Adobe’s Premiere mobile app adds ‘hundreds of thousands’ of licensed tracks following Universal and Warner deals
Adobe has added hundreds of thousands of tracks from Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group to its Premiere mobile video editing app, giving creators a way to use music from those catalogues in their videos. The launch matters because it brings licensed songs directly into the editing process, though use is limited to personal, non-commercial projects.
The tracks are currently available on iPhone, with Android availability planned, and Adobe previously said users could add up to 60 seconds of a song. Users can browse trending tracks, featured artists and song-linked templates; finished videos can be shared on licensed platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Adobe says commercial projects can use its Stock Audio service, and its announcements do not name Sony Music Entertainment as a partner.
In short
- Premiere mobile adds music from Universal and Warner.
- Tracks are for personal, non-commercial videos.
- iPhone access is available; Android is planned.
Explained simply
Adobe’s Premiere mobile app lets people edit video on their phones. Adobe is a software company, while Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group are major music companies that own or represent large song catalogues.
Adding licensed tracks gives creators a way to include music from those catalogues in personal videos, subject to limits on how much of a song can be used and where a finished video can be shared. The feature is for non-commercial projects; Adobe directs people making commercial work to its separate Stock Audio service.
