Adobe has launched the Firefly Video Model in public beta, marking the introduction of the first generative AI video model that is IP-friendly and safe for commercial use. This groundbreaking model, available through the Firefly web application and in Adobe Premiere Pro, promises to revolutionize the way creative professionals generate video content. Designed with an emphasis on production readiness and creative control, the Firefly Video Model aims to provide a seamless workflow for brands, media agencies, and entertainment professionals.
The Firefly Video Model offers an IP-friendly approach to video creation, enabling users to generate high-quality video clips from simple text prompts, images, and 3D sketches. Whether creating cinematic shots, crafting atmospheric elements, or generating professional-quality b-roll, this new tool offers unmatched control over the creative process. Initial offerings support 1080p resolution, with 4K capabilities on the horizon, making it ideal for both high-speed iteration and professional production needs.
Adobe’s commitment to creative professionals is evident in its new Firefly Standard and Firefly Pro plans, which give users flexible access to new video and audio capabilities, alongside Firefly’s renowned image and vector generation tools. These offerings are designed to accommodate the diverse needs of creative teams, from small enterprises to large global agencies.
“We’ve been thrilled to hear from beta customers who have found the Firefly Video Model to be a game-changer for ideating and producing stunning videos,” said David Wadhwani, president of Adobe’s digital media business. “We can’t wait to see how the creative community uses it to bring their stories to life.”
A New Era for Creative Professionals
Adobe’s Firefly ecosystem has evolved into a comprehensive platform for generating images, videos, and other creative content, providing unparalleled creative control for professionals. The Firefly web application now serves as the ultimate destination for producing and refining content, with seamless integration into Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Adobe Express. This integration allows creative professionals to move effortlessly from ideation to production, enhancing workflows and ensuring high-quality results.
The Firefly Video Model enables the creation of videos, animations, and more through simple text prompts. Users can control camera angles, manipulate scene elements, and develop custom motion design elements with intuitive, easy-to-use controls. For instance, the Generate Video feature allows professionals to lock in the first and last frames of a shot, preserving visual continuity and consistency in the final product.
Adobe also introduced the Scene to Image feature, which enables creative professionals to transform 3D sketches and reference shapes into high-resolution images. This tool is particularly useful for designers looking to create precise visual guides or structure references that can be used across various media formats.

The Firefly platform also includes the ability to translate audio and video content into multiple languages while preserving the original tone, cadence, and acoustic nuances. This feature, which supports over 20 languages, simplifies the process of reaching global audiences and reduces the time and cost typically associated with dubbing and translation services.
Flexible Plans for Every Need
Adobe’s new Firefly plans offer users tiered pricing options to suit different levels of usage. The Firefly Standard plan starts at $9.99 per month and grants access to 2,000 video/audio credits, allowing for up to 20 five-second 1080p video generations. The Firefly Pro plan, priced at $29.99 per month, provides 7,000 credits and supports up to 70 five-second 1080p video generations. Additionally, Adobe plans to roll out a Premium plan soon for high-volume creators and teams, offering even more expansive video and audio generation capacity.
For large brands and creative agencies, including names like Dentsu, Gatorade, and Stagwell, Firefly is already proving to be an invaluable tool. These industry leaders have praised Firefly’s ability to scale content production while maintaining full creative control. Its innovative approach to video generation is helping them meet the growing demands of modern content creation.
Responsible AI: Transparency and Ethical Practices
Adobe continues to lead the way in ensuring that AI tools are used responsibly. The Firefly Video Model, like all Adobe AI tools, is trained exclusively on content that Adobe has the rights to use, including licensed content from Adobe Stock and public domain materials. This ensures that creators can use Firefly with confidence, knowing that the content generated is legally compliant and free from copyright risks.
As part of its ongoing commitment to transparency in the digital content ecosystem, Adobe is also incorporating its Content Credentials technology into the Firefly Video Model. Content Credentials provide a “nutrition label” for digital content, allowing users to verify whether a piece of content was AI-generated. This feature is part of Adobe’s leadership in the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), a project aimed at improving trust in digital media.
A Game-Changer for the Creative Industry
With Firefly, Adobe is offering a powerful toolset for creatives across industries to generate, edit, and refine visual content with unmatched control and efficiency. As the platform continues to evolve, it is poised to transform the way brands, agencies, and media professionals produce content at scale.
