Opportunities for enterprises

Last month at Adobe Summit we released the latest edition of Creative Cloud for Enterprise includes increased Firefly credits and the general availability of new innovations including Object Composites and Style Kits. Object Composites allow creative teams to seamlessly blend products and objects into high quality generative scenes - inclusive of tones, colors, lighting, and textures - in seconds. Creative teams can also easily re-size, move, and place objects in these scenes, eliminating highly time-consuming manual work while retaining full creative control. Style Kits enable teams to create templates to save and reuse Firefly prompts, reference assets, and other presets that can be shared across teams and apps for collaborative and consistent generative AI output across the enterprise.

AI Innovations across video, collaboration and digital experiences

We're committed to democratizing AI with recent innovations that deliver powerful generative AI wherever and whenever our customers need it, including major releases in Adobe Premiere Pro, Frame.io, Adobe Express, and Reader and Acrobat across desktop and mobile.

Last week, at NAB, we previewed breakthrough generative AI innovations within Adobe Premiere Pro that will reimagine video creation and production workflows, delivering new creative possibilities that every pro editor needs to keep up with the high-speed pace of video production. New generative AI tools coming to Premiere Pro this year enable users to streamline editing all videos, including adding or removing objects in a scene or extending an existing clip. These new editing workflows will be powered by a new video model that will join the family of Firefly models including Image, Vector, Design and Text Effects.

We also recently introduced the next generation of Frame.io, delivering a flexible, fast and intuitive creative collaboration platform that streamlines and simplifies workflows across content creation and production. Frame.io V4 is designed to meet the complex needs of creative teams delivering personalized content at scale by centralizing feedback, helping to reduce rounds of revisions and accelerating the delivery of media assets. With all-new workflow management capabilities, anchored by a dynamic metadata framework and smart folder system called Collections, V4 introduces a cloud-based platform that is fully customizable, powerful and flexible enough to facilitate any creative workflow - for video, and beyond.

These new features highlighted here are just a sampling of what we released today. From brand new generative AI models to new features to performance enhancements - we're continuing to reinvent workflows and innovate faster than ever. We're excited for you to start exploring and can't wait to see what you create!
