Adobe previews AI-powered search and caption translation for Premiere Pro at Sundance

Here are some moreTik Tok Video news for you: Adobe Premiere Pro beta is getting some new AI-powered features. Wednesday Adobe Announce A new Media Intelligence panel uses advanced machine learning to make smarter searches in your clip library, plus a new tool that can translate your captions into 17 different languages. The features will be rolled out this week in Premiere Pro beta ahead of a potential wider release in the future.

One of the first things you learn when you start playing around with video editing is the importance of naming your clips and organizing the files in your library, so you can find and retrieve specific clips later and avoid the dreaded “Media Not Found” error messages. But as anyone who has done it knows, it is a tedious and time-consuming task. This is where the new Media Intelligence Committee can help.

Media Intelligence is a type of advanced search panel that aims to make it easier to find specific clips. You can still search by file name and location, but Media Intelligence can recognize and pull out specific elements in the clips — themes like “skaters” or artistic elements like lens flare, or both, clips of people skating where there’s lens flare. The idea is to make it easier and faster to find the clips you need, even if they’re not named after the topic or include the keyword you use to search.

Media Intelligence uses clip metadata, including shooting date and camera type – meaning you can be really specific in your searches. It can also highlight sections of longer videos, so if you want one question from a recorded interview, you can search for it without having to scan the entire video for that one part.

Media Intelligence runs locally on your computer and does not read or store information about your clips. Adobe does not train its AI models on its users’ content.

Automatic captions in Premiere Pro are also upgraded to include subtitles. Adobe said it’s heard from users that they want the ability to add captions in multiple languages ​​to the same clip, and the new tool lets you do that without leaving Premiere. You can actually automatically create transcripts of your videos, and from there, you can add captions. With the new beta feature, you can transcribe these captions into 17 different languages, including Spanish, German, French, and Japanese.

A few other smaller updates were also announced this week. Frame.io is now compatible with two new cameras (Canon C80 and C400), and After Effects beta is also getting improved buffering and HDR support. Adobe made the announcement ahead of the Sundance Film Festival, where 60% of this year’s films used Premiere Pro during edits, according to a Sundance Institute survey.
