Premiere AI Assistant (beta) FAQs

Last updated on Jun 18, 2026

Get answers to common questions about the AI Assistant in Adobe Premiere (beta).

What is Premiere AI Assistant, and what does it do?

AI Assistant is a conversational agent inside Premiere. While most AI responds, AI Assistant orchestrates and executes: it understands what you're trying to do, chooses the right Premiere tools, and carries out complex, multi-step editing work on your behalf — organizing your project, preparing media, and assembling a first cut from your footage — all from plain-language direction. The editor always stays in control and calls the shots; the assistant handles the multi-step work behind the scenes.

Today, you can direct the AI Assistant to handle the Project panel and Timeline tasks, such as organizing footage into bins, naming and color-labeling clips, processing transcripts, detecting slates, adding markers, and assembling a stringout or first cut. It works with the source media you provide and can generate a new video. We're working on much more — such as versioning and cut-downs — but those aren't available yet. When they arrive, the principle stays the same: you direct it, it works from your footage, and every result comes back as a fully editable sequence.

Today, the AI Assistant works with the media and project items already in your Premiere project, and with what you direct it to in the Project panel and Timeline. Support for reference documents such as scripts or production notes to drive context and templated workflows is something we're exploring, but it isn't available today.

Editor control

The output is a fully editable Premiere sequence, nothing is locked or hidden in a "black box," so you can adjust it, re-cut it, or set it aside like any other timeline.

Every action the assistant takes is also in Premiere's undo and history stack, so you can step back through it the same way you step back through your own edits. And because it's built for conversation, you can describe what's off and keep going until the work is where you want it.

You can use the Thumbs-up or Thumbs-down buttons, along with the feedback option, to let us know what did or didn't work. You can also submit feedback through the Beta Support Community.

Yes. AI Assistant is a panel you choose to open and use. If you don't want it, simply leave it closed — it doesn't act on your project unless you direct it to.

AI information

AI Assistant draws on a range of tools and AI models across our creative ecosystem, including our Firefly family of models and partner models, to deliver the best possible creative outcome. You can see which tools and AI models it used in its reasoning and tool calls.

The AI Assistant is a new way of interacting with Premiere — natural language instead of clicks and keyboard shortcuts — so results are as safe as they would have been had you pressed all the buttons yourself. For any generative outputs, the AI Assistant automatically selects across both Firefly and partner models, depending on your request, unless a model is explicitly specified. The AI Assistant respects which models are enabled via the admin console when generating outputs.

Outputs created using Firefly models are considered safe for commercial use. When using outputs generated from partner models, you are responsible for determining whether a partner model is appropriate for your project.

No matter which generative AI models we may give a choice to use within our creative apps, user content isn't and will not be used to train generative AI models.

AI Assistant sees your project and timeline through Premiere's tools, items such as your clips, bins, sequences, metadata, transcripts, local Media Intelligence, and the current editing context, so it can act on what you ask. Some tools run locally, while others require media to be sent to the cloud for the AI Assistant to reason over, and we're committed to making it clear which is which so you can decide what's appropriate for your project.

No, connecting your own model isn't supported at this time.

Chat and history

Your conversation is saved in the AI Assistant panel, where you can revisit what you asked, what the assistant proposed, and what it executed. We are exploring enabling admins to export chat history.

Not today. Sharing conversations across a team and carrying your context between tools is part of where we're headed, but it isn't available yet.

Availability

AI Assistant is available in Premiere (beta) for testing and feedback. It will try to respond in the language you talk to it in, but it's currently optimized for English.

Users with access to the AI Assistant get complimentary daily credits to use exclusively on the Premiere AI Assistant during the beta. If you reach your daily limit, credits refresh at midnight GMT. This limit has no effect on your existing credit balance outside of AI Assistant. Credits from your paid plan don't cross over to the AI Assistant, and the complimentary credits from the AI Assistant cannot be used elsewhere.

Adobe may designate the Services and Software, or a feature of the Services and Software, as a prerelease or beta version ("Beta Version"). A Beta Version does not represent the final Services and Software and may contain bugs that may cause system or other failures and data loss. Adobe may choose not to release a commercial version of the Beta Version. Learn more about the terms of use for Beta Versions. It's in public beta now; we'll share the general availability timing when we're ready.
