Adobe Announces Adobe Premiere 26.2

Yesterday, Adobe announced the latest version of Premiere (26.2). Here are the highlights.

• Premiere now includes a new set of Film Impact–powered effects and transitions, including Channel Blur, Gradient, and Noise effects, along with dynamic 3D Spinback and Slide transitions for enhanced compositing, texture, and motion design.
• Object mask edges can now be refined with new edge quality controls. Choose between Sharp and Smooth modes to better match your subject and footage.
• The source monitor now displays audio waveforms at the same time as video playback.
• Use the new Sequence Index to view and navigate complex sequences easily using a searchable, spreadsheet-style layout.
• Premiere now uses improved path tracking and search logic to automatically locate and reconnect offline media, even across drives and platforms.
• Mute all audio in your sequence at once with Global Mute, without affecting clip or track settings.
• Quickly locate markers with enhanced search using names, comments, or colors, and jump directly to their position in your clip or sequence.
• Use Export Settings to apply Content Credentials to your exported videos, including details like linked social media accounts and generative AI usage preferences.
