Adobe has introduced significant updates to its flagship tools – Premiere Pro (Beta), After Effects (Beta) and Frame.io – designed to streamline workflows and reduce time-consuming tasks for video professionals. The updates come just ahead of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and aim to support filmmakers and motion designers with new AI-powered tools and improved performance features.

The Premiere Pro (Beta) update brings AI-driven media intelligence, including a new search box designed to make finding the perfect footage easier. This tool automatically detects clip content including objects, locations, camera angles and metadata. Users can search for natural language terms like “person running with lens flare” or “close-up of person running at sunset” to quickly find relevant clips.

Media analysis occurs entirely on users' systems. This ensures that no internet connection is required and content is not used to train AI models.

Premiere Pro (Beta) now supports subtitle translation in 17 languages, allowing editors to easily expand their audience reach. The feature also allows multiple subtitle tracks to be displayed simultaneously, making it easier to manage multilingual content or support workflow editing with non-native languages.

The After Effects (Beta) update introduces a modern caching system that leverages both RAM and high-performance hard drives, significantly improving playback speed for larger and more complex compositions. This improvement also allows older machines to preview entire compositions without interruptions, making motion design more interactive and efficient.

Additionally, HDR monitoring is now supported in After Effects (Beta), enabling accurate color representation for PQ and HLG videos on both professional reference monitors and standard laptops. Advanced videoscopes ensure precise adjustments in HDR projects.

Frame.io has expanded its Camera to Cloud (C2C) functionality with Canon's C80 and C400 cameras. Following a firmware update in December, these cameras can now automatically upload proxy files to Frame.io, enabling real-time collaboration between production and post-production teams. Editors can start working on proxy files immediately in Premiere Pro and seamlessly link to camera raw formats for final delivery.

This integration allows filmmakers to troubleshoot issues during production, avoid reshoots, and ensure footage is securely stored and accessible. All you need is a Frame.io account, a network connection, and a pairing code to start uploading video files in minutes.

Creative Cloud members can access these beta updates today. The betas can be installed alongside the current versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects. Adobe encourages users to test these features and provide feedback to improve future versions.
