Adobe’s AI-Powered Apps Get Even Smarter with Upgrades
Adobe is constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) in its apps. Recently, the company announced a series of exciting upgrades that will make photo and video editing faster and more efficient than ever before. Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and other Adobe apps will all receive enhancements powered by AI.
AI-Generated Images Boost Creativity
One of the highlights of these upgrades is the introduction of generative AI image creation and editing features in Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express, and Firefly. What was once in beta has now graduated to general release, meaning every Adobe customer can take advantage of these time-saving tools to enhance their creative projects.
One notable aspect of Adobe’s AI image generation capabilities is the training of the Firefly model on licensed Adobe Stock images. In a groundbreaking move, Adobe will compensate contributors with annual bonuses. This makes Adobe apps particularly suitable for commercial work. After all, Adobe’s AI is the only model trained on paid, licensed images.
To ensure accessibility, Adobe subscribers are allocated a certain number of generative credits, ranging from 100 to 3,000, depending on their plan. Even free-tier users receive 25 credits. If you run out of credits, you can easily add more or wait for the monthly refresh.
AI Revolutionizes Video Editing
While the upgrades to Adobe’s image editing apps are impressive, the most exciting updates come in the realm of video editing. Premiere Pro now features AI-powered transcription, enabling text edits to be seamlessly reflected on the timeline. This paradigm-shifting technology goes even further by allowing users to remove filler words and pauses with just a few clicks. Users can also customize the length of pauses, making it incredibly easy to clean up long videos.
Additionally, Premiere Pro’s AI speech enhancement capabilities can salvage poor audio quality. When forced to rely on a camera microphone instead of a lavalier, the AI can resynthesize the voice, eliminating background noise and significantly improving speech quality. Importantly, the original audio remains available, allowing users to mix in ambient sound as needed.
The updates to Premiere Pro are not solely AI-focused. The timeline performance has been boosted up to five times faster, and color controls have been enhanced. Users will also appreciate the new Quicktime Gamma fix and the ability to back up rendered effects for automatic recovery, fulfilling some of the most common requests.
After Effects, another flagship Adobe app, receives a notable upgrade in rotoscoping capabilities. AI-powered selection and masking dramatically speed up the time-consuming process. Instead of painstakingly tracing each frame, a few quick brush strokes are enough for the AI to automatically complete the rotoscoping across multiple frames.
If you work with 3D models in After Effects, you’ll be pleased with the new photo-real rendering capabilities. This enhanced feature comes with GPU acceleration and offers precise control over lighting, as well as the ability to import environment maps and Substance 3D assets and effortlessly incorporate 2D elements.
Users of Frame.io, Adobe’s collaborative review and approval tool, will find the new side-by-side review process highly beneficial. With this feature, clients can easily compare two versions of a project and leave comments to share additional thoughts and feedback.
Beta versions of Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Frame.io are currently available for users to explore and test. Simply head to the Creative Cloud app to find them.
Adobe’s continuous integration of AI into their apps demonstrates their commitment to providing innovative solutions that empower creatives. With these upgrades, Adobe further cements its position as a leader in the industry, providing cutting-edge tools to help unleash artists’ full potential. So, get ready to take your creativity to new heights with Adobe’s AI-powered apps!
