What it is
Adobe Firefly generates and edits video with Adobe's own Firefly Video Model, trained on licensed content so it is pitched as commercially safe, alongside partner models from Google, Kling, Runway and Luma. It includes a timeline video editor with prompt-based edits and connects to Premiere Pro and the rest of Creative Cloud.
Latest: Adobe added prompt-based video editing and Runway's Aleph model to Firefly in December 2025.
