Premiere is the editor many agencies and video teams standardize on, and its recent AI work targets real editing chores. Generative Extend uses Adobe Firefly to lengthen clips, add frames and fill in missing ambient sound. Media Intelligence lets you describe a clip in everyday language to find it, Text-Based Editing transcribes footage on import so you can cut from the transcript, and captions can be translated in 18 languages. Object Mask tracks a subject after one click, and Enhance Speech cleans up dialogue. The Premiere plan includes the desktop and mobile apps, the Adobe Express Premium plan, 100GB of cloud storage and 25 monthly generative credits; Creative Cloud Pro adds 20+ apps and 4,000 credits. The drawbacks are cost and commitment: it is subscription only, the trial lasts 7 days, and Adobe's pages showed local currency from our location, so the USD price is pending. For editors aiming at professional work with other Adobe users, it remains the safest standard.
