Adobe is bringing its flagship
As the demands on content creators keep rising, mobile apps are an increasingly popular way for creators to keep up. Some creators, particularly in India and Brazil, are adopting a mobile-only editing workflow, Diksha Kuhar, Adobe’s director of product marketing for Premiere, told me.
You can download the app for free from the Google Play Store. You don’t need an Adobe account or subscription, unless you want to use Adobe’s Firefly AI editing features or cloud storage, which may prompt you to sign up for a subscription.
The Android app was designed to work for aspiring creators and professionals. Beginners can scroll through the app’s library of templates and be guided through creating their own version. Popular tools such as enhance audio are available on the new mobile app, letting you clean up messy audio by enhancing speech and removing background noise. You can also directly publish your videos as YouTube Shorts from Premiere, like how you can directly publish Instagram Reels from Edits, thanks to a partnership between Adobe and YouTube.
In my experience using the Premiere iPhone app, I found it to be a relatively easy, quick way to edit videos. The auto-captioning is particularly useful. You can download videos free of watermarks, and there aren’t any ads clouding the app. (At least not for now. Never say never.) But don’t go in expecting the full bulk of the desktop app’s editing tools. If you need to do meticulous editing on longer videos, you’re probably still best off using Premiere on a laptop or desktop.
