TOP STORY
📱 Premiere Pro app adds "Partner Models"
Adobe Premiere on iPhone now gives you access to third-party AI models (Flux, Runway, Google Gemini, and OpenAI) directly inside your mobile edit.
Each model is built for different creative needs (realistic motion, stylized imagery, precise text rendering), and you can switch between them without leaving your timeline.
Partner models support both text-to-image and image-to-video generation in the app.
They use generative credits, which are included with most Creative Cloud plans or available as an add-on for free users.

ANIMATION
🎬 LottieFiles launches "State Machines" on Figma
LottieFiles just launched State Machines on Figma.
Your prototype interactions now export as production-ready interactive animations (in one .Lottie file). No new tool. No rebuilding in code.
What's a dotLottie State Machine? A dotLottie (.lottie) is a compressed file format that bundles animation and interaction logic together in one file.
A State Machine defines how the animation responds to user actions (e.g., clicking a button triggers one state, hovering triggers another) without requiring any extra code from the developer's side.
Think of it as exporting your Figma prototype interactions as a live, deployable animation.
Supported triggers:
Click/tap, hover
Mouse enter/leave
Press and hold, and after delay.
Developers get auto-generated embed codes and CDN asset links directly from the plugin's Dev Mode.

🎥 HeyGen launches "Avatar V"
HeyGen launched Avatar V, its most advanced AI avatar model yet, built around one promise: your face, voice, and presence stay consistent across every video you generate, no matter the angle or how long it runs.
Upload a 15-second clip of yourself being yourself.
Avatar V captures your movement, expressions, and subtle quirks, then makes them available in any setting, outfit, or shot type you want to generate.
What sets this apart from previous models: most systems treat every frame as an isolated generation problem.
Avatar V treats your identity as a constant, building outward from a full video context window rather than a single reference image.
15 seconds is all it takes. No studio, no crew, no special lighting.
Any look, any setting. Change outfit or background without re-recording.
Every angle holds. Wide shot, medium, close-up (all consistent).
Any length. No identity drift over time.
175+ languages, with accurate lip sync throughout.
