Adobe's AI-powered tool, called Corrective AI, allows for the manipulation of a voice-over to change its tone and style. The tool can be used to correct an unconvincing delivery, add emotional depth to a script, or even completely re-write a voice-over from scratch.
During an exclusive demo at Adobe's MAX Sneaks event, WIRED saw firsthand how Corrective AI works. A matter-of-fact voice-over, devoid of emotion, was highlighted in a transcript and then transformed into a confident delivery with just the click of a button. The tool can also be used to adjust the level of emotional intensity, creating a more nuanced performance.
But that's not all - Adobe has also developed Project Clean Take, an AI-powered sound effects generator that can separate voices from background noise in audio tracks. This feature is particularly useful for video editors and creators who often struggle with unwanted ambient sounds or music in their footage.
For instance, imagine shooting a scene in public where licensed music is playing in the background. Without Project Clean Take, this could result in an automatic copyright strike on your video. With Corrective AI's sound effects generator, however, you can easily remove the copyrighted track and replace it with a similar one from Adobe Stock, all while maintaining the desired ambiance.
These features demonstrate the rapid evolution of AI technology within the creative industry. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Adobe is helping to streamline workflows, reduce production time, and ultimately improve overall audio quality.
In a broader context, these developments also come at a time when video game voice actors have ended their nearly year-long strike in an effort to secure protections around AI-generated content - specifically, re-creations of their voices or likenesses. Adobe's announcement serves as another indicator that the creative industry is grappling with the implications of AI on its business models and workflow.
While these tools are not yet available for public use, they represent a future where AI will be seamlessly integrated into the Adobe Creative Suite, enabling users to create more polished, professional audio content.
