Remix
The new feature promises to help Adobe Premiere Pro editors to save their time when rearranging the length of a music track for a specific duration. The software relies on AI-based Adobe Sensei technology to analyze the content of the track. Then the music structure is rearranged in order to match the new target duration. If users aren’t satisfied with the result, they can try an alternative remix adjust the new “Segments” and “Variations” sliders in the Essential Sound Panel.
Of course, this is still a beginning phase for the feature. The results may not be satisfactory for all tastes, but there’s room for improvements with new updates.
