Adobe is bringing its Premiere Pro video editing software to the iPhone. The app is now available for pre-order in the App Store. Pre-order users will have the app automatically downloaded to their device on the day of release. Adobe plans to release it at the end of September. An Android version is to follow, but Adobe has not specified a time frame for this.
Free basic functions
According to the very brief information provided by Adobe, the mobile app is basically free to use and ad-free. No Adobe account or log-in is required to edit, save projects locally or export videos.
Premiere Pro offers a multi-track timeline on the iPhone, just like in the desktop application. The app supports 4K HDR material and, according to the manufacturer, an unlimited number of video, audio and text layers. In practical terms, the mobile hardware and limited screen space are likely to limit overly ambitious projects.
Finished videos can be exported to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram. The automatic cropping known from the parent application always keeps the actors in the picture, for example, when changing the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 9:16.

Cross-platform projects
Video creators should start projects on their smartphone and then continue them on their desktop. Adobe's Frame.io sharing platform is ideal for this. To send projects from the mobile app to the desktop version of Premiere Pro, users must log in with an Adobe account that includes a Premiere Pro subscription and cloud storage.
Additional content and artificial intelligence
After signing in with an Adobe ID, users get access to creative assets such as images, stickers, music, video clips and sound effects. The "Enhance Speech" tool is designed to turn recordings in noisy environments into studio-quality audio tracks. The app also generates automatic subtitles on request.
You can create your own content using the generative AI Firefly. Generative AI functions require the purchase and use of paid Firefly Credits.
