Adobe Firefly's video generator creates clips from text or images using Adobe's own Firefly Video Model, which Adobe trained on licensed and public-domain content, and also offers partner models such as Veo, Kling, Luma Ray and Runway. Clips can be refined in the browser-based Firefly video editor, and generative credits are shared with Creative Cloud apps like Premiere and Photoshop. It is a good fit for brands and Creative Cloud users who care about commercial safety.
- Adobe calls Firefly Video Model outputs safe for commercial use (licensed and public-domain training data)
- Partner models (Veo, Kling, Luma Ray, Runway and others) are available in the same workspace
- Credits work across Creative Cloud apps, and the Premium plan includes unlimited Firefly Video Model generations
- Firefly Video Model clips default to 5 seconds at 24 FPS
- Standard plan ($9.99/mo) includes only about 20 five-second videos per month
- Adobe's commercial-safety claim does not cover partner-model outputs; IP indemnification requires enterprise plans
Google's video generation is offered through Google Flow, a filmmaking workspace, and the Gemini app, using Veo 3.1 (Lite, Fast, Quality) and the newer Gemini Omni Flash model. Flow supports text-to-video, first/last frame control, ingredients-to-video, extensions and video editing. Access is bundled into Google AI subscriptions, with a small daily free allowance, making it a good fit for people already in Google's ecosystem.
- Daily 50 free credits even without a subscription
- Plans bundle other Google perks (storage, Gemini) with Flow credits
- Video editing of uploaded clips via Gemini Omni Flash
- Non-subscribers may be blocked from video generation during peak hours (about 2-5 PM UTC)
- 4K upscaling is limited to Ultra subscribers
- Veo 3.1 previews in the Gemini API have been shut down
