By introducing a new stand-alone subscription service that allows consumers to access the company’s AI picture, vector, and video generating models, Adobe hopes to build on the early success of its Firefly AI models.
This is Adobe’s most audacious attempt to develop their Firefly AI models into a tangible product to date.
Additionally, the business is unveiling firefly.adobe.com, a revamped website where users can access Adobe’s AI models. The new Firefly AI video model is one of these, and it’s currently available in public beta on the Firefly website and the Premiere Pro Beta app.
For $9.99 a month, Firefly’s Standard package gives you unrestricted access to Adobe’s AI video model and picture and vector generation tools. Twenty five-second AI videos can be created using the 2,000 credits that members of the Standard plan receive.
In order to receive infinite AI image and vector generation in Photoshop, Express, and other Adobe applications, users can additionally link Firefly plans to their Creative Cloud accounts.
The Pro plan, on the other hand, costs $29.99 a month and provides enough credits to produce 70 AI five-second movies. According to Alexandru Costin, VP of Generative AI at Adobe, the business is also developing a “Premium” tier (price has not yet been disclosed) that allows users to produce 500 AI videos per month.
Previously, Adobe offered many of Firefly’s AI tools within its existing Creative Cloud subscriptions, letting users try the new tools for no added cost. Users could upgrade to pricier plans if they wanted more access to Firefly, but they didn’t have to. That system worked well for Adobe: Firefly’s generative fill feature, added to Photoshop in 2023, has become one of the company’s most popular new features of the last decade.
Adobe is now attempting to determine whether people will be willing to pay for its Firefly AI models.

You may create a five-second AI-generated video from text or images using the Firefly video model. Creative pros may want to adjust the camera’s angles, movement, aspect ratio, and other settings using controls on a side panel.
Runway’s Gen-3 Alpha, OpenAI’s Sora, and other AI video models that currently have their own websites and subscription schemes will be directly challenged by the new Firefly products. Veo, an AI video model from Google DeepMind, is still in private beta but appears to be a strong competitor in the market.
As part of its pitch to creative professionals, Adobe claims that since Firefly was trained on a dataset of licensed videos devoid of brand logos and explicit content (something it paid a lot of money to do), creatives should be able to use the Firefly AI models without fear of legal issues.
