Jacob Phillips explores what’s new in Adobe Firefly by putting together a real estate video for social media. He’ll start in Firefly Video Editor, uploading listing footage and using Quick Cut to build a first edit from a prompt. From there, he’ll trim and arrange clips on the timeline, apply color adjustments, and finish with the new captions and fonts. To wrap up, he’ll generate a thumbnail for the finished video right inside Firefly. Tune in to see how Firefly helps video creators go from raw footage to a polished, ready-to-share social video, fast.
