Adobe Launches Premiere for iPhone and iPad

Adobe today launched Premiere for iPhone and iPad, bringing its flagship video editing software to mobile devices for the first time.

Adobe Premiere iOS Feature
According to Adobe, the new mobile Premiere app is designed to provide "pro-quality video editing." The mobile version features an unlimited multi-track timeline supporting video, audio, and text layers. It includes standard editing features such as trimming clips, overlaying audio, and synchronizing captions, as well as access to libraries of free creative assets.

Adobe has also built in a speech enhancement tool that removes background noise to isolate voices, as well as automatic captioning with stylized subtitles. The app supports 4K HDR export and allows direct one-tap publishing to platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Users can also generate sound effects and other creative assets using Adobe Firefly AI, the company's generative AI platform, which is fully integrated into the app.

In addition to editing on the device, projects created in the app can be transferred directly to Premiere Pro on desktop systems without conversion.

The app is positioned as a replacement for Premiere Rush, the company's previous lightweight mobile editor. Existing Rush users will retain access only on devices where it is already installed until the service is fully discontinued on September 30, 2026.

Unlike Premiere Pro on Mac and PC, which starts at $23 per month, the iPhone and ‌iPad‌ Premiere app can be used without a subscription. Optional features, including generative AI credits and additional cloud storage via Adobe Creative Cloud, are available for an additional fee.

Premiere on iPhone is available worldwide on the App Store today. Premiere on Android is in development.

It boggles my mind that iMovie for iOS/iPadOS still doesn’t support portrait-oriented videos.

I admire the effort made by these companies to put these apps on our phones, but is anyone doing serious editing on a mobile device? Perhaps I’m just going old.
I think CapCut has proven that there's a market for on device video editing. It's a different segment of the market though. I'm sure Adobe saw the rise of CapCut and wanted to figure out how they missed that market.

Adobe is exactly doing what Apple is doing: giant in the industry, getting late and slow to improve, now Adobe just copies capcut and prays people would use. They are years behind now

It boggles my mind that anyone would want to record video in portrait. Look at your TV, it's landscape. Same as my eyes.


On another note, I'm happy with Kino, thank you very much.

While I don't like portrait video too, social media (TikTok/Instagram Reels/YouTube shorts) is a HUGE market that can't be ignored by many.
