NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series Supercharges Adobe Premiere Pro With 4:2:2 Color Support and AI Enhancements

NVIDIA has announced that Adobe Premiere Pro (beta) and Media Encoder now support 4:2:2 video color editing on PC, a major upgrade for professional video editors. This format delivers nearly the same color richness as 4:4:4 with significantly smaller file sizes, enhancing color grading and chroma keying performance. Combined with NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 laptops — powered by the Blackwell architecture — these updates bring powerful efficiency and speed to editing workflows.

The new RTX 50 Series GPUs accelerate playback and export of 4:2:2 10-bit HEVC and H.264 video formats, enabling real-time editing of high-resolution, multi-camera projects. The GPUs also feature the latest NVENC encoder, which boosts encoding efficiency and reduces CPU usage.

NVIDIA’s hardware also enhances Adobe’s AI-driven features. *Media Intelligence* in Premiere Pro and After Effects runs 30% faster on the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, helping editors locate footage using smart tags based on objects, locations, and spoken words. The *Enhance Speech* tool, which cleans up audio recordings, runs seven times faster than on the MacBook Pro M4 Max.

These capabilities are showcased at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, where Adobe and NVIDIA are offering hands-on training. With performance boosts, AI integration, and studio-grade features, RTX 50 Series laptops are optimized for content creators through the NVIDIA Studio platform.
