What is Adobe Premiere Rush? 

 

‘(Pocket-lint) - Adobe offers severals apps, including cloud-based desktop tools and more mobile-friendly solutions, and its latest is Premiere Rush CC.Available right now, Premiere Rush is a desktop and mobile app "designed specifically for online video creators," with export options optimised for everything from YouTube to Snapchat. It's essentially an all-in-one video editing program with motion graphics and audio mixing capabilities. It has some of the oomph found in Premiere Pro, AfterEffects, and Audition, but it primarily offers easy, one-click feature adjustments.

It’s powered by Adobe Sensei, an artificial intelligence framework that’s built into the Creative Cloud platform, and is compatible with Premiere Pro. You're also able to move across devices (mobile or desktop) with Premiere Rush CC.

Here's what else you need to know about it.

You'll have access to the same editing capabilities across your iOS and desktop devices, too. Anyway, once you've got your video clips ready to go in the Premiere Rush CC app, you can then edit and refine by cutting out clips, splitting cups, trimming clips, and shuffling scenes.

You can also add transitions, as well as text overlays. You can even customise the font, font style, font size, and colour. You can further add animated motion graphics, with the ability to move, scale, and rotate title and graphic templates directly on the Preview monitor.
