Premiere Pro can use A.I. to revert a cut video back into separate clips

Adobe’s artificial intelligence platform is now smart enough to automatically carve up an edited video back into separate clips again. In an update rolled out on September 15, Adobe introduced Scene Edit Detection as well as broadcast HDR tools into Premiere Pro, the company’s flagship video editing platform. The update, which also includes some tweaks to After Effects, was announced during the virtual IBC Showcase trade show.

Scene Edit Detection uses Adobe Sensei to recognize and break down clips in pre-stitched videos for faster editing. Premiere Pro’s timeline is organized by clips and scenes, but the new feature separates video clips that were edited and stitched together before being added to the timeline. The option, available in the drop-down menu after right-clicking on a clip, automatically applies scene markers, but editors can also choose to add cuts and create a bin of sub-clips to use the separated video in other projects.

The tool is designed for working with pre-edited video, a scenario that may arise when working on a team, re-using old footage in new projects, or working with some stock videos. The feature also works with editing Zoom videos, Adobe said, placing a  marker at each new PowerPoint slide to easily jump to a specific topic.

Launching in beta only, Premiere Pro is trying out a new quick export option, a shortened version of the export process that offers access to the most frequently used settings including full-size exports and presets for reduced file sizes. The quick export is a public beta, available to users that opt-in to the Creative Cloud beta.

Premiere Pro also sees new broadcast HDR options with the Rec2100 HLG color profile. The update also includes automatic color conversion with manual overrides, as well as support for Apple ProRes and Sony XVAC.

The IBC updates also include changes to Adobe After Effects. 3D Transform Gizmos are different modes that are designed for moving through scenes faster, while also making more precise adjustments when moving objects and layers. The camera tool is also now split into three, with new tools for orbiting, panning, and dollying. Adobe says the new navigation is designed to be both more intuitive and flexible. Both After Effects updates are launching first to the public beta. Adobe hasn’t yet shared an expected launch for these changes to all users.

How Nintendo could use A.I. to bring 4K gaming to the Switch Pro

Rumors have been swirling about a forthcoming new console from Nintendo, possibly called the Switch Pro. It is said to be a bit larger and more powerful, but now, we're hearing about a possible feature that could be a changer for Nintendo's handheld/console hybrid.

While Nintendo's console contemporaries -- like the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and modern gaming PCs -- can game in 4K, that's not the case with the Switch. It currently maxes out at the native 720p of the screen when in handheld mode, or up to 1080p when docked and connected to a TV. The screen resolution isn't expected to change with the Switch Pro, but Nintendo may be using an Nvidia technology to better compete with its competitors.

Ring's latest addition to its lineup of smart home security devices demonstrates exactly where the company is headed. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 is a new, premium video doorbell with a host of next-generation technology to help keep your home safer than ever. The camera features 3D motion detection, 1,536p video, a Bird's Eye View feature, and customizable privacy.

Through the use of a radar sensor, the 3D motion detection technology provides more accurate and precise identification of when a motion event begins. The sensors measure an object's distance from the camera, which makes it easier to exclude certain high-traffic areas. For example, if your doorbell faces a sidewalk, you can set it so that only motion closer to your home triggers an alert.

Native Apple M1 versions of Adobe Premiere Pro, Premiere Rush, and Audition are now available for beta testing. Though many features for Premiere Pro are still rolling out in phases,  the three key creative and editing apps will now run a bit better and more efficiently in terms of power on the new Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air.

This first Apple M1 version and public beta of Adobe Premiere Pro includes all the core editing functions and workflows, like color, graphics, and audio, as well as such features as productions and multicam. You should also be aware that Premiere Pro Beta uses the new captions workflow, which requires you to upgrade the project file format. You should create a copy of your files for the beta testing to avoid compatibility issues. All common file formats are supported in the beta, including H.264, HEVC, and ProRes, but there are a list of known issues to deal with.
