Adobe Premiere Pro Just Changed! We Tested Its Biggest AI Upgrades at Adobe MAX 2026 | TechPulse

Adobe Premiere Pro has just received some massive upgrades, and generative AI is changing how we edit videos.We tested these tools at Adobe MAX, and here's what stood out.First, AI-powered masking. Imagine someone walking into your B-roll. You can now select that person, enhance the mask and remove unwanted elements without manually editing every frame. It's fast and smooth.Second, AI-generated B-roll. You can now generate entirely new footage based on context, directly within your editing workflow. You can even choose which AI model to use, without relying on external plugins.Third, audio editing. The enhanced audio tools can isolate individual voices, letting you adjust each speaker separately and clean up overlapping dialogue. That's a big deal for interviews.Fourth, the timeline tracker. Premiere Pro can help identify what's being said and where, with markers across the timeline. This makes navigating lengthy interviews and finding specific moments considerably easier.And finally, colour correction. Adobe is taking on DaVinci Resolve with powerful native colour-grading tools that allow you to maintain a consistent look across your footage.The bigger story isn't just generative AI. It's how Adobe is bringing more of the editing workflow into one platform.And having tested these tools at Adobe MAX, we believe these are some of the biggest changes to Premiere Pro in years.
