As the annual Sundance Utah Film Festival approaches, Adobe has announced its winter updates to Creative Cloud.
These updates aim to reduce the workload for video professionals by introducing new features in Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Frame.io, streamlining video editing and effects workflows like never before.

Premiere Pro
Currently in Beta testing, the update for Premiere Pro will feature an AI-driven Media Intelligence and Search Panel to help users locate the right clips quickly.
This new panel allows post-production artists to customize a system for reviewing, logging, and finding the appropriate clips, enabling them to assemble their edits efficiently.
The Media Intelligence and Search Panel searches based on criteria such as objects, locations, camera angles, and embedded metadata like shoot dates and camera types.
Editors can also use natural-language search terms to guide the AI in its searches.
Moreover, the system operates without the need for an internet connection, allowing for rapid analysis and delivering results entirely within the local environment.
Adobe assures that all content will not be used to train any of its AI models.

Adobe has also introduced a new text-based Caption Translation tool in Premiere Pro, a feature that users have frequently requested.
This tool offers accurate translations into 17 different languages, enabling multiple caption tracks in various languages to be displayed simultaneously.
After Effects
In Adobe After Effects, the company has upgraded the caching system with a modern architecture that utilizes both the computer’s RAM and hard disk space to preview and playback larger projects more quickly and efficiently.
This upgrade allows older systems to play entire compositions in real time without lengthy render times.
Once the composition is cached, users can playback files instantly while also benefiting from improved accuracy when importing and exporting high dynamic range (HDR) content.
Additionally, After Effects will now include HDR monitoring, which displays projects in both PQ and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) with precise and improved video scopes, calibrated and synced regardless of the display device.
Whether on a laptop or a reference monitor, viewing in HDR is as straightforward as viewing in SDR.
Frame.io
Frame.io has also been updated to support Canon cameras with new camera-to-cloud integration for Canon C80 and C400 cinema cameras.
This update, running alongside firmware updates released last December, enables the automatic upload of proxy files to Frame.io, enhancing speed and image quality. Premiere Pro’s support for raw camera formats allows users to relink raw files before final delivery.
C80 and C400 users simply need a Frame.io account, a network connection, and a straightforward six-digit pairing code to begin uploading within minutes.
Availability
Although the new features for Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects are still in Beta and subject to fine-tuning, Adobe remains open to feedback on all proposed features.
The updates are available now through Adobe’s Premiere Pro Beta Page.
