Adobe is also adding some new tools and features to Firefly in general. These are also worth considering.
Beta release of Adobe Firefly video editor
The most notable news here is that Firefly Video Editor, Adobe's browser-based video editor that promises to turn Firefly generations into finished stories, is now widely available in public beta. Although distinctly different from Premiere (or Premiere Mobile), the Firefly video editor allows users to work in the following styles:
- Edit in the timeline if you want precise control over pacing, cuts, and layers.
- If you want to manipulate the speaker or interview content, edit it in text. You can trim or rearrange segments by simply editing the text within the transcript.
Users can export videos in the format they need for their content, including options from vertical social posts to widescreen editing.

The other big news here is that Adobe is rolling out new editing prompts features and other additional camera motion controls for the AI generation.
Edit prompts utilize Runway's Aleph mod,el, which allows for specific editing instructions. Users will now have more control over how the camera moves within the scene with new camera motion control options.
Adobe also announced a new partnership with Topaz Astra, available on Firefly Boards, to allow users to push footage to 1080p or 4K. This is intended to enhance low-resolution clips as a way to make them sharp enough for YouTube feeds and other places.
