- Scope: Desktop application for Windows and macOS; relevant to video editors, post-production teams, and content creators.
- AI-Powered: The tool uses Adobe Sensei (Adobe’s AI engine) to automatically transcribe dialogue in your video.

Quick setup recommendations
- System: Use a modern multi-core CPU (Intel i7/Ryzen 7 or better), 32+ GB RAM for 4K workflows, NVMe SSD for media/cache, and a recent NVIDIA/AMD GPU with up-to-date drivers.
- Scratch disks: Put Media Cache and Preview files on a fast SSD separate from OS when possible.
- Project settings: Match sequence settings to your master footage (frame size, fps) to avoid unnecessary rendering. Use proxy workflows for large-res clips.
Previously, Team Projects required a somewhat clunky setup and separate window management. With version 15, collaboration features are now built natively into the app. adobe premiere pro 15 update
