Next-Generation Video Creation Tools
Adobe Firefly continues its evolution as a comprehensive creative AI platform, introducing powerful new video tools that deliver unprecedented control and choice in video generation. The latest updates bring precision editing capabilities, enhanced camera motion control, industry-leading video upscaling, and a full beta launch of Firefly video editor.
To support creative exploration, Adobe is expanding its offer of unlimited generations with Firefly's video model and all image models — both Firefly and partner models — until January 15 for everyone with a Firefly Pro, Firefly Premium, 7,000-credit, or 50,000-credit plan.
Precision Edits with Prompt to Edit
The frustration is familiar: you generate a clip of a coffee shop that's almost perfect, but there's a random cup on a table. Until now, you'd have to regenerate the entire clip, losing what was good in the process and wasting time trying to recreate it.
New Prompt to Edit controls for video let you keep the good and surgically remove the bad. You can now generate a video in Firefly and then make precision refinements using text editing with Runway's Aleph model, using specific instructions like:
- "Remove the person on the left side of the frame."
- "Replace the background with a clean studio backdrop."
- "Change the sky to overcast and lower the contrast."
- "Zoom in slightly on the main subject."
Firefly makes those changes directly in the existing clip. You're no longer at the mercy of the next random generation — you're directing the scene. You can continue to refine by adding sound effects or music tracks, and edit further within Firefly video editor or Premiere desktop.
Camera Motion Control
Firefly now gives you more control over how the camera moves through your scene. With Firefly Video Model, you can upload your start frame image along with a reference video showing the camera motion you want to recreate. You get the cinematic camera movements you want, anchored exactly where you need them.
Together, Prompt to Edit and camera motion reference can save hours of trial and error, let you preserve your "one great take," and give you more ways to apply your creative style to every shot.
Video Upscaling with Topaz Astra
Generative AI isn't only about generating content — it's also about tools that make it adaptable, integrated, and actionable across workflows. Topaz Astra, now available in Firefly Boards, lets you push your footage to 1080p or 4K.
Use it to:
- Boost low-resolution clips for YouTube feeds
- Restore older or low-quality footage to enhance clarity and detail
- Give archival brand material or personal clips a second life in new edits and formats
While your video is upscaled in Boards, you can do other tasks simultaneously — or even queue up more videos on your Boards to upscale — keeping you in the creative flow.
Expanded Image Model Options
Adobe continues expanding choice in industry-leading imaging models. You can now access FLUX.2, the latest image model from Black Forest Labs, which generates and edits images with photorealistic detail, offers advanced text rendering, and can support up to four reference images.
FLUX.2 is available in Firefly's Text to Image module, Prompt to Edit, and Firefly Boards, as well as in Photoshop desktop's Generative Fill, and in Adobe Express starting January.
Firefly Video Editor (Public Beta)
You can now build complete videos in Firefly video editor, the browser-based video editor where Firefly generations become finished stories. The platform is now broadly available in public beta.
With Firefly video editor, build complete videos right in your browser, combining generated clips, music tracks, and visuals with your own footage, then shaping them in a lightweight, multi-track timeline.
You choose how you want to work:
- Edit by timeline when you want precise control over pacing, cuts, and layers
- Edit by text when working with talking-head or interview content — trim or rearrange segments just by editing the text in the transcript
When done, export in the formats your story needs, from vertical social posts to widescreen edits. Firefly video editor is where all your Firefly creations come together — turning AI generations, live footage, and audio into cohesive, shareable stories in one place.
Unlimited Generations Promotion
From now until January 15, customers on Firefly Pro, Firefly Premium, 7,000-credit, and 50,000-credit plans get unlimited image and video generations in the Adobe Firefly app.
The promotion includes all image models — including Firefly's commercially safe image model and industry-leading partner models like Black Forest Labs' FLUX.2, Google's Nano Banana, and OpenAI's GPT Image — as well as unlimited videos with the Firefly Video Model.
With this, you have the freedom to experiment freely with new ideas, knowing you can refine a concept as many times as it takes to get it right.
