Premiere Pro Now Generates Clips Inside Your Timeline
Adobe just shipped a Generative Media Tool inside Premiere Pro that lets you create video and sound effects right in your timeline instead of jumping between apps. You get to pick the AI model behind the generation — Adobe Firefly, or partner models like Google Veo, Kling, Runway, and Luma — so you're not locked into one look. After Effects also got a beta AI Assistant that can organize layers and build motion effects from a plain-language request.
