Adobe Firefly’s video editor can now automatically create a first draft from footage

Adobe Firefly’s video editor has introduced a new AI-powered feature called Quick Cut, designed to accelerate the video editing process. Quick Cut allows users to describe their desired video in natural language, and the tool automatically edits footage and B-roll, arranging transitions and removing irrelevant sections. Users can also specify settings like aspect ratio and pacing, and incorporate additional B-roll footage. While Quick Cut generates a first draft, Adobe emphasizes that editors will still need to refine the video with manual adjustments. According to Mike Folgner, product lead for AI and next-generation video tools, the goal is to help creators quickly reach their creative vision by automating time-consuming tasks like organizing selects. Adobe has been consistently updating its video tools, including a timeline-based editor with layers and prompt-based editing, and prompt-based editing capabilities for video elements.
