Adobe Showcases Next-Gen AI Tools to Revolutionize Video, Photo, and Audio Editing
Adobe unveiled a range of experimental AI tools designed to transform creative workflows for video, image, and audio editing. Among the most remarkable innovations is Project Frame Forward, which enables editors to make a change in one video frame and have it automatically applied across the entire clip.
This feature eliminates the need for complex masking, saving significant time. For example, Adobe’s demonstration showed an object being removed from the first frame, after which the AI filled in the background seamlessly throughout the footage. Users can also draw directly on the frame to insert new objects, then describe them using AI prompts. These changes remain consistent across all frames, producing natural, context-aware effects such as reflections and shadows that adapt dynamically to the environment.
Lighting and Sound Reinvented with AI
Another innovation, Project Light Touch, allows creators to reshape lighting conditions within images. It can adjust the direction and warmth of light, simulate illumination from additional sources, and even alter the time of day in a scene. With this capability, users can create effects like glowing objects or transform a daylight scene into a nighttime setting in seconds.
Additionally, Project Clean Take introduces a breakthrough in voice and sound editing. It enables users to modify the tone, delivery, or emotion of recorded speech using simple AI prompts without re-recording. The tool can replace specific words while preserving the speaker’s natural voice and characteristics. It can also separate and isolate background sounds, allowing editors to control noise levels and improve voice clarity efficiently.
Expanding the Future of Creative Tools
These experimental projects known as “sneaks” demonstrate Adobe’s push toward intuitive, AI-driven design. Other sneak previews include Project Surface Swap for changing the material or texture of objects, Project Turn Style for rotating items in images like 3D models, and Project New Depths, which lets users edit photos as layered 3D environments.
While these tools are not yet publicly available, past innovations like Photoshop’s Distraction Removal and Harmonize tools began as sneaks before becoming official features. Therefore, it’s highly possible that some of these AI-powered technologies will soon make their way into the hands of creators, redefining the future of digital editing and design.
