Adobe has just announced a new mobile phone version of its Premier Pro video editing software. Given that Premiere Pro is one of the industry’s most respected editing tools, I had to try it out – and it’s available now on the Apple App Store. There’s an Android version “coming soon” but Adobe hasn’t revealed just when as of yet.
Made-for-mobile interface
Working with the vertical nature of mobile phones, I’d say that Premier mobile is ideally suited to short-form video editing, however, you can also edit widescreen 16:9 footage. Fire it up and you’re greeted with a Home Screen with direct buttons for various task. This includes starting a blank project to generating images, converting images to video, extracting audio and more.
The editing interface is clean, straight-forward and quite simple. It includes a multi-track timeline and row of buttons for Videos and Images, Music and Audio and Titles and Captions. The source window scales to full screen playback as well.
You can import images from your photo library, Adobe Stock, files or record voice-overs right from the app.
What I really like is that you can access Adobe’s powerful Firefly generative AI for tasks like creating a video from an image. I turned a static image of a person’s face into a short video of that person smiling and it took hardly any time at all.
Once assembled to your timeline you can clean up audio, such as removing background noise, add a soundtracks, etc.
AI-generated captions are easy to add too, and you can stylise text using templates or custom settings.
Once your video is edited, you can choose your export settings including resolution, quality and frame rate, or set your project to open in the desktop version of Premiere Pro.
Google Shorts partnership
Adobe is also adding a new Create for YouTube Shorts space within Premiere mobile. By tapping “Edit in Adobe Premiere” directly from a YouTube Short, creators will open a dedicated workspace designed specifically for short-form content. The aim is to make high-quality Shorts faster to produce and easier to upload.
Key features include:
- Access to exclusive effects, transitions and title presets so clips stand out
- Ready-to-use templates for polished, professional content
- The ability to customise and share templates, helping new trends emerge
- One-tap publishing back to YouTube Shorts
Creators also keep the full functionality of Premiere mobile, including pro-level editing tools, studio-quality audio with Generative Sound Effects and Firefly-powered AI features for generating unique assets.
The YouTube Shorts creation space in Premiere mobile is coming soon.
The verdict
All in all, I found Premiere Pro very easy to learn and it has some helpful features built-it. I expect that more generative AI features will be added in future builds. And while there isn’t as many tools, customisations or effects as CapCut, I expect that many will appreciate Adobe’s corporate-friendly content controls.
