Turn text and images into fluid AI video
What they are
Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is a generative AI image and design tool built into Adobe's ecosystem, letting creators produce images, text effects, and generative fills from text prompts. It targets graphic designers, marketers, and content creators already using Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. Firefly's output is trained on licensed content, which reduces commercial copyright risk compared to some rivals. The standalone web app is functional, but the deepest value shows up inside existing Adobe apps.
Luma Dream Machine
Luma Dream Machine is an AI video generator that converts text prompts and reference images into short, realistic video clips. It is used by content creators, social media managers, and motion designers who need quick video assets without traditional production. The output quality is impressive for short clips, but generation time and clip length constraints make it a tool for ideation and social content rather than long-form production.
