Let’s jump into it!
MAIN STAGE
Adobe’s New AI Video Tools
Adobe just dropped a bunch of teasers on what’s to come with AI-powered tools inside the creative suite.
Check out their article for a full breakdown (of some things…we’ll actually cover stuff they didn’t below), but let’s go over all the video related ones below with demo videos (mostly from Adobe’s Senior Creative Evangelist, Kris Kashtanova).

Project ResUp
Video upscaling
This Sneak is so crispy. 💖 #ProjectResUp uses diffusion-based technology and artificial intelligence to convert videos from low-res to high-res. #AdobeMAX, what do you think... should this exploratory tech make it into product?

Project Stardust
Object aware photo editing that turns objects in photos into moveable layers.
What if you could seamlessly move an object in flat photo with a single click? At #AdobeMAX we unveiled #ProjectStardust, an object-aware editing engine that accelerates and simplifies the editing process.

Firefly Image 2
New Firefly image mode with better outputs, trained on licensed or cleared images.
We released a new model 🎉
!!! Firefly Image 2 !!!!
As a scientist I am in disbelief that such model is possible with a small dataset as we had.
We compensated artists for training it.
We worked very hard on it. Please, enjoy!

Analysis
A lot of these features are already available on other tools - video upscaling on Topaz, generative fill on Runway, and some scene tracking and animation with Move AI and WonderDynamics (sort of…Project SceneChange is a bit of a different use case).
But having them accessible inside the tools hundreds of thousands use every day is going to be a huge boost in adopting AI tools in everyday creative workflows.
