Adobe Unveils Free Professional Video Editing App for iPhone with AI Features and Mobile Studio Power
September 30, 2025
Adobe has launched a new mobile app for professional-grade video editing on iPhone, designed to empower creators with a free, user-friendly tool packed with advanced features.
The app includes a multi-track timeline, studio-quality AI-enhanced audio, voice enhancement, and sound effects, making it a powerful tool for on-the-go content creation.
While the app is free and ad-free, certain features like additional storage and AI highlight functions will require optional payments.
A speech enhancement tool helps reduce background noise, addressing common challenges faced by creators in capturing clear audio.
Demo videos showcase users adding fun sound effects like monster purring and wind noises, highlighting the app’s creative potential.
The interface is optimized for portrait orientation, with a flexible layout featuring the Viewer at the top and Timeline at the bottom.
A mobile recording studio feature allows voiceover recording, noise reduction, and sound effect generation, with optional paid upgrades for cloud storage and Firefly credits.
The app supports editing for various content types, including client projects, streaming highlights, and podcasts, emphasizing its versatility.
The app’s design emphasizes ease of use with a multi-track timeline, precise clip trimming, and AI tools that enhance audio and visual quality.
Adobe assures user content will not be used to train AI models, and project transfer from mobile to desktop is supported for Pro subscribers.
Creators like YouTuber Cleo Abram praise the app as a 'production studio in your pocket,' thanks to its professional quality and mobile-centric design.
The app was developed with input from creators, including Emmy-nominated journalist Cleo Abram and artist Temi Coker, highlighting its professional features.
The editing experience resembles Apple’s Final Cut Pro X more than Premiere Pro, with frame-accurate editing and multi-layer clip management.
Optional Firefly AI tools, such as text-to-image and background removal, are available via subscription at $7.99/month or $69.99/year.
The app enables filming, editing, and sharing content directly from mobile devices, streamlining on-the-go content creation.
Adobe emphasizes the app’s performance responsiveness and ease of use, aiming to accelerate mobile content creation.
Key features include quick access to royalty-free music and seamless project synchronization with Adobe Premiere Pro on desktop.
The app is compatible with iOS 17 or later on iPhone and iPad, and also works on Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 1.0 or later.
It is available for pre-order on the App Store, with an official rollout starting September 4, 2025.
Projects started on mobile can be transferred to desktop via Adobe Cloud, though currently, projects cannot be sent from desktop to mobile.
