This is Adobe's first-ever deal in the generative AI and video-tooling space. Earlier this year, Adobe introduced Firefly, a creative generative AI models, foc sed on the generation of images and text effects. Adobe is actively designing generative AI to support creators In a recent Adobe study 88 percent of brands said content demand at least doubled over the last year and two-thirds expect it to grow 5X over the next two years. Adobe is leveraging generative AI to ease this burden with solutions for smarter solutions.
