Regenerate clips in Video assembler

Последнее обновление 9 нояб. 2026 г.

Use a text prompt to create new versions of a clip using Video assembler in Adobe Firefly.

   Video assembler is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, now available for testing and feedback.

Use this procedure when you want to change specific elements within an existing clip—such as the background, lighting, or subject—rather than creating an entirely new clip. 

Create a new take from a prompt

Select a clip you want to modify in your sequence.

In the prompt bar, describe the specific change you want to make, such as adjusting the background, lighting, or subject elements.

The video assembler prompt bar displays a background change request and the upload button.
You can also select multiple clips to apply changes across them.

Select the icon to generate a new take.

Wait for the generation to complete. New takes are stacked on top of each other on the right side of the preview area.

Select takes from the list to preview each version.

To update the final sequence, simply select the take you want to use, and it will replace the existing one in the timeline sequence.

When the generation completes, the new take automatically becomes active. Your original clip remains available as the Original take, and each subsequent regeneration adds another numbered take. Selecting a different take will update both the preview and the clip used in your sequence.

You can enter additional prompts to create more takes for the same clip, giving you multiple creative options to choose from.

Примечание

You can include clips longer than 10 seconds in your sequence, but you can only regenerate clips that are 10 seconds or shorter.

Provide visual guidance with reference images

To gain more precise control over the regeneration output, add a reference image to guide the visual direction. This helps ensure the generated content matches your creative vision more closely.

Select the Add a reference image option in the prompt bar. You can add up to three reference images per regeneration.

Add a reference image button highlighted in the Video assembler prompt bar.
Select Add a reference image to provide visual guidance when regenerating a clip.

Choose an image from Adobe cloud storage or your local device by selecting one of the following options:

  • Your files: Select an image from your Adobe cloud storage.
  • Shared with you: Select an image that someone has shared with you.
  • Projects: Select an image from your existing Adobe projects.
  • Generation history: Select an image that you previously generated.
  • On your computer: Browse and select an image stored on your local device.

The reference image provides additional visual context that influences how Video assembler interprets your text prompt. You can only add image files—video and audio files cannot be used as references.

Adjust take duration

Each take can have its own trimmed duration, independent of other takes. This flexibility lets you customize the timing for different versions without affecting your other options.

When you switch between takes with different durations, your sequence adjusts its overall length accordingly. This allows you to compare not just the visual content but also the pacing of different takes within your project.

Open an assembled clip in Timeline

Select Open in timeline to continue editing your Video assembler sequence in Timeline. Your sequence and the active take for each regenerated clip are transferred, while other takes remain in the Video assembler. In Timeline, you can continue editing with multi-track audio, color correction, motion graphics and effects, transitions, titles, and captions.
