Adobe has expanded its flagship video editing software to Mobile, and has announced that the premier will soon be available on IPHONE. Listed in the App Store on the release date September 30th, the app promises professional grade editing tools in mobile-first design and is free to download. The Android version is also under development.
Unlike the lightweight premier rash that Adobe previously offered to mobile creators, the new premier app brings a full suite of editing tools that are closer to desktop counterparts. Users get a multitrack timeline with support for unlimited video, audio, text layers, 4K HDR editing, and one-tap export options for Tiktok, Instagram and YouTube shorts. The app also includes auto-resizing, stylized subtitles and automatic captions for various social media platforms.
Adobe integrates Firefly-powered AI features directly into your app. This includes generative sound effects, AI-driven audio enhancements to reduce background noise, and the ability to generate images, videos, and audio using text prompts. Additionally, the app provides access to Adobe's stock library of music, photos, photos and video assets, along with fonts and Lightroom presets.
iPhone Premier is free to use without watermarking for export. However, users will need to pay for additional cloud storage and AI credits if they want to take advantage of more advanced features.
According to Adobe, the goal is to provide creators with a simplified interface optimized for smartphones to control experts at the same level as they use for commercials, music videos and films. The move comes amid the growing competition for mobile video editing on a rapidly growing captioning platform targeting rivals such as Meta's editing apps and short story creators.
Adobe is steadily pushing more creative tools to mobile devices. Earlier this year, the company launched Photoshop for iOS, rolled out a beta version of Android, and also released a standalone firefly app on both platforms. With Premier joining the lineup, Adobe is putting a big bet on making high-end creative tools more accessible to millions of creators, who work primarily on mobile phones.
