Adobe Premiere app for iOS and iPadOS released, it's free to use except for AI features
Adobe has released the Adobe Premiere app for iPhone and iPad. You can use the video editor for free, with a couple of exceptions.
Adobe has a basic video tutorial that teaches you how to use the Premiere app, you can watch within the app, or from your web browser. Here's another tutorial about creating a video with a cinematic look.
You can use the app without signing in, but most of the features require you to sign in to your Adobe account. Premiere's UI is fairly simple to use. You can add new videos from your photo library or from files, or start a project from scratch. Once you have imported your video, you can start editing it. You can add soundtracks, which are royalty-free, directly from Adobe's cloud, or use your own music, or record a voiceover, add sound effects. The app also allows you to extract audio from videos, or add closed captions to your video. When you are done editing your video, you can export it and share it on social networks.
So, is it free for real? The app's description says it is "Free to download and use", it also says "Everything you need to create great videos is available for free. Only pay when you need Firefly generative AI credits." Adobe Premiere has some AI features powered by Firefly, which you can use to generate images, stickers, convert images to videos, expand image, generate sound effects, etc. These require AI credits. What the app's listing doesn't mention is that free users only get 2GB of free storage, so that's also a paywall.
The Adobe Premiere Mobile Monthly plan costs $7.99, while the Premiere Mobile Yearly subscription costs $69.99. Download Adobe Premiere for iPhone and iPad from the App Store. An Android version of Adobe Premiere is in the works. A few months ago, Adobe released Photoshop for Android.
If you have an iPad, take a look at Davinci Resolve, it's a professional video editing suite that is free to use with an optional one-time in-app purchase to unlock more features.
Interesting, but I don’t see that here: https://www.adobe.com/legal/terms-linkfree.html
Section 4.3 says, “We don’t train generative AI models on your or your customers’ content unless you’ve submitted the content to the Adobe Stock marketplace”
But you remember this news? I think it was last year and I still remember backlash. People could not continue to use Photoshop without allowing Adobe using their art for free. And there was no option to opt out.
You’re referring to this, right? https://community.adobe.com/t5/account-payment-plan-discussions/deeply-concerned-over-new-terms-of-service-agreement/td-p/14665668
That was bad, yes. I mean, AI and privacy don’t really make a good mix. :)
This why I consider Adobe a scam company, as opposite to other big tech companies like Microsoft and Google. One thing is to steal somebody’s work you do not know or be ethically unscrupulous. Another is to steal the work of your customers who pay you money and then go ahead and compete with them. I think Etsy is doing exactly the same thing.
Most people hate Adobe ever since they debuted Creation Cloud. With AI stuff it only got worse, artists were upset that their creations are being used to train their models. But who can do anything about it? The government backs AI, it’s the future, we need more! Sad, but true.
Government is afraid that we will lose AI competition to China. That’s why they are so gang ho on it. Losing an AI battle, even in my eyes, is like losing a real war. In effect, it’s just like a real war where winning will not give us the result we desire, but losing is like death.
Did Adobe reverse its policy that everything uploaded to its servers becomes Adobe’s property and can be legally used by its AI?
