Adobe Firefly expands its creative toolkit by introducing a beta Generate Sound Effects feature that works through voice recordings or simple text prompts. Users can now mimic a sound, like whispering "whoosh" or tapping on a mic, and Firefly will sync and layer studio-grade sound effects directly into a video timeline. Four unique audio versions are presented for each prompt, replacing the need to comb through sound libraries.
The update also brings advanced video tools: Composition Reference matches framing from existing footage, Keyframe Cropping defines start/end visuals, and new style presets include anime and claymation aesthetics. Additionally, Adobe is integrating third-party AI models, such as Runway Gen‑4 and Google Veo 3, into Firefly, aiming to keep its platform versatile and commercially safe. With these additions, Firefly solidifies itself as a one-stop AI hub for filmmakers and creators.
