You Can Edit Videos on Your iPhone for Free With Adobe’s New Premiere App

The only thing you might need to pay for to use Adobe’s new app are AI credits and cloud storage.

Adobe’s flagship video-editing program has been redesigned for mobile and is now available. You can edit videos on your iPhone using the new Premiere app, free to download and use now in the Apple App Store, with an Android version in development.

The iOS app should feel familiar to Premiere users, with its multitrack timeline and preview screen. The app can be used for all your usual video editing: trimming clips, overlaying audio and adding synchronized captions. You can also use Adobe’s new voice-to-sound effects tool and record voiceovers.

Premiere should be a big upgrade for Adobe users who have only used Premiere Rush, the company’s previous mobile video editing app. The launch of the official Premiere iOS app marks the end of Premiere Rush’s availability on Adobe’s website and in mobile app stores, according to Adobe. Current Premiere Rush users will be able to use the app until it’s sunset on Sept. 30, 2026, a year from now.

You should be able to use the Premiere iOS app for free. Adobe says you may need to pay for generative AI credits and additional storage, like through Adobe Creative Cloud. This is very different from the desktop app, which starts at $23 per month and is a definitive win for content creators who may want to explore editing in Premiere without paying for another subscription.

In an era of mobile-first content creators, tech companies have raced to introduce user-friendly mobile editing apps. TikTok creators use the ever-popular CapCut, with Meta adding its own contribution, a new app called Edits. Adobe has long been the industry standard for professional content creation and editing, but its mobile offerings were usually less feature-packed versions of its flagship programs under different names.

That changed this year as Adobe released true mobile versions of Photoshop and Firefly AI. The new Premiere app helps Adobe make a competitive entrance in a crowded market, in addition to giving loyal Adobe users a new way to access their tools on the go.

Adobe has also been focused on integrating generative AI into its software. Premiere Pro got its first-ever AI tool, generative extend, which uses AI to add a few extra seconds to clips you upload. It’s meant to help smooth transitions between clips, particularly when you might have turned off the recording a smidge too early and need a few extra seconds of film.

AI is a contentious issue among creators, with some voicing concerns over the training and deployment of AI models. Adobe’s Firefly AI has been fully integrated into the new Premiere iOS app, though the company’s AI guidelines state that it never trains on customer data and that its AI-generated content is commercially safe.

DoorDash’s Dot Bot Will Deliver Your Food, and It Won’t Just Cruise Down Sidewalks

The autonomous delivery robot will switch between sidewalks, bike paths and roadways.

A new robot will soon join the autonomous delivery fleet operating in certain neighborhoods. Dot is a bright red bot that is one-tenth the size of a car.

Unlike existing delivery bots, DoorDash’s Dot won’t always take up sidewalk space. Sometimes, it’ll be zooming right next to your car.

DoorDash says its Dot robot is purpose-built for local delivery, and can switch between sidewalks, bike lanes and roads as needed. The robot carries the same load as any other sidewalk delivery vehicle in the fleet, but it travels at up to 20 mph.

The first Dot robot is live now as DoorDash tests it in Phoenix. The early program allows residents to give feedback on the bot’s performance as DoorDash prepares to release the Dot into other markets.

Even if you’re in an area where DoorDash operates robotic deliveries, you won’t necessarily be assigned a bot delivery. DoorDash uses an AI dispatcher to assign your orders to human drivers, drones, robots or bots, based on speed, cost and order size.

Reservations, restaurant videos are new

DoorDash paired its delivery-bot announcement with numerous app updates.

Among them, users can book restaurant reservations from the DoorDash app with the Going Out feature.

DoorDash will also feature creator videos showcasing new local restaurants, part of a new partnership with Yelp.

AI-powered recommendations built on your existing order history are now offered to San Francisco and Manhattan customers.

And when you order using the app, the new Complement Your Cart feature suggests relevant add-ons that pair well with the items in your cart.
