Generative Extend in Premiere Pro: Adobe’s AI Tool That Could Change Video Editing

Adobe Premiere Pro’s new AI tool could save video editors hours of time

Adobe has released Photoshop 25.9, the latest public beta of its image-editing software, adding a range of generative AI capabilities powered by its new Firefly Image 3 AI model. One of the first AI tools released was generative fill in Photoshop, which lets creators fill specific shapes or areas with AI-generated imagery. Now, generative fill is one of the most popular Photoshop tools, on par with the crop tool. Of the 11 billion images created using Adobe’s AI model Firefly, 7 billion of them were generated in Photoshop. Put another way, an average of 23 million images a day are made using generative fill, Nielson said. Part of the appeal of Adobe’s updates is that they are legitimate use cases for generative AI for professionals.

The possibility of “losing a generation of artists,” as she put it, is worrisome. There’s no shortage of experts arguing about whether AI is capable of producing art, but artists have already lost jobs in favor of AI, especially in entry-level or freelance positions. Job experts predict that AI is likely to reduce the number of overall job opportunities as it gets better at automating more menial tasks.

Lightroom’s generative remove has better object detection and selection to remove photobombers and other intrusive elements. One is the text and image to video generation that Adobe previewed last month, accessible in the Firefly web app at firefly.adobe.com. This enables users to create five-second, 720p-resolution videos from natural-language text prompts. It’s also possible to generate video using still images as a prompt, meaning a photograph or illustration could be used to create b-roll footage. Adobe’s Firefly cloud service, which provides access to AI-based design tools, is also receiving new video editing capabilities. One of the additions is a feature that generates five-second clips based on text prompts.

Adobe’s Firefly ‘Bulk Create’ lets users edit thousands of images at once

We actively engage with policymakers and industry groups to help shape policy that balances innovation with ethical considerations. Our discussions with policymakers focus on our approach to AI and the importance of developing technology to enhance human experiences. Regulators seek practical solutions to address current challenges and by presenting frameworks like our AI Ethics principles—developed collaboratively and applied consistently in our AI-powered features—we foster more productive discussions.

It is fascinating how Adobe discusses and frames generative AI tools compared to its competitors. Unlike companies like OpenAI and Stability AI, Adobe has been serving creative professionals for decades — Adobe didn’t just pop up when the AI door opened. Adobe’s 30-plus years of creating tools for visual artists means its core audience is not universally champing at the bit for more generative AI technology; many are concerned about how AI may harm their business and the art space at large. Adobe pledges to attach Content Credentials to assets produced within its applications so users can see how it was made and plans to apply its approaches to the planned integration of third-party AI models. As you can see when comparing the sets of images in the figures above and below… you can have great influence over your set of generated images through this control.

Expand videos that are too short without reshooting

While Generative Extend might give them the footage they need, other creatives may be less enthused. It may mean that reshoots are no longer required, taking days of work (and income) away from the cast and crew. Generative Extend is a Premiere Pro feature that Adobe previewed earlier this year. It enables editors to add generated footage and audio to the start or end of a clip. Adobe says the tool can also correct eyelines and actions that change unexpectedly in the middle of a shot. Generative AI is already reshaping digital experiences in India, particularly in ecommerce and travel.
