Adobe's Premiere Video Editor is Coming To iPhone For Free (theverge.com) 22
An anonymous reader shares a report: Adobe is bringing its video editor Premiere to iPhone, promising "pro-level" editing on the go for free. The app will launch later this month, with an Android version also under development.
The Premiere app features a familiar multi-track timeline, with support for an unlimited number of video, audio, and text layers. There's automatic captioning, 4K HDR support, and one-tap exporting to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram -- including automatic resizing that frames content for each platform.
The iOS version of Premiere will be free to download and use, though Adobe says there will be charges for additional cloud storage and generative AI credits. Speaking of, it includes support for Adobe's generative sound effects and AI-powered speech enhancement, plus a wider range of AI assets generated through Adobe Firefly. If you'd rather not use AI content, there's a selection of Adobe fonts, along with images, sounds, music, and video assets that are free to use.

I have a personal Android phone and a work iPhone. The work iPhone has failed at doing its OS update two or three times in a row, then today when I needed to actually use my phone to call people for work it as saying I haaaaad to update iOS and RIGHT AWAY. While it was not a big hardship to click emergency and then cancel (with only a slight pucker factor for "I sure hope this prick doesn't dial 911 when I press emergency") and then dial

It's the razor blade model. The handle is free, oops I forgot what century we are in, I mean the handle is cheap and they make money on the over priced blades.
A little different. Razor blades didn't include the option of learning from every use. Adobe is just as obsessed as every other company right now with aggregating your data into their cloud so they can train their AI features on it. That's the only reason they're offering this for free to any users. Of course, if the users make heavy use of it and use much cloud storage, they'll be able to charge them for their storage, while still using their data for training their AIs. The more data you give them, the mo

"Adobe says there will be charges for additional cloud storage and generative AI credits."
Is that the whole of their economic model? Is this designed to be a "teaser to get you addicted so you pay for paid content or tolerate ads"?
Importantly, does their economic model rely on me giving them rights to my data that I'd rather keep for myself or that I might not have the legal right to give them?
How does that saying go, "if you aren't paying for it, you are the product, but the reverse is not always true."

Not everyone is making a feature film. Some folks just want to edit shorts on the go without a laptop. They use a PC for long videos and now have the option to use the same software on both platforms which eases a small amount of cognitive switching trauma. There are other iphone options to do this, but they don't give your data to adobe's AI so this product was necessary for them.
