1. Introduction to AI in Adobe Premiere Pro: Hello, everyone, and welcome to this course on AI in
Adobe Premiere Pro. My name is Sant Kumar,
and in this course, we are going to explore how artificial intelligence
is transforming the way we edit videos. Traditionally, video
editing required a lot of manual work, such as trimming clips,
creating captions, correcting colors,
cleaning audio, and tracking moving objects. These tasks often took a significant amount
of time and effort. The introduction of AI Power
tools in Premiere Pro, many of these processes have become faster and
more efficient. Features such as
text based editing, auto captions, scene
edit detection, auto reframe, object masking, generative extend,
auto color correction, and enhanced speech allow
editors to automate complex tasks and streamline
the editing workflow. In this course, we
will learn how to use these powerful AI tools step by step to improve
editing speed, accuracy, and overall
video quality. Let's get started and begin exploring the
powerful AI tools in Adobe Premiere Pro
that will help you edit videos faster
and more efficiently.
2. What You Should Know Before Joining This Course: Before starting this course on AI tools in Adobe Premiere Pro, you should be familiar with the basic layout
of Premiere Pro, such as the timeline,
project panel, program monitor,
and source monitor. Knowing how to import
media, create sequences, and perform simple edits like
cutting clips and arranging them on the timeline will make it easier to
follow the lessons. You don't have
basic knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro, don't worry. I have already
launched a complete Premiere Pro video
editing course where you can learn the
fundamentals step by step. You can find that
course on my profile, so simply visit my profile
and join the course to build your basic editing skills before starting this
AI focused course.
3. AI Audio Enhancement – Improve Dialogue with AI: This lesson, we are going
to learn how to use AI enhanced speech in
Adobe Premiere Pro. When we record videos, sometimes the audio may
contain background noise, echo, or low quality
microphone sound. This can make the dialogue
difficult to understand. To solve this problem,
Premiere Pro provides an AI powered enhanced
speech feature inside the essential
sound panel. This feature
automatically improves the clarity of dialogue and
reduces unwanted noise. With just a few adjustments, we can make the voice sound much clearer and
more professional. Now we have three
clips in the timeline. So first, let's play
the first clip. Sometimes life becomes too fast. We wake up, work, rush, and repeat the same
routine every day. And somewhere in that routine, we forget how beautiful
the world really is. But then travel happens. Travel is not just
about changing places. It's about as you can hear, this clip contains a lot of
background sound and noise, which makes the
dialogue less clear. In many recordings, background
noise, such as room sound, fan noise or environmental noise can affect the
clarity of the voice. So we need to remove the background noise and
enhance the audio quality. To fix this type of issue, Adobe Premiere Pro provides a dedicated panel called
the Essential Sound panel, which allows us to quickly clean up and improve
dialogue recordings. To open this panel, go to the window menu and select essential sound once
the panel opens, and here you can find many different settings related to audio adjustment
and enhancement. And you will see that
Premiere Pro has automatically recognized
the audio as dialog. Sometimes Premiere Pro may not detect the
correct audio type. If that happens, you
can simply click on Clear Audio type and assign
the correct category again. Here, you also have two options. You can click on
Autotag which allows Premiere Pro to automatically
identify the audio type, or you can manually select
the correct option, such as dialogue, music
or sound effects. The enhanced speech option automatically analyzes
the audio using AI and improves the clarity of the speech while reducing
background noise. Simply press the button, and Premiere Pro will
start analyzing the clip, which may take a few moments depending on the
length of the audio. Now, let's listen
to the audio again. Changing perspective. When you stand in front of a mountain, you realize how small
you're worried. You can already hear some improvement in the
voice clarity. To better understand
the difference, let me play the audio before
applying enhanced speech. Bizarre. When you watch
the sunset in a new city, you feel a quiet peace
inside your heart. As you can hear, the voice is much clearer and more
focused than before. Although the improvement
is noticeable, there may still
be a small amount of background noise remaining. To further improve the audio, we can adjust the
mix amount slide. Strangers we soon
become friends. These are the moments that
remind us we are alive. Travel teaches us courage. It teaches us to step
outside our comfort zone. By increasing the mix amount, Premiere Pro applies
stronger speech enhancement and removes more
background noise. Explore the unknown. Because every road
has a story. Every. Now you can hear that the
audio becomes much cleaner and clearer with most of the unwanted background
noise removed. If needed, you can slightly
reduce the mixed amount. Keep the voice sounding
more naturally especially if the enhancement
becomes too strong. Now let's explore some
additional options. Inside the repair section, we also have tools that help remove background
noise manually. For example, let me show
you a quick example. First, we will reduce the
enhanced speech mix amount. The smell of the
ocean, the laughter of strangers who
soon become friends. These are the moments that
remind us we're alive. Travel And then we will increase the reduced
noise control outside our comfort zone to explore the unknown because every
road has a story, every destination has a lesson, and every journey changes us
in ways we never expected. By adjusting these settings, we can further remove unwanted background sound and improve the overall
clarity of the dialogue. When you watch the
sunset in a new city, you feel a quiet peace
inside your heart. The sound of the wind,
the smell of the ocean. Now, in the essential
sound panel, we also have the
dynamics control. This control helps us adjust the balance and consistency
of the dialogue volume. Sometimes in a recording, certain words may sound louder while others
may be too soft. Dynamics processing
helps even out these variations so that the dialogue sounds
more balanced. Laughter of strangers
you soon become friends. These are the moments that
remind us we are alive. Train teaches us courage. It teaches us to step
outside our comfort zone to explore the unknown because
every road has a story, every destination has a lesson, and every journey changes
us in Way Here you can see a slider that ranges
from natural to focus. When the slider is
closer to natural, Premiere Pro keeps the original
dynamics of the audio, which means the voice will sound more natural and less processed. We move the slider
toward focused, Premiere Pro compresses
the audio more strongly. This makes the voice sound
more consistent and clear, especially in situations where the dialogue volume
changes frequently. Never expected. Years later, you may forget the busy
days of your life. The vocal enhancer
option helps improve the clarity and presence of
the human voice in audio. Sometimes dialogue
recordings may sound slightly dull or muffled, especially if the microphone
quality is not very good. The vocal enhancer helps
boost specific frequencies in the voice to make speech clearer and easier
to understand. To use this feature simply enable the vocal
enhancer toggle. Once it is enabled, Premiere
Pro provides two options, high tone and low tone. The high tone option
is generally used for voices that are
naturally higher in pitch. This setting enhances the upper frequency
range of the voice, making the dialogue sound
brighter and clearer. The low tone option is
designed for deeper voices. It enhances the lower
frequency range, helping the voice sound
fuller and more balanced. Choosing the correct option depends on the tone of
the speaker's voice. If the speaker has a
higher pitched voice, use high tone, and
if the speaker has a deeper voice,
use low tone. Times life becomes too fast. We wake up, work, rush, and repeat the same
routine every day. And somewhere in that routine, we forget how beautiful
the world really is. But then travel happens. Travel is not just
about changing places, it's about changing perspective. When you stand in front of a mountain you realize how
small your worries are. When you watch the
sunset in a new city, you feel a quiet peace
inside your heart, the sound of the wind,
the smell of the ocean, the laughter of Now let's apply the same process
to the second clip. Just about going to new places
it asks about discovering a new version select the second clip in the
timeline and again, enable enhanced speech in the essential sound panel
of Adobe Premiere Pro. Once we click the
enhanced speech option, Premiere Pro automatically analyzes the audio in the clip. Of yourself, every journey
begins with a simple step, but that step can lead to
unforgettable moments, the sound of waves
touching the shore, the silence of the mountains, the colors of a new city, and the stories hidden in
every street when I travel, I do tee, just see
places I feel them. Every destination
has its own rhythm, its own culture, its own Magic. Sometimes travel is
about adventure. Sometimes it asks about peace, and sometimes it asks just about getting lost in the
beauty of the world. Travel teaches us that
the world is bigger than our problems and more beautiful
than we ever imagined, because in the end, we
dont, just collect photos. We collect memories,
and those memories become stories we carry
for the rest of our lives. So keep exploring, keep
dreaming and never stop travel. Sound of waves
touching the shore, the silence of the mountains, the colors of a new city, and the stories hidden
in every street. Now let's move to
the third clip. Play the clip first so we
can listen to the audio. Free journey begins
with a simple step, but that step can
lead to unforget. In this clip, the sound
is already quite clean, but there is still a small
amount of background noise, and the audio quality
can be improved further. To enhance it simply enable the enhanced
speech option again. Touching the shore, the
silence of the mountains, the colors of a new city, and the stories hidden
in every street. When I travel, I don tee, just see places I feel them. Every destination
has its own rhythm. Premiere Pro will once
again analyze the audio automatically and apply AI
based speech enhancement. Its own culture, its own magic. Sometimes travel is
about adventure. Sometimes it asks about peace, and sometimes it asks just about getting lost in the
beauty of the world. Travel teaches us that
the world is bigger than our problems and more beautiful
than we ever imagined, because in the end, we
Dante, just collect photos. We collect memories,
and those memories become stories we carry
for the rest of our lives. So keep it you may
notice that there is still a slight amount of noise remaining
in the recording. To remove this noise
more effectively, go to the repair section in
the essential sound panel. It's own culture.
It's own magic. Sometimes travel is
about adventure. Sometimes it asks about peace, and sometimes it asks just about getting lost in the

editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, makes the process of improving
dialogue much faster and easier with features like enhanced speech and
intelligent noise reduction. So overall, AI audio tools simplify the workflow and
help produce cleaner, more professional
sound for interviews, tutorials and online
video content.
4. AI Auto Color Correction: This lesson, we are going
to learn how to use AI Auto Color Correction
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Color correction is an
important step in video editing because it helps improve the overall look and
quality of the footage. Sometimes a video
may appear too dark, too bright, or the colors may look slightly flat and dull. By correcting the colors, we can make the footage
look more balanced, natural, and visually appealing. Now we have four clips
in the timeline, and first we will
check the first clip. As you can see, the color of this footage needs
some correction. To quickly improve the colors, we will first use the auto
Color Correction feature. Go to the Window menu and
open the Lumetri color panel. Side the basic
correction section, you will find the auto
button. Click on it. As soon as you click Auto, Premiere Pro
automatically analyzes the clip and applies
adjustments. You can see that
the software makes some automatic
corrections to the image. It analyzes elements such as exposure,
contrast, highlights, shadows and color balance, and then adjust them to create a more balanced and
natural looking result. Let me show you before
and after clip. You can see that we
got some improvement, but the change is not
very significant. So now let's try using the autoclor
correction on one of the clips to see how much
difference it makes. Although autocolor is very helpful and gives us a
good starting point, the best results usually when we combine AI correction with
manual color adjustments. So now let me show you how to
refine the colors manually. First, open the
lumetriscopes panel. Inside the scopes panel, make sure the following
scopes are enabled. Vectorscope RGB parade waveform, set the RGB parade mode to RGB and set the
waveform type to Luma. These scopes help us analyze the brightness and color levels of the image more accurately. In the waveform Luma, the upper portion represents the highlight areas
of the image, while the bottom portion represents the darker
areas or shadows. Highlight values
ideally should reach close to 100 for a
properly exposed image, while the shadow values, which should stay near zero for better contrast and
overall color balance. You can also monitor the RGB parade to check the balance
between the red, green, and blue color channels and use the vectorscope to analyze color saturation and skin tones. Now let's go back to the basic correction section
in lumetri color. First, we will adjust
the highlight areas by slightly increasing the exposure and refining the contrast. Next, adjust the shadows, whites and blacks to balance the overall brightness
and depth of the image. After that, move to the color controls and
adjust the temperature, tint and saturation to improve
the overall color tone. Now, go to the creative section. Here we can enhance the image further by adjusting
vibrance and saturation, which helps bring more life to the colors without making
them look unnatural. Next, move to the curve section. In the curves panel, we can fine tune specific
color channels. For example, we can
slightly adjust the blue channel to balance
the color tone of the image. Now, let me show you the
before and after comparison. As you can see, there is a significant improvement
in the image quality. The colors look more balanced, the highlights and shadows
are properly adjusted, and the footage appears
much more professional. So while AI auto
color correction provides a quick starting point, combining it with manual
color adjustments allows us to achieve the best
possible result in our video editing work. Let me show you how to
copy the color from one video clip and apply it to another clip in
Adobe Premiere Pro. Sometimes when we are editing multiple clips from
the same scene, we want all the clips to have
a consistent color look. Instead of manually
adjusting each clip, Premiere Pro provides a very useful feature
called color match. Now, go to the
Lumetri color panel and open the color wheels
and match section. Now click on Comparison view. Once you enable comparison View, the program monitor will
split into two windows. The left screen shows
the reference frame, which is the clip from which
we want to copy the color. The right screen shows
the current clip where we want to apply
the color correction. We can move forward
or backward in the reference clip to choose the exact frame whose
color you want to match. Once you find the correct frame, make sure your target clip
is selected in the timeline. Now simply click on Apply Match. Premiere Pro will analyze the colors of the
reference frame and automatically adjust
the selected clip to match the same color tone. As you can see, Premiere Pro has applied a very similar color
look to the second clip. Now, let me show you
one more example. Here again, we want to copy
the color from this clip, and now we want to apply the same color tone
to this clip as well, and we will follow
the same process. First, go to color wheels and match in the
Lumetri color panel. Click on Comparison View. Next, choose the
reference frame from the first clip by moving
through the frames. Then select the clip
where you want to apply the color and
click on Apply Match. Premiere Pro will automatically adjust the colors to
match the reference clip. Now let's see the before
and after comparison. As you can see, the colors now look much more consistent
between both clips. Sometimes the
automatic color match may not be perfectly accurate, so we can always make
small manual adjustments. So go to the basic
correction section and slightly adjust the temperature,
tint or saturation. We can also refine
the image using the curves panel to fine tune
specific color channels. These small adjustments
help improve the final result and make
the color look more natural. Now, let's check the final
before and after comparison. You can see that
the clips now look much more balanced and
visually consistent. Finally, it is important
to remember that color correction always
depends on the scene, lighting conditions, and the environment in which the
footage was recorded. AI tools like color match are very helpful for
speeding up the process, but achieving the best results usually requires
a combination of automatic tools and
manual adjustments based on the needs of the scene.
5. AI Object Masking: This lesson, we are going
to learn how to use the Object Mask tool
in Adobe Premiere Pro. The Object Mass tool is an AI
powered feature that allows Premiere Pro to automatically detect and mask a subject
inside your video. Instead of manually drawing
masks around an object, Premiere Pro analyzes
the frame and intelligently creates a mask
around the selected subject. Here we have this clip and our goal is to blur
this man completely. First, select the
clip in the timeline. Next, go to the mask options and choose the object mask tool. Now move to the program monitor. When you hover your
cursor over the subject, you will notice a red overlay
appearing on the person. This red overlay
indicates the area that Premiere Pro has detected
as a possible subject. Now simply click on the man. As soon as you click,
Premiere Pro automatically creates a dotted mask
selection around the subject. At this stage, the
mask is still static. If we play the timeline, you will notice
that the mask stays in one place and does
not follow the subject. The next step is
to track the mask. For that, go to the
Effect Controls panel. Inside the mask
tracking section, you will find several
tracking icons. This button tracks the mask
in the backward direction, and this button tracks the
mask in the forward direction, and this button works
in both directions. Click on the track forward
and backward icon. This option allows
Premiere Pro to analyze the clip and track the mask
across the entire timeline. Now Premiere Pro begins
analyzing the frames and automatically adjusts the
mask as the subject moves. And as you can see, the mask is now perfectly
tracking the person. This is the real power of
AI masking because it saves a huge amount of
time compared to manually animating
masks frame by frame. Now, let's apply
the blur effect, go to the effects panel and
search for the mosaic effect. Drag the mosaic
effect onto the clip. Now we have blurred the subject, and let's adjust
some more settings to make it look more perfect. Then return to the effect
controls panel and increase the mosaic settings until the person is
completely blurred. And just like that, we
have successfully blurred the subject using the
AI Object mask tool. As you can see, this
process is fast, accurate, and extremely
useful when working with moving subjects
in your videos. This feature can be
extremely useful in many editing situations
such as blurring faces, highlighting a subject, applying color grading to only
a specific object, blurring the background, adding effects to moving objects. And this greatly
improves accuracy and saves a significant
amount of editing time. Overall, AI masking simplifies
complex editing tasks and helps editors achieve
professional results with less effort and
a smoother workflow.
6. AI Scene Edit Detection: In this lesson, we are
going to learn how to use AI scene edit detection
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Seen edit detection is an
AI powered feature that allows Premiere Pro to automatically detect
cuts in a video. It analyzes the visual
changes between frames and identifies where one shot
ends and another shot begins. This feature is
extremely useful when you have an already
edited video file, but you do not have the
original project file. Instead of manually cutting the video into multiple clips, Premiere Pro can automatically detect the scene
changes and create cuts for saves a lot of time and makes it easier to
edit existing videos. Now, we have a clip in the
timeline. Let's play the clip. And as you can see, this video contains multiple shots
within a single clip. If we want to apply
transitions, color correction, or other effects
between these shots, we first need to separate
each shot by adding cuts. Use it, simply right
click on the clip in the timeline and choose
scene edit detection. Once you click it, a
dialog box will appear. And here we have three
different options that control how Premiere Pro will detect
and organize the scene cuts. Apply a cut at each
detected cut point, create bin of subclips. Create markers at each
detected cut point. Now, let's go with
the first option is apply a cut at each
detected cut point. This option is enabled, Premiere Pro will
automatically add cuts on the timeline wherever
it detects a scene change. As a result, the
single long clip will be divided into
multiple smaller clips, making it easier to edit
each shot separately. Let's undo the action. And the second option
is create bin of subclips from each
detected cut point. If you enable this option, Premiere Pro will create
separate subclips inside the project panel
for each detected scene. Now you can see that Premiere
Pro has created a new dedicated bin
called a.p4 scenes, which contains all the subclips generated from the
detected scene cuts. Each subclip represents
an individual shot from the original video. This makes it much
easier to organize and access the different
parts of the footage, and we can quickly
drag any specific shot from this bin back into the
timeline whenever needed. Let's again undo the action. Finally, let's apply
the third option is create clip marker at
each detected cut point. This option does
not split the clip. Instead, it places markers on the timeline wherever
Premiere Pro detects a scene change. These markers act as
visual indicators, helping you quickly locate
edit points in the video. We also have a
dedicated marker panel, which is available inside
the project panel. In this panel, we
can easily view all the markers
that were created during the scene edit
detection process. From here, we can
select any marker, navigate directly to that point in the timeline, and if needed, we can also add notes or comments to the marker
for better organization. Another useful thing to
know is that we can enable all three options together while using scene
edit detection. Now, let's undo the
previous action, and this time, we will
select all three options. Once the analysis is complete, you can see that
Premiere Pro has applied all the
selected actions. The clip is now split into
multiple cuts in the timeline. Separate sub clips are
created in the project panel, and markers are also added
at each detected cut point. This gives us a much
more organized workflow and makes it easier to navigate, edit, and manage different
scenes in the video. Now that the clip has
been divided into scenes, you can easily perform
different editing tasks, such as adjusting
color for each shot. Adding transitions
between scenes, trimming or removing
specific parts, applying effects to
individual clips. This greatly improves
editing flexibility. AI scene, edit
detection in Adobe. Premiere Pro is a
powerful feature that allows editors to
quickly identify and separate scene changes in
a video by automatically detecting cuts and splitting the video into individual clips. Premiere Pro saves a
significant amount of time and simplifies
the editing process. Tool is especially
useful when working with already edited videos where the original project
file is not available. Using AI to detect scene
changes allows editors to work faster and focus more on creativity rather
than manual tasks.
7. Generative Extend – Extend Video with AI: This lesson, we are going
to learn how to use the Generative Extend tool
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Generative Extend is
an AI powered feature that allows you to extend a video or audio clip even when you do not have
additional footage available. Premiere Pro uses artificial
intelligence to analyze the existing frames
of the clip and generate new frames that
naturally continue the motion, lighting, and visual details
of the original footage. Now we have this clip in the
timeline, so let's play it. At the end of the clip, you will notice
that the snowmobile does not completely
move out of the frame, so the scene feels unfinished. The shot cuts too early, and the action is
not fully completed. Because of this, the scene
does not look natural. So we need a few more frames to complete the movement
of the snowmobile. Instead of finding
additional footage, we can easily fix this using
the generative Extend tool. First, select the
generative extend tool and then click on the edge of the
clip and drag it outward. When you extend the clip
beyond its original duration, Premiere Pro
automatically activates the generative extend feature. Premiere Pro now uses
AI to study the motion, colors, lighting,
and visual patterns in the last frames of the clip. Based on this analysis, it generates new frames that naturally
continue the scene. This process may
take a few seconds depending on your
system performance. Once the processing is complete, the clip will appear
longer in the timeline. Premiere Pro can generate up to 2 seconds of
additional video, which is usually enough to complete the action in the shot. Now let's play the clip again. As you can see, the snowmobile
now moves completely out of the frame and the scene looks much more
natural and complete. Let me also show you
another useful tip. By default, when you select
a clip in the timeline, both the video and audio
are selected together. When you use the generative extend tool in this situation, Premiere Pro will extend both the video and
audio at the same time. However, if you want to extend only the video or
only the audio, you can do that as well. Simply hold the Alt key
on your keyboard and click on either the video
track or the audio track. This will allow you to
select them individually. Now, only the selected portion will be extended and you can apply generative
extend separately to either the video
or the audio, and generative extend allows editors to quickly
fix timing issues, create smoother transitions, and complete scenes
that end too early. By generating additional
frames automatically, Premiere Pro saves a
lot of editing time and helps maintain a natural and professional
flow in your video.
8. AI Auto Caption Generator: This lesson, we will
learn how to use the AI auto caption generator
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Captions and subtitles are extremely important
for modern videos, especially for social
media platforms. Many viewers watch
videos without sound, captions help them understand the content even when
the audio is muted. Creating captions manually
can be time consuming, but Premiere Pro offers an AI powered caption
generator that automatically converts spoken
dialogue into captions. This feature analyzes
the audio in your video, converts speech into text, and then automatically creates
captions on the timeline. Now let's play this clip. Travel is not just
about going somewhere. It's about discovering a world
you've never seen before. Every road has a story. Every destination has a
new experience waiting. Sometimes the best
moments happen when you least expect them
a quiet sunrise. Inside the text panel, you will see two main
sections transcript captions. The transcript section shows the speech to text
transcription. Now, in the caption section, we have three
different options for creating or importing captions. The first option is to create captions from
the transcript. This option automatically
generates captions using the transcript that Premiere Pro has already created
from the audio. Premiere Pro analyzes
the transcript and converts the spoken dialogue into caption segments
which are then added to the timeline
as a caption track. This is the fastest and
most commonly used method for creating caption. Second option is create
new caption track. This option allows us to
manually create captions. When we select this option, Premiere Pro adds a blank
caption track to the timeline, and we can manually type captions for each
section of the video. The third option is import
captions from file. This option is
used when captions are already created
outside Premiere Pro. For example, if you have a
caption file such as SRT, you can import it
using this option, and Premiere Pro
will automatically place the captions in the
correct timing on the time. Three options give editors
the flexibility to either generate captions
automatically using AI, create captions manually
or import captions from external files depending on the project requirements. And now let's go with create
captions from transcript. Now, when we click on Create
captions from transcript, Premiere Pro opens the Create
captions settings window. In this window, we
can control how the captions will be
generated and formatted. The first option
is caption preset. Here we can choose
the caption style. By default, Premiere Pro usually selects
subtitle default, which creates standard
subtitle captions that appear at the
bottom of the video. Captions are commonly
used for YouTube videos, tutorials, and online courses. Next, we have
captioning preferences. When we expand this section, we can adjust several
important settings such as the caption format, maximum characters per line, maximum line length, and the
number of lines per caption. These settings help control how the captions
appear on screen. For example, limiting the
number of characters per line ensures that captions remain easy to read and do
not become too long. Now let's go with
the default preset. Once we click Create captions, Adobe Premiere Pro automatically generates captions based
on the transcript. As you can see, the caption text now appears over the video and Premiere Pro also creates a dedicated caption
track in the timeline. Now click on the captions
tab and play the video. It's about discovering a world
you've never seen before. Every road has a story. Every destination has a
new experience waiting. Sometimes the best moment. As the timeline plays, Premiere Pro
automatically highlights the caption text that corresponds
to the spoken dialogue. If you need to make corrections, you can easily edit
the caption text. Simply double click
on the caption or click on the edit icon
and modify the text. As soon as you make a change, Premiere Pro instantly updates
the caption on the screen. Next, go to the Properties
panel where you can customize the
appearance of the captions. Here you can change settings
such as the font family, uppercase style, text
alignment, color, background, and many other styling options to match the design
of your video, and the changes will
be applied only to the selected caption
text in the video. For example, when I select this caption block and
change its properties, the changes affect only
that specific caption. You can see, when I select
the caption text below, nothing changes because it
is not currently selected. If you want to apply
the same styling to all caption text, you need to select
all the captions first by pressing
Control or command A, and then apply the changes. Once all captions are selected, any adjustment such
as font style, size, color, or alignment will be applied to every
caption in the track. This gives you very precise
control over caption styling. You can either customize
individual caption separately or apply
a consistent design to all captions at once, depending on the
needs of your video. In the caption track, we also have several
useful controls. We can show or
hide the captions, rename the caption track or
manage the caption settings. If we want to remove the
caption track completely, simply right click on the caption track and
choose Delete Track. Then select the caption track. And it will be removed
from the timeline. Now the caption track
has been deleted. Let's undo the action to
restore the captions. And now let me show you how
to export the caption text. Click on the three dots menu
and then choose export. From here, you can export the captions in different
formats such as text, CSV or SRT, depending on how you want to use the
subtitles outside the project. The first option is
export to textFile. This option exports the
transcript as a simple TXT file. It contains only
the text content without timing information. This is useful if you want
to review the dialog, share the script with someone or edit the text in
another application. The second option is
export to CSV file. CSV stands for comma
separated values. This format exports the
captions along with structured information
such as timing and text. It is often used when working
with spreadsheets or when organizing caption data for
documentation or analysis. Third option is
export to SRT file. SRT is one of the most commonly
used subtitle formats. It includes the caption text, along with the exact start and end time for each subtitle. This format is widely supported by platforms
such as YouTube, video players and
streaming services. By exporting captions
as an SRT file, you can upload subtitles separately when publishing
your video online. These export options make it
very easy to reuse captions outside Premiere
Pro or share them across different
platforms and workflows. Now let's export the captions
as an SRT file and save it. Next, we will delete the caption
track from the timeline. After that, click on
Import captions from file. Now browse and select the SRT file that we
exported earlier. In the import settings, set the format to
subtitle and then choose the start point according
to your timeline settings. The first option is
source time code. When this option is selected, the captions will follow the original time code
of the source clip. This is useful when working with professional workflows
where maintaining the original clip
timing is important. Second option is
playback position. With this option, the
caption timing will start from the current playhead
position in the timeline. This is helpful when
you are exporting captions only for a specific
section of the video. The third option
is timeline start. When this option is selected, the captions will begin from the very start of the
sequence timeline, regardless of the source
clips original time code. And now let's go with the
first option and click Okay. Now you can see that
the captions appear again in the timeline.
Let's play the timeline. Best moments happen when
you least expect them. A quiet sunrise
in the mountains, the sound of waves
on an empty beach or a colorful street
full of life. Travel is not about luxury. It's about moments. Moments
that make you pause. As you can see, the captions are perfectly synchronized
with the dialog, which means we have successfully imported the caption file. Now finally, let me
show you how to export the video file with
captions. Click on Export. And then go to the
caption section. Here in the export settings, we have the captions export
options where we can decide how the captions will be included in the final video. The first option is
create Sidecar file. When we select this option, Premiere Pro exports
the captions as a separate subtitle file, usually in formats like SRT. The captions will not be
embedded into the video itself, but they will be exported as a separate file that can be uploaded along with the video. This option is commonly used for platforms like YouTube
where captions are uploaded separately
so viewers can enable or disable them
while watching the video. The second option is burn
captions into video. When this option is selected, the captions become permanently embedded into the video itself. This means the subtitles
will always appear on screen and cannot be
turned off by the viewer. This method is often used
for social media videos, reels and short
form content where captions need to be
visible at all times. Choosing between these options
depends on how you want the captions to appear and where the video
will be published. So if you need permanent, then go with burn caption, otherwise go with second option. So AI auto caption generator
in Adobe Premiere Pro, makes the caption creation
process much faster and easier by automatically converting spoken dialogue into subtitles. Instead of manually
typing captions, editors can generate
them instantly using AI, which saves a significant
amount of time.
9. AI Text-Based Editing: In this lesson, we are
going to learn how to use AI text based editing
in Adobe Premiere Pro. Text based editing is an AI powered feature that converts the speech in
your video into text. Once the transcription
is created, you can edit your video
simply by editing the text. This means if you delete a word or a sentence
from the transcript, Premiere Pro will
automatically remove the corresponding part
from the video timeline. Feature is extremely useful for editing
interviews, podcasts, tutorials, and talking
head videos where most of the editing is
based on spoken content. Instead of searching for the correct moment in
the timeline manually, you can simply read
the transcript and edit the video much faster. Now we have this
clip in our project. First, let's play
the clip so we can understand the dialogue and see how the speaker is talking. Travel is not just
about going somewhere. It's about discovering a world
you've never seen before. Every road has a story. Every destination has a
new experience waiting. Sometimes the best moments happen when you
least expect them, a quiet sunrise
in the mountains, the sound of waves
on an empty beach or a colorful street
full of life. Travel is not about luxury. It's about moments, moments
that make you pause, moments that make you and we are going to edit the
clip using Audio text, which is one of the most
powerful AI features in Adobe Premiere Pro. To start using this feature, go to the Window menu
and open the text panel. Inside the text panel, we have the transcript panel. In Premiere Pro 2026, the transcription is
created automatically. So in most cases, we don't need to manually
create the transcript. As you can see,
the transcript of the spoken dialogue
is already available. Perform text based editing, Premiere Pro provides a dedicated
text editing workspace. So now let's switch to the
text based editing panel. In this panel, the layout is optimized for
transcript editing. On the left side, we have
the transcript panel where all the spoken
dialogue appears as text. In the middle, we have
the source monitor and program monitor, and at the bottom, we
have the timeline. Now we can play the
transcript directly. You can press the space
bar or use the J, K and L keys for
playback control. Let's play the clip. Travel is not just about going somewhere. It's about discovering a world
you've never seen before. Every road has a You will notice that as the speaker
says each word, the corresponding word is
highlighted in the transcript. This makes it very easy
to follow the dialogue. If you want to jump to a
specific part of the video, simply click on any word in the transcript and
press the space bar. But somehow you feel
more connected to it. Different cultures,
different people. And the playhead will move
directly to that point. Now, here you can also
see the speaker's name. If needed, we can
rename the speaker, simply click on the speaker
label and type a new name. For example, we can rename
this speaker to Carl. We can also edit the
transcript text itself. For example, here we
have the word waiting, and before this word, there
is an unnecessary dot. To fix it, simply double
click on the text or click the edit icon and
then correct the word. So you can easily edit the transcript and change
the words if needed. Now you can see that the
transcript currently contains two large paragraphs
and a line of text. Sometimes it is better to split the paragraphs for
better readability. To split a paragraph, simply place the
cursor where you want the split and click the
split paragraph icon. You can repeat the
same process to divide the text into
smaller sections. If you want to combine
two paragraphs again, simply click the
merge paragraph icon, and Premiere Pro will combine
them into one paragraph. Now let's look at
another useful feature. When I select the text
and click on this icon, Adobe Premiere Pro automatically creates in and out points
based on the selected text. By default, this option is
enabled in Premiere Pro, but if it is not active, you can simply enable it
by clicking on this icon. Let's select another
section of text. You can see that the
in and out points automatically update according
to the selected text. If we disable this option, Premiere Pro will
no longer create new in and out points
automatically. Next, we have the search panel, which allows us to search for specific words inside
the transcript. For example, let's search
for the word about. You can see that Premiere Pro highlights every
instance of the word. From here, we can
replace the word once or replace it everywhere
in the transcript. Now let's look at the
filtering options. The first option
is filler words. When this option is enabled, Premiere Pro
automatically highlights filler words such as
um, or, you know. These words are often
unnecessary in dialogue, and we can quickly
remove them to make the speech sound cleaner
and more professional. The second option
is censored words. This feature helps identify words that may need censoring. Editors can easily locate
these words and apply audio effects such as
muting or a beep sound. Next, we have pauses. This option highlights
silent gaps in the dialogue. Long pauses can sometimes
make the video feel slow, so Premiere Pro helps us
identify these pauses quickly. We can also adjust the
pause duration setting. For example, if we set the
pause threshold to 22 frames, Premiere Pro will highlight pauses longer than
that duration. Once the pauses are detected, we can remove them one by one or delete all
pauses at once, which saves a lot of time, especially when editing
long interview videos. Finally, we have the
speakers option. When speaker detection is
enabled during transcription, Premiere Pro can automatically identify different speakers
in a conversation. This is very useful
for interviews, podcasts, or discussions
involving multiple people. We can also change the
transcript font size by adjusting the slider here, making the text easier
to read while editing. Now let's continue editing. When we select a
portion of text, Premiere Pro automatically
creates in and out points. Now, go to the source monitor and drag the clip
into the timeline, and Premiere Pro will create a clip containing only
that portion of dialog. Now you can see that
the selected clip appears in the timeline, and the corresponding video appears in the program monitor. Transcript panel, we now see only the text related
to that selected clip. If we switch back to
the source monitor, we will see the complete
transcript of the entire clip. Now let's select another
section of text. At the top, you will see two
icons, insert and overwrite. If we click the Insert icon
or press the comma key, Premiere Pro inserts
the selected portion of dialog into the timeline. Now let's select another
section of text. And use the overwrite option. This will replace
the existing clip in the timeline with the
newly selected dialog. You can press the
backslash key to zoom out and view
the entire timeline. Press Control or Command Z
to undo the previous action. Now, let's select
four paragraphs. Move the playhead to
the starting point. And you can press
the coma key to insert the clip
into the timeline. Now, let's see how to
remove specific words. Using the search bar, we search
again for the word about. Now we have two options
replace and delete. If we click Delete, Premiere Pro gives
us two choices. Lift or extract. Let's first try LIFT. When we delete the
word using LIFT, Premiere Pro removes the word but leaves a gap
in the timeline. Usually, we don't want this gap, so let's undo the action. Now we choose extract. Extract removes the word and automatically
closes the gap, keeping the timeline continuous. Now let's play the
timeline again. Travel is not just
going somewhere. It's discovering a world
you've never seen before. Every road has a story. You will notice
that the word about has been completely
removed from the dialogue. There is another
important difference to understand when we are working
in the source monitor, the buttons behave as
insert and overwrite, but when we work directly in
the transcript editing mode, the same buttons behave
as extract and LIFT. And as we discussed earlier, extract removes the section without leaving a gap
while LIFT removes it, but leaves an empty
space in the timeline. Press Control or Command Z
to undo the previous action. Finally, let me show you one more powerful use
of pause detection. Imagine that your clip contains many long pauses and you want to remove them
automatically. If you try to remove
each pause manually, it can take a lot of time, especially in long interviews. Instead, you can adjust the
pause detection setting, define the pause duration, and Premiere Pro
will automatically highlight all pauses
longer than that value. From there, you
can quickly remove all long pauses without manually searching
through the timeline. This feature saves a huge amount of time when editing interviews, podcasts, or lecture videos. Every road has a story. Every destination
has a new experience waiting, sometimes the best. So as you can see, AI
text based editing makes the editing process much
faster and more efficient, especially when working
with dialogue heavy videos, such as interviews
and tutorials. And one more important thing to remember in Adobe Premiere Pro, the source monitor shows the complete transcript
of the entire clip, while the program
monitor displays only the transcript
of the portion that has been inserted
into the timeline. You will notice that in
the program monitor, we only see the
transcript related to the clip that is
currently in the timeline. However, in the source monitor, the full transcript of the original clip
is still visible. This makes it very easy to navigate through the
entire dialogue, select the parts you need,
and quickly build your edit by inserting the selected
sections into the timeline. Because of this workflow, AI text based editing
becomes extremely helpful, especially when working
with interviews, podcasts or lecture
style videos where most of the editing is
based on spoken content. Allows editors to
find dialogue faster, remove unnecessary
words or pauses, and organize clips
more efficiently without constantly searching
through the timeline.
10. AI Auto Reframe: In this lesson, we are
going to learn how to use AI auto reframe in
Adobe Premiere Pro. Auto reframe is an
AI powered feature that allows Premiere Pro to automatically adjust
the framing of a video for different
aspect ratios. Now we have a video in 16
to nine landscape format. But some social media platforms require vertical
or square formats. If we simply crop the video, the subject might move
out of the frame. This makes the video
look unprofessional. Auto reframe solves this
problem by using AI to detect the main subject and
automatically adjust the frame so the subject stays visible
throughout the video. Now go to sequence
from the menu. Choose Auto reframe sequence. This will open the auto
reframe settings window. In the auto reframe window, you will see the option
called target aspect ratio. Here you can choose
the format you want. For example, square
for Instagram post, it's vertical for
Instagram reels, Tik Tok, YouTube
shorts, Vertical HD. For some social media platforms, choose the aspect ratio depending on where you
plan to publish the video. Next, you will see the
motion tracking option. This setting controls how aggressively Premiere
Pro tracks the subject. There are three
options slower motion, best for interviews
or static scenes. Default works well
for most videos. Faster motion, best for action
scenes or sports footage. Choose the option that best matches the movement
in your video. So let's choose the default and the clip nesting
option controls how Premiere Pro handles
the clips and their existing adjustments when creating the new
reframe sequence. The first option is
don't nest clips. If we select this option, Premiere Pro will not place the clips inside a
nested sequence. Instead, it will directly apply the reframing adjustments to the clips in the new sequence. However, if the clips
already contain motion adjustments such as
position or scale changes, those adjustments
will be replaced by the new auto reframe setting. Second option is nest clips. If we enable this option, Premiere Pro will
place each clip inside a nested sequence before applying the auto
reframe adjustments. This helps preserve the
existing motion adjustments that were already
applied to the clips. However, one thing
to remember is that transitions between clips may be removed during this process. Once everything is set, click Create now Premiere Pro
begins analysing the video. The AI detects the main subject and motion in the footage. It automatically
creates key frames that reposition the frame, ensuring that the
subject remains visible inside the
new aspect ratio. This process may
take a few moments depending on the
length of the video. Once the process is complete, a new sequence will appear
in the project panel. Open the new sequence. Now you will see that the
video has been converted to the selected aspect ratio and the frame automatically
moves to follow the subject. Play the video to
review the result. Oh You will notice that the subject stays inside the frame even when the
person or object moves. Although auto reframe
works very well, sometimes you may want to
make small adjustments. You can do this by selecting
the clip and adjusting the auto reframe keyframes in
the effect controls panel. Reframe offset allows us to manually adjust the position
of the reframed area. Sometimes the AI may not perfectly center the
subject in the frame. In that situation, we
can slightly adjust the horizontal or
vertical offset to reposition the subject
inside the frame. Changing these values, we can
move the framing area left, right up or down to better align the subject within
the new aspect ratio. Auto reframe is extremely useful when creating content
for multiple platforms. For example, you may edit
a video for YouTube in 16 to nine and then quickly create versions
for Instagram, Tik Tok, and shorts without re editing
the entire project. This saves a lot of
time and ensures that the subject always
stays properly framed. This feature greatly speeds up the editing workflow and makes it easier to prepare videos for modern social
media platform.
11. Course Conclusion: This course, we explored
how AI tools in Adobe Premiere Pro can significantly improve the
video editing workflow. Using AI powered features, editors can quickly generate
captions, enhance speech, detect scene cuts, reframe
videos for social media, extend clips, and apply intelligent masking
and color correction. These tools reduce manual work, save a lot of editing time, and help creators achieve more consistent and
professional results. By automating technical tasks, AI allows editors to focus more on creativity
and storytelling. I hope this course
helped you understand how AI can make your
editing process faster, smarter and more efficient. Thank you for learning with me. I'm Sant Kumar, and I look forward to seeing you
in future courses.
