Summary
On the show floor at NAB in Las Vegas, Jim Tierney of Digital Anarchy discusses ShotNotes , a Premiere Pro panel that keeps project notes, time codes, links, timers, and collaboration details inside the edit instead of scattered across documents or sticky notes. He also previews Beauty Box Video AI development and explains where generative AI can help video pros, where traditional AI still shines, and why AI is useful but not a magic bullet.
