Adobe Firefly vs AutoAE (2026): AI Video Generation vs. Motion Templates — Which One's for You?

Adobe Firefly (launched Firefly Video Editor April 2026) is a generative AI video creator — you prompt it, it generates footage, but each 5-second clip costs ~100 credits (~20 clips/month on the $9.99 Standard plan). AutoAE is a motion template platform — professional hooks, titles, and transitions in 5 minutes at $2.90/video with full commercial rights. The article establishes a clear 'generative vs. template-based' framework, compares real credit economics, and shows why most serious creators end up using both tools at different workflow stages.
