4:2:2 video color editing is now supported on PCs, which reduces file size and improves color grading and chroma keying; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 laptops are now available, accelerating AI-powered video editing features.
Adobe has just announced updates to Adobe Premiere Pro (beta) and Adobe Media Encoder, including PC support for 4:2:2 video color editing.The 4:2:2 color format retains nearly as much color information as 4:4:4, while greatly reducing file size and improving color grading and chroma keying.
Adobe Premiere Pro’s beta works within professional video-production workflows for: Increased Color Accuracy: 10-bit 4:2:2 retains more color information compared with 8-bit 4:2:0, leading to more accurate color representation and better color grading results.More Flexibility: The extra color data allows for more nuanced adjustments and color corrections.Improved Keying: 4:2:2 enables cleaner, more accurate extraction of the subject from the background, as well as cleaner edges of small keyed objects like hair.
Smaller File Sizes: Compared with 4:4:4, 4:2:2 reduces file sizes for an optimal balance between quality and storage.In addition, new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 laptops, built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, accelerate 4:2:2 and advanced AI-powered features across video-editing workflows.GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs paired with Microsoft Windows 11 come with GPU-powered decode acceleration in HEVC and H.264 10-bit 4:2:2 formats.
GPU-powered decode enables faster-than-real-time playback without stuttering, the ability to work with original camera media instead of proxies, smoother timeline responsiveness and reduced CPU load.RTX 50 Series’ 4:2:2 hardware can decode up to six 4K 60 frames-per-second video sources on an RTX 5090-enabled studio PC, enabling smooth multi-camera video-editing workflows on Adobe Premiere Pro.Adobe delivers a number of AI features for idea generation, enabling streamlined processes, improved productivity, and opportunities to explore new artistic avenues.
For example, Adobe Media Intelligence, a feature in Premiere Pro (beta) and After Effects (beta), uses AI to analyze footage and apply semantic tags to clips.This lets users more easily and quickly find specific footage by describing its content, including objects, locations, camera angles and even transcribed spoken words.In addition, the Enhance Speech feature in Premiere Pro (beta) improves the quality of recorded speech by filtering out unwanted noise.
Adobe will participate in the Creator Lab at NAB 2025, offering hands-on training for editors.Attendees to the 30-minute section can try out Puget Systems laptops equipped with GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs to experience blazing-fast performance and demo new generative AI features.Visit Adobe’s Premiere Pro page to download a free trial of the beta and explore the AI-powered features across the Adobe Creative Cloud and Substance 3D apps.
