Ideas for improvement of Photoshop and Premiere Pro concerning productivity, comfort and attractiveness to potential customersNew

Hey there, I am a windows user and I would like to utter some things that I mind in respectively features that I would welcome in a future version of various Adobe CC programs: I am looking forward to get a response from you in case you like my ideas for ameliorations / advancement.   Concerning Photoshop: 1.) The gradient-tool is great but why don´t you just display it as a line, with 2 dots at the end, that stays on the screen so you can adjust the gradient more comfortable. In my opinion it is laborious to re-draw the gradient over and over again just to make a tiny change because the line disappears every time.   2.) My workflow could be accelerated if I would dispose over the opportunity to press the mouse wheel and drag in order to move / execute the same function as the hand-tool (letter H) respectively space bar + left mouse key.    3.) Press "U" and draw a shape. If you want to give the shape a border it will be set to a weird spiky style border by default. Why is that and who does not change it to the first option in the drop down menu (which is the normal contour)? Wouldn´t it be smarter to set the contour to a line style by default that 99% of the people want when adding a contour to a shape the way I described right now?   4.) Talking about the path-tool (press "P"): Draw a point and curve it. After you drew a curved point it is impossible to continue with a straight line so you have to hold the "alt"-key and press on the last point in order to be able to continue with a straight line. That is super time-consuming and annoying in my opinion. Can you set it to default that you automatically continue with a straight line regardless of the circumstance if the previous line was curved or not?   5.) Why not integrating "Adobe Firefly" or at least a "text to image AI" directly into Ps?   6.) What about labeling the auxiliary lines (outside of the project frame)?   (B1. Press "T" and add a text. In the horizontal menu bar over your project frame you can set a text smoothing option f.e. sharp or windows LCD. I can´t find reliable information which option has the highest possible quality when working on an image that is destined for a social media post / YT-thumbnail. Or is the highest resolution option already set by default?)    Concerning Premiere Pro: I would like to make some proposes in order to advance the features and attractiveness of Premiere Pro. It would also be meaningful for other programs that Premiere Pro competes with because you would have to re-consider which program you want to use in the future. Let´s go:   Z1) This is my favorite one, please take a look at the attachments. I have elaborated the following: What about an overlay / generator that looks like in AT1? (Ignore the contour at the margin in the attachments - that is just the project frame improvised.) You can drag n drop or import media from your media pool or a folder and it is plugged into the cutout. You could adjust the border color, -style and -thickness as well as the border angle or disable the border in general if you do not want a separation between the videos. You could also drag the line to a desired alignment if you want to have more space for a video respectively if you don´t want to split it evenly in half. (The "S" in the images stands for screen btw.) Before it is getting plugged I could imagine a menu that appears that asks you to set an in- and output point so that you would not have to do it in hindsight in case it wasn´t pre-edited in the media pool. Attachment AT3 is just another example of a potential preset from which you could choose.Attachment AT4 indicates that you could swap the media between the cutouts. It would also be imagineable that you drew your own pattern of cutouts by customizing the grid.       A.) Introducing a "Write-On-Effect" for text: it would be advisory to handle this feature through a slider that represents the lengh of the text on a scale from 0 to 1. Then you set the keyframes. (Already exists in DaVinci Resolve, a competitor to Premiere Pro. We need this in Pr too!)   A.1) It would also be lit if the Write-On-Effect would feature a function that adds kind of a keyboard typing sound depending on the lenght of the effect. (This would be disabled by default but could be enabled.)   B.) Display a text as its contour with adjustable border width in the text options. (No need to do it in the layer style panel like in Ps.)   B.1) What about a drop down menu with pre-selected transitions for text layers to swiftly add the effect without the need to search appropriate ones in another panel. A preview of the specific animation is also imagineable when hovering over a certain transition.   C.) Adobe Firefly (or a derivative) directly integrated in Premiere Pro. Yes or No?   D.) Imagine you want to overlay a random png. What about a "MagicLayer" / hand animation that draws on the png with a stylus like in these whiteboard animation- / explainer videos?   E.) What about introducing a "clipping mask" feature (like the one from Ps) but for photos and videos in Pr. Then you could easily clip a video to a desired shape instead of using the masking tool.   F.)  What about integrating Adobe Enhance directly into Pr so you could apply it directly to your audio lanes or several samples increasing your workflow and prouctivity.   G.) What about an option to fast-export a certain video- or audio lane with 2 clicks without needing to do it laboriously. Just a quick right mouse key click on the media and a menu that ask you which lanes you want to export as which file type.   (H.) In my opinion the monitor at the left where you can sight the footage to do a pre-selection is redundant due to the existence of the main monitor at the center. Idk if there is already a way to disable this. That is the reason why I set this propose into parenthesis.)   I.) What about setting "ease to ease"  to default when using keyframes for smooth transitions.   J.) Due to frequent crashes of Pr you could introduce a "save automatically" feature that senses when Pr is about to crash to initaite a last save before the crash occurs, because loosing your progress is aggravating.   K.) I am unsure if there already exists an aspect ratio preset for an insta story / yt short / tik tok video , but what came in handy would be a temporary overlay with medium- or low opacity, that indicates where the like dislike, comment, share... - buttons will be that the editor knows where not to place sth. because it would be partly covered. When it comes to the export of the video the overlay would be neglected.   L.) Imagine you are a YouTuber and you want to place your facecam in a frame and position it adjacent to the right top corner: The clipping mask would also be applicable here, but what about a frame f.e. an iPhone frame in which you can perfectly plug your footage in so you would need to worry about the masking tool again. Or what about an electric rectangular frame for a facecam that has smoke around the border and behaves like electricity like many youtubers use in their endcards. In Ae this would necessitate the saber-plugin but I guess you know what I meant. You wouldn´t need to care about if it overlapped because it would be perfectly plugged to the SmartClippingMask - that how I would term it.         Concerning entire CC:   X2. What I don´t understand but what is surely immutable: Why were not the keyboard shortcuts assigned uniformly among the programs of the CC? "Ctrl+J" = duplicate a layer in PS, but in AE duplicating a layer requires another keyboard shortcut. If there were a program in which a shortcut wouldn´t make sense the key could have stayed unassigned f.e. "M" for "muting the audio in Audition" does not make sense in Ps (because there is no audio in Ps), so it stays unassigned but in Premiere Pro "M" would also be the shortcut for muting audio. Does this concept sound comprehensible to you?   This would have facilitated the prodecure of learning / becoming familiar with the handling of new Adobe programs (kind of a linked shortcut feature how I would label it).   X.) What about introducing a new file format (f.e. ".trmp4") that allows you to export a video with transparent background to minimize the effort for the hardware ressources due to the ultra keyer that you would need in order to remove the green background.     Kind regards

Reports and Dashboard Organization by GroupNew

Description (Situation): The list of reports and dashboards are quite long in an instance shared by many groups. It makes it difficult to locate and manage reports & dashboards, especially for a system admin that sees everything. Current Behavior (Background): There currently isn’t a way to categorize reports and dashboards based on the group ownership versus the system level so they are easier to locate. The folders that are available in the reports area do not allow for a system level management to provide consistent structure to all users.   Why is this feature important to you (Assessment): When managing a group it would be beneficial to easily locate the reports and dashboards for their specific use rather than scrolling a long list of reports. Even though some users do not see all reports, there can be system wide used reports or ones shared across groups that make it hard to locate their own. It is especially cumbersome for the system admin since they view all items in the list and cannot easily locate items to assist a particular group and it takes a long time to load the large number of reports when viewing all. There also isn’t a way to indicate system level reports that may be used across groups which can only be managed by the system admin. How would you like this feature to work (Recommendation): We would like the ability to tie a report or dashboard to a group so it shows up in their group area for easier management. It would also be great to provide a left navigation menu that would be clickable in the reports area so you could choose a set of reports by group. This should be customizable by the system admin to provide a consistent navigation for all users. (Note: we know new reporting is coming with different features, but this functionality would also be important for the new setup). In addition, it would be helpful to be able to change ownership of a report to a group so the group admins could more easily manage sets of reports used by multiple users in their area and not worry about that person leaving the organization.

Custom Form Progressive Disclosure (display logic) Management in Form DesignNew

Description - The progressive disclosure (display logic) in custom forms is challenging when trying to figure out what items are driving each question. The colored square indicators do not visually provide much detail and you need to click on to view the settings. Once in the panel you need to scroll to locate information and if there are many options then it is hard to figure out what is driving what. There are also indicators on both the right and left side (what is driving vs what is being driven) of the question but those are not clear especially to the novice user. There is a learning curve for new form designers to understand all the different symbols and why they are split.  Why is this feature important to you - We design many complex forms and need to be able to navigate the form more easily. Without all the extra clicks it is time consuming and confusing to manage the options.  How would you like the feature to work - Adding some hover clues that display the question could save steps for the user. They could see what question is driving the action without needing to click to open the panel and then scroll.  Also, the icons and their placement should be better identified for the user, so they know what they are looking at in the system.  When building a form, it would be helpful to be able to set the progressive disclosure right from the question so you don't need to go to the side panel.

Custom Form Management and OwnershipNew

Description and what we would like to see: The system doesn't provide a good way to manage the hundreds of forms in our system. We would like to see additional features added to allow a clearer definition about who owns the form. We currently get around this by sharing the form with a group and then grouping by that field. It isn't always accurate, nor does it allow for system level management to be clearly defined.  Ability to assign a form to a group who owns/manages it so ownership is apparent, and it can be viewed at the group level without needing to access the full list of forms which is daunting in a large instance Some forms are shared across groups, but we don't want group admins to think they can edit them. Instead, we would like the forms assigned to their groups to appear in their group area for management purposes. For system admins, the large number or forms are difficult to dig through to find specific forms. Assigning to a group would help in locating ones for a specific group.  Ability to assign a form used at the system level to the “system” so it can only be managed by dedicated system admins and displays that ownership is at the system level but can be used by group admins that need it (or as defined by the system admin) Add more descriptive fields suggestion which allows for more detail to be added to the who, how, what the form is used for instead of just a description field. (Related idea: Allow assigning custom form ownership to Groups - Adobe Experience League Community - 518377) Why is this feature important to you - We have a large number of forms managed by many people across nearly 60 groups. It is challenging to maintain a good record of who owns the form and know what it is used for in the system.

Add option to have an "enter/exit segment node" in a Journey.New

Description - I would like the option to have one step in a journey where customers are entering into a segment or exiting from a segment from this step. Why is this feature important to you - This would help with orchestrating the journey so customers could at some point (depending on previous steps) enter into segment as part of the journey and that segment could then be used to trigger another journey or offer. I've used this feature in other tools and I find it very handy to connect journeys to each other at different points in time. They could also enter into a segment which excludes them from all email communication for X time for example, and then exit that segment whenever the journey says so. How would you like the feature to work -  1. I would like to have a node/step in a journey that only adds customer to a segment. The segment in itself is only set to accept customers coming from a journey and doesn't have any further requirements when being built.  2. I would like to have a node/step in a journey that only exits customers from a segment. If needed this could also only apply to segments specifically built to be orchestrated from actions in journeys.   Current Behaviour - We need to create a complex segment based on actions on commincation within a journey and those don't work as well as we would like them either. The counts differ from the reporting of how many clicked in an email to how many enter the segment based on the same requirement. We can't create segments that are "empty" so of course this would have to be an option as well.
