Adobe Firefly Gets Quick Cut: AI That Edits Your Videos For You
Adobe's Firefly video editor now includes Quick Cut, an AI tool that assembles rough cuts from footage using text prompts.
Adobe just dropped a new trick into Firefly's video editor. It's called Quick Cut, and it does exactly what it sounds like — uses AI to chop up your footage and B-roll into a first draft of a finished video.
The tool works off user prompts. Tell it what you want, feed it your clips, and Quick Cut assembles a rough cut automatically. Think of it as an AI assistant editor that handles the tedious first pass so creators can skip straight to refinement.
This slots neatly into Adobe's broader push to bake generative AI into every corner of its creative suite. Firefly has already tackled image generation and editing. Video was the obvious next frontier.
For editors drowning in hours of raw footage, Quick Cut could shave significant time off the assembly process. The heavy creative lifting still falls on humans — for now.
