TOP STORY
🧠 Premiere Pro releases “AI Search”

This week, Adobe Premiere Pro released an AI-powered "Media Intelligence" feature in its beta, designed to make video editing faster and easier.

  • This tool automatically analyzes video clips to recognize objects, locations, camera angles, and more, allowing users to search for specific footage by typing descriptions like “a person skating with a lens flare.”

  • It also supports metadata searches, such as shoot dates or camera types.

You can even search audio and video clips by text transcription 🤯 

Plus… Premiere Pro (Beta) also introduces AI-powered caption translations in 17 languages, making it easier to edit multilingual projects.

3D DESIGN
✨ Spline releases “Spell”

This week, Spline released “Spell,” a new AI tool that creates 3D worlds from a single image in just minutes.

  • It uses advanced techniques like Gaussian Splatting or NeRFs to generate consistent, detailed 3D scenes.

  • These scenes can include people, objects, environments, and more, with realistic lighting, materials, and camera effects.

Currently, Spell is in its early stages and available only to a limited group of users at a higher price.

Here are some examples of “worlds” created with Spline 👇️ 

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
⚡️ KREA released real-time “Custom AI Models”

KREA has just launched an exciting new feature: real-time custom AI models.

This tool allows users to train their own unique styles, characters, or products and use them instantly in “Krea Real-time.”

The process is simple: users can visit krea.ai/train, upload their desired images (or reuse ones from previous trainings), ensure the "Realtime" setting is enabled, and start the training process.

Users can access their new model through the “Style Selector,” adjust its strength to fine-tune the output, and begin creating in real-time 👇
