Adobe Unveils Generative AI Video Extender

In a move to provide creative, faster, and better video editing results, Adobe an American computer software company, has unveiled a Generative AI video Extender which will be updated into the Premiere Pro.

Version 25.2 of Premiere Pro is bringing tools for locating, translating, and extending video footage out of beta and into general availability for every user.

The most exceptional announced by Adobe in October, is the Generative Extend, which is one of the first tools powered by its Firefly generative AI video model, capable of allowing users extend clips by up to two seconds, providing more options for transitions or correcting unexpected movements without having to reshoot footage.

Generative Extend can now generate clips in 4K quality, and extend ambient background audio up to ten seconds for audio alone, or two when paired with video extension though this won’t extend speech or music.

According to Adobe, Generative Extend is completely free to use for a “limited time,” after which the feature will require users to spend Firefly generative credits.

The latest version of Premiere Pro also includes the new AI-powered Search Panel that automatically recognizes the content of clips within your video library. This version helps users search for footage using text descriptions that include objects, locations, camera angles, and effects, such as looking for “close-ups of hands working in a kitchen.” Another feature, Premiere Color Management, automatically transforms log and raw files directly to SDR or HDR without lookup tables to make it easier to jump right into editing, alongside a new wide-gamut color pipeline.

Premiere Pro can now also use AI to automatically translate video captions into 27 different languages, enabling users to display multiple caption tracks simultaneously during editing. Adobe also says that the Premiere Pro update provides better speed and performance across both Apple silicon and Windows devices.

The latest version of Premiere Pro is launching alongside After Effects 25.2, which provides new HDR monitoring capabilities, animation controls, support for 3D FBX models, and animated environmental light effects.
