Adobe Premiere Pro’s New AI Features You Need to Try (2025 Guide)
Premiere Pro’s AI tools are powerful time-savers—extend frames, cut via transcript, clean dialogue, auto-crop for social, auto-caption & translate, detect edits, and correct HDR to SDR. Learn what they are, why they matter, and pro tips to integrate them into your workflow.
OUR PRICING PLANS
1) Generative Extend
What it is: AI that generates realistic frames to extend shots seamlessly.
Why it matters: Ideal for filling pauses, smoothing transitions, or landing voice-over beats.
When to use: Interviews, product demos, talking-head edits.
Workflow tip:
Select clip → use Generative Extend → preview/regenerate → blend with audio crossfade if needed.
Pro tip: Combine micro-extend with a J-cut for invisible fixes on talking-head edits.
2) Text-Based Editing
What it is: Auto-transcribes your media; lets you edit by speech text—search, lift, and insert.
Why it matters: Speeds up rough cuts dramatically—particularly in long-form interviews or event footage.
Workflow tip:
Open Text panel → Transcribe → Search phrases → Insert into timeline.
Pro tip: Use transcript as an editing tool—trim filler words and repetitions directly in text.
3) Enhance Speech
What it is: AI-powered noise reduction and voice clarity enhancement.
Why it matters: Delivers nearly studio-level audio fast, without B-roll or external tools.
Workflow tip:
Select dialogue clip → Apply “Enhance Speech” → Adjust Amount → Monitor on headphones.
Pro tip: Convert stereo camera audio to mono to avoid phase issues.
4) Auto Reframe
What it is: Automatically adjusts framing to produce 9:16, 1:1, or square versions.
Why it matters: Essential for fast-turnaround social content.
Workflow tip:
Choose master timeline → “Auto Reframe Sequence” → pick aspect ratio → tweak keyframes if needed.
Pro tip: Use “Faster Motion” for dynamic footage to improve AI’s tracking accuracy.
5) Speech-to-Text & Caption Translation
What it is: Built-in transcription, subtitle generation, and language translation features.
Why it matters: Makes content accessible, SEO-friendly, and globally usable—without external tools.
Workflow tip:
Use Text panel → Generate captions → Apply style → Translate → Export SRT.
Pro tip: Create and reuse caption style presets to ensure branding consistency.
6) Scene Edit Detection
What it is: Automatically detects cut points in flattened video and creates timeline edits.
Why it matters: Valuable when project files are missing—especially for deliverables, archives, or recap edits.
Workflow tip:
Place the clip → Use “Scene Edit Detection” → Add cuts or markers → Refine as needed.
Pro tip: After detection, use ripple delete to clean up any dead-space.
7) Automatic Tone Mapping
What it is: Intelligent mapping from HDR/Log formats to SDR, ensuring correct highlight roll-off.
Why it matters: Streamlines mixed-source footage—no manual LUT juggling required.
Workflow tip:
Enable Auto Tone Map Media in project settings → Import diverse media formats → Grade normally.
Pro tip: Turn on Auto-detect Log Video Color Space for better default handling of Log formats.
