The most headline-grabbing feature of the CC 2018 release was the introduction of the "Essential Graphics" panel. Prior to this version, creating complex text animations and motion graphics often required editors to switch between Premiere and Adobe After Effects. CC 2018 bridged this gap by allowing users to create titles and graphics directly within the editing workspace. More importantly, it introduced support for Motion Graphics templates (.mogrt files). This feature revolutionized workflow efficiency, allowing editors to create reusable templates for lower thirds, end screens, and captions that could be easily customized without altering the underlying design integrity. This democratized motion graphics, making high-end titling accessible to editors who specialized in pacing rather than visual effects.
Following the acquisition of Mettle SkyBox, Adobe integrated dedicated 360-degree/VR editing tools. This included seamless VR transitions and effects like "Plane to Sphere" to prevent distortion when adding 2D images to 360 footage.
: This version introduced the ability to have multiple projects open simultaneously, allowing editors to easily switch between them and drag assets (clips, sequences, bins) from one project to another.
The 2018 update was centered on streamlining workflows for both professional filmmakers and social media creators.
