AI is about to change video production forever

Generative AI is just starting to break into the world of video, but some new features in Premiere Pro are taking things to the next level. Adobe has announced a host of generative AI video tools that it will be introducing to the Premiere Pro video editing suite throughout the year, and they look pretty incredible.

The brand is working to expand on its own AI model, Adobe Firefly, which started as a text-to-image generator last March and has quickly expanded its AI brand across several editing mediums.

Now, Adobe will diversify video-generating functionality into the model. While the technology is still in development, Adobe is collaborating with companies that have respected third-party generative AI models, including OpenAI, Runway, and Pika to inundate Premiere Pro with the best AI-based video editing features.

The video editing features are intended for professional-level video creation and production workflow, and will join Adobe’s current family of Firefly models, which include image, vector, design, and text effects. Some of the new AI video editing features coming to Adobe Premiere Pro include:

  • Generative Extend: allows editors to add frames to a clip to make them longer. This is beneficial for timing and transitions.
  • Object Addition and Removal: allows editors to select and remove or replace objects in a frame with ease, including changing an actor’s clothing style.
  • Text to Video: allows editors to use a text query to generate media for Premiere Pro, which can include storyboards, B-roll, or live-action footage.

In addition to the specific features, Adobe is also allowing editors the ability to select which third-party models work best with their footage within Premiere Pro. The brand also plans to include content credentials, which will tag the media as AI-generated and specify what model was used to create the content.

“Adobe is reimagining every step of video creation and production workflow to give creators new power and flexibility to realize their vision,” Adobe Creative Product Group Senior Vice President Ashley Still said in a statement.

“By bringing generative AI innovations deep into core Premiere Pro workflows, we are solving real pain points that video editors experience every day, while giving them more space to focus on their craft,” she added.

Google just changed how it grades the AI models you use for Android coding
Android Bench has a new testing framework and eight new models, so the rankings you remember are now out of date.

Google just changed how it measures which AI models are best at writing Android app code, and the update has shuffled the rankings developers use to pick their tools. The company's Android Bench leaderboard, which launched in March, now runs on a new testing system called Harbor. Google says this replaces the older, more generic testing tool it used before, and gives a better read on how models perform on real Android tasks, like updating old code to Jetpack Compose or handling wearable device networking.

ChatGPT is coming for one of Google’s smartest Chrome features
OpenAI brings ChatGPT to Chrome to challenge Google's Gemini Side Panel
OpenAI

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT beyond its website with the launch of a new Chrome extension that can understand the contents of the webpage you're viewing. The extension allows users to ask questions about a page, summarize articles, explain complex concepts, and even kick off longer AI-powered tasks without leaving their browser.

The move positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini in Chrome, which introduced similar context-aware browsing features earlier this year. While both tools aim to bring AI directly into web browsing, they take slightly different approaches to productivity and automation.

This open-source Mac app finds the junk files your deleted apps leave behind
Uninstally removes apps properly, leftovers and all
Uninstally macOS app UI

Uninstalling apps on macOS is usually very easy. You drag an app to the Trash, empty it, and move on. The annoying part is that many apps still leave residue behind, including support files, caches, preferences, containers, and logs. I have always found that frustrating, especially when old app data keeps sitting around long after the app itself is gone.

AppCleaner by FreeMacSoft has been the popular go-to option for this for years, and it still does the job well. But I recently came across a new open-source alternative called Uninstally by Codenta, which solves the same basic problem. It removes Mac apps along with the support files, caches, preferences, containers, logs, and other leftovers they usually leave behind.
