HOW TO: Generate Stunning AI Videos Using Adobe Firefly

Creating videos with AI can feel like progress wrapped in friction. You open one tool, describe your idea, get a decent result, then switch to another app to fix what the first one couldn’t do, only for the final output to look nothing like what you pictured at the start.

Sure, every model has its own strengths, quirks, and output formats. But that doesn’t mean the final result should fall short of your vision after all that stitching and switching.

What makes it worse is how this juggling act pulls you away from the creative process. You're not just generating—you’re managing tools, decoding interfaces, and hoping nothing breaks in between. While models like DALL·E and Imagen 3 shine on their own, using them together often means bouncing between platforms, repeating prompts, and guessing which one will capture your idea best.

Adobe Firefly changes that. Instead of isolating each model, it brings them under one roof. It connects OpenAI’s visual storytelling, Google’s cinematic engines, and Adobe’s own tools into a single creative space.

If you’re ready to turn a few words into a stunning video, without the mess, this guide will show you exactly how to do it.

Here's how to create videos on Firefly

Step 1: Log in to Adobe Firefly

• Go to firefly.adobe.com and sign in with your Adobe ID. If you don’t have one, you can quickly create an account. While this might not be necessary at first, you will still need to sign in to generate any image or video later on.

Step 2: Select the ‘Video’ or ‘Text to Video’ Feature

• Once logged in, navigate to the new “Video” or “Text to Video” section

Step 3: Choose Your AI Model

• Pick from multiple generation engines depending on your creative goal. However, note that for any of the non-Adobe models, you will have to pay a premium.

Step 4: Enter a Prompt That Captures Your Idea

• For example, you can type in a detailed prompt: “A slow-motion cinematic shot of a gymnast performing acrobatic show with a sword at sunset, filmed in 8K.”

You can add style cues, lighting preferences, or camera angles for more interpretation.

Step 5: Generate your Video

• After typing and customizing your prompt with the necessary details, tap the "Generate" button to create your video. Once generated, tap the "Play" button to view it.

Step 6: Regenerate or Modify Your Style

• If the video doesn’t match your expectations, you can easily regenerate it. Use the style and camera settings on the left-hand side of your screen to tweak the look and feel before hitting regenerate. This way, you stay in control of the final output without starting from scratch.

Step 7: Download Your Video

• Once you're happy with the result, hit the "Download" button to save the video to your device.
