Premiere Pro uses AI to cut out ‘ums,’ ‘ahs,’ and awkward pauses

By Nicole Rodrigues

Adobe Premiere Pro, a go-to choice for video editing, has rolled out a noteworthy update that enhances audio quality by introducing “filler word detection.” Harnessing the power of AI, this feature automatically trims those pesky “ums” and “hmms” from tracks and transcriptions.

But that’s not all—this update brings another valuable tool to the table. It allows you to identify and snip out extended pauses in your final version, streamlining the editing process. It can also identify mics not placed in optimal locations, excessive background noises (such as cars and sirens), and can even upgrade archival footage audio.

Audio clarity is further enhanced with Adobe’s Enhance Speech tool, driven by AI. Its mission? To deliver studio-quality audio by effectively processing and eliminating background noise. A nifty mix slider is available, allowing users to preserve a touch of background ambiance if desired.

These new features are debuting alongside the commercial release of Adobe’s Firefly for Enterprise generative AI.

To harness the power of this AI tool, users will need a subscription plan known as “generative credits.” This subscription empowers customers to transform text-based prompts into image and vector creations, offering a new dimension to creative possibilities.

And for those looking for accessibility, the AI tool is not limited to Premiere Pro. It is also available as a web application, seamlessly integrated into Creative Cloud paid plans
