Adobe's AI Videos Get Audio: Is It Better Than Google's Veo 3?

New Adobe Firefly video updates are here to bring your AI-generated videos to the next level and to potentially keep the company competitive in the crowded AI market. You'll be able to add sound effects to your Firefly AI videos, thanks to a beta release of a new AI tool rolling out now, the company announced Thursday. It's the second major tech company to release such capabilities, following Google's Veo 3 launch in May. There are also a couple of other changes coming to Firefly video, includi

Adobe Firefly can now generate sound effects from your audio cues

Since rolling out the redesign of its Firefly app in April, Adobe has been releasing major updates for the generative AI hub at a near monthly clip. Today, the company is introducing a handful of new features to assist those who use Firefly's video capabilities. To start, Adobe is making it easier to add sound effects to AI-generated clips. Right now, the majority of video models create footage without any accompanying audio. Adobe is addressing this with a nifty little feature that allows user

Adobe Firefly can now generate AI sound effects for videos - and I'm seriously impressed

Adobe / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Just a year and a half ago, the latest and greatest of Adobe's Firefly generative AI offerings involved producing high-quality images from text with customization options, such as reference images. Since then, Adobe has pivoted into text-to-video generation and is now adding a slew of features to make it even more competitive. Also: Forget Sora: Adobe launches 'commercially safe' AI video generator. How to try it On Thursday, Adobe released a series of upg

Adobe’s new AI tool turns silly noises into realistic audio effects

Adobe is launching new generative AI filmmaking tools that provide fun ways to create sound effects and control generated video outputs. Alongside the familiar text prompts that typically allow you to describe what Adobe’s Firefly AI models should make or edit, users can now use onomatopoeia-like voice recordings to generate custom sounds, and use reference footage to guide the movements in Firefly-generated videos. The Generate Sound Effects tool that’s launching in beta on the Firefly app can

iPhone 17 Pro could get exclusive new anti-reflective display

Apple’s iPhone 17 line will be here soon, and today a rumor indicates the 17 Pro and Pro Max could get an exclusive anti-reflective display feature. Here are the details. Rumored anti-reflective display might come to iPhone 17 Pro after all Juli Clover writes at MacRumors: A reliable source that spoke to MacRumors said Apple suppliers have been able to achieve a high enough yield on the anti-reflective glass to support mass production. The ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ and Pro Max will get the new display

Former Top Google Researchers Have Made a New Kind of AI Agent

A new kind of artificial intelligence agent, trained to understand how software is built by gorging on a company’s data and learning how this leads to an end product, could be both a more capable software assistant and a small step toward much smarter AI. The new agent, called Asimov, was developed by Reflection, a small but ambitious startup cofounded by top AI researchers from Google. Asimov reads code as well as emails, Slack messages, project updates, and other documentation with the goal o

These are the pros and cons of buying from Apple’s refurbished store: Is it worth it?

Apple has long offered a refurbished store on its website, where it sells recent generation products at a pretty sizable discount. Unlike other refurbished offerings, Apple guarantees a replaced outer shell, battery, and glass – ensuring no wear and tear. You also get a 1 year Apple warranty and the ability to add AppleCare if you’d like. That sounds great, but is it actually worth it? Well, it depends. We’ll be delving into Apple refurbished listings, and comparing it to other offerings on the

Let me pay for Firefox

Hi Mozilla community, I’m a long time Mozilla supporter, I’ve published free (as in freedom) and open-source software, and I desperately want Mozilla to charge for Firefox. If that sounds like a contradiction, please keep reading. I first became involved with the Mozilla community around 2006. I was active in the Spread Firefox project, where I ran a contest that encouraged others to promote Firefox in the most creative ways they could imagine. In hindsight, I guess it could have been called a

The 55-inch Hisense U7 is a great 4K TV under $600 for Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day’s best deals may not last for much longer, since the sale ends later tonight. This includes a big discount on the 2025 Hisense U7, a midrange TV that’s seeing deep discounts right now. The 65-inch model is available on Amazon for $797.99, which is almost 50 percent off its original. And the 55-inch is under $600. That’s a lot of performance for the money, and I’ll tell you why. In previous years, a lower price generally meant a less bright TV, and while that’s still true to an

Rocket maker Firefly Aerospace files to go public under ticker FLY

Firefly Aerospace CEO Jason Kim sits for an interview at the Firefly Aerospace mission operations center in Leander, Texas, on July 9, 2025. Rocket maker Firefly Aerospace filed for an initial public offering on Friday, with plans to trade under the ticker symbol "FLY" on the Nasdaq. Firefly's planned offering comes during a resurgence period for IPOs after the market collapsed in 2022 as rising interest rates and skyrocketing inflation deterred investors from betting on riskier assets. Some

Apple adds Firefox support to iCloud Passwords on Windows

Apple has rolled out official support for Firefox in the latest update to its iCloud for Windows app, allowing users to autofill and access their iCloud Passwords directly in Mozilla’s browser for the first time. Hasn’t this been available for months? Not exactly. A Firefox extension for iCloud Passwords has been listed on the Mozilla Add-ons store for months, but it wasn’t functional on Windows. Until now, as observed on Reddit, only Chrome and Microsoft Edge were fully supported via the iClo

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

Opinion Dominance does not equal importance, nor is dominance the same as relevance. The snag at Mozilla is a management layer that doesn't appear to understand what works for its product nor which parts of it matter most to users. It is very rare for an article on The Register to cause friends of mine to contact me and anxiously ask if they should change their choice of tech, but SJVN's recent column, "Firefox is dead to me," did it. Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed

China jumps ahead in the race to achieve a new kind of reuse in space

Two Chinese satellites have rendezvoused with one another more than 20,000 miles above the Earth in what analysts believe is the first high-altitude attempt at orbital refueling. China's Shijian-21 and Shijian-25 satellites, known as SJ-21 and SJ-25 for short, likely docked together in geosynchronous orbit some time last week. This is the conclusion of multiple civilian satellite trackers using open source imagery showing the two satellites coming together, then becoming indistinguishable as a

Leaks hint at Operator-like tool in ChatGPT ahead of GPT-5 launch

A few new code references in the ChatGPT web app and Android point to an Operator-like tool in GPT's chain of thoughts. As spotted by Tibor on X, the Android beta has strings like “click,” “drag,” “type,” and even “terminal feed,” which seem to suggest that ChatGPT could soon call a remote browser or sandboxed environment (Operator?). For those unaware, OpenAI already has Operator, which uses an AI agent to navigate a remote browser session and execute tasks for you. These references suggest

Nano-engineered thermoelectrics enable scalable, compressor-free cooling

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have developed a new, easily manufacturable solid-state thermoelectric refrigeration technology with nano-engineered materials that is twice as efficient as devices made with commercially available bulk thermoelectric materials. As global demand grows for more energy-efficient, reliable and compact cooling solutions, this advancement offers a scalable alternative to traditional compressor-based refrigeration.
