Adobe Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Adobe launches the Adobe Premiere app for iPhone. Users can edit video content using the flagship software on the go. The app is free and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. Adobe Premiere established itself as a leading video-editing software tool back when users had to visit a brick-and-mortar store to purchase a physical disc to install software on a PC. However, the emergence of popular short-form social media platforms, such as TikTok, has highlighted the need for on-the-go video editing -- and Adobe is now making that task possible. Adobe has officially launched its Premiere app for iPhone, following its early September launch, which brings its extensive suite of editing tools, previously limited to desktops, to smartphone users for free. The experience should be a seamless extension of what you are already used to, with the same multi-track timeline, colors, and editing tools just available right from your phone screen. Mobile-friendly features Adobe While the idea of using all those features on your phone might sound challenging, the experience has been designed by Adobe to be intuitive and accessible despite the smaller screen. For instance, users will still be able to trim, layer, add automatic captions, access support for 4K HDR, and more with frame-accurate precision, all in a mobile-friendly manner. Also: ChatGPT can buy stuff for you now - forever changing online shopping Since audio is a key component of any video, users can also access the audio tools available in Premiere. One such tool is Enhance Speech, which uses AI to remove background noise even in crowded environments. This capability will be handy when recording voice-overs on the go. Exporting features have also been optimized with creators and social media platforms in mind. For instance, you can start projects on your phone and then export them to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram with a quick tap. Premiere will automatically resize the content for each platform. All of your projects can be started on mobile and then handed off to Premiere Pro on your desktop.

If you can't find a tool, you can also use generative AI to create one using the Adobe Firefly suite of generative AI tools, which can create assets for users on the go from text prompts, existing content, and more. Live demo experiences I have yet to go hands-on with the app, but as a Premiere user, I look forward to trying it soon and sharing the experience with you. Until then, I did get a chance to watch a live demo, and as a frequent video editor, I was impressed with what I saw. The experience was similar to any mobile video editor, such as CapCut or InShot. However, the app had the added benefit of being a natural extension of the Adobe Premiere desktop app, with a similar interface, look, and the same tools, just optimized for mobile. In the demo, the user was able to easily toggle between all the different app settings and options, creating a video for social media in a 9:16 ratio with ease. My favorite feature was watching her resize the video for various social media platforms, as all it took was a tap, and it automatically added the blur to the side of the content to make it fit the platform. This technique typically requires me to adjust several individual settings on the desktop. Also: Adobe just gave the PDF its biggest glow-up in 30 years It was also extremely easy to export the content to social media platforms, maximizing the on-the-go appeal of the app. As with the Photoshop experience, it appears that the Premiere app for iPhone was designed to be easier to use than the often intimidating desktop app, which is a win for creators of all experience levels, especially beginners. How to access The free Adobe Premiere app is available on the Apple App Store for iPhone. The experience is also ad-free, ensuring you have as few distractions as possible, even though you aren't paying. If you choose to use the generative AI tools, you will be subject to using generative credits. Adobe said that it is developing the app for Android. Also: Adobe Firefly can now generate AI sound effects for videos - and I'm seriously impressed Adobe launched its Photoshop app for mobile earlier this year. That app was well-executed and designed to be as intuitive as possible. If the Premiere app follows suit, it will be helpful for creators who are familiar with the Premiere Pro app on desktop, or those trying it out for the first time.
