Adobe is working on a generative AI video model for its Firefly family that will bring new tools to its Premiere Pro video editing platform. These new Firefly tools — alongside some proposed third-party integrations with Runway, Pika Labs, and OpenAI’s Sora models — will allow Premiere Pro users to generate video and add or remove objects using text prompts (just like Photoshop’s Generative Fill feature) and extend the length of video clips.
Unlike many of Adobe’s previous Firefly-related announcements, no release date — beta or otherwise — has been established for the company’s new video generation tools, only that they’ll roll out “this year.” And while the creative software giant showcased what its own video model is currently capable of in an early video demo, its plans to integrate Premiere Pro with AI models from other providers isn’t a certainty.
Adobe instead calls the third-party AI integrations in its video preview an “early exploration” of what these may look like “in the future.” The idea is to provide Premiere Pro users with more choice, according to Adobe, allowing them to use models like Pika to extend shots or Sora or Runway AI when generating B-roll for their projects. Adobe also says its Content Credentials labels can be applied to these generated clips to identify which AI models have been used to generate them.
The flare-up in the first quarter seemed unusual, but inflation is back on a good trend. It looks like it will eventually get back to a 2% pace. There has been some slowing in employment and other key economic readings. The Federal Reserve says they are more balanced now, between the risks with inflation and employment. This gives them a reason to start to rate.
Where are you on jobless claims when you say that the labor market is breaking? The four-week moving average of the weekly data is 235,000. It is right up against a peak of 2023 of about 250,000. What is the statistic in your head where jobless claims signal a change?
Adobe's move to bring these new tools to Premiere Pro means more choices for users. The integration with third-party models may provide even more creative options. This brings new possibilities to video editing, making it easier to create and modify clips with simple text prompts. It is an exciting time for content creators who use Premiere Pro, as they will soon have more powerful tools at their fingertips.
