QUICK BITES

Adobe's jumping on the generative AI train, and they're bringing some sweet new toys to Premiere Pro. We’re getting a look at tools to add/remove objects, extend clips, and even create custom B-roll footage from scratch.

What is going on here?

Adobe to add generative AI video features to Premiere Pro later this year.

What does this mean?

Adobe's betting big that integrating generative AI with video editing workflows is where value lies, at least in the near future.

Here’s what we are getting:

  • Generative Extend: need a few extra seconds of a shot—no problem, AI generates those frames.

  • Object Addition/Removal: Distracting object in the background? Boom, gone. Need a hat on the set? Blink and it’s there.

  • Generative B-Roll: Looking for a B-roll that perfectly fits your vibe? Describe it, AI makes it happen.

While their own “Firefly video AI” model is in the works, Adobe's open to integrating others too in this first batch of gen AI features for Premier Pro. You can select models from OpenAI, Pika, and Runway for these features.

Why should I care?

Think about the time you waste on tedious tasks, hunting for the right stock footage, or manually removing things in post. These tools erase those pain points. Plus, imagine the possibilities for experimentation and unique concepts that were just too time-consuming before. We're talking about unlocking a whole new level of storytelling.

QUICK BITES

Remember Poe? The AI chatbot by Quora’s CEO Adam D’Angleo. It announced a new feature where you can chat with multiple AI bots in a single chat thread.

What is going on here?

Multi-bot chat is now live on Poe along with a new logo.

What does this mean?

Poe released a new feature that allows you to use different AI models in a single thread. Insanely useful for comparing outputs from different models. You can combine this with your bots on Poe for complex workflows as well.

Think this: You start brainstorming an idea with a Claude 3 Opus-based bot, then code using GPT-4-Turbo and go back to another bot that’s specific for writing documentation.

Why should I care?

I’ve been trying Poe (again) recently and this feature may get me a regular user 👀 . I often switch up ChatGPT and Opus for different tasks and find myself comparing results often so doing it in Poe is going to be great.

It is also a nicer UI than most apps that offer multiple models in a single app. I also have a few bots built on Poe that I can chain together in a workflow. If you’re a regular Poe user, let me know.
