Adobe on Wednesday announced new features for its video editing software and cloud-sharing platform. These features are being rolled out to the latest beta builds of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects as well as Frame.io. Premiere Pro is getting two new artificial intelligence (AI) features that will make it easier for users to find the right footage from their library and add AI-generated caption translations. The company claims that these features are aimed at reducing boredom for video professionals.
Adobe starts testing two AI features on Premiere Pro
The company shares details of two new AI features coming to Adobe Premiere Pro blog postThey are currently available in the latest beta version of the application, which means users on the stable release channel will have to wait for a while until the features are rolled out. Adobe has not yet announced when these features may be introduced to a broader user base.
The first is a new search panel that uses generative AI (the company calls it media intelligence) to analyze natural language text signals and can find the right footage from a user’s library. Adobe said the feature can be used to either describe scenes in the footage, spoken words, or embedded metadata such as shoot date or camera type to find the right clip. Users can also use a combination of these metrics to further refine their search.
For example, according to Adobe, users can type in “person skating with lens flare” and see relevant footage matching the description. The same applies to typing any words spoken in the clip.
Additionally, the beta version of Premiere Pro is also getting AI-generated caption translation feature. The AI ââtool can automatically translate captions in 17 languages ââthat can be added to videos in separate caption tracks. Users can have multiple tracks visible at the same time to efficiently edit a video that contains audio in a different language.
New AI features in Adobe After Effects and Frame.io
There are also two new features coming to Adobe After Effects beta. The first is a new caching system that allows users to preview and playback a composition without stopping for caching. This is being done because the new system uses both the device’s RAM and high-performance attached hard disk to reduce latency.
HDR monitoring is also being added to the platform. After Effects will now support Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) encoders for HDR so users can more accurately visualize their creations.
Finally, the Camera to Cloud (C2C) feature of Frame.io, the company’s cloud-sharing platform, now supports Canon’s C80 and C400 cameras. These are the first Canon cameras to support the cloud platform. It joins other supported brands including Red, Fujifilm and Panasonic.
The integration allows users who shoot video with these cameras to automatically upload proxy files to a cloud server so that video editing professionals can access them. Specifically, while proxy files can be used to edit footage in Premiere Pro, they are required to be interlinked with the actual footage before exporting the video.
