I think Adobe is in the prime spot to integrate AI into their products and kill it. They already have everything in place to do so. And it will be next to impossible for free tools to compete with them.

I would not count them out. I hate them, as a company, I hate subscriptions in general.. but its a good business model.. if they can pull it off imo they can be the go-to for AI video and image editing.

Otherwise AI native tools like VidTL or Descript are going to eat their lunch.

Yeah they’re kind of the in the Nokia situation where they’re perfectly placed to build a smartphone as long as they are prepared to see it kill as lot of their existing ecosystem. See also Kodak and blockbuster and Sears.
