Adobe Firefly's AI Dubbing: Revolutionizing Multilingual Content Creation

AI dubbing opens up new languages with Adobe Firefly

With the content we create now reaching a global audience, it's essential that local languages are used if you want your message to be understood. Up until recently, this has required using professional translation services which take time and money. But, thanks to the powerful AI capabilities of Adobe Firefly, you can quickly and easily turn your English-speaking audio into Spanish, French, Chinese or many other languages with only a few clicks. Here's how Adobe Firefly can make sure you're heard all around the world. What is Adobe Firefly? Firefly is Adobe's generative AI solution, which allows users to create or enhance images, videos and audio, as well as translate languages. It's found as a component in many of the Adobe apps - such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Express - but also works as a standalone app and can be accessed via the web. The hallmark of Adobe Firefly is its simplicity, as the software features an intuitive interface that makes it a great tool for those who don't want a huge learning curve to be able to access its incredible features. How Adobe Firefly can help you speak to an international audience While video and images are often universal, audio has a far more localised focus. It's true that much of the world speaks English, but there are many places where that isn't the case. Also, it's better to speak to people in their own language rather than expect them to understand yours. With this in mind, Adobe Firefly's translation capabilities are an excellent way to create promotional campaigns, YouTube content, TikTok videos or in-house training material that can be delivered to audiences in their native tongue. All you need is an existing video with the audio recorded in a single language. Simply visit the Adobe Firefly web app, select the Translate Video option, upload your content, choose the language (you can have up to five at a time) you want it translated into, then Firefly will take care of the rest. One of the best features, is that you don't just get a generic voice in the translation, as Firefly uses its AI technology to keep the tone, cadence and emotions of the original vocals, ensuring that the finished video sounds authentic and natural. Accompanying the audio is also a transcription, which is written in the appropriate language so you don't have to find another way to translate that as well. With over 20 languages currently available, Adobe Firefly is the fast and simple way to bring an international feel to your content, without the additional costs of translation or localisation that would make this impossible for many creators. Try Adobe Firefly today Adobe Firefly is a powerful way to ensure your message is understood all across the globe. To start using the translation service you can sign up to the Firefly Standard tier that costs $9.99/£9.98p/m and lets you translate up to six minutes of audio or video. If you need more, then there's the Firefly Pro tier, which gives you 23 minutes of translation for $29.99/£28.99 p/m. With the world being more in touch than ever, Adobe Firefly is the low-cost, low-effort way to expand your audience and reach people that would have been forever locked behind the barrier of language. Now, they're only a few clicks away.

How to use AI for dubbing videos with Adobe Firefly

Adding dubbing to videos has never been easier than with Adobe Firefly Making videos is easier than ever, especially with AI tools, but getting them in front of a global audience is still a challenge. Language often acts as the biggest barrier: a tutorial filmed in English might struggle to reach viewers in Japan, while a product demo in Spanish could be missed by customers in Germany. Until recently, the only way around that was to pay for dubbing or subtitles, both of which can be slow and costly. Adobe thinks it has a better answer. Its Firefly AI platform now includes tools for automatically dubbing videos and audio into other languages, while keeping the original speaker's voice intact. Called Translate Video and Translate Audio, the features are designed to be simple enough for casual creators, but powerful enough for businesses that need training, marketing, or educational content in multiple languages. Today, we're taking a look at how to easily dub videos using Firefly. Using Adobe Firefly to dub your content is a straightforward process. The tool is built to be accessible whether you're working on a short clip for social media or a training module for a business audience. Please note: These instructions are correct as of August 2025. Adobe frequently updates its products and that may change how Firefly AI dubbing works. While Firefly makes dubbing simple, a few practical steps can help you get the best results. AI dubbing is a way of translating the spoken audio in a video or recording into another language using artificial intelligence models. Instead of hiring actors to re-record dialogue, software analyses the original speech, translates it, and then generates a new version in the target language. Adobe Firefly goes a step further by attempting to recreate the tone and style of the original voice, so the translated track still sounds like the person speaking. That's a big difference from traditional dubbing, which is often expensive and time-consuming, requiring recording studios, scripts, and professional voice actors. Firefly's approach is designed to be quicker and more accessible: upload your file, pick a language, and let the AI handle the rest. Right now, Firefly supports dubbing into more than 15 languages, with Adobe continuing to expand the list. The system works for both video and audio files, meaning you can translate everything from explainer clips to podcasts. Adobe Firefly stands out because it sits directly inside the Creative Cloud ecosystem, meaning you don't need separate tools or complicated workflows. If you already use apps like Premiere Pro or Adobe Express, Firefly's dubbing fits neatly into your editing process. The platform also offers features designed to make translations sound more natural, in a bid to make them closer to human-led dubbing. Voices are recreated to match the pitch and tone of the original speaker, and enterprise users can even add lip-sync support so the visuals align with the dubbed track. Importantly, every output includes Adobe's Content Credentials, which flag when generative AI has been used. Adobe Firefly's dubbing tools serve a wide range of needs. For creators, they offer a quick way to reach new audiences; a short tutorial recorded in English can be adapted into Hindi, Japanese, or Spanish without re-recording. Businesses can also benefit, using dubbing for marketing, explainers, and training materials, with enterprise lip-sync features helping content look and sound more natural. Education is another clear use case. Lectures and workshops can be translated so international students or colleagues can follow along, with Firefly keeping the speaker's voice and tone consistent. Podcasters and audiobook producers can also adapt their recordings for new audiences while retaining their style and delivery. There are, however, some caveats. Firefly works best with single-speaker audio, and clear recordings are essential as noise or echo reduces accuracy. File length is limited to 10 minutes in the web app, though the API allows up to 30 minutes. Transcript editing is also minimal online, with greater control via the API, and the system cannot handle singing or music. Availability is limited to Adobe-supported regions, and every output includes Content Credentials to show that AI was used. Adobe Firefly dubbing is available through the standard Firefly plans. Adobe's free tier provides a limited number of generative credits each month, enough to test features or work on shorter clips, while paid subscriptions unlock more capacity. The Standard plan, at £9.99 or $9.99 per month, includes 2,000 credits, which is typically enough for around 20 short AI-generated videos. The Pro plan, at £29.99 or $29.99 per month, offers a higher allowance of roughly 70 short videos. Enterprise customers can access advanced features such as lip-sync and API support, with the API allowing clips of up to 30 minutes. As with all Adobe services, Firefly dubbing is available only in supported regions, with some geographical restrictions still in place. Firefly's dubbing tools strike a balance between accessibility and quality. For most users, the biggest advantage is how simple the process feels. Uploading a file, choosing a language, and generating a translation takes only a few clicks, and the results are generally convincing in my testing. Voices retain much of their natural tone, and for enterprise users, the addition of lip-sync makes the finished product more polished. That said, Firefly does have limitations. It supports fewer languages than some specialist platforms, and it works best with clear, single-speaker audio. Transcript editing within the web app is minimal, and while the API offers more control, it adds complexity. Competing services such as HeyGen or ElevenLabs still have an edge in flexibility, but Firefly's advantage lies in its integration with Adobe's ecosystem.
