Adobe Firefly vs. Adobe Premiere Pro

In my experience, I found that using Adobe Firefly was well suited for video editing in Premiere Pro due to its ability to help me streamline my editing process. For example, if the music track is shorter than the video track the Remix Tool helps to expand the music track (with cut points) to match the length of the video, and the result is always professional and polished. In addition, Adobe Firefly has also helped my video editing process when I was in need of better b-Roll. If the b-Roll I am using is subpar, all I need to do is give precise prompts of what I desire, or use the 'Image to Video' option along with a prompt to have Adobe Firefly create b-Roll footage. And I can keep tweaking the result via additional prompt directions. After I am satisfied, I can export the video and then import it into Adobe Premiere Pro. The entire process makes working on a team or as a freelance video editor quite productive.

Adobe Premiere Pro seems to be industry standard for video editing. For any type of video promotion or production Premiere is a great software for tidying up and correcting video color and audio as well as an easy editor to bring multiple clips together into a seamless production. Because it is the professional version, for casual video editing it may be too much program.

• Generative fill is a real time-saver, enabling us to modify images to suit our needs quickly and easily.
• Text to image is an effective and fun tool to use, enabling us to create hard-to-find images for projects, or to create fantasy-like images that would otherwise require lots of manual effort to generate.
• Firefly enables non-designers and artists to generate ideas, helping them to brief the design team in more detail.

• The audio output of this program is better than those of other video editing software.
• You can make cuts from other videos and make a unique video.
• When you edit a video you can put audio, images, letters and other things.

• Prompting is an art and takes some time to improve
• The reality of the images can be hit or miss, such as details like hands or too many legs
• I would like to see an easier way to upload a reference image and see outputs similar to what I uploaded.

• GPU utilization- While Premiere utilizes the GPU occasionally and during exports, it's mostly a CPU intensive program. Unless you have a powerful CPU, your computer may struggle to playback high-resolution footage.
• The Graphics panel is very useful and has come a long way but still needs some work. I need more templates available to me since I'm paying monthly for this service.

Clearly, part of our Adobe Product utilization strategies provides enormous value to the team. Adobe has worked very well for me and my team. It and their products are leading edge, in my opinion. You always give credit where it is due. Applications and the levels of integration are very important to us as a Small Business looking for functionality and cutting cost.

Adobe Premiere Pro saves time and cost and it does a great job. When you see the output you know that you have made the right investment in the right application. Adobe does not require a lot of support to work good. There are thousands of videos in case you are looking for a particular thing to do during your work on your videos therefore it is well supported.

Easy to use on the web application, and its integration into Photoshop is super easy to utilize for my projects. I always get what I am looking for out of Firefly, and it's become an amazing tool to save me time on a heavy workload task.

Premiere Pro is a very powerful tool, but it's not intuitive - it's virtually impossible to use without some kind of training or instruction. That being said, once you've learned how to use the product so that you can take advantage of its various video editing and creation options, it's an incredible program in terms of features and tools.

The customer support was extremely slow, being passed to multiple departments, having calls dropped and need to start all over. I basically had to hold THEIR hand through the process so they could fully understand the situation. The most effective part was when I finally spoke with someone who was able to access my computer and walk through the issues themself. However, they came to the same conclusion after an entire hour, and had no idea why or that it was an issue that could be escalated to the technical team. Ultimately this communicates that Adobe Premiere has no interest in refining their platform, which solidified my ZERO user confidence in this video editing platform.

Utilizing one of the many books available on Adobe Premiere Pro, each video editor can learn at their own pace.

As I have noted in previous answers, the integration of Adobe Firefly is already done for you. It is part of the Adobe Suite and works seamlessly with all other Adobe products. If you don't happen to use Adobe products, it works just like any other AI image creation tool in that you can save and download your creations to edit in whatever software tools you prefer.

Midjourney was the first text to AI program I had experience with, and I've used it successfully for nearly three years. But with the availability of Adobe Firefly and its partner models, it became unnecessary to assume the additional expense. I do occasionally use AI enhancement applications, such as Krea, to give some of my images a little extra "punch" when needed.

We actually took time in 2020 to test out Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve to see if they would be better suited for our department but ended up sticking with Premiere. Each has [its] strong suits, but the non-linear editing style of Resolve was too complicated to grasp when already working in linear programs for so long. Their features aren't as robust and Premiere (outside of color). Final Cut is always a great tool, but if we were to switch to using PC it would become a problem down the road. And not being able to seamlessly use After Effects within Final Cut was the final nail in the coffin.

• It allows my company to produce products. Full stop. There is no more valuable tool than Premiere for our entire company.
• Premiere's slow export time consumes the entirety of my computer. This means I often need to go to another machine to continue working. It's frustrating.
• Premiere also slows down when handling videos larger than 1080p. This slows down my workflow. Every second of my workday needs to make things go faster. Anything that slows it down is a serious problem.
