Good morning. Adobe Firefly just crossed 30 AI video models. Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Runway Gen-4.5, all in one editor. Premiere also got built-in color grading for the first time. A $70M movie just wrapped with every background AI-generated. And AI insect POV videos are dominating TikTok right now. We cover all three below.
🎨 Adobe Just Dropped a Massive NAB Update
Adobe added Kling 3.0 and Kling 3.0 Omni to the Firefly Video Editor this week. That puts the total at 30+ AI video models in one browser-based editor, including Veo 3.1 and Runway Gen-4.5. They also added Enhance Speech, color controls, and a full Adobe Stock integration with 800M+ licensed assets. If you're still jumping between five different tools to make AI video, Firefly is trying to end that.
The other big move: Premiere now has a brand new Color Mode built from scratch. Professional color grading without leaving Premiere. No more bouncing to DaVinci Resolve. It's in public beta now for all Premiere subscribers.
Hollywood Just Made a $70M Movie With AI

Doug Liman, the director of The Bourne Identity, just wrapped Bitcoin: Killing Satoshi. A thriller starring Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, and Pete Davidson. 200 locations. Zero on-location shoots. The entire movie was filmed in 20 days inside a "gray box," a former car showroom wrapped in gray screen. Every background, every set, every lighting pass is AI-generated in post.
Producers say the movie would have been $300M using traditional production. AI brought it down to $70M. The film employed 107 cast members, 100 crew, and 55 AI artists who will spend 30 weeks building the environments in post. It's heading to Cannes in May to find a distributor. Whether you think it's the future or a tech demo, this is the biggest AI bet Hollywood has made yet.
🐜 Insect POV Videos Are Dominating TikTok Right Now
There's a massive trend on TikTok right now: AI-generated macro "mounted camera" insect POVs. Creators are prompting models to simulate a tiny camera strapped to the back of an ant navigating underground root systems, tunnels, and dirt. The videos look like nature documentaries shot from impossible angles. They're pulling millions of views.
The format works because it hits every algorithm trigger at once: continuous motion, high watch time, curiosity gap, and zero competition in the niche. If you're looking for a faceless AI video niche that's working right now, this is it. One creator documenting the workflow already has a video with 50M+ views.
