Preview During Trim.
Create a subsequence from a sequence segment
You can now mark a portion of a sequence in the Source monitor with an In/Out range and create a new sequence that
contains just that In/Out range with the original clip content and track layout. For example, you can divide a long
sequence into segments that can be used as sources for other sequences.
With a sequence open in the Timeline panel or in the Source
monitor, mark an In and Out range, then choose Make
Subsequence from the Sequence menu. A new sequence is created in the Project panel, using the name of the original
sequence, and appended with _Sub_01 and auto-incremented for the next subsequence.
Disable Master Clip Effects for project items
You can quickly disable Master Clip Effects by selecting one or more project items and choosing Disable Master Clip
Effect from the context menu.
In the Effect Controls panel, use the FX button to toggle Master Clip Effects off and on.
AAF Export and reference video track
You can export AAF files directly from Premiere Pro. Select File> Export > AAF to export the selected project.
In the AAF Export Settings dialog, select Mixdown Video to include a reference video clip when exporting. A reference
vi
deo clip can help with efficient editing and syncing.
When you open the AAF file, the reference video clip is automatically linked.
Sequential Field playback in Source and Program Monitors
The Display Both Fields option in the Source Monitor and Program Monitor now plays clips sequentially, instead of
one after the other. Playing clips one after the other is sometimes found to have combing effects.
9
What's New
Last updated 6/9/2015
The Display Both Fields option applies only to playback, and not to scrubbing or pausing.
Improved event notifications
In previous versions of Premiere Pro, a warning icon was displayed in the lower right corner of the Status Bar when an
event occurred that would be displayed in the Events panel. Since the warning icon is small, it often went unnoticed.
Now, in addition to the warning icon, a notification pop-up dialog appears in the lower right corner of the application.
Clic
k the pop-up notification to open the Events Panel that contains more details.
To turn off this pop-up notification, deselect Show Event Notifications in the Preferences dialog under the General
ca
tegory.
Improvements to Consolidate and Transcode
• Increased handle frame limit When consolidating and transcoding a project, or rendering and replacing, you can
specify up to 999 additional frames before the In point and after the Out point of each transcoded clip.
• Preserved alpha channel graphics Premiere Pro preserves alpha channels in clips during transcoding. When this
option is selected (default setting), Premiere Pro detects clips with an alpha channel. If the selected preset does no
t
c
ontain an alpha channel, Premiere Pro copies the alpha channel without transcoding. If the selected preset contains
an alpha channel, then the clip is transcoded. Clips without alpha channels are transcoded following the normal
rules of transcoding.
Export movies at a specific timecode
Previously, you could only set the start time code of a movie to zero in the Export Settings dialog. Now, you can have
an exported movie start at a specified timecode, other than zero. For example, you can specify that an exported movie
should start at a timecode of 00:09:32:27.
To specify a timecode, select Set Start Timecode in the Export Settings dialog box, and enter the timecode value.
New frame hold option
You can now freeze a video frame based on a clip's source timecode.
In the Frame Hold options dialog box, a Source Timecode opt
ion is added. When you select Source Timecode, the
Frame field changes to the clip's timecode. Modify the clip timecode value as required.
In addition, the Time option is now renamed to Sequence Timecode.
To learn more about the Frame Hold options, see Freeze and hold frames.
New Appearance preferences
The Appearance pane of the Preferences dialog box provides new preferences that let you control the brightness and
saturation of the blue highlight color, interactive controls, and focus indicators.
OTHER FEATURES
Expanded format support
Premiere Pro continues to expand its native format support by supporting the following formats:
• DNxHD with compressed alpha
• Canon XF-AVC
10
What's New
Last updated 6/9/2015
• ProRes 4444XQ
• Panasonic 4K_HS
Premiere Pro also supports DNxHD growing files.
Soft subclip support through XML
Premiere Pro now supports subclips with soft edits in Final Cut Pro project XML files.
New and changed keyboard shortcuts
Contextual keyboard shortcuts for Trim and Nudge
You can now use the same shortcuts for Trim and Nudge commands without having to use a different key combination
for each shortcut. The correct shortcut combination works depending on the action you perform in the Timeline - for
example, editing a clip versus moving a clip.
In the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, when you specify a shortcut that has already been used, Premiere Pro displays a
warning that the shortcut has already been assigned. However, you can go ahead and assign the shortcut to another
command. For example, you can assign the same shortcut to the Trim Forward and Nudge Forward commands.
New keyboard shortcuts to play In to Out
You can assign keyboard shortcuts for the following commands using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog:
• Play Video In to Out
• Play Audio In to Out
• Play from Playhead to Audio Out Point
• Play from Playhead to Video Out Point

Chapter 3: Workspace and workflows
Workspaces
Note: Premiere Pro CC now provides an enhanced, dynamic user interface with a new task-oriented workspaces layout,
tabbed panels, and other improvements. If you are using a version earlier than the 2015 release of Premiere Pro CC, you
might not find some of the panels and tools as described in this article.
About workspaces
Adobe video and audio applications provide a consistent, customizable workspace. Although each application has its
own set of panels (such as Project, Metadata, and Timeline), you move and group panels in the same way across
products.
The main window of a program is the application window. Panels are organized in this window in an arrangement
called a workspace. The default workspace contains groups of panels as well as panels that stand alone.
You customize a workspace by arranging panels in the layout that best suits your working style. As you rearrange panels,
the other panels resize automatically to fit the window. You can create and save several custom workspaces for different
tasks—for example, one for editing and one for previewing.

You can use floating windows to create a workspace more like workspaces in previous versions of Adobe applications,
or to place panels on multiple monitors.

Import a workspace with a project
Workspace selections and customizations made in a project are saved in the project file. By default, Premiere Pro opens
projects in the current workspace. However, you can instead open a project in the workspace last used with it. This
option is particularly helpful if you often rearrange the workspace for each project.
If you import a project and the workspace is empty, close the project. Deselect Import Workspace From Projects. Import
the project again, and select an existing workspace for the project.
❖ Before opening a project, select Window > Workspace > Import Workspace From Projects.
Customizing workspaces
Choose a workspace
Each Adobe video and audio application includes several predefined workspaces that optimize the layout of panels for
specific tasks. When you choose one of these workspaces, or any custom workspaces you’ve saved, the current
workspace is redrawn accordingly.
In Premiere Pro, Workspace buttons in the Workspaces panel provide you one-click access to default or custom
workspaces.
• Switch to the different layouts by clicking the names at the top of the workspace
• Click on the Chevron icon (>>) to open the Overflow menu. The Overflow menu includes workspace layouts that
are not displayed in the Workspace panel.
• Drag the vertical divider next to the Chevron icon to control whether a workspace is displayed or hidden in the
overflow menu.
Note: Older custom workspaces might not have the Workspaces panel open at the top of the workspace. You can open the
Workspaces panel, dock it at the top and save the change into the workspace.

You can also open a Workspace from the Window menu:
❖ Open the project you want to work on, choose Window > Workspace, and select the desired workspace.
Modify the order of workspaces or delete workspaces
You can change the order in which workspaces are displayed, move a workspace to the Overflow menu, or hide a
workspace so that it is not displayed in the Workspaces panel. You can also delete a workspace from the panel.
Note:
1 Click the Workspace menu icon, which appears next to the currently active workspace.

Save or reset workspaces
Save a custom workspace
As you customize a workspace, the application tracks your changes, storing the most recent layout. To store a specific
layout more permanently, save a custom workspace. Saved custom workspaces appear in the Workspace menu, where
you can return to and reset them.
❖ Arrange the frames and panels as desired, and then do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Save as New Workspace.
• Or, choose Window > Workspace > Save as New Workspace.
