00:00Adobe just dropped some major news about their upcoming Firefly video model, and this is going to change the way video editing works.
00:09It's not just a slight upgrade or another cool feature.
00:12This is something big, something that's about to shift the entire editing landscape.
00:17For those who've been following Adobe's recent moves, you'll remember how back in March 2023 they launched Firefly, their set of generative AI models.
00:26Since then, Firefly has been a huge hit in the creative space, and it's made a serious impact on how designers and creators work.
00:33In fact, Firefly has already powered a lot of the tools we use in Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Express,
00:38like Generative Fill in Photoshop, Generative Remove in Lightroom, Generative Shape, Fill in Illustrator, and Text-to-Template in Adobe Express.
00:47It's been a real game-changer, and here's a crazy stat for you.
00:50Over 12 billion images and vectors have been created with Firefly globally.
00:55That makes it one of the fastest adopted techs in Adobe's history, which, let's be real, is pretty impressive.
01:01But now, Adobe's moving into the world of video with Firefly, and the timing couldn't be better.
01:06These days, video is everything. It's how people engage.
01:10With platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts just blowing up, everyone's hungry for more video content, and they want it fast.
01:18So, as editors and content creators, we're getting asked to produce more, often with tighter deadlines.
01:23We're talking about doing it all, editing, color correction, animation, VFX, sound design, and doing it fast.
01:30It's a lot. And that's exactly why Adobe's new Firefly video model is such a big deal.
01:35It's not just adding new tools to your workflow. It's about opening up possibilities, letting you move faster, and helping you stay creative under pressure.
01:43So, here's the cool part. Firefly's got some incredible new features coming, and one of the most mind-blowing is this text-to-video capability.
01:52It's pretty much what it sounds like. You can use text prompts to generate full video content.
01:57And on top of that, you'll have access to camera controls, things like angle, motion, zoom, so you can tweak the video exactly how you want.
02:05Let's say you need a cinematic close-up of a reindeer in a snowy forest, maybe at sunset, and you want the lighting to look super dramatic.
02:12Firefly's gonna whip that up in under two minutes.
02:16And here's another feature I'm really excited about, image-to-video.
02:19This lets you take any still shot or illustration and turn it into a live-action clip.
02:24It's perfect for when you've got killer stills or illustrations, but want to add motion and depth to them without needing advanced animation skills.
02:31Now, for those of you working in Premiere Pro, this next feature is going to be a real lifesaver.
02:36Adobe's introducing Generative Extend.
02:39Basically, it allows you to extend clips to cover gaps in footage, smooth out transitions, or just hold on to a shot longer for better pacing.
02:47We've all had those moments when you're editing a video and realize you need just a few more seconds to match the beat of a song or to nail the flow of your edit.
02:56Usually, that would mean reshooting or trying some awkward workaround, but with Generative Extend, you can generate extra frames seamlessly.
03:04Let's say you've got a dramatic scene and the music builds up longer than your footage.
03:09Instead of cutting it short or looping the same clip, you just use Generative Extend to add the extra frames you need, and the shot still looks natural.
03:16No weird, awkward cuts.
03:18And Adobe's been really thoughtful about the ethics behind it.
03:28The Firefly video model is commercially safe, meaning it's only trained on content Adobe has permission to use.
03:35It's never using customer content or anything copyrighted without consent.
03:39So when you create with Firefly, you're not stepping on anyone's toes legally.
03:45You're not going to run into issues down the line because everything it's trained on is fair game.
03:50Alright, now let's get into some practical examples because this is where it gets really interesting.
03:55One of the areas where Firefly excels is in generating videos of the natural world.
04:00Say you're working on a project and you realize you need an establishing shot of a snowy forest at sunset, but you didn't get that shot during production.
04:09Instead of scrambling to find stock footage or worse, having to go back out and shoot it yourself, you can simply generate it with Firefly.
04:16You could type something like,
04:17Drone shot going between the trees of a snowy forest at sunset golden hour.
04:22The lighting is cinematic and gorgeous and soft and sun-kissed with golden backlight and dreamy bokeh and lens flares.
04:29The color grade is cinematic and magical.
04:32And just like that, within minutes the model hands you a high-quality video clip that fits right into your project.
04:38If you're working on a scene and need atmospheric elements like fire, smoke, dust, or water effects, the AI can help you create those from scratch.
04:46You can generate the elements you need and then easily layer them onto your footage using tools like Premiere Pro or After Effects.
04:53For example, if you need realistic flames in a particular shot, you can create a flame overlay and then place it directly into your scene.
05:01And if you're into animation, you can ideate and create 2D or 3D animations, including stop motion or claymation style clips, without having to be a professional animator.
05:11Now another area where Firefly really shines is in custom text effects.
05:16If you need a specific effect, like water splashing and freezing into the shape of a word, you can just describe it to the AI and it will generate the effect for you.
05:25And the camera controls, angle, motion, zoom, you name it.
05:29The level of detail you can get from Firefly is mind-blowing.
05:33Let's say you want a dramatic slow-motion volcanic scene with lava spewing out and splashing onto the camera lens.
05:39The model will deliver that kind of intensity with all the rich camera motion and lighting you need.
05:44Now, collaboration is always a huge part of any creative process and sharing your vision with a team can be tricky.
05:51Adobe's already got tools like Frame, Dio to streamline collaboration, but with Firefly you can quickly generate visuals or animations to communicate your ideas faster.
06:01So basically, just generate it, share it, and get feedback.
06:05It's faster, it's easier, and it keeps everyone on the same page.
06:08Let's go back to Generative Extend for a second, because it's so powerful.
06:11If you're editing a scene and need a bit more footage to match the pacing, traditionally you'd have to either slow down the footage, loop part of it, or cut it awkwardly.
06:20With Generative Extend, you can add extra frames seamlessly.
06:24The AI studies your existing footage and generates new frames that fit perfectly, extending your shot without breaking the flow.
06:31In addition to extending clips, Generative Extend also allows editors to create smoother transitions between scenes.
06:38When two clips don't match in length or pacing, the AI can generate frames to bridge the gap, resulting in a seamless transition without abrupt cuts.
06:47Technically, Firefly's Generative Extend works by analyzing motion vectors, lighting, and textures to predict and create new frames that blend naturally with the original footage.
06:57This ensures the added frames maintain the same look and feel as the rest of the video.
07:02This feature saves time and resources, as it eliminates the need for reshoots or stock footage, making it especially valuable for projects with tight budgets or deadlines.
07:12It looks like Adobe's been working closely with the creative community, listening to feedback from video editors and creators to make sure this model really addresses our needs.
07:20They've put in a lot of work to make sure that Firefly is going to streamline workflows and make life easier for us.
07:26And again, they've made sure that all the AI models are ethically trained.
07:30Everything is commercially safe, and Firefly is only trained on content Adobe has permission to use.
07:36Your content is your own.
07:38All of these features are expected to roll out later this year in beta, and if you want to get early access, you can join the waitlist.
07:45Just head over to firefly.adobe.com, sign up, and Adobe will notify you when it's available.
07:52It's quick, and you'll be one of the first to test out this groundbreaking technology.
07:56What's clear is that the Firefly video model is going to revolutionize the way we edit video.
08:02It's not just about speeding up workflows, though that's a huge benefit.
08:06It's about pushing creative boundaries.
08:09With tools like these, we're no longer limited by budget or time constraints.
08:13Adobe is committed to making this tool something that truly benefits the creative community,
08:18and I can't wait to see how we'll all start using it to create better, more engaging content.
08:23So, if you're excited about the future of video editing and want to get in on this, definitely join the waitlist for early access.
08:29It's going to be a game-changer for sure.
