Adobe Premiere

Adobe Premiere, formerly Premiere Pro, is Adobe's timeline video editing app for film, broadcast and social work, on desktop and iPhone.

Adobe Premiere is video editing software for cutting footage, sound, graphics and titles into a finished film. It is Adobe's professional editor, and it was called Adobe Premiere Pro before the name was shortened to cover a family of apps spanning desktop and mobile. Those apps share a project, so an edit begun on an iPhone is opened again on the desktop. The desktop application is bought by subscription. The iPhone app is a companion edition of the same product, at no cost and without an account of its own, rather than a second product. Work is assembled on a timeline, where picture, sound, graphics and captions live in one project. Colour is handled with professional wheels and curve controls beside built-in scopes, grades are saved and reloaded as Look Up Tables, and AI assisted balancing offers a starting point. Object Mask isolates and follows a subject after a single click, and redesigned shape masks track motion across frames. Keying tools swap out a background shot against a greenscreen. Speech becomes an editable transcript that distinguishes between speakers, and captions are then matched to the cadence of the dialogue. The work this fits is post production judged frame by frame: film and broadcast cutting, documentary crews, branded content studios, agencies and in-house video teams. Team Projects puts several editors in one project at the same time, which matters to a post house or a marketing department with more than one person on a cut. Social editors arrive by another route, because the iPhone app takes a rough assembly made on location and hands it on. Verified students and teachers pay an education rate. Buying is per user or per licence, either as the single application or bundled into Creative Cloud Pro. Around the timeline sits the rest of Creative Cloud. Stills and artwork from Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator come into a sequence as graphics and titles, generative features draw on Adobe Firefly credits, and footage and music are licensed through Adobe Stock, which is sold on its own terms. A finished cut publishes to social platforms from inside Premiere. Typical work runs from a documentary or a campaign film to a greenscreen composite, a graded sequence, a captioned interview, and a phone-shot assembly carried through to a desktop timeline.
