Generative AI is a powerful series of tools that are completely changing the way that we think about creating in just about every medium, so it should come as no surprise that industry giant Adobe has already dipped its toe in withAdobe Firefly.
This suite of generative AI tools allows anybody to quickly and effortlessly create content for personal or commercial use and is currently entering into early access with a new range of impressive features.
What Is Adobe Firefly?
Adobe Firefly
Adobe has a huge range of different products available that you’ve likely heard of before such as Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, and many more. Recently, Adobe has also addedAdobe Fireflyto this lineup.
Adobe Firefly is a tool that allows you to use AI machine learning to generate a wide array of content such as images, audio, and video that you can use for whatever you see fit.
What really sets Adobe Firefly apart from other generative AI services is the fact that its generative model was trained entirely on images and content from Adobe Stock and other parts of the public domain, meaning that anything that Adobe Firefly creates is completely safe for commercial use.
Great New Features That Completely Change the Video Workflow
There are a lot of different ways that you can use Adobe Firefly, giving you unlimited creative control in a way that has been, until this point in time, unprecedented. Many of these features, such as generating images and audio, have been a part of Adobe Firefly for a while now, but there are plenty of new and exciting features that have only just been added that are worth taking note of.
Text to video
If you’re looking to quickly and easily create a video for just about any use you’re able to imagine, whether it be personal or commercial, Adobe Firefly has you covered. All you need to be able to use Adobe Firefly is the ability to describe the scene that you want created. Once you enter your prompt, Adobe Firefly handles the rest.
The more details you include in your prompt, the more detailed the end result will be. But if you want even finer control on the end product that you can get from Adobe Firefly, then there are also a bunch of additional settings that you can use to fine-tune what sort of result you get.
For instance, if you intend to use your video for a social media ad, you might prefer to generate your video in portrait mode, as opposed to landscape. Or, if you have a very specific shot in mind, then you can use the camera options that Adobe Firefly gives you in order to dictate the size of the shot, the camera angle, and the motion of the camera throughout the video.
Image to video
But what happens if you have a couple of images that would make for a truly captivating video if only you’d had the foresight to hit record at the time? That’s where Adobe Firefly’s image-to-video options come in.
By giving Adobe Firefly two still images, the program is able to use these images as key frames and then generate the video that happens between them. You still get all the extra options that you get with text-to-video such as camera controls, generation history, and more, making this the perfect way to easily generate b-roll, visual effects, and more.
Translate video
While automatic translation services have existed for quite some time now, this is still very different from making a video sound effortlessly integrated across multiple languages. Adobe Firefly’s audio and video translation tools are more than just translating the words that are being said from one language to another.
This service uses generative AI in order to maintain the voice, tone, and cadence of what is being said between one language and another, ensuring that whatever it is that you’re creating maintains the same feel even across multiple languages or in several regions.
On top of this, Adobe Firefly exists as a part of the Adobe ecosystem. This means that when you use Adobe Firefly, you can easily take what you’ve generated and take it to Adobe’s Photoshop web app to further touch it up and improve it.
Similarly, if you’re already a Creative Cloud member, then part of that plan will automatically give you a number of generative credits that you can use not only in Adobe Firefly, but also to make the most of generative AI features in Photoshop, Illustrator, and more.
How You Can Make the Most of What Firefly Has to Offer
There are a ton of different ways for you to try and enjoy Adobe Firefly. If any of these features sound like something that might be useful to you, then all you need to do to give them a try is create an Adobe account if you don’t have one already.
Adobe Firefly is entirely usable on Adobe’s free Firefly Free plan, which gives you access to video, audio, and image generation among other features. The number of credits that you get with this plan will be limited, and you won’t have unlimited access to all the features that Adobe Firefly has to offer.
In order to get access to these features, you’ll need a paid Firefly Standard or Firefly Pro plan, which will not only give you access to thousands of monthly generative credits, but unlimited access to all image and vector features such as text-to-image, generative fill, and many more.
In order to celebrate Adobe Firefly’s early access launch, there are special prices currently available for you to make the most of, as long as you pay for them before the 15th of March.
Alternatively, if you’re based in the US, Adobe is currently offering 40% off of its 12-month Annual Billed Monthly plan for Creative Cloud, which includes access to Adobe Firefly. This is a great way to dip your toe into not just Adobe Firefly, but also everything else Adobe has to offer, while still getting the benefit of huge savings at your fingertips.

As you can see, Adobe Firefly has a whole lot to offer for anybody looking for generative AI tools or simply just a better way to handle their video workflows.
