Adobe just launched an on-device AI Object Mask tool for Premiere, letting editors track complex moving subjects with a simple hover and click. Redesigned shape masks track up to 20x faster, and editors can directly import assets from Firefly Boards. After Effects 26.0 also launched with native 3D parametric meshes and variable font animation.
Adobe just released Premiere Pro 25.2, making Generative Extend generally available to stretch video clips by up to two seconds in 4K without reshooting. The feature is free for a limited time before moving to a credit system. The update also adds AI-powered text search for clips and automatic caption translation in 27 languages.
Adobe just rolled out major beta updates across its video suite ahead of the Sundance Film Festival. Premiere Pro gains on-device, AI-powered natural language footage search and 17-language caption translation, while After Effects overhauls its caching system to let older hardware preview complex comps smoothly. Finding needle-in-a-haystack B-roll just got a lot faster.
Adobe just introduced Text-Based Editing in Premiere Pro, turning rough cuts into a simple copy-and-paste job. Powered by Adobe Sensei, the tool automatically transcribes footage so editors can search keywords and rearrange dialogue text to update timeline clips directly. It is currently in public beta ahead of a planned May release.
