The latest Firefly update adds high-precision video editing, camera motion control, new partner AI models, a public beta editor, and a limited-time offer for eligible users to generate unlimited AI images and videos.
adobe announced significant expansions to its Firefly-generated AI platform, introducing new tools designed to give creators more control over their AI-generated video and image content. This update enhances Firefly's capabilities across video creation, editing accuracy, and output quality, and enables broader access through a public beta release of the video editor.
The company says the improvements are aimed at helping creators improve AI-generated content without losing their creative intent, making Firefly more practical for professional video and design workflows.
Improved accuracy of AI video editing
An important addition is Firefly's new “edit prompt” feature for videos. Instead of regenerating the entire clip, users can now use text commands to make targeted changes to existing AI-generated footage. These edits include removing or replacing objects, changing the background, adjusting lighting, adjusting composition, etc. while preserving the original structure of the scene.
Adobe also introduced camera motion control within the Firefly Video Model. By uploading a starting frame along with a reference video to guide camera movement, creators can achieve smoother, more cinematic movement while maintaining control over framing and subject placement.
Upscaling, new models, public beta launch
Firefly Boards now support video upscaling with Topaz Astra, allowing creators to enhance low-resolution footage up to 1080p or 4K. The tool can restore old clips and handle multiple videos in the queue, allowing users to continue working without any delays.
On the imaging side, Adobe has added Black Forest Labs' FLUX.2 to its growing list of partner models. This model focuses on photorealistic output, improved text rendering, and multiple reference image generation, and broader availability across Adobe applications is planned.
Adobe also launched a public beta of its browser-based Firefly video editor. The editor supports multitrack timelines, text-based video editing, and export options suitable for both social platforms and traditional production workflows.
To encourage experimentation, Adobe is offering unlimited image and video generation on select Firefly plans until January 15th, giving creators a limited window of time to explore the platform without usage limits.
