Leveraging AI in Adobe Premiere Pro by Nick Harauz

This is a straight-to-the-point workflow course for editors who want to stop clicking around and start cutting faster.

✅ Requirements

• Skills: Basic timeline editing in Premiere Pro, familiarity with cuts, trims, and audio levels

• Hardware: Modern multi-core computer with 16GB+ RAM, stable internet connection for cloud-based AI processing

📝 Description

If you still scrub through hours of interviews to find soundbites, this will change how you work. Nick starts with text-based editing and speech-to-text — you get a transcript, you highlight sentences, you delete. Premiere cuts the video for you. Got a flattened file with no cuts? Scene Edit Detection chops it back into editable clips so you don’t have to re-cut by hand.

Then it’s cleanup. No more shot-by-shot color tweaking just to make it watchable. You’ll use Auto Color to get a solid baseline and match cameras fast, then let Enhance Speech pull dialogue out of noisy rooms. It’s not about one-click magic, it’s about getting to 90% in seconds so you can spend time on the actual creative choices.

The last stretch is where it gets fun. Need two more seconds to cover a transition? Generative Extend builds it. Need vertical versions for Reels and TikTok? Auto Reframe tracks the subject for you. Plus a practical look at Adobe Firefly for generating missing b-roll and stills, and the new AI search in Beta that actually finds “close-up laughing” instead of clip_0047.mp4.
