Adobe Firefly Generate Music
Firefly Music Model
Adobe Firefly Generate Music generates original music for video and creative work, powered by the Firefly Music Model from Adobe Research. Three things set it apart:
- High-quality music. Original, emotionally rich tracks tuned to your content’s length and mood.
- Commercially safe. Trained on licensed data and universally licensed on output, so your music can go wherever your content does — no takedowns, no licensing ambiguity, no separate subscription. Customers on qualifying plans are eligible for IP indemnification on generated content, and every output carries Content Credentials — tamper-evident provenance metadata recording that the audio was AI-generated and which model made it.
- Deeply integrated. Built into the tools creators actually work in — Adobe Firefly, Firefly mobile, Firefly AI Assistant, Adobe Stock, and Premiere Pro — so scoring happens inside the edit instead of alongside it.
Generally available since August 20, 2026.
What it does
- Video to Prompt — select a range under a video clip and generate music matched to what happens on screen.
- Tempo control — set BPM yourself, or leave it automatic and let the model choose.
- Duration — anywhere from five seconds to five minutes.
- Seamless loops — for music that needs to repeat.
- Four variations per generation, so you can compare and pick what fits.
- Prompt enhancement — built in, to help get better results from a short description.
- Commercially safe — universally licensed original tracks, ready for finished commercial work.

Background
Generate Music began as Project Music GenAI Control, an Adobe Research preview announced in February 2024, which introduced the idea of generated music you can steer rather than re-roll: Adobe Blog · Adobe Research · TechCrunch
