Question

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
