New features, improvements and fixes in the panel, newest first. When an update is out the panel lets you know; just press Update.
All settings now live in six boxes: Style Gallery, Text, Highlights, Lines, Motion and Safe Zone. Tap a box and its settings slide up from the bottom, so the caption preview stays visible while you adjust.
The engine that turns speech into text on Windows has changed. On computers without a graphics card, captions now come out more accurate.
Dedicated AMD and Intel graphics cards now speed up speech recognition too; previously only NVIDIA cards were used.
The review screen counts the silent gaps in your video and offers to take you to Cut in one click.
Setup downloads the components needed for acceleration by itself; you don't install anything else.
However far you scroll, the header and the back button stay in place.
Safe Zone settings open right under the preview and the preview grows, so you can see the platform interface clearly while placing captions.
The caption font list now shows every font on your computer and the ones you activated from Adobe Fonts.
When you increase highlight size, neighboring words make room instead of overlapping.
When you choose SRT, only the settings that matter for SRT are shown; design, motion and safe zone settings are hidden.
Before sending a very long animated caption track to the timeline, the panel reminds you to save your project.
The lines of a scene now share one alignment, small words stay readable and the punch word grows. Scenes are built sentence by sentence and Dynamic Text opens with a bold font.
Caption translation now translates each sentence as a whole, so no words are left untranslated and no stray fragments appear. The source language follows the language spoken in the video.
While a translation is being prepared, running and finished, the panel shows what it is doing above the settings.
In word-by-word animation and karaoke, words are laid out right to left in the correct order.
In the Animation path, the color, size and font you give a single word, plus bold and italic, now show in the output too.
In sequences at these frame rates, animated captions left one-frame gaps between words and flickered; fixed.
The grid you paint your own safe zone on could lose its lines in a small preview; they now show at every size.
In a narrow panel the font list opened cut off and the search box was hidden; fixed.
In the SRT path the preview kept showing the style you had applied in Animation; it now shows plain text.
The caption used to pop back as soon as the exit animation ended; the exit now plays through.
Settings that have no effect in Dynamic Text (karaoke fill, exit, box and the like) are no longer shown.
When you save your own style, you type its name into a field inside the panel.
When on, Cut leaves a short breath between sentences instead of removing the pause entirely, so speech doesn't sound stitched together. Optional, off by default.
If you select clips or set an In/Out range on the timeline, Cut analyzes only that part; otherwise it looks at the whole sequence.
Cut's Fast mode also uses the new speech recognition engine and graphics card acceleration; on NVIDIA cards it installs missing components by itself.
The time limit extends as the analysis progresses. The panel also shows whether the analysis runs on the graphics card or the processor.
If the analysis takes longer than expected, the panel shows which step it is waiting on; attaching a screenshot to your support request is enough.
Letters such as ş, ğ and ı showed up as question marks in Cut's transcript on some Windows computers; fixed.
Noise reduction, loudness matching, auto music ducking and voice presets like Radio and Megaphone: 37 tools, one click each.
Set the bar position and total time on the Song Card, the starting timecode and battery on the Camera Viewfinder, and the progress on the Chapter Bar.
Graphic templates now advance in even steps in 25 and 50 fps sequences too; the panel picks the file that matches your sequence's frame rate.
For Size, Speed and Neon, 50 is the normal value: you can shrink or enlarge, slow down or speed up. For rotation and position, use Premiere's own Motion controls. Templates already on your timeline stay as they are.
Text animations and interface cards ease into the frame instead of jumping in.
Templates arrive on the timeline with motion blur off. You can turn it on in Premiere's Properties panel.
The number is now a text field: values like 12,400 or 3.5 work. It used to stop at 100.
For controls such as Speed, Grain and Softness, 50 is the designed value; you can go lower or higher. Size enlarges the pattern and Angle turns both ways.
Backgrounds flow in even steps in 25 and 50 fps sequences too.
Shape transitions are also applied with the file that matches your sequence's frame rate; no stutter at 25 or 50 fps.
On the My account screen you can see how much disk space caption frames take per project and delete the ones you no longer use.
A setup that was interrupted fixes itself on the next attempt; you don't have to delete files by hand.
While large components download, the panel shows the amount received and the time elapsed, so setup no longer looks frozen.
When the panel is narrow or short, screens fit without overflowing and sliders move smoothly.
If the update needs write permission, the panel opens a permission prompt; if the update can't finish, it shows why.
Fixed an occasional "could not download" error when downloading Pro templates, backgrounds and shape transitions.
In a tall panel the gallery no longer overlaps the send button.
Fixed bugs in Cut, Studio, Motion and Captions around speed-changed clips, In/Out ranges and undo.
Click a face or box an object and the framing follows it through the clip. Review the result frame by frame and apply it to the clip in one click.
If you started the same sentence over, Cut finds the earlier attempt and offers to cut it.
Motion Tracking, Podcast and Cut download the components they need by themselves; you don't have to set up Captions first.
Automatic camera cuts to the active speaker for multi-camera and single-camera podcasts. Face tracking and vertical virtual cameras, ready for Reels.
17 new fire and light textured transitions; 157 transition effects in total.
40 new editing sounds were added to the library.
Captions and Graphics are free. macOS and Windows.
