Firefly Release Notes

Learn to use the native audio enhancement feature in Firefly video editor (beta) to reduce background noise and improve voice clarity in your video projects.

Enhance audio uses AI to improve audio quality by isolating speech, music, sound effects, and background noise. You can use Enhance audio directly in the Firefly video editor (beta) to refine audio without leaving your workflow. Adjust speech, background noise, music, and sound effects with simple sliders to achieve clear, balanced, and professional-sounding results.

Apply audio enhancement to your clip

• Select the audio or video clip in the timeline for which you want to enhance the audio.
• Open the Properties panel by selecting the Properties icon from the right rail.
• Toggle Enhance audio at the bottom of the panel.
• You may have to wait for the audio to process and the enhancement controls to become available.

Note

Processing may take a few minutes, depending on the clip length and your internet connection. Results vary based on the original audio quality- clearer source recordings produce better enhancement results. Enhancement is only supported for clips up to 30 minutes in duration. If you select a clip longer than 30 minutes, a notification appears indicating that the action isn’t supported.

Adjust the speech and background levels using the sliders below the preview section:

• Speech enhancement: Controls the level of enhancement applied to isolated speech or dialogue. Move the slider left to reduce enhancement or right to increase clarity and prominence.
• Music: Controls the volume of music added in the clip. Move the slider left to decrease the music level or right to increase the music presence.
• Sound effects: Controls the volume of sound effects (example: walking, crunching leaves underfoot) in the clip. Move the slider left to reduce sound effects or right to make them more prominent.
• Noise: Controls the loudness of background noise. Move the slider left to reduce background noise or right to increase background sound.

You can use the fine controls to prioritize voice clarity or ambient sound, depending on the needs of your final output.

Preview your adjustments by playing the clip in the viewer or timeline.

Tip

Use moderate speech enhancement for natural-sounding results. If your recording has heavy background noise, reduce the Noise slider significantly, Sound effects and Music moderately, before increasing Speech enhancement.

Select Enhance to save your changes to the clip.

Once the enhancement is applied, you can adjust or remove it by returning to the Properties panel and modifying the sliders or toggling off Enhance audio.

Learn how to use Precision Flow (beta) to refine image edits using an intuitive slider that creates multiple variations in one go.

You can use Precision flow (beta) to explore a range of image variations within a single workflow. Adjust the overall mood or feel, like changing the weather or tone, using a slider that moves along a smooth gradient (e.g., warm to cool). This makes it easy to preview, fine-tune, and pick the exact look you want without rewriting prompts or generating multiple versions.

Generate images with precision

Generate an image and go to the Edit tab, or upload an image and select Precision flow (beta) from the left toolbar.

From the tools available above the prompt bar, select one of these options to define the areas you want to influence:

• Entire image: Apply the changes to the entire image.
• Select: Select a specific area or layer of the image, and hover the cursor over the image to see a number of selectable areas.
• Brush: Brush over a specific area and apply changes to it.

Apply visual overlays with the Select or Brush option to guide where generative edits will be applied.

Tip

When selecting the Brush option, you can select the remove icon to remove brush strokes, and then use the add icon to keep adding brush strokes. To start fresh, select the reset option to clear all selections.

In the prompt field, enter a short description of how you want to change the look and feel of the image.

Open the Edit strength dropdown menu to increase or decrease the strength of the edits applied. You can choose any strength indicator from 0.1 to 1.

Select Generate to generate image variations.

Select from a variety of generations to apply subtle or dramatic effects without reworking the entire edit.

Note

Credit consumption varies by model. To see how many generative credits each generation will use, hover the credit consumption indicator next to the Generate button.

Once image generation is successful, you'll see a filmstrip of images. Choose an image from the preview or adjust the slider to choose your preferred image from the range (subtle or dramatic), then select Apply.

Learn how to use AI Markup to make precise edits directly over images using text prompts, and more.

You can use AI Markup to combine freehand drawing and region selection with text prompts to edit specific areas of your image. Draw directly on or select a part of the image to indicate where you want changes, then describe the edit you would like to make. Firefly uses your markings, selections, and prompts together to generate edits that match your creative intent.

Note

When working with AI Markup, you have the option to use either of the three edit features- Text, Brush, and Region, individually or combine them per your needs.

Markup and generate edited images

Generate an image and go to the Edit tab, or upload an image and select Markup from the left toolbar.

Select the Text option and then place the box where you want to edit the image. Use this text box to define the change you want to make to the image.
To specify the color of an object in a text prompt, type the color name, such as 'green' or 'blue', then select a hue from the available options.

Select the Brush tool to draw directly on the image.

• Use the add icon to add brush strokes or select an area, and the remove icon to remove them.
• Use the slider to increase or decrease the brush size.

The Brush tool allows you to draw directly on the image and guide edits, like adding or repositioning elements within a composition

Use the Region tool to select a specific area, then describe the change you want to make in the prompt box that appears.
Region-based selection helps target specific areas for edits when text prompts alone aren’t enough.

Tip

Select the reset option to clear all markups and begin marking up the image again.

In the prompt field, enter a description of how you want the areas marked to look or change.
Select your preferred image generation model from the model dropdown menu.
Select Generate to generate the edited image based on your markups and prompt.
Credit consumption varies by model. To see how many generative credits each generation will use, hover the credit consumption indicator next to the Generate button.

Learn how to apply transitions like Dissolve and Fade to visual items on your timeline and create smooth scene changes.

Transitions help create smooth, professional-looking videos by blending scenes together or adding dramatic pauses. Firefly video editor (beta) offers easy-to-use transitions that you can apply directly to the clips added to your timeline.

These effects are most effective when you've already arranged your media clips in the timeline and want to refine how scenes connect. To apply transitions, you need:

• Active Adobe Firefly account with access to Firefly video editor (beta)
• Firefly video editor (beta) project open
• Video clips added to your timeline

Dissolve

An example where the Dissolve transition is used to create a gradual blend between two shots.

Fade

An example where the Fade transition is added, beginning with a fade-in and ending with a fade-out.

Add transitions to your clips

Navigate to the Firefly video editor (beta) and open a project to view its timeline.
Select the Transitions icon in the left rail.
Select the visual track items in the timeline to which you want to apply the transition.

Tip

Apply transitions to visual track items without selecting them by dragging and dropping the preferred transition on the timeline.

Select one of these transitions from the Transitions panel to apply them:

• Dissolve: Creates a gradual blend between two shots by smoothly transitioning from one clip to the next. This transition can only be added toward the end of video clips and cannot be applied to the final clip in your timeline.
• Fade: Gradually reduces the clip’s opacity until it becomes fully transparent, often used to transition smoothly between scenes or create subtle visual pauses. You can apply this transition to the start of your first clip and/or the end of your last clip to create a smooth fade-in at the beginning or a fade-out at the end.

Note

Dissolve can only be applied between two adjacent video clips on the main track in the timeline and not to other freeform tracks. However, Fade can also be applied to freeform tracks and other visual track items, such as text, images, or videos.

To edit the duration of the transition you’ve applied, select the transition on the timeline, right-click to view additional options, and then select Edit duration.
Alternatively, select the transition on the timeline and drag its handles.

To remove the transition you’ve applied, go to the timeline, select the transition, and press the Delete key.
Alternatively, you can select the transition, right-click to view additional options, and then select Delete.

Replace transitions by selecting the clip and choosing a new Transition, or by selecting a Transition and dragging it onto the clip you want to modify.

Transitions on the main track can be replaced as long as the required conditions are met. For example, a Dissolve between two video clips can be replaced with a Fade applied to each adjacent clip. Similarly, a Fade at the end of a clip can be replaced with a Dissolve between adjacent clips.

Discover how this AI-powered in-app feature can help scale content while maintaining consistency in campaign-level design rules.

Firefly Design Intelligence helps creative teams scale content with ease and consistency. It combines AI with human-led guidance to ensure that every design, regardless of the region or campaign, remains consistent, customizable, and accurate to your identity.

How Firefly Design Intelligence works

Firefly Design Intelligence works as an integrated plugin within familiar Adobe apps, such as Adobe Illustrator, that can be installed from the Creative Cloud marketplace. Through in-app training, Firefly Design Intelligence builds an understanding of your brand's visual and layout guidelines and embeds this knowledge into the design process. This helps teams create on-brand content more quickly and easily, without sacrificing quality or control.

The system captures your brand identity through Style IDs, which are intelligent design systems that preserve campaign identity while automating generation of new design variations. When building campaigns, these Style IDs automatically apply the right colors, fonts, logos, and layouts to maintain visual consistency.

Creation of Style IDs

Style IDs enable you to scale content creation while maintaining brand consistency and creative quality. They do this by:

• Learning your brand’s rules and aesthetics, including your brand colors, logos, typography standards, and editorial voice.
• Capturing campaign guidelines that govern design decisions, allowing the system to automatically select the most suitable assets within layout constraints when generating new designs.
• Understanding how different design elements work together, such as which images and text naturally complement each other.
• Incorporating human-defined rules and creative direction, ensuring that explicit guidance about how elements should behave, individually and in combination.

Once trained, these Style IDs are made available to your creative teams in the same apps they already use.

Generating content at scale

Once your campaign's Style IDs are created, trained, and published, they become reusable creative frameworks. When you generate new designs, the system applies the Style ID’s rules and relationships to automatically assemble layouts, select and position assets, and maintain consistency across formats and channels. This allows teams to quickly produce on-brand variations at scale, while still preserving the original creative vision defined by your designers.

With Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast you can enable the Audio toggle to generate synchronized sounds or music for your video. With Veo 2, you can use an image as the starting frame, select First under the Frames section, and choose your file.

Tip

After selecting First, use the Current frame option to use the frame where the playhead is positioned as the start frame of the generated video. For best results, ensure your first frame images are visually compatible with the action you describe in your text prompt.

In the Advanced settings, use the Seed option to add a seed number that helps start the process and controls the randomness of what the AI creates. If you use the same seed, prompt, and control settings, you can generate similar video clips. Select Generate to generate your video. Drag the generated video from the Generation history panel and drop it onto your timeline. Your generated video is now part of your project and can be edited, trimmed, or combined with other media clips in the timeline.
