Adobe Adds Adobe Adds YouTube Shorts Creation to Premiere Mobile

Adobe has added a new YouTube Shorts creation space inside its Premiere mobile app, giving iPhone and iPad users a direct route to edit and publish short-form vertical video.

It's been a busy week for Adobe. There's been the integration of Photoshop and more into ChatGPT, it has just published news of a record quarter with an impressive $6.19 billion revenue, and now it's overhauling Premiere Mobile to help produce YouTube Shorts quicker than ever.

The latest update to the software is part of a wider partnership with YouTube, and brings a focused workflow for Shorts into the same mobile timeline environment already used for standard video projects.

Seamless Integration 

The new content creation space sits as a top-level option within the Premiere Mobile interface. Selecting it opens a workspace tailored to vertical video, with access to templates, effects, transitions, text presets, and other reusable assets built specifically for Shorts. Users can also design their own templates and publish them for others to adapt.

Premiere Mobile already supports multi-track editing, trimming, colour and brightness adjustments, audio tools, and Firefly-powered features such as speech enhancement. The Shorts hub consolidates these tools into a streamlined pipeline that ends with direct upload to YouTube from inside the app.

The move pushes Adobe further into the mobile-first creator space, which is highly competitive and already has some well-established players in the market. However, that official partnership with YouTube Shorts is definitely going to help it land there with increased impact

The update is available now on iOS devices. Adobe says Android support is in development but has not given a launch date.
