Adobe Premiere Pro Arrives on iPhone, Bringing Professional Video Editing to Mobile

Adobe's Premiere, the popular video editing software, is now available for iPhone as of today. This follows the company's announcement earlier this month about bringing the app to mobile devices. An Android version is currently in development.

The free Premiere mobile app includes robust editing features such as a multi-track timeline for handling video, audio, music, and text. It supports 4K HDR editing, offers auto-generated captions, and provides tools for adjusting color, shadows, and other elements frame by frame—all optimized for a mobile interface.

Clips recorded on mobile often contain background noise. This app simplifies cleanup with a slider control to reduce noise and enhance dialogue clarity.

Adobe has integrated several AI-powered capabilities. Users can generate background audio from text prompts. For a more hands-on approach, you can hum or sing a melody, and the AI will transform it into a usable sound effect.

Leveraging its Firefly models, the app lets users create images, stickers, and even turn still images into videos for transitions. While the core app is free, accessing these AI features requires purchasing credits.

Adobe is also providing complimentary access to its stock library, which includes photos, video clips, and sound effects for use in projects.

This new mobile app enables creators to begin editing projects on their phone and seamlessly transfer them to the desktop version via Adobe Cloud. Currently, transferring projects from desktop to mobile is not supported.

"Our goal is to empower all creators to do their work. We recognize that the next generation prefers to edit on mobile devices. Introducing this mobile app is essential for meeting them where they are," said Mike Folgner, a product director at Adobe, in a call with TechCrunch.

Premiere mobile joins Adobe's expanding suite of mobile applications, which already includes Photoshop for iOS and Android, as well as Firefly for mobile.

With this launch, Adobe directly competes with tools like ByteDance's CapCut, Meta's Edits, the a16z-backed Captions, and India's InVideo.
