Adobe Premiere Pro has been a cornerstone of professional video editing for years, and its latest generative AI updates mark one of the biggest shifts in how the platform works. In this class from the Gen AI App Series, we take a practical look at Adobe Premiere Pro’s new AI-powered features to answer a simple question: are these tools ready for real production workflows, or are they still better suited for demos?
This review focuses on everyday editing challenges rather than hype. You will see how Premiere Pro’s AI can help rescue flawed footage, accelerate rough cuts with text-based editing, and clean up audio without leaving the timeline. The class is designed to show where these tools genuinely save time and where editors still need to step in to maintain quality and control.
Beyond individual features, this class also explores what generative video means for teams at scale. Adobe positions its AI tools as a safe, professional entry point into generative video, but safety, reliability, and predictability matter just as much as speed. By the end of the walkthrough, you will have a grounded understanding of how Premiere Pro’s AI fits into real workflows for freelancers, agencies, and in-house teams.
