Have you been accepted to Firefly? How long did it take?

[turner111]

Just out of curiosity.
For those of you who applied, have you been accepted - and how long did it take?

(Note that I tried to post this question in the Facebook group, but it has not been accepted. Maybe having, literally, 54 moderators isn't as efficient as it should be.)

I applied some time ago, but haven't gotten in yet. I have a sneaking suspicion I won't be, regardless of having been a registered Adobe user and subscriber for 25+ years.

I see a LOT of Express posts addressing how great Firefly is, but not much content showing "unknown" (relatively unknown) users' content, or process. 

Thanks for your feedback.

It is taking quite a while, as there is such a lot of interest. You can sort of keep up with updates in the Discord, if you have joined that. There is a link to join the Discord at the top of the Adobe Firefly page or you can try this link 

https://discord.gg/adobefirefly

I've joined, but haven't heard anything yet.

Interesting that in 6 hours, yours is the only reply so far.

[thejanebradbury]

Oh, I'm sorry about that. Just little old me popping in to try and help 🙂 There is a lot of interest and activity around Firefly and it moves very fast; I know what it's like to feel like I'm just on the outside, looking in.

The Discord isn't where you will hear; it's a place to share creations, bugs, request features and have a chat about Firefly. Some quick questions to check:

• Did you use your Adobe ID email to request Firefly access and fill in the little questionnaire from this page linked below? Lots of people have been caught out between different emails used in requesting access and then trying to log in with a different email. 
  https://firefly.adobe.com/
• Status as a subscriber or anything doesn't matter. I'm a little person who enjoys being creative, has no great talent and no huge social media following and they let me in!
• The Support Community Page for Firefly. You might also want to keep an eye out here to see if there are any updates or even to ask further about your request.

Thanks - Yes, I applied with my Adobe ID & have received the "Thanks for your interest" email.
I know status as a subscriber doesn't matter. It should. We funded it... 😉
I checked out the Firefly page too.

I'm also on the Discord server & am seeing a lot of nice stuff there. It's not the best way to view so many things, but at least it's pretty active. I'm a bit surprised, still, that I'm not seeing more Youtube videos by people just goofing around with it, though I'm sure we will soon.

Hi,

There are many youtube videos out there, but have in mind its only about one week now Public beta so there can't be as many Videos out there.

But there are some very good ones like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdo58HZM7zs&ab_channel=TerryLeeWhite  or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7kYALvOtz0&ab_channel=AdobeLive  or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7kYALvOtz0&ab_channel=AdobeLive

or

And there will be more coming down the line. You also could take a look at the Facebook Group if you will https://www.facebook.com/groups/adobefirefly Have fun.

Hi Henrik,

as noted:
"not much content showing "unknown" (relatively unknown) users' content, or process."
As in, not Adobe or affiliates. That said, I joined the FB group & will check it out.

[thejanebradbury]

I'm an ordinary user, not an affiliate and all self-taught - will that do? I did a Livestream on Behance yesterday and you can see it here:
A Look At Adobe Firefly

Yes~ Thanks!

Got this from the discourd on 4/4/2023:
Here is the latest info on ETA:
This beta surpassed our wildest expectations and set a new record for the highest demand for an Adobe beta ever. We're scaling up the experience and letting tens of thousands of new beta members in daily. For everyone who has requested access prior to 29/03 and including that day you can expect to be provided access within the next month.
You can learn more here https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2023/03/29/adobe-firefly-beta-updates
Meaning if you applied after the 29th, as of now there is no official info on estimates of time for approval, but I imagine you'd have to wait a bit longer

[ajgentile]

I applied on Mar 30. Still no access (Apr 16)

[HTV Hunt]

I applied 3/31, no access yet (April 25th)

[CeronioArtistry]

I applied on March 30th and was accepted today, April 25th.
So, so exciting and can´t wait to explore.

Have fun!

[olivierg48930521]

Same. So sad 

[Mrs.DaniHeidt]

Three long weeks - got it yesterday.

[GraphikJules]

Applied March 21st and received access March 22nd

[gadgetpuk@gmail.com]

I'm still waiting.....then again I only applied a few days ago.

[Elijah232872144oyt]

ok, so I don't know exactly when I got accepted because they never emailed me and I thought that was the memo.
I applied at the very beginning of April. probable before April 5th. and I have access now 5/3.

[kkitahara1]

It took me about a month. I received it today, and I thought it was an Adobe advertisement. Just be patient; you'll get it.

[il29692541xv59]

I applied on Apr 21. Still no access (May 10)

[changv25534225]

Hi,

I applied on 5/8 and now signed in (5/16) and I can suddenly use firefly beta (not complaining). Didn't get any e-mail.

[paul9220]

IIRC, it was a week or two.
