YouTube takes another step in the fight for short-form video creators – and with a truly powerful partner. Adobe launches a brand new space in Premiere mobile on iOS called Create for YouTube Shorts, designed exclusively for short films on YouTube. This is not just a regular update – it is a fully-fledged creative hub that creators can always have in their pocket.
Exclusive templates, effects and transitions – straight from the Shorts feed
The new section in Premiere mobile provides access to a set of ready-made templates from top creators, enhanced with:
built-in subtitles,
transition and effect presets,
visual elements tailored to the Shorts algorithm.
However, the most interesting aspect is that the creator can watch Shorts in the YouTube app, click on the template that inspired them, and immediately open it in Premiere mobile. No copying, searching for presets, juggling applications – full integration. YouTube clearly signals: it wants creators to use Adobe tools instead of CapCut or Meta Edits.
Editing on your phone as in full Premiere
Premiere mobile adds a set of features that until recently were associated only with desktop software:
multi-track editing,
AI for enhancing and generating sound effects,
Firefly AI tools for content generation,
advanced colour correction,
automatic subtitles and text overlays.
The creator takes an iPhone, edits and… publishes. Without intermediaries.
Publishing Shorts straight from Premiere mobile
After completing the editing, the app guides the creator step by step to export, and the film can be sent directly to YouTube – straight from Premiere. The requirements are just:
a free Adobe Premiere mobile account,
a YouTube profile.
Adobe emphasises that they are keen on lowering the entry barrier to creating professional content. Creators – both those with millions of subs and those who are just starting – now receive a ready-made ecosystem that:
speeds up editing,
improves audio-video quality,
helps to create content in line with Shorts trends.
And most importantly: everything works on the phone.
YouTube strengthens its position in the world of short videos, Adobe gains huge exposure, and creators receive a tool that could become the new standard for mobile editing. The integration looks impressive and could seriously shake things up in the world of video editing applications.
