Learn how to effortlessly create videos using keyframe images and text prompts.

Try it in the app
Create videos using images and text prompts in a few simple steps.

Powered by Adobe Firefly and commercially safe, Generate video (beta) allows you to craft brand-new video clips. By using a mix of prompts and keyframe images, you can animate still shots and illustrations, transforming them into captivating video clips.

  1. On the Adobe Firefly website, select Image to video.

  2. On the Generate video page, under the Frame option, upload an image for the first keyframe.

    Note:

    Availability of our generative AI capabilities, including those from the Firefly video and audio models, may vary based on geographic location, user type, and regulatory requirements. Learn more here.

  3. Along with the image for the first keyframe, you can also upload one for the end keyframe to conclude the video. These uploaded images for the first and end keyframes serve as fixed points, providing guidance to ensure the video starts and ends with them.

    Two images are uploaded for the first and end keyframes serve as fixed points, providing guidance to ensure the video starts and ends with them.
    The uploaded images serve as the initial and final keyframes, guiding the video to start and end with them.

    Note:

    The uploaded image determines the shot size and angle for the generated video, so these options are turned off for Image to video.

  4. Select from the available camera Motion options to guide the camera's movement within the generated video:

    • Zoom in: Move the camera lens closer to the subject, making it appear larger as the video proceeds.
    • Zoom out: Move the camera lens away from the subject, making it appear smaller as the video proceeds.
    • Move left: Rotate the camera horizontally to the left side.
    • Move right: Rotate the camera horizontally to the right side.
    • Tilt up: Shift the camera vertically upward.
    • Tilt down: Shift the camera vertically downward.
    • Static: Keep the camera fixed in one position without any movement.
    • Handheld: Simulate the effect of handheld camera footage, creating a shaky or unstable appearance.
    Note:

    The camera Motion section will be disabled upon uploading a second image for the last keyframe, as the camera positions in each image will determine the motion between them.

  5. Enter a text prompt in the Prompt field.

    Tip:

    As the text prompt guides the transition between the two keyframes, describing the content of the keyframes will help create a smoother transition.

  6. Select Generate .

After the video generation is complete, it will appear in your history strip, ready for download to your local device.

Tip:

Select the History  icon to show or hide the video generation history for only the current browser session. Selecting the preview images will load the generated video along with its settings.
