Unlike its competitors, Adobe is positioning itself by ensuring the legality of its AI-generated content, emphasizing that its models are trained exclusively on data the company has the rights to use. This step is crucial for creators and businesses looking to use AI outputs for commercial purposes.

Adobe has not yet announced customers for its video tool, but it did reveal that other companies like PepsiCo-owned Gatorade and Mattel are leveraging its image generation models for various design and marketing initiatives. Ely Greenfield, Adobe’s chief technology officer for digital media, highlighted the platform’s ease of use, aiming to blend AI-generated footage seamlessly with traditional video content. This practical approach focuses on tools that creators and videographers are familiar with, such as camera angles and motion, making it a powerful asset for video editors.
As the competition in AI video tools intensifies, Adobe’s move reflects its determination to provide creators with reliable, commercially viable tools while standing apart from larger competitors.
