Shotz vs Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly is Adobe's AI for images, video and audio, with its own models trained on licensed content, partner models alongside them, and Generative Fill and Extend inside Photoshop and Premiere. Shotz is one place to cut your footage and generate the shots you're missing, on many models, without a suite around it.

Adobe FireflyWhat it’s for

Adobe users. Generate and fix images and clips inside the apps a creative team already uses.

ShotzWhat it’s for

Getting to a finished video quickly. Shotz finds the moments, makes the cut and generates only what's missing.

The short version.

A suite or an editor

Firefly adds AI to many Adobe apps. Shotz is one editor built around AI from the start.

Finds the moment

Search everything you filmed for one moment, by what happens in it.

Price before you press

Every model's cost is on the button, from one set of credits.

Side by side.

An honest look at what each tool is built to do. Plenty of people use both.
