Maximize creative efficiency with TikTok Symphony in Adobe Express
At Adobe, we’re always looking for ways to make creative processes faster, more efficient, and more accessible. That’s why we continue to innovate with our partner TikTok, the world's leading destination for short-form video, to make it easier for businesses to create effective ads that resonate with their audiences. Our partnership brings the best of both worlds — Adobe’s leading content creation tools and TikTok’s fast-paced, trend-driven environment — into one seamless experience.
This collaboration simplifies the ad creation process, helping businesses craft content that resonates with the TikTok community. The integration of TikTok’s Symphony Assistant as an add-on in Adobe Express provides real-time insights and inspiration, while the new Symphony image-to-video feature in Express transforms static product images into engaging, TikTok-first videos using the power of AI. The ability to repurpose existing images into engaging videos is a game-changer for marketers. Instead of starting from scratch, brands can now generate dynamic, video-ready content in just a few clicks. This feature significantly reduces the time and effort required to produce high-quality ads, allowing businesses to be more agile in their marketing efforts.
"To realize our vision of creativity powered by technology that supercharges productivity and drives real results, we are continuing our commitment to the entire creative ecosystem. We are partnering with leaders in marketing content creation to bring the power of TikTok Symphony into more tools and solutions to unlock unparalleled return on creativity,” said Andy Yang, Global Head of Creative & Brand Products at TikTok. “We're not just evolving the space — together we're redefining what's creatively possible."
How to get started with Symphony image-to-video:
- Upload Product Images: Use 9:16 aspect ratio images for best results. These could be product shots, promotional materials, or brand assets.
- Prompt the AI: Select from a dropdown of creative suggestions or input your own custom prompt. For example, for a product shot of a soda can, you could ask the AI to generate a video where "condensation beads appear on the can."
- Generate Video: The AI processes the image and creates a five-second dynamic video based on the provided prompt.
- Enhance with Templates: Add the generated video to one of Adobe Express’s TikTok-first templates to align it with trending content and visuals.
- Refine the Video: Use the Remove Video Background feature to perfect the video and ensure it fits seamlessly with your ad’s aesthetic.
Start with any image — including images created in Adobe Creative Cloud apps. Seamless integrations with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Lightroom make it simple to access pro-grade images from within Adobe Express. By using AI to generate video content from static images, marketers can now achieve the level of creativity and engagement that TikTok’s fast-moving platform demands — without the need for extensive video production. This tool empowers brands to quickly create fresh, high-impact videos that speak directly to their audiences.
Plus, you can leverage TikTok Symphony Assistant for creative guidance. This includes discovering trending content, generating video scripts, and identifying key themes that resonate with TikTok’s global community. Once the video is ready, you can easily add pre-cleared music from TikTok’s Commercial Music Library to complete your TikTok-first video.
The ability to repurpose existing images into compelling video content ensures that businesses can produce more with less, driving efficiency while maintaining high levels of creativity.
