Adobe Release Notes

Discover the new generation and editing experience in Adobe Firefly to connect image and video generation, editing, and organization in a single creative environment.

The new generation and editing experience is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, currently available for testing and feedback.

Creative workflows can involve generating content, refining individual elements, organizing related assets, and assembling content into a final output. These tasks may involve moving between different tools or workspaces.

The new generation and editing experience in Adobe Firefly provides a single workspace for generating and editing content, managing projects and assets, and working with video timelines.

Within the workspace, you can generate images and videos, save content to a project, use generated content as a reference for further generations, and edit video content. The new experience also allows you to access Project media and Generation history throughout as you move between generation and editing tasks.

Note

The new generation and editing experience is available in English on desktop for users who are signed in to their Adobe account.

Selecting Try it opens the central generation and editing workspace.

Explore the workspace

You can access the new experience by selecting Try it button on the Experience the new generation and editing experience tile from the home page. The generation and editing experience keeps your creative workflow within a project.

You can start by generating images or videos, editing existing images, or creating a video timeline. Use the Generate and Timeline options at the top of the workspace to easily move between content generation and video assembly.

The new workspace opens with the last project you were working on and has three main areas:

• Project media: Find, add, and access media associated with your projects in the left panel at all times.
• Central generation and editing workspace: Create or edit images and videos. Choose a starting action, enter a prompt, add references or elements, select a model, and adjust available generation settings.
• Generation history menu: Revisit previous results. You can view generations associated with the current project, or switch to All to browse generations beyond it.

Benefits of the new generation and editing workspace

Firefly's unified workspace combines several capabilities that allow you to create and carry an idea from initial exploration through final production:

• Connected generation and editing: Create images and videos using AI-powered generation, then refine them with editing tools without leaving your workspace or losing your work-in-progress. This integrated approach means you can experiment freely during generation and refine details afterward.
• Project-based organization: Keep related generations, media, timelines, and other creative assets together in a project. Use the Project media panel to access media associated with the current project as you generate, edit, and assemble content.
• Reusable creative elements: Build a library of Elements, reusable creative assets that represent specific visual concepts—a character design, a product you're featuring, or a location. Rather than describing the same character in every prompt, create an Element once and apply it to new generations, ensuring that visual identity remains consistent even as you explore different scenes or compositions.
• Integrated video editor: Use Timeline to sequence video clips, arrange content, and refine timing directly within Firefly. Easily arrange generated video clips, adjust timing, combine multiple sequences, and refine the flow of your video project without exporting to external editing software.

For projects that involve combining images and video, or generating multiple video segments, Timeline helps you assemble finished content while maintaining access to your source generations and project assets.

• Persistent creative context: Return to your previous work without losing the creative context. Use the Generation history dropdown menu to view generations from the current project or browse available generations, and continue working with previous results.

Learn about the Interfaces feature in Adobe Firefly and how it helps to create and run simple interfaces from workflows.

Interfaces is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly now available for testing and feedback.

An interface is a simple interactive experience created by authors from a production workflow. Interfaces let users run production tasks quickly and easily without needing to work with complex nodes in the underlying workflows. Once created, users can run an interface at any time—it supports large batch jobs with up to 500 input assets. Interfaces are available for authoring and use only for Firefly Creative Production for Enterprise users.

Use interfaces to do production tasks easily and at scale.

• A. Nodes added by the author to the interface
• B. A sample asset
• C. Run button
• D. Option to remove the sample assets

Interface creation by authors

Authors can create and publish interfaces by adding or hiding relevant workflow nodes and node options using the Interface outline panel. This allows authors to simplify interfaces by exposing only the options they want users to change, while preserving the full underlying workflow. After configuring an interface, authors can publish it so that it's available for use by anyone within the same organization.

Interface experience for users

Interfaces let Firefly Creative Production for Enterprise users run batch production jobs through a simple UI that shows only the options the author wants users to change, without requiring them to work with complex node graphs. Users can access the interfaces published within their organization directly from the Interfaces tab on the Creative Production home page.

Learn to generate unique and original music tracks by specifying vibe, style, purpose, energy, and tempo.

Try it in the app

Generate unique and original soundtracks in a few simple steps.

Open Firefly

Generate music lets you generate music tracks by selecting key creative inputs such as vibe, style, purpose, energy, and tempo. Your selected inputs work as a guide in composing music tracks that match specific moods, genres, and use cases, whether it's background music, game music tracks, audio for podcasts, or soundscapes for meditation.

When generating music tracks, you can upload a video to receive a suggested prompt you can customize, or start from scratch by crafting a custom prompt without a video component.

On the Firefly homepage, hover over Audio in the left panel and then select Generate music.

On the Generate music page, the left panel contains a sample prompt with colored text representing different music track generation attributes.

Start composing the prompt by removing or adding the preloaded tags for each attribute. To remove all preloaded tags, select the Clear Prompt button.

Note

Currently, Generate music only supports English text prompts.

Select tags from the following available attributes to add to the prompt.

• Vibe: Represented by purple text in the prompt. Use this to define the overall mood or emotional tone for music track generation.
• Style: Represented by blue text in the prompt. Use this to define the genre or instrumentation for music track generation.
• Purpose: Represented by green text in the prompt. Use this to define the intended use case or context for generating music tracks.

To add your own tags for any of the attributes, use descriptive adjectives.

Select a specific style to make sure that the generated music tracks aligns better with the intended use case.

Set the energy of the music track by choosing from the following options:

• Low: Soft and calm
• Medium: Balanced with a steady rhythm
• High: Fast and lively

Select from different energy levels to match the music track to the emotional tone of the use case.

Set the tempo to define the speed or pace of the music track for the generation. There are the following options to choose from:

• Slow: Low-paced and calm
• Medium: Steady, balanced, and moderately paced
• Fast: Quick, energetic, and high-paced

Set the Tempo to control the pacing and rhythm of the generated music.

Use the Duration section to increase or decrease the duration of the generated music track.

Select Generate. You'll get four different variations of the music track.

Preview each music track and highlight the variation that you want to download, then select Download.

The music track will be downloaded in WAV format.

Tip

If your music track isn’t matching your expectations, it may be due to conflicting input terms. For example, setting the Vibe to calm and the Style to heavy metal can lead to unpredictable results, often favoring one over the other.

You can adjust the Vibe to better align with your desired mood, then refine the Style to complement it, and avoid mixing terms that represent opposite emotional tones or musical genres.

Two months, six updates worth talking about.

From a dedicated search page and updated Comparison Viewer to a redesigned iOS app and new integrations, here’s what’s new in Frame.io.

Search your entire Frame.io library with a full-screen search

Dig deeper using the new full-screen search dedicated page.

Bring out the big search. Now there’s a dedicated workspace for when you want to move beyond searching for one file. The full-screen search page is designed to help you make sense of your whole library.

Access the dedicated page directly from the search icon in the side navigation or just one click from the search bar. When you open full-screen search from the search bar, your query carries over automatically.

For example, if a client asks for “that drone shot from March,” instead of guessing filenames, you can filter by project and object type. Then preview results without opening each one. You can select and move or download everything in just one pass.

Describe what you’re looking for the way you’d ask a teammate, and full-screen search does the rest.

Tab between Standard results or AI results.

What’s new:

• A dedicated search page, one click from the search bar or from the home side navigation
• Toggle between Standard and AI-powered search when a keyword search isn’t enough
• Filter by project and object type
• Preview results without opening every asset
• Select multiple files and move, copy, download, or delete them at once

A few search tips:

• Use a full name, not just a first name. If a name is common on your team, adding the last name helps AI Results find exactly who you need instead of returning everyone who shares the first name.
• Add one distinguishing word when results feel too broad. If a search keeps surfacing a similar-but-wrong asset, one extra word—an asset type, a format, a status—is often all it takes to bring the right one to the top.
• Search reaches your notes, not just filenames. If you’ve tagged a name or detail in an asset’s notes, searching for it will surface every asset it appears in, even if that detail was never in the title.

Available on: All plans

Catch every change with Comparison Viewer

Catch every change with Comparison Viewer

Drag a slider to reveal an overlay between two versions, side by side

Comparing two versions used to mean toggling back and forth and hoping you didn’t miss anything. Now with the latest Comparison Viewer updates, you don’t have to guess.

What’s new:

• Drag a slider to reveal an overlay between two versions, side by side
• Pixel Diff highlights exactly what changed—no more squinting
• Works with image comparison and PDF comparison (same dimensions required)

Available on: All plans.

What’s new in the Frame.io iOS app

The Frame.io iOS app got a glow-up, built on Apple’s newest design system. Reviewing footage on your phone now feels as native as everything else on your phone.

Some changes are obvious. Lighter, more translucent menus and controls that are handy when you’re jumping between apps mid-review.

Others are subtle. Refined spacing and shapes throughout that add up over time. The redesign also prepares Frame.io for Apple’s next generation of iOS experiences.

This update also brings the app to more of your global team. Frame.io on iOS now speaks Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish, in addition to English and Japanese. And if you use Inbox, you’ll now see recent Share activity right in Notifications—so you know what’s waiting without opening every share.

What’s new:

• A full redesign across every screen in the iOS app
• Lighter, more responsive menus and controls
• Nine new languages, so global teams can review
• See recent activity from your Inbox in the Notifications tab

Available on: iOS

New integrations and partnerships

Frame.io keeps connecting to the cameras and tools your team already uses—so footage moves from set to review to finished cut faster, with fewer steps in between.

What’s new:

• Frame.io panel for Adobe After Effects. Export renders straight to Frame.io from inside After Effects, then get comments back in your compositions. No more app-switching just to get feedback on your motion graphics or motion design.
• CuttingRoom Cloud Editor. Skip the download-to-edit step entirely. CuttingRoom’s browser-based editor now pulls footage straight from Frame.io onto a timeline and sends the finished edit right back—no downloads, no re-uploads. Built for newsrooms and teams who need to go from raw footage to a published story fast.
• Leica support. Leica’s new SL3-P integrates Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C) natively, sending every photo and video—complete with signed Content Credentials—straight to your Frame.io project the instant it’s captured.
• Silverstack Lab v9.3 (Pomfort). Silverstack Lab v9.3 integrates Frame.io Version 4 directly into its offload and dailies workflow, so DITs can upload dailies to the right teams and projects automatically—often while footage is still being processed—with full progress tracking built in.
• Accsoon CineView M7 Series integration. Built for run-and-gun and multi-cam crews who need footage moving straight into Frame.io from set, the Accsoon CineView M7, M7 Pro, and M7H Pro now support Frame.io Camera to Cloud, bringing native cloud upload to the first Android-based wireless monitors.

Available on: All plans

Frame.io is now one click away in Adobe’s Top App Bar

Jump back into Frame.io from wherever you are in the Adobe ecosystem.

If you’re ever heads-down in Adobe Premiere or Photoshop and need to check a comment or grab a file from Frame.io, you don’t have to break your flow. Frame.io is now just one always within reach.

You’ll be able to access Frame.io in Adobe’s Top App Bar, right alongside your other Creative Cloud apps.

What’s new:

• Frame.io appears in the Top App Bar next to your other Creative Cloud apps
• Switch to Frame.io from any Adobe app without losing your place
• New users get a more direct path to Frame.io from inside the Adobe ecosystem

Available on: All Adobe-managed Frame.io accounts

Share once. Reach everyone with Share Lists.

Share once. Reach everyone with Share Lists.

Share to a group all at once with Share Lists.

Share Lists let you group collaborators and email addresses. You can add them to any Share all at once, instead of one at a time.

Sending the same rough cut to the same 12 people every week? Build the list once. Every future Share to that group is a single click.

What’s new:

• Build named, reusable lists of collaborators and emails
• Set them at the account level for standing groups, or workspace level for a single project

Adobe and WhatsApp are bringing Acrobat-powered PDF experiences directly into WhatsApp Web and Windows, so you can open, review and act on your documents right in your chat without needing to download files or switch tools.

Many of WhatsApp's three billion users already use the platform to share files and move work forward. Adobe Acrobat has long delivered trusted PDF viewing, collaboration and AI-powered productivity in the places where people work with documents. Integrating Acrobat into WhatsApp extends that value, so you can stay in the flow whether you're reviewing an invoice, checking a contract, looking over a design or confirming details.

“Acrobat is built to power document workflows wherever they happen," said Abhigyan Modi, senior vice president, Creativity & Productivity Business. “Bringing PDF capabilities into WhatsApp Web and Windows extends that vision into one of the world’s most important communication platforms.”

Now available, globally

Acrobat-powered PDF experiences are now available globally on WhatsApp Web and Windows and include:

• Acrobat-powered PDF previews that open directly in your conversation
• Full-screen PDF viewing in chat, including for password-protected files
• Markup tools for you to highlight, strike through text and more
• Access to advanced Acrobat tools so you can edit and send the revised PDF right back to the chat

Open PDFs instantly without leaving your chat

Now, when someone shares a PDF in WhatsApp Web or Windows, you can open it instantly in the conversation. Scroll, zoom and read the full document without downloading the file or switching apps. Password-protected files stay secure, helping ensure only the intended recipients can access them.

With Acrobat powering the experience, your documents render exactly as intended, preserving layout and formatting. Documents shared within your chats remain end-to-end encrypted like all other personal messages, meaning that only those in the chat can read them.

Make lightweight markups right in the chat

Once you've reviewed the document, you can quickly add feedback right in the chat with PDF tools that allow you to draw, highlight, underline and strike through text. Circle a clause you want someone to double-check, cross out an outdated line or underline the details that matter most. You can make you markups without ever leaving WhatsApp, so you don't interrupt the chat.

Edit, share and unlock more with Acrobat

For more advanced needs, click “Edit in Acrobat” to access additional Acrobat tools so you can edit, organize, sign, apply password protection and more. With Acrobat AI Assistant, you can also summarize documents, ask questions and surface key insights in seconds. Advanced editing and AI Assistant capabilities are available with an Acrobat subscription. Once you’re done, just share the updated file back into the same WhatsApp conversation, so everyone stays aligned on the latest version.

This makes everyday workflows smoother. Whether you’re browsing a catalog and confirming selections, sending an invoice, reviewing contract terms, flagging changes or sharing edits, everything happens in one thread without breaking your flow. From first open to final version, everything stays connected.

Built for how you actually work

For many people around the world, WhatsApp is where professional and personal work gets done. Documents play a central role in that experience.

Whether you’re sharing invoices or catalogs with customers, reviewing contracts with collaborators, submitting assignments or forms or coordinating plans with shared itineraries, PDFs are part of an ongoing exchange that drives decisions.

On larger screens, this becomes even more powerful. The Acrobat integration in WhatsApp Web and Windows gives space to read, compare and respond in real time while staying connected to the conversation. With Acrobat powering the experience, everything looks as intended.

Keep work moving at the speed of chat

Work moves faster when your documents are right where you need them. By bringing Acrobat-powered PDF experiences into WhatsApp Web and Windows, you can go from receiving a document to acting on it instantly. And with Acrobat’s full capabilities, including AI Assistant, every document in your chat becomes something you can understand, edit and move forward.
