Adobe Premiere Pro now lets you find videos by their description

Search in Premiere Pro has been updated with AI-powered visual recognition, allowing users to find videos by describing the contents of the footage. It’s just one of many quality-of-life features offered by Adobe Plus Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Frame.io Which aims to save video editors time on their projects.

Users can enter search terms such as “person skating with lens flare” to find corresponding clips within their media library. Adobe says Media Intelligence Artificial Intelligence It can automatically recognize “objects, locations, camera angles, and more” along with spoken words — provided there is text attached to the video. The feature doesn’t detect audio or identify specific people, but it can scan any metadata attached to video files, allowing it to fetch clips based on shooting dates, locations, and camera types. The media analysis runs on the device, so it doesn’t require an internet connection, and Adobe stresses that users’ video content is not used to train any AI models.

This is launching alongside the translation feature for video captions that supports 17 languages. Multiple caption tracks can be open simultaneously in Premiere Pro to make it easier to view and edit multiple subtitles at once. The media intelligence-enhanced search panel and caption translations are available starting today at Premiere Pro trial versionand is available to anyone with an active Creative Cloud or Premiere Pro subscription.

The application is no longer limited to storing all displayed frames in your system’s memory – instead, Both random access memory (RAM) and disk cache are used to store your computer They are used to improve performance. Adobe says this will allow older desktop and laptop computers to play entire compositions “without having to pause for caching or rendering.” HDR support and an updated buffering system are both available After Effects Beta.

Finally, the Canon C80 and C400 cameras can now be used with Frame.io’s Camera to Cloud integration, which allows you to automatically upload files to the Frame.io app directly from the camera. Support for this was rolled out in Canon’s December firmware update, which users will need to install before using the feature.
