Firefly Updates & 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.

Use natural language to find images and files in Adobe Firefly without needing exact filenames.

When you need a specific asset but cannot remember its filename, semantic search helps you find it quickly and easily. You can use the Search feature on the Files page to describe visual content in natural language, and Firefly will surface matches across your generation history, assets, and projects. You can start a search from the following tabs under Files:

• Generation history
• Projects
• Your files
• Shared with you

Search for an asset

In the left navigation, select Files and then open the tab you want to search.

You can choose from the Generation history, Your files, Projects, and Shared with you tabs.

Select the Search field in the top-right corner of the content area.

Choose your search scope in the dropdown that appears, or use keyboard shortcuts:

• To search the current tab only, select Search current location or press Enter.
• To search across all locations in Files, select Search everywhere or press Shift + Enter.

Firefly displays a Search results for “[your query]” page with assets that visually match your description or contain your query in their file name. Filter options above the results show which location was searched and which file type filter is applied, if any.

To refine the search results further, use the All types dropdown menu and select your preferred file type.

Tip

Use defining words to describe the files/assets you need, as each result is ranked based on how well it matches your search, using information from file names, metadata, and the content itself. The search function also consider related concepts, similar terms, and common spelling mistakes to help surface the most relevant results first.

Refine your results

To adjust the results you see, use the type dropdown and select a file type. You can also change the location filter at any time to search a different tab without retyping your query.

Note

Semantic search is available in English and currently understands Firefly image generations, Firefly Boards, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign documents, as well as generic images and vectors. For other content types and languages, you can still search by file name. Additional content types and languages may be supported in future releases.

Discover Adobe Brand Intelligence

Discover Adobe Brand Intelligence, and how you can turn brand knowledge into scalable, on-brand content across your creative content workflows.

Adobe Brand Intelligence is a continuously learning brand intelligence platform that helps your teams create and validate on-brand content faster and with less effort. It’s a headless platform exposed through APIs, so it can integrate with existing first- and third-party apps rather than running as a separate app.

It works across your content workflows to understand your brand, apply your standards automatically, and reduce the need for manual reviews.

With Adobe Brand Intelligence, you can:

• Keep every asset consistent with your brand
• Catch issues before content goes live
• Scale content production without sacrificing quality

Instead of relying only on written guidelines, the system learns from your assets, past reviews, and team decisions, so your brand standards are applied consistently, every time.

What is Adobe Brand Intelligence?

Adobe Brand Intelligence captures and operationalizes an organization’s brand knowledge into a structured, usable format. It brings together brand guidelines, design systems, creative assets, human feedback, and approvals.

In most enterprises, only a small portion of brand knowledge is formally documented. The majority exists as undocumented expertise across teams. Adobe Brand Intelligence bridges this gap by:

• Capturing both explicit rules and implicit human judgment
• Applying brand standards consistently across all content workflows through guidelines
• Reducing reliance on manual reviews and subjective interpretation
• Enabling organizations to scale content production without compromising brand integrity.

Key skills

Adobe Brand Intelligence powers core capabilities that integrate across Adobe apps, third-party tools, and generative AI models.

Validate

The Validate skill automatically checks whether content adheres to brand standards before it goes live.

It evaluates visual design, layout, composition, typography, and brand policies.

This evaluation helps reduce the time and effort of manual reviews, makes sure of consistent brand compliance across projects, and speeds up your design’s time-to-market. You can easily integrate it into apps such as Workfront and Frame.

Instruct to Assemble

The Instruct to Assemble skill turns a campaign brief into on-brand content variants by selecting the best-fit creative elements and assembling them into production-ready outputs.

It helps you by:

• Interpreting the brief to understand audiences, channels, formats, and campaign goals
• Selecting the most relevant base creatives and approved elements
• Applying creative edits and validation checks to prepare assets for production
• Assembling multiple design variants across channels and audiences

This speeds up content production, reduces manual efforts in asset selection and assembly, and helps teams deliver more on-brand design variations at scale, and improves output quality through continuous learning. You can easily integrate it into apps such as Figma.

Build a workflow canvas

Learn how to add and connect input, output, and processing nodes to automate creative tasks.

With workflows, you can combine input nodes- text, images, and videos, processing nodes- generate, edit, transform, and output nodes- final deliverables, into automated sequences. This feature helps streamline content creation when you need to maintain consistency across multiple assets or experiment with different creative directions.

Workflows are especially helpful when you need to create multiple versions of creative assets, apply the same edits to a batch of them, or experiment with different generative‑AI styles using the same source materials.

Select Production from the left panel in the Firefly homepage or navigate directly to the production page.

Select Create workflow to open a new workflow screen.

All new pages display the Add nodes and AI Assistant panels by default.

From the Add nodes section, drag your desired input nodes onto the canvas—choose from Input Image, Input Text, or Input Video.

Add corresponding output nodes to define your final deliverables—choose from Output Image, Output Text, or Output Video.

Once you've defined the inputs and outputs, add processing nodes to establish a workflow.

From the Image, Video, or Text and Data sections, select processing nodes that match your creative goals, for example:

• Image: Generate Image, Upscale Image, Rescale Image, Auto Tone, Auto Straighten, Crop, Expand, Photoshop actions, and others.
• Video: Generate Video, Reframe Video, and Translate Video.
• Text and Data: Generate Text, and Merge InDesign Data.

Each processing node describes its function; read the node description to select the ones best suited for your use case.

Drag your selected processing nodes onto the canvas between your input and output nodes.

Start with a couple of nodes and gradually add or remove more to refine your workflow.

Hover over a node’s connection point until the Add icon appears, then select it to connect that node to another function in your workflow.

Placing your cursor over the empty dots will activate the add icon.

Note

Some nodes have multiple connection points. For example, a Generate Video node can connect to two different inputs: Text Prompt and Reference Image. Additionally, each connection point can link to different input or processing nodes.

If you find that adding nodes manually is confusing or complex, go to the Assistant panel and type in your question or expectation into the prompt box to let the assistant create the workflow you need.

Once a basic workflow is created you can edit it to suit your expectations.

After connecting all your nodes, test your workflow with sample inputs to verify it produces the results you expect. You can refine node settings and connections until the workflow matches your creative requirements.

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.

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.
