Generate Music in Premiere (beta) FAQ

Stock libraries mean leaving Premiere to search, audition, and license tracks that thousands of other videos also use. Music from Adobe Stock is already natively integrated into Premiere, but with Generate Music, you can generate exactly the background track you need just by describing it.

Generate Music, powered by the Firefly Music Model, is optimized to create instrumental background music for video. Instead of creating songs that resemble popular artists.

We see Generate Music as a tool for editors, not a replacement for musicians. It's built for the moments editors reach for temp tracks, quick backing beds, or placeholder music in a rough cut – work that often wouldn't go to a composer or a licensed track in the first place. For original scores, artist collaborations, and signature soundtracks, human musicians remain essential, and Premiere continues to support licensed and stock-music workflows right alongside generation.

Generated music arrives as a high-quality 48 kHz audio clip placed on your timeline, ready to play back natively. It behaves like any other audio clip – you can trim, move, and apply effects, and remove it if you don’t want it.

Generate Music creates instrumental music optimized for video background. It does not generate lyrics.
