Adobe's AI will automatically color-match shots in Premiere

The company's AI efforts are spreading from photos to video.

At NAB 2018, Adobe has announced that the Sensei AI used in Photoshop and Lightroom have come to its Premiere Pro CC editing app. The first tool, Color Match, takes a lot of tedium out an edit. Even when filmmakers are careful, hues and tones can vary from shot to shot, so editors usually have to do a laborious color correction. All you have to do is tweak one shot just the way you want it, and Color Match will apply them to your other shots as editable color adjustments. That way, if it's still not quite perfect, you can do a final tweak to get it right.

The new Face Detection tool does roughly the same process, but looks at skin tones in the target images when it goes to match. To further help with color correction, Adobe is also bringing a split view so you can see color graded shots side-by-side or by using a wipe slider. Finally, there's a new "Video Limiter" that will help editors confirm their shows conform to broadcast standards.
