The next evolution of creative AI is here for all your ideas, with image, video, audio and vector tools.
What is the Firefly AI video editor?
The AI video editor is a tool where you can edit videos, upload clips, and generate new footage that fits seamlessly with your existing content. It is designed to help creators move from idea to final cut faster, without complex tools or steep learning curves.
By combining AI-powered video editing with a browser-based workflow, Firefly lets you create, refine, and export videos from anywhere.
Make faster, smarter edits.
Cut, trim and rearrange video and audio clips on a simple layered timeline. Build your story with an AI video editor that simplifies editing and speeds up workflows. Firefly reduces repetitive manual tasks, so you can focus on storytelling instead of timelines and menus.
This makes it ideal for creators looking for an online video editor that balances speed, control and creative flexibility.
Edit video with AI-powered prompts.
Create a video with generative AI and use plain language to make edits in the AI video editor. Add or remove objects or change backgrounds to take your video from almost there to picture perfect.
With video editing AI, you can describe what you want to change instead of adjusting multiple settings, making it easier to learn how to edit video with AI even if you’re new to editing.
Generate and refine scenes in your timeline.
Generate new scenes from any frame on your timeline — then use the video editor to turn your creations into finished stories. This allows you to expand existing footage or fill gaps without leaving the editor.
- Edit different types of social media video formats (vertical, square, horizontal).
- Create interview and podcast cuts using Text-Based Editing.
- Integrate B-roll quickly into product reviews and tutorials.
- Adjust duration, framing and aspect ratio to fit different video formats.
Create clear, engaging videos for learning and explanation.
Create videos that explain ideas clearly and keep viewers engaged. Firefly helps you edit video with AI by trimming footage precisely, generating supporting scenes and refining edits with simple prompts.
Use it to turn raw recordings into polished demos, tutorials and training videos without complex tools or time-consuming workflows. Preview changes instantly and refine your story until every step feels clear and complete.
