Adobe has launched a beta version of Premiere Color Mode, a dedicated colour grading workspace built into Premiere Pro that runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX and Nvidia RTX PRO graphics processing units, as part of a package of RTX-accelerated announcements at the NAB Show in Las Vegas.
The NAB Show is an annual broadcast and media industry gathering that attracts more than 60,000 content professionals.
Premiere Color Mode provides a redesigned grading interface featuring a large programme monitor, a clip grid for tracking shot progression, contextual heads-up displays and focused modules for specific grading tasks.
GPU acceleration powers bidirectional controls, multi-zone tonal shaping and stacked colour operations, with the system supporting up to six luminance adjustment zones for precise tonal control across highlights, shadows and midtones.
Nvidia said the entire system operates at 32-bit colour depth precision, a specification that reduces banding and rounding errors in high-dynamic-range and wide-gamut workflows compared with lower bit-depth pipelines.
The workspace is designed to give video editors a cleaner, more responsive grading environment within Premiere without switching to a dedicated application such as DaVinci Resolve, consolidating the editing and colour workflow on a single platform.
Separately, Nvidia announced an update to Project G-Assist, its on-device AI assistant for gaming and content creation, releasing version 0.2.1 with a gaming-settings detector, an enhanced knowledge system and expanded controls for RTX features.
The updated assistant can adjust settings including DLSS Overrides, Smooth Motion, RTX HDR, Digital Vibrance and encoder configuration directly from the Nvidia App, reducing the need to navigate multiple settings menus during or between sessions.
DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is Nvidia's AI-based upscaling technology that renders games at lower resolutions and reconstructs detail to improve frame rates without a proportional loss in image quality.
Project G-Assist v0.2.1 is available through the Nvidia App, and a Stream Deck plug-in enabling hardware button control of the assistant is available via mod.io.
The recap
- Adobe debuts Premiere Color Mode beta with built-in grading.
- System runs in 32-bit color depth and six luminance zones.
- Project G-Assist v0.2.1 adds settings control and detection.
