Adobe Premiere mobile review

Adobe Premiere mobile is Adobe's current phone editor, and it ranks second because the free version is unusually complete. The App Store listing promises a video editor without ads or watermarks, a multi-track timeline with unlimited tracks, frame-accurate trims, keyframes, speed effects, Lightroom color presets, auto captions and free 4K export. Adobe states that everything you need to edit is free and that you only pay when you need Firefly generative AI credits, which are sold in the Premiere Mobile subscription at $7.99 per month or $69.99 per year in the US store. Those credits power text to image and video generation, background expansion and generated sound effects. The app also bundles free Adobe Fonts, royalty-free music and YouTube Shorts templates. Compared with CapCut it has fewer trend effects and templates, and the iPhone version needs iOS 18 or later, so older phones are left out.
