Ahead of the NAB 2023 broadcast industry show, Adobe has highlighted key new features in their video apps. These include AI-powered text-based editing, significant GPU acceleration, and new ways to collaborate efficiently in the newest version of Premiere Pro (which was, by the way, used to edit over 60% of films at the last Sundance Festival).
Text-based editing isn't the same as speech-to-text; Premiere Pro can already do that (though has now learned some more languages). It instead means that an editor can access the transcript and cut and paste parts, just like a word processor, and have Premiere Pro adjust the timeline accordingly, slashing the time it takes to prepare a rough cut. If you're not already an Adobe Cloud user, you can try Premiere Pro for free.
