What's in it:
Adobe put five AI video models on the Premiere timeline. You draw a range on a track, describe what belongs there, and fill it. The model picker sits next to the credit cost. After Effects got an assistant that builds real expression rigs you can still open and edit.
OpenAI switches Sora off on September 24. Thirteen days. The replacement column on their own deprecation page is empty on every row. If you have work sitting in a Sora account, go export it.
Gemini Omni 1.1 traded spectacle for control. Scene extension to forty seconds, and you can now specify the first and last frame of a shot.
Danny Boyle disclosed using AI in Ink. Katzenberg is reportedly building a company to make the tools. Two names you know, moving from opposite ends of the business.
And a habit worth stealing: log the exact model name and version with every generated shot. Runway killed two models in July with no grace period. Made in Runway is worthless in two years. gen4_aleph is worth something.
The Sora one is the only thing with a clock on it. Everything else keeps.
