Adobe Just dropped a surprise that’s turning heads: a brand-new, totally free video editing app for iPhones called Premiere for iPhone.
And if you were mourning the death of Adobe Rush, think of this as its cooler, faster, way-more-talented cousin.
So, what makes this app different from every other editor on your phone?
Imagine Rush on steroids, with some of the best tricks borrowed straight from the desktop version of Premiere Pro.
We’re talking tools like Enhance Speech (cleans up your audio in one tap) plus a fresh, portrait-first layout where the top half of your screen is the viewer, and the bottom is your timeline. You can even resize the sections—making editing on the go feel surprisingly smooth.
The best part? The editing tools are quick and familiar: trim, cut, adjust—nothing intimidating here. But where it really shines is with AI.
Expand Image: fills your frame without awkward zooming
Generative Sound Effects: allows you type—or even hum—the vibe you want, and boom, the app whips up custom sound for you. (Yes, the demo had jaws on the floor.)
What’s wild is how advanced and slick feels. It comes with other features like:
Frame-accurate editing
Multi-layer timelines that shift intelligently.
Support for 4K HDR editing
Auto-generated captions
And the ability to adjust factors like color and shadows for different frames.
Price tag? Still free—unless you need extra cloud storage or AI credits.
Now, here’s the catch: there are still a few unanswered questions.
Will it run on iPad?
Does it handle landscape editing?
How many layers can you stack before things get messy?
And when you send a project to desktop Premiere, is it as simple as AirDrop—or are we stuck with cloud uploads?
Either way, Adobe just turned the iPhone into a pocket movie studio—and it’s hard not to be impressed.
For now, you can try it yourself for free on the App Store. And if you want the deep-dive review with some more answers, make sure to check it out [here]—trust me, it helps more than you know.
