Tech giant Adobe recently announced the launch of a new AI-powered audio category in Premiere Pro beta. The new feature will automatically identify and label clips with icons for dialogue, music, sound effects or ambient noise, giving editors access to the most relevant tools for each type of audio.
Adobe’s new Premiere Pro audio features aim to streamline editing workflows for pros and newcomers alike.
As per the press release, the modifications encompass revised waveforms, customizable fade handles, annotation instruments, and effect emblems.
With the new tools, Premiere Pro users with varying levels of experience will be able to edit high-quality audio more quickly and effectively. This is a significant improvement to the well-known video editing program, intended to help pros save time while also improving accessibility for beginners.
The interactive fades handles are one of the most noteworthy additions to the feature set. By dragging clip handles to generate fades in and out, editors may now quickly build unique audio transitions. Applying fades used to be a more tedious procedure.
The effect badges offer the same kind of simplification. Editors are able to see which clips have effects applied with the new visual markers on the timeline. The badges also provide quick access to effect parameters, removing the need to search around the interface.
In addition, the updated waveforms have brighter, easier-to-read colors and intelligently adjust their size in response to variations in track height. This enhanced visualization facilitates the identification of audio problems and facilitates the quick parsing of sequences.
Beyond the beta features, Adobe also disclosed that all Premiere Pro users will have access to the AI-powered Enhance Speech tool starting in February. With only one click, Enhance Speech can automatically eliminate undesirable background noise and enhance poorly recorded dialogue.
“Sound creates meaning, and adds impact to film and video – it has the power to help tell a story, and move us in ways visuals alone cannot ,” stated Ashley Still, senior vice president and general manager of Adobe Creative Cloud. “Premiere Pro makes it faster and easier to find the right tool for filmmakers, regardless of experience level, by empowering them with new workflows that make audio editing more intuitive.”
