## Key features

- **Timeline editing:** Three-point editing on a professional timeline, with footage from nearly any camera and export to formats including H.264, HEVC and Apple ProRes.
- **Text-Based Editing and captions:** AI transcribes footage on import so a rough cut can be built by copying and pasting text. Captions can be translated into 18 languages.
- **Generative Extend and Object Mask:** Generative Extend uses Firefly to add frames and ambient sound to a clip. Object Mask selects a subject with a click and tracks it.
- **Media Intelligence search:** Describe a clip in everyday language and the Search panel finds it by the objects, locations and framing it contains.
- **Color and audio tools:** Color wheels, curves and video scopes for grading. Enhance Speech cleans up dialogue and removes background noise, and Remix retimes music to fit.
- **Premiere on mobile:** A free phone app with a multi-track timeline, auto-captions and background removal. Paid desktop members can continue mobile projects on desktop.
