Adobe Premiere Pro video editor gets boosted features for smarter editing workflows along with enhanced tools for motion design elsewhere.
Premiere Pro Is Boosted
Adobe announced on January 22nd, ahead of the Sundance Film Festival 2025, that it will be bringing new AI-powered features to Premiere Pro (beta). The Adobe video editing tool isn’t shy of introducing new features, after 2024’s announcement ofPremiere Pro’s upcoming generative AI video tool, powered by Adobe Firefly.
Along with some workflow-boosting features in Premiere Pro, Adobe also adds innovative tools to After Effects and in Frame.io to elevate filmmakers of the future.
Frame.io is Adobe’s file management system, built initially for a focus on video footage, but now used for images and documents too. New features include further Frame.io camera-to-cloud support, allowing filmmakers and content creators to film scenes and send the footage from their camera directly to their Frame.io library.
After Effects users receive innovations in the form of improved caching and HDR support.
Intelligent Search Using Keywords
When editing videos, you’ll likely be faced with countless raw video footage files, among trimmed clips, different angles, and other files you may include in your editing. It’s hard to find the file you need when there are so many to search through.
If you work within a team or temporarily working with new people, there may be differences of how to store or name the files, making it practically impossible to search with logic.
Premiere Pro’s media intelligence and search panel allows you to search for footage and files using keywords. Not only can these keywords relate to the file’s title—which seems too obvious to be a feature worth talking about—but they can also search from the video footage’s metadata. Now that’s what I’d consider intelligent search powers.
You can search for video files using location names, descriptions of content in the video—for example, “girl with the dog”—dates and times, dialogue, and even camera angles.
This search tool will save frustration and time and help you claw back minutes or even hours during your editing workflow. It is much easier to describe the footage you’re looking for than it is trying to recall the time, date, or location it was captured. This feature will boost workflow for larger teams, allowing everyone to be as productive as possible. TheAI tools being announced by Adobeare exciting, even if they’re just in beta for now.
AI-Powered Caption Translation
The second major feature of Premiere Pro’s updated tools is an AI-powered caption translator. Premiere Pro can translate your captions in up to 17 different languages, allowing you and your team to save time on manually translating and applying the nuanced difference of languages.
Not only are captions important for accessibility and connecting with your audience, but with the global push of video content, translation captions allow you to reach more people, regardless of borders. Using captions allows your video content to remain authentic, compared to dubbed audio or AI-model replacements seen more commonly.
Combined, all Adobe’s added motion features can improve collaborative workflows in teams of filmmakers, video editors, and motion designers. Premiere Pro’s AI caption translation and intelligent search features are available in Premiere Pro (Beta). Adobe Creative Cloud users can download Adobe beta apps from the Creative Cloud.
