Adobe has partnered with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group to add licensed music clips to Premiere mobile, bringing music from two major record companies into the personal, non-commercial use. Creators working on projects that require commercially licensed music will still need to use Adobe Stock Audio.
Premiere mobile is Adobe’s mobile editing software has been a challenge in social video production, particularly for creators who want to build clips around well-known songs without moving between multiple apps. By placing music search and selection inside Premiere mobile, Adobe is trying to remove some of that friction for users creating personal content.
Adobe did not say how many tracks would be available at launch. It said the offering would include music from leading artists under the two music groups, with the features due to arrive in the app soon.
Bryan Stone, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Universal Music Group, described the partnership as a way to connect creation and music discovery in one workflow. “Music has always been a powerful way for people to express themselves and connect with others. By bringing licensed music from UMG artists into Adobe Premiere mobile, we’re giving creators new ways to build their stories around the songs they love for the first time, while helping our artists and songwriters reach new audiences,” Stone said.
Warner Music Group made a similar point, saying music consumption now extends beyond streaming and download services. “The way people experience and engage with music extends far beyond traditional listening platforms,” said Rachel Scarpati, Vice President of Digital Strategy and Business Development at WMG. “Our partnership with Adobe Premiere mobile integrates WMG’s catalog directly into the creative process, opening up new possibilities for creative expression and deeper fan engagement.”
The addition of licensed music to Premiere mobile marks a further push by software companies to tie editing, audio selection and social publishing more closely together. In this case, Adobe is linking a free mobile app with catalogues from two of the largest music groups, while limiting the included licences to personal, non-commercial use.
