Adobe launches Premiere Pro’s generative AI video extender

Adobe is updating Premiere Pro with AI-powered features that aim to provide creatives with faster and better video editing results. Version 25.2 of Premiere Pro is launching today, bringing tools for locating, translating, and extending video footage out of beta and into general availability for every user.

The most notable is Generative Extend, which Adobe announced in October as one of the first tools powered by its Firefly generative AI video model. The feature allows users to extend clips by up to two seconds, providing more options for transitions or correcting unexpected movements without having to reshoot footage. Generative Extend can now generate clips in 4K quality and will extend ambient background audio — up to ten seconds for audio alone, or two when paired with video extension — though this won’t extend speech or music.

Generative Extend is completely free to use for a “limited time,” according to Adobe, after which the feature will require users to spend Firefly generative credits. Creative Cloud subscriptions provide a monthly allocation of credits ranging between 25 to 1,000 credits depending on the plan. An additional Firefly credit subscription is also available starting from $10, which grants 2,000 credits per month. Adobe has not specified how many credits the Generative Extend feature will eventually consume, but says that “price will vary based on the format, frame rate, and resolution of your video.”

The latest version of Premiere Pro also includes the new AI-powered Search panel that automatically recognizes the content of clips within your video library. This enables users to search for footage using text descriptions that include objects, locations, camera angles, and effects, such as looking for “close-ups of hands working in a kitchen.” Another feature, Premiere Color Management, automatically transforms log and raw files directly to SDR or HDR without lookup tables to make it easier to jump right into editing, alongside a new wide-gamut color pipeline.

Premiere Pro can now also use AI to automatically translate video captions into 27 different languages, with users able to display multiple caption tracks simultaneously during editing. Adobe also says that the Premiere Pro update provides better speed and performance across both Apple silicon and Windows devices.

The latest version of Premiere Pro is launching alongside After Effects 25.2, which provides new HDR monitoring capabilities, animation controls, support for 3D FBX models, and animated environmental light effects. A new High Performance Preview Playback feature also makes it easier to preview longer compositions thanks to a new caching system that utilizes both RAM and local disks, rather than RAM alone.

Android Addition Opens FIDO Password Killer to Billions

The FIDO Alliance hammered another nail into the passwords coffin with the announcement that devices running Android 7.0 or higher will be compatible with FIDO2.
