Video creators now have a powerful new tool in their pocket, as Adobe Premiere Pro officially launches for iPhone users. This mobile version brings professional-grade editing capabilities directly to iOS devices, with an Android release currently in the works according to Adobe.
The application is available free of charge and includes a surprisingly robust feature set. Editors can work with a multi-track timeline that handles video clips, audio files, music tracks, and text layers simultaneously. It supports high-resolution 4K HDR editing, offers auto-generated captions, and provides frame-by-frame controls for color correction and shadow adjustment, all optimized for the smaller screen.
For videos recorded on smartphones, which often suffer from ambient noise, the app includes a straightforward slider to reduce background sounds while boosting dialogue clarity.
Several AI-powered tools enhance the creative process. Users can generate custom background audio simply by typing a description. There’s even an option to hum or sing a tune, which the AI then converts into a usable sound effect.
Leveraging Adobe’s Firefly technology, the app also allows for generating images and stickers from text, as well as turning still photos into short video transitions. While the core app is free, accessing these generative AI features requires purchasing separate credits.
Adobe provides complimentary access to its stock media library, offering a collection of royalty-free photos, video clips, and sound effects to incorporate into projects.
A key workflow benefit is the ability to start editing on an iPhone and seamlessly move the project to a desktop via Adobe Cloud. This cross-platform continuity supports creative flexibility, though transferring from desktop back to mobile is not yet supported.
Mike Folgner, a product director at Adobe, emphasized the company’s goal to empower creators by meeting them on their preferred devices. He noted that many emerging creators primarily edit on mobile, making this launch a strategic move to serve that growing audience.
Premiere Pro for mobile now stands alongside other Adobe mobile applications like Photoshop and Firefly. This expansion positions Adobe as a direct competitor in the mobile editing space, challenging established apps like CapCut, Meta’s Edits, Captions, and InVideo.
