Adobe partnered with YouTube to bring a new YouTube Shorts space to the Premiere mobile app on iPhone and iPad. This experience helps creators edit and share videos directly from their phone using exclusive templates, transitions, and effects.
“Averaging over 200 billion views every day, YouTube Shorts has become a major global stage for you to share short-form video,” Adobe’s Mike Polner writes. “But you also tell us you need fast, easy and powerful tools to make amazing videos that will help you stand out and grow your audience. That’s why we’re excited to partner with YouTube and bring together Adobe Premiere’s industry-leading video editing tools with the massive reach of YouTube Shorts to accelerate content creation for all creators and make producing and sharing your Shorts easier and faster.”
Adobe launched Premiere on iPhone and iPad back in September, and it’s a surprisingly strong offering for a free app that’s optimized for portrait-mode videos but can be used for just about any video project. It also integrates with the desktop versions of Premiere if you need the additional capabilities offered there.
The new YouTube Shorts functionality is up front and center in the app after the latest update, with a “Create for YouTube Shorts” top-level button and a new “Make it yours for YouTube” set of templates. The YouTube Shorts content creation space offers exclusive effects, transitions, and title presets, the ability to create, reuse, and share your own custom templates, and a way to share finished videos directly to YouTube.
The Premiere mobile editor is a traditional timeline-based editing experience with unlimited, multiple tracks, an Enhance Speech feature for voiceover and dialogue work, AI-based sound effects with Generate Sound Effects, and Firefly-powered AI asset generation capabilities.
You can learn more about the YouTube Shorts space in Premiere mobile on the Adobe website. And you can download Adobe Premiere for iPhone and iPad for free from the Apple App Store.
