Anything any of us would know would only be if it was released in the public beta. They don't make any other announcements.

 

And it's not in the public beta yet.

 

From using the version in Resolve, I still do it manually there. It  goes too far in moving hues, compared to when I do it manually.

It's been years since this was requested. I've seen threads from 2018. Are there any advancements? 

Best,

The use of "your software" was a rhetorical device; I was addressing Adobe, not implying that you, personally, have some ownership of the software.

Apologies for making inferences about your comments re: the "1% or 2% of the user base", though. Everything else, I stand behind.

If you're replying to me, at least get things right. I've never been employed by any company let alone Adobe.

 

And don't say I said something I didn't. OK?

 

I also don't see the use of denigrating those who are also paid to edit simply because their deliverables go other places. Just seems silly and pointless.

 

Personally I've not used that much of their machine learning things. Other than transcription which has been awesome. And a few times the audio enhancement thing.

 

Others I know, working in broadcast totally, are using every ML thing in the app. And loving them.

 

We all work differently than every other editor.

I'd like to point out that the software is called Premiere "Pro", not "Premiere YouTuber Edition".
You're absolutely correct that the vast majority of Premiere customers are not using for anything even resembling "Pro".
That being said, like, if you want your software to be considered "Pro", for use by actual professionals, then maybe you want to add actual professional features instead of low-quality genAI stuff, where the point is literally to put actual professionals out of work...?
Of the two features, which would you consider to be more "Pro"? The ability to generate low-effort memes and low-quality stock footage using text prompts? Or robust colour correction features that use professional color checker cards in order to simplify getting an accurate colour balance?
I should also point out that the MBR plugin was developed by one dude. Nobody is expecting Adobe to pull a team of several hundred people from their coveted genAI teams to spend several years implementing this feature. Adobe is a $220 Billion company. It's VERY fair to expect more from them than a single person can deliver.

I see these things from those who think they "know"  somehow the motivations of the devs.

 

Always way outta whack if you do of course, so in their own way kind of hilarious. And always totally reductionist to absurdity.

 

The internal operations are complex. And it seems that decisions/priorties are based on 1) what users actually use at "this" time, 2) where they think professional editing is going over the short term from massive sampling of the user base and 3) some prioritization provided by the team members based on their personal experiences.

 

A number of the changes I would personally really really like are things I've been told would realistically be used by maybe 1% or 2% of the user base. Not likely to get high enough on any priority list to ever get done.

 

Yea, I get that. I don't like it, but I get it.

If a feature ain't coattail-riding on the gen AI bubble, Adobe ain't interested in implementing it
