An AI video editor is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to automate and assist with video editing tasks that would traditionally require manual effort, such as trimming and cutting clips, making scene-aware clip adjustments, and adding text or audio. Instead of using complex controls, you can describe what you want in a prompt and the AI video editor makes the edit. The Adobe Firefly video editor offers all of these capabilities with no technical skills required.
Adobe Firefly offers two options for editing videos with AI:
- In the Edit tab of Generate Video, you can upscale your video or write a prompt to guide edits. This includes scene-aware video transformations: You can change characters, costumes, and objects, or redirect action in your scene using text prompts, first and last frames, and character references.
- In the timeline-based Adobe Firefly video editor (currently in beta and available on desktop), you can trim and arrange clips and generate video and audio directly within the editing workflow. You also have access to your Adobe Firefly generation history, making it easy to bring together generated video, images, voice, and soundtracks. Text templates and editable text properties are available as well for creating more compelling content.
Adobe Firefly supports two video creation paths depending on how you like to work. If you want a quick result, start with Quick Actions to discover video ideas and formats, then assemble a video by bringing your clips together. If you prefer to start with the story, build a story to plan your scenes and shot suggestions, then move into the Firefly video editor to refine and finish. Both paths give you a polished, shareable video without needing professional editing experience.
When you want to get from footage to a finished video fast, assemble a video. Drag and drop your clips, arrange them, and export without a steep learning curve. Switch to the Adobe Firefly video editor when you need more control, like fine-tuning timing, adding precise audio, or polishing individual scenes. You can move between the two as your project evolves.
No prior editing experience is required. The AI video editor tools in Adobe Firefly are intuitive for anyone to get started and assemble their clips directly in their web browser.
The Adobe Firefly Video Model (for video generation and prompt-based editing) is available on desktop browsers at firefly.adobe.com and on the Adobe Firefly mobile app for iOS and Android. You can generate video clips using Text to Video and Image to Video from your phone or computer, and your creations sync across devices through Generation History.
The Adobe Firefly video editor is currently available only on desktop (macOS and Windows) using the Chrome browser. Other browsers like Edge, Firefox, and Safari may not support all features yet.
The Adobe Firefly video editor supports a wide range of creative projects, including social media content (vertical, square, and horizontal formats), tutorials, product reviews, interview and podcast cuts, B-roll sequences, and explainer videos. You can combine AI-generated clips, your own uploaded footage, and Adobe Stock assets on a multi-track timeline, then add text, voiceovers, soundtracks, and sound effects to create polished, ready-to-share videos. Use Quick Cut to automatically assemble a first draft from your footage, or edit by transcript for dialogue-driven content like interviews and talking heads.
Yes. The Adobe Firefly AI Video Model is trained on licensed content and public domain materials where copyright has expired, making it safe to use AI generated video in commercial projects. Note: Commercial usage eligibility depends on the model used. Partner models may have different usage terms.
There are two ways to generate new video clips:
- Generate Video: Use Text to Video or Image to Video in the Adobe Firefly web app to generate clips, then access them in the Generation History panel.
- Generate Media panel in the video editor: Open the Generate Media panel directly within the editor, enter a text prompt, and add your new clip straight to the timeline without leaving your workspace. Both methods produce video clips you can drag and drop or export into your project.

The best AI video editor helps creators edit video fast with creative AI. With Adobe Firefly, you can edit a single clip fast with a prompt, and you can cut and rearrange clips in your timeline, then generate new clips to fit into your video. Without leaving your workflow, you can add titles, voiceover, and audio to complete your video.
