Overview

  • Firefly’s Generate Sound Effects beta produces synchronized custom audio from text descriptions and onomatopoeic voice recordings within video timelines.
  • New video controls include Composition Reference for mirroring reference footage, Keyframe Cropping for defining start and end frames, and Style Presets for one-tap visual themes.
  • Text to Avatar beta turns scripts into avatar-led videos with customizable backgrounds and accent options.
  • The platform now integrates external models such as Moonvalley’s Marey, Google’s Veo 3 with audio, Pika 2.2, Luma AI’s Ray 2 and Topaz Labs’ upscalers under a single Adobe sign-in.
  • Adobe reiterates that Firefly is trained only on licensed or public-domain data and does not use users’ content to train its generative models.
