Adobe Adds Even More AI-Powered Editing Tools and Upgrades to Premiere and After Effects

Adobe Premiere Updates

The big news for Adobe Premiere (no longer stylized as Premiere Pro, fyi) is a new AI-powered Object Mask tool which aims to make it easier than ever to create, refine, and track precise masks of complex moving subjects with a simple hover and click, while redesigned shape masks that track up to 20× faster—a new feature that will help turn masking into a more fun, and powerful tool.

Adobe is continuing to double down on its generative AI toolset, Firefly, and focus on Firefly Boards as a way for filmmakers to storyboard, fill b-roll gaps, and explore new concepts collaboratively in a more streamlined import feature with Premiere.

The other big news here is that the new Frame.io V4 panel is here and can further help users keep their edits together by bringing in comments, media, and versioning. Users can also ingest assets, share cuts, and sync notes now without ever leaving Premiere.

Adobe After Effects Updates

As for After Effects, Adobe reports that vector workflows will now be smoother than ever before, as users will now be able to import SVG files, a common file type used by graphic designers in Adobe Illustrator, as native shape layers and start animating with full vector fidelity.

Users will also now be able to design in 3D with parametric meshes that they can create from scratch right inside of After Effects. User will further be able to build and customize cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, toris, and planes.

There are new updates for Substance 3D materials, and users can now access and apply them to both native meshes and imported models to add depth and realism to their models in just a few clicks.
