OpenAI Sora Video Generation Model will soon be coming to Adobe Premiere Pro 👀

Adobe Premiere Pro is gearing up to incorporate the new Adobe Firefly video model, bringing a suite of advanced AI-powered features to video editing. One standout feature is the ability to add or change objects within footage simply using text prompts. Users can select a frame, write a prompt, and add anything they can imagine, such as diamonds demonstrated in the development phase. Additionally, the object removal tool uses AI-based smart masking to help editors quickly and precisely remove unwanted objects, props, or copyrighted elements across frames, ensuring edits remain non-destructive and original footage is always retrievable.

The upcoming updates also include the 'generative extend' feature, which uses AI to add frames and extend shots intelligently, maintaining the flow of the scene. For example, this feature can extend a shot of a character just by a few frames when needed. Adobe is committed to transparency with the integration of content credentials in Premiere Pro, informing users whether AI was involved in the media's creation.

Moreover, Adobe is exploring how third-party AI models can be integrated into Premiere Pro, offering editors a choice in selecting the model that best fits their footage. Early examples include the use of OpenAI's Sora model for generating B-roll and Runway AI's video model for swiftly adding new video clips to a timeline. These innovations highlight Adobe's ongoing commitment to enhancing video editing with AI, ensuring Premiere Pro remains a cutting-edge tool for creative professionals.
