Adobe has launched its Premiere mobile app for Android, more than a year after debuting it on iOS. The free app offers core editing tools like trimming, speed adjustment, text and audio layers, plus unlimited watermark-free 4K exports, while generative AI features such as sound effects and Firefly assets require purchased credits.
United Launch Alliance remains one of the few major US rocket companies still focused almost entirely on launch services rather than branching into satellites, spacecraft, or other space businesses. Competitors like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Firefly Aerospace have all expanded beyond launch to capture higher-margin revenue streams, leaving ULA increasingly isolated in a low-margin segment of the industry. This has renewed speculation about whether ULA's parent companies, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, will eventually sell the venture.
Adobe has integrated a new Generative Media tool directly into Premiere Pro's timeline, letting editors fill gaps in video or audio tracks with AI-generated clips without leaving their project or switching apps. The tool supports multiple AI models, including Adobe Firefly, Google Veo, Runway, Luma, and Kling. Premiere is also gaining beta AI audio features for separating speakers and balancing dialogue with music, while After Effects is getting a plain-language AI Assistant for project organization and effects creation.
Adobe has launched a new Slack integration bringing over 70 tools from apps including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Acrobat, InDesign and Firefly directly into the messaging platform.

An Adobe account is not required, though logging in unlocks fuller access to the tools.
Adobe announced that Slack users can now invoke apps like Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat and Illustrator directly through Slack's AI assistant, Slackbot, which interprets requests and calls the right Adobe tool while factoring in conversation context.

Adobe's latest Photoshop update introduces a non-destructive Light Adjustment Layer offering exposure, contrast, highlight and shadow controls similar to Lightroom, enabling raw-quality edits without leaving the app. It also adds AI features powered by Firefly Image 5, including Instruct Edit with Masks for prompt-based edits within masked areas, and Markup, which lets users sketch directly on images to guide AI-generated changes. A new beta AI Assisted Editor bundles these tools with a natural-language prompt bar.
