Adobe is bringing its video editor Premiere to iPhone, promising “pro-level” editing on the go for free. The app will launch later this month, with an Android version also under development.
The Premiere app features a familiar multi-track timeline, with support for an unlimited number of video, audio, and text layers. There’s automatic captioning, 4K HDR support, and one-tap exporting to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram — including automatic resizing that frames content for each platform.
The iOS version of Premiere will be free to download and use, though Adobe says there will be charges for additional cloud storage and generative AI credits. Speaking of, it includes support for Adobe’s generative sound effects and AI-powered speech enhancement, plus a wider range of AI assets generated through Adobe Firefly. If you’d rather not use AI content, there’s a selection of Adobe fonts, along with images, sounds, music, and video assets that are free to use.
Until now Adobe has only offered Premiere Rush on mobile, a simplified version of its video editor. The new Premiere promises something a little closer to the full Premiere Pro according to Mike Polner, vice president of creator product marketing, putting “pro-level creative control in your hands, without the pro-level complexity.”
“With Premiere on iPhone, we’re bringing that same creative power that filmmakers, designers, animators, and YouTube creators use to produce hit commercials, iconic music videos, Oscar-winning films, and viral content to the most convenient place to move from capture to publish: your phone.”
