NVIDIA and Adobe Premiere Unveil New AI-Powered Tools at NAB Show 2026

At the NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas, Adobe and NVIDIA unveiled a new Adobe Premiere Color Mode in beta, designed to integrate color grading directly into Premiere Pro with GPU acceleration on NVIDIA RTX and RTX PRO systems.

The new Color Mode operates in 32-bit color depth for the first time, delivering significantly faster performance and improved quality by tapping into GPU acceleration for computationally intensive tasks like bidirectional controls, multi-zone tonal shaping, and stacked color operations.

Editors can work with up to six luminance adjustment zones, moving beyond traditional highlights, midtones and shadows models to enable more nuanced tonal control and finer adjustments across the image.

The interface features a clean, responsive design with a large program monitor for immediate visual feedback, a clip grid view to visualize progression across shots, and controls organized into focused modules that can be active simultaneously for flexibility while maintaining clarity.

Every element is designed to guide editors through the grading process without distractions.

Visual scopes are context-aware and dynamically adapt based on the selected tool, with HUD overlays providing visual cues directly within the scopes to help editors understand how adjustments affect the image without interpreting complex graphs.

Project G-Assist: Enhanced Recommendations and Controls

NVIDIA also launched an update to Project G-Assist, an experimental AI assistant that helps tune, control and optimize GeForce RTX systems, now featuring an advanced detection system for gaming settings and an enhanced knowledge system for higher accuracy in esports and AAA gaming advice.

The assistant can now configure advanced RTX features from the NVIDIA App, including DLSS Overrides, Smooth Motion, RTX HDR, Digital Vibrance and encoder settings, expanding its control across more system settings.

Project G-Assist v0.2.1 is available for download from the NVIDIA App.
