With Firefly Image to video (beta), you can turn an image and a text prompt into visually compelling videos that express creative intent, fill gaps in your timeline or even add elements to an existing shot.
My name is Brian Wood.
I'm a content strategist for the Adobe MAX Creativity Conference.
Let's explore how to use Firefly Image to video (beta) to create part of a short teaser launch video for a project like you see here.
From the Firefly homepage, you can choose Video and then you can select Image to video (beta) here.
First, I usually set the Aspect ratio of the resulting video.
For instance, if you're creating a video that you want to view on a device, you're probably going to use 9:16, so it's a more vertical orientation.
To create a video based on an image, you can upload any image down here where it says Frame.
I've got a Firefly image I created for a book launch in a previous project, so I'll upload that.
This actually gives Firefly the content for the first frame of the video, so it knows where to start.
You can even upload an image for the last frame.
In other words, what you want the video to end with.
In order to create the video action, you're going to enter a Prompt.
It's usually best to start with a simpler Prompt and then iterate on it.
In other words, keep adding to it.
I'll start with something like this, 'zoom into the armoire, plants are growing out of the armoire, birds are flying in scene'.
Then I can Generate.
To be the most effective, your video prompt can include things like shot type description, character, action, location, and even aesthetic.
I've got my video.
I'll play it.
Not quite what I need, so I'm going to make a few changes.
Over on the left here we can actually change some of the Camera options if it's available, like Shot size.
What I want to do is I want to make it so that we Zoom in.
I put it in the Prompt, but I'm going to do it over here as well.
And I'm going to start to iterate on the Prompt by adding more and more detail.
I try not to overload it up front and see where it changes.
We also have a Generation history down here, where you can go back in time and start from any previous generation point.
This looks pretty good.
I want to download this and we're going to create a short teaser out of it.
I can actually download it and take it right over to let's say Adobe Premiere or Adobe After Effects and add whatever I need, like maybe title graphics to finish my book launch teaser.
Firefly Image to video (beta) has a lot of great control.
I even went back and added a new first frame image and tweaked the Prompt a little bit to spin the armoire and got something totally different.
And now that you know how to do it, why don't you give it a try?
Make a video for your own launch teaser you come up with.
