Adobe partners with YouTube to let users edit Shorts in Premiere for iOS

Adobe and YouTube have partnered to integrate Premiere's mobile editing suite directly with YouTube Shorts, to soon let iPhone users create, edit, and publish short-form videos from a single workflow

Adobe has teamed up with YouTube to release a new suite of tools via Adobe Premiere which will help YouTubers in editing Shorts. iPhone users will be able to make use of this as the Adobe Premiere mobile application has only been released for iPhones so far.

 

According to Adobe’s press release, the new “Create for YouTube Shorts” content creation space will be accessible from YouTube Shorts through a dedicated “Edit in Adobe Premiere” icon and will let creators move finished clips back to YouTube Shorts with a single tap. Adobe also said that the integration brings mobile multi-track editing, studio-quality audio tools and Firefly-powered AI content generation into the Shorts workflow.

 

According to the press release, creators can use the tools for short-form content such as vlogs, travel clips, and behind-the-scenes videos, and to create templates that may drive trends on YouTube Shorts.
