Adobe Premiere Pro 2026: video editing with revised masks

Adobe Premiere Pro 2026 is Adobe's video editing application in version 26.x for Windows. Adobe now markets the application under the name Adobe Premiere. It covers the workflow from reviewing footage through editing, colour correction and audio to export, and is suitable for corporate films, social media videos, documentaries and longer productions. This version is aimed at video producers, agencies, content creators and companies that edit their videos themselves.

Editing, colour and audio

At the centre is the multitrack Timeline, on which video, audio, titles and graphics are arranged on top of each other. Editing tools such as Ripple, Roll, Slip and Slide change edit points without creating gaps or requiring subsequent clips to be moved by hand. For footage shot with several cameras, for example at interviews or events, there is multi-camera editing, in which you switch between the synchronised angles. Extensive camera footage can be edited using proxy files as lighter working copies and then output in full quality.

With Lumetri Color, exposure, white balance, contrast and colour mood are corrected, and scopes help match several shots. Audio is mixed via clip and track settings, and titles, graphics and captions are created directly in the project. For export, resolution, frame rate, codec and bitrate are saved as a preset, so recurring formats for the web, social media or clients remain consistent.

Masks and tracking in version 26.x

With version 26.0, Adobe revised the masks. Rectangle, ellipse and pen masks are created from the toolbar, can be rotated, scaled and feathered, and combined using blend modes. Tracking follows a subject in both directions, takes 3D perspective into account if required and shows the result in a live preview. This makes it possible, for example, to make a face unrecognisable or brighten a single area of the image selectively. Also new is the Object Mask: people or objects are detected with a mouse click, masked and tracked through the clip. Adobe introduced this feature in version 26.0 as a beta, and the underlying model runs on your own computer.
