• Track a spot or a plane, and blur facesClip › Masks and Tracking has Track a Spot in the Video…, plane tracking for screens and walls, and Blur Faces…, which hides every face with a blur or a mosaic.
• Master clip effectsMove a clip's effects to its master clip, and every clip of that media item, on every timeline, uses them. Useful for a LUT on log footage or a denoise.

• More Premiere Pro effects: video and audio18 more video effects and 14 more audio effects with the names you know from Premiere Pro. Most are Pro; the basic audio tools are in every plan.
• Copy and paste effects between clipsCopy one effect, several, or all of them with their keyframes, then paste onto every selected clip at once, as in Premiere Pro.

• Track points: follow a spot with titles and effectsClick a spot in the Program Monitor to make a track point, then attach titles, graphics and effect centres to it. The markers never appear in renders.
• Focus Areas: zoom in on or highlight part of the picture with the Area ToolDraw an area over anything at the playhead, then zoom in on it, highlight it or cut it out while the rest of the picture dims. Your clip is never changed.
• Suggested Focus Areas, Do It for Me, and zooming one caption or titlePick the Area Tool and the app outlines the people, faces and objects at the playhead. Click them in the order you want, or let Do It for Me lay out the whole sequence.
