New Delhi: Adobe has started rolling out its latest update to Firefly that will give users control and choice in the way they create videos. The update brings new prompt-based editing controls for the video, better camera motion handling, improved upscaling tools and broader access to different AI models, including the Google Nano Banana Pro. Along with this, Adobe has also opened up the Firefly video editor in public beta, enabling users to combine AI-generated clips and their own footage in one place.
Firefly enables users to edit specific parts of the video using simple text prompts. The users can ask to remove an object, change the background, adjust lighting, or slightly zoom in, and the edit is applied directly to the existing clip. Earlier, if something small went wrong in a generated clip, like an unwanted object or person, the only option was to regenerate the whole video. Firefly is also improving how the camera movement works on the AI videos. Users can now upload a reference image along with the short video that shows the kind of camera motion they want in their video. Firefly then applies similar movement to the generated clip, making scenes feel more planned rather than random. Adobe stated that this is especially useful for creators trying to achieve a specific visual style.
Adobe has partnered with Topaz Astra for video upscaling, which lets users improve low-resolution videos and push them up to 1080p or even 4K. It can be helpful for old footage, social media clips, or videos that need to look sharper for platforms like YouTube. While one video is being upscaled, users can continue working on other tasks. Adobe is also adding more image models to Firefly, one of them is FLUX.2 from Black Forest Labs, which can create and edit images with details, clearer text, and support for up to four reference images. The model is available in Firefly’s Text to Image tool, Prompt to Edit, and Firefly Boards, and can also be used in Photoshop’s Generative Fill, with support coming to Adobe Express in January.
