Adobe has revealed an experimental tool called Project Super Sonic, which uses AI to simplify the process of generating sound effects and background audio for video content. Introduced at Adobe’s MAX conference, the prototype allows users to create audio through text prompts, object recognition, or even by mimicking the desired sound with their own voice. This innovation aims to speed up and enhance the audio creation process, giving users more control over their video projects.

While generating sound from text isn’t new, Adobe’s approach goes further. With object recognition, users can click on a video frame, and the tool will generate relevant sound effects for that scene. However, the most impressive feature allows users to imitate sounds themselves, with the AI automatically creating the matching audio in sync with the video.

Although currently just a demo, Adobe’s track record suggests Project Super Sonic may soon find its way into popular tools like Adobe Premiere, offering creators an efficient way to elevate their videos with high-quality audio.
