make engaging videos is n’t only about the visuals . So much of the appeal of secure video content is about the audio , but finding ( or perhaps even creating ) the proper audio effects can be a time - squander process . At its yearly MAX league , Adobe is demonstrate off Project Super Sonic , an experimental prototype demo that indicate how you could one day use text - to - audio , object realisation , and even your own voice to chop-chop return setting audio and audio effects for your video projects .
Being capable to generate audio effects from a text prompt is fun , but give that ElevenLabs and others already offer this commercially , it may not be quite as groundbreaking ceremony .
What ’s more interesting here is that Adobe is taking all of this a step further by adding two additional modes to make these soundtracks . The first is by using its object recognition manakin to let you snap on any part of a video frame , create a prompt for you and then mother that sound . That ’s a wise elbow room to combine multiple model into a single workflow .
The actual wow moment , however , come with the third fashion , which lets you immortalise yourself imitating the strait you are look for ( timed to the video ) , and then having Project Super Sonic generate the appropriate audio recording automatically .
Justin Salamon , the head of Sound Design AI at Adobe , separate me that the squad started with the text - to - audio model — and he noted that like all Adobe generative AI undertaking , the squad only used commissioned data point .
“ What we really wanted is to give our users verify over the appendage . We want this to be a tool for creators , for levelheaded designer , for everyone who wants to advance their video with sound . And so we wanted to go beyond the initial workflow of text to sound and that ’s why we work on like the vocal control that really gives you that precise control over energy and timing , that really sour it into an expressive tool , ” Salamon explained .
For the outspoken mastery , the tool actually analyzes the dissimilar characteristics of the voice and the spectrum of the speech sound you are making and uses that to conduct the generation appendage . Salamon noted that while the demo uses voice , users could also clap their hands or toy an instrument , too .

It ’s worth noting that Adobe MAX always feature a numeral of what it calls “ sneak . ” These , like Project Super Sonic , are meant to be showcases of some of the observational features the company is work on right now . While many of these project do recover their way into Adobe ’s Creative Suite , there ’s no warranty that they will . And while Project Super Sonic would sure as shooting be a utilitarian gain to something like Adobe Premiere , there ’s also a fortune that we will never see it again .
One rationality I believe this undertaking will make it into production is that the same group also run on the audio portion ofGenerative Extend , a feature of its Firefly generative AI model that extend short telecasting clip by a few seconds — including their audio cartroad . As of now , though , Project Super Sonic remains a demo .
