Apple is rolling out the early version of the feature this week through new developer betas of iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia. Users can access the Distraction Control tool from the Page Menu in the Smart Search field. They then select the item on the website they want to remove. Safari will remember to remove the elements the next time they visit the site. The choice doesn’t currently sync across hardware, however, so users will have to hide the elements on each new device.

Welcome to Tool Tip Tuesday for Adobe Premiere Pro on ProVideo Coalition. Every week, we will share a new tooltip to save time when working in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I’ve recently seen questions asked in several forums where the poster didn’t know about a great new feature that was added a couple of years ago: Click and Drag to select multiple track targets in Premiere Pro. But it’s not just the track targets that can be easily toggled with this technique, but all “track header” items like track locks, audio track solo and mute, video track sync locks and track output eyeballs.
