  Adobe has announced that the Generative Extend feature is available at no cost for a limited time. Once this introductory period ends, users will need to use Firefly generative credits to access the tool. According to a report by The Verge, depending on the Creative Cloud subscription level, users receive a monthly allowance of credits ranging from 25 to 1,000. For those needing more, a separate Firefly credit plan is available, starting at $10 per month, which includes 2,000 credits.

 

While Adobe has yet to confirm how many credits Generative Extend will require per use, the company noted that the cost will depend on several factors, including the video’s format, resolution, and frame rate.
