Adobe Premiere to Get Supercharged With New NVIDIA RTX Spark Partnership

As part of a strategic partnership announced earlier this year between Adobe and NVIDIA, the two companies have shared that this merging of minds is set to bring new, supercharged capabilities to some of Adobe’s most popular creative apps, such as Photoshop and Premiere.

Powered by NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark superchip, apps like Adobe Premiere are set to be able to provide 2x faster AI, editing, color, and effects across creative workflows in the app. This means that users editing a film, retouching an image, or building a full 3D scene from scratch will have some advanced powers at their disposal.

That is, all according to the companies in their latest announcements surrounding this lightning-rod new superchip. Here’s what we know so far.

Adobe and NVIDIA Partnership

As we covered when it was first announced, the strategic partnership between Adobe and NVIDIA was also going to bring new power-ups to Adobe’s creative tools, with the focus, obviously, on AI or AI-adjacent capabilities.

“The best creative work in the world happens in Adobe tools from Adobe Firefly to Photoshop and Premiere, and the expansion of our partnership with NVIDIA and Microsoft will make those experiences faster and more powerful than ever. Together, we are building AI-native creative experiences for RTX Spark that deliver the performance, intelligence and responsiveness people need to create at the pace of their ambition.” - Shantanu Narayen, chair and CEO of Adobe.

So, it’s of no surprise that the focus of this latest announcement is on the AI capabilities being powered up and expanded for apps like Photoshop and Premiere. The biggest surprise might simply be how quickly this speed-up came and just how much it’s likely to improve workflows.

The focus of the news here might simply be on how apps like Premiere and Photoshop will get improvements with Firefly-powered features like Generative Fill in Photoshop and Generative Extend in Premiere, along with hundreds of other tools built into these programs.

NVIDIA RTX Spark Superchip

The other big news here is NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark, a 1-petaflop superchip that promises a new beginning for personal computers. In its announcement, NVIDIA calls out this partnership with Adobe to “rearchitect” apps like Premiere and Photoshop for its new superchip.

According to this most recent announcement, here’s a breakdown of how this partnership is going to impact apps used by creatives every day:

• Premiere is getting a new video pipeline built on RTX Spark's unified memory, Blackwell GPU and TensorRT, so you get more real-time performance when editing and color correcting, faster rendering of even your most complex timelines and AI that’s GPU-accelerated.
• Photoshop’s architecture is reimaged with GPU-accelerated compositing at its core, giving you live filters, HDR, and new oil and watercolor brushing capabilities that feel more natural than ever, all powered by an AI-native pipeline, accelerated by TensorRT, designed to keep up with your creativity.
• Substance 3D Painter and Stager will natively leverage RTX Spark for a smoother, more responsive texturing and scene creation experience.
