AI PROMPTS NEW WAVE OF INNOVATION AT IBC2023
BY MICHAEL BURNS
It’s day one of IBC2023 and already there are a host of announcements to welcome showgoers to the RAI: new product launches, big company news and innovations have all been revealed to kick off the show. Adobe has taken AI to the next level in both Premiere Pro and After Effects, as well as introducing enhanced enterprise storage and new capabilities for cloud collaboration tool
Frame.io. New Premiere Pro feature Enhanced Speech uses Adobe Sensei AI to make voice recordings sound like they were recorded in a studio, even if the original recording is of poor quality, while Audio Category Tagging uses AI to determine which clips contain dialogue, which contain music and which are sound effects or ambient noise, and displays a relevant tool to work with them.
Paul Saccone, Senior Director of Adobe Video Marketing, said Adobe has “worked really hard to add things users are going to fi nd useful in their daily work”. The company has also improved the reliability and speed of Premiere Pro overall.
IBC attendees are the fi rst in the world to see Burano, the newest addition to Sony’s CineAlta family of high-end digital cinema cameras. With a sensor that matches the colour science of the Venice 2, Burano is the world’s fi rst digital cinema camera with a PL-Mount to feature in-body image stabilisation. Sennheiser is previewing the MKH 8030 RF condenser microphone with a fi gure-of-eight pick-up pattern, as well as M-S, double M-S and Blumlein stereo
