- Variety notes it is still early research only, with no product plans confirmed yet.
Variety reports that Adobe is previewing a tool that could let video editors tweak scenes on the fly with generative AI. The demo took place at the Adobe MAX 2026 Sneaks panel, according to Variety.
The feature, called Project Live Set, aims to apply changes like swapping a subject or shifting the camera angle and show results right away, Variety reports. No waiting for the model to finish, according to Variety.
Gautham Mysore from Adobe’s research team told Variety the goal is to keep creative flow going instead of pausing for processing. He described it as a “sketching tool for moving images.”
Variety notes the demo involved a black cat video getting four simultaneous prompts: chef’s hat, shiba inu swap, alligator in a Miami shirt, and puppy in a tuxedo. All previews showed up live in the editing window.
“Project Live Set will allow creators and filmmakers to generate and edit video at the speed of thought,”
This is still early research, not a promised product, Variety reports. Variety adds that Sneaks sessions often test ideas that later land in tools like Premiere or Photoshop, but nothing is confirmed yet.
According to Variety, the session, hosted by Terry Crews on Nov. 11, is previewing ten such experiments across video, audio and design.
The Tea
Real-time AI edits could cut the endless waiting that kills momentum on shoots. If it works, creators might actually play with ideas instead of guessing what a prompt will spit out later. Still early days, but the vibe at MAX suggests Adobe wants to own the “edit while it plays” lane.
