Working with Firefly video editor
File size and duration limitation
Each file added to the video editor must be under 20 GB in size and no longer than 4 hours in duration. The editor currently does not support files that exceed either the size or time limit.
Video and image files must not exceed a resolution of 3840 x 3840 pixels to be imported.
Thumbnails not generated for certain videos
Thumbnail generation in the timeline is unavailable for media files with dimensions exceeding 3840 pixels.
Working with GIF files
Animated GIF files do not retain their animation when added to the timeline. Only the first frame is displayed, even though the file appears animated in the Your media panel.
Videos generated with the Transparent background option
If you use the Generation history panel to add a video generated with the Transparent background option, it may not appear as expected. This is because media with transparent backgrounds is not fully supported in the Firefly video editor at this time.
Transcription is available in select languages
Currently, the transcription when using the Text-based editing feature supports audio content spoken in the following languages:
- English
- Hindi
- Japanese
- Indonesian
- Portuguese
- German
- Spanish
- French
- Korean
- Italian
If the spoken language in the audio or video is in other languages, it may result in inaccurate or incomplete transcription. Support for additional languages will be added in future updates.
