Adobe adds degenerative artificial intelligence tools to its video editing software
Adobe Inc. announced Monday that it plans to bring new artificial intelligence capabilities to its video editing software used by the film and television industries.
The tools allow video editors to, for example, change the lighting of an image from noon to sunset or create background music by writing a few words of text that tells the system what to do. The tools are based on a new system called Adobe Firefly, which the company introduced last month for creating still images and text.
Adobe is interested in generative artificial intelligence, boosted by Microsoft-backed OpenAI and Stability AI applications that allow users to create new images with just a few shots. But after Getty Images sued Stability AI, alleging that the startup misused Getty’s copyrighted images to train its AI system, legal questions clouded whether the output of such AI systems can be used in commercial work.
Adobe, one of the largest suppliers of software for visual and video artists, promises its customers that the output of its Firefly system is safe and legal for commercial use.
Adobe’s new video tools allow users to tell an AI system to read a script and then automatically create a storyboard for the finished piece, even recommending some shots for a rough cut of the story. For the advertising industry, the system includes features that can take footage and create different background music and scenery to show the ad in different countries.
“With one button, we can create 1,000 localized versions of the same video,” Ivo Manolov, director of digital and video-audio business offerings at Adobe, told Reuters in an interview.
Adobe is testing the system now and plans to release Video Tools later this year.
