Welcome to the magic of generative video in Adobe Firefly.
I'm Jesús Ramirez.
In this video, we'll help a friend create a promotional YouTube video for her running and fitness program.
We'll use Adobe Firefly's Text to video feature to generate custom cinematic B-roll.
Let's jump right in.
Go to the Video tab and choose Text to video.
This brings us to the Text to video interface.
To generate great videos, write clear and descriptive prompts.
We'll begin with a concise and specific description of the subject.
I'll type 'woman kneeling tying shoelaces'.
Before you generate, be sure to change the Resolution to 540p.
You'll get faster results, and once you have a prompt that works, you can increase the Resolution.
Then click the blue Generate button.
Firefly will take just a few moments to generate the video.
Click the Play button to preview it.
The results are impressive, but generic.
They don't capture the idea and mood I had in mind, but it's a good starting point from which we can build.
Let's be more descriptive and include vivid details and context in the prompt.
Here's a prompt formula to keep in mind.
Shot type description + character + action + location + aesthetic.
If you include these five elements, you will generate outstanding videos.
I'll paste the prompt I pre-wrote and here it is color-coded with the corresponding steps of the generation formula.
Feel free to pause the video and analyze it to understand how it works.
Next, I'll Generate again.
And in a few moments, we should see a much better generation.
Here it is.
I'll click on the Play button, and it looks just incredible.
Next, let's take advantage of the General settings panel on the left.
These options control the format and the overall quality of the video.
We'll use the Firefly Video model.
It's default, and we can use the results commercially.
Under Resolution, I'll keep it at 540p for now.
It's faster to render and good enough for previewing.
For the Aspect ratio, I'll select Widescreen (16:9), which is perfect for YouTube videos and any horizontal content.
Now, let's look at the Camera settings.
This is where we guide the camera's behavior and style.
They help shape the feel of the video.
For a Shot size, we'll choose Medium shot.
This frames the subject's body and environment without being too close or too far.
For Camera angle, let's go with Low angle shot.
This gives our runner a strong, heroic feel.
And for Motion, I'll choose Tilt up.
This will create a dynamic camera move, starting from her shoes and moving up towards her face.
At this time, you can only select one option for camera motion, but you can always call out another in the prompt.
I'll add 'Handheld motion' to give the video a more organic, natural feel.
Then I'll click Generate again.
And this video looks amazing.
The wind, the camera move, the lens flare, it all comes together beautifully.
But that's not all.
Adobe Firefly gives you even more control.
If you want to use a photo as a starting frame and have Firefly animate it from your prompt, click this icon.
Find an image on your device.
I'll use this closeup of a runner tying her shoes, and I'll Generate using the same prompt.
And in a few moments, Firefly will generate a video using this image as the first frame, and its spot on.
Best of all, you can also upload the last frame to control how the video ends.
Click on this icon and choose your final frame.
I'll use this photo of the runner tying her shoes as my final frame.
I'll keep the same prompt, and I'll Generate.
Firefly now creates a video that starts with the image I uploaded earlier and ends with this final frame, giving you full control over both ends of the shot.
It looks fantastic.
The pacing is smooth, the transition is clean, and the video ends exactly the way I envisioned.
Now that you know how to generate videos in Adobe Firefly, try turning your wildest ideas into a reality with the Text to image feature.
Again, my name is Jesús Ramirez.
Thank you for watching.
