Adobe Premiere finally brings powerful video editing to Android, and it’s free

Adobe Premiere 终于为 Android 带来了强大的视频编辑功能，而且是免费的

Video editing has never been Android’s strong suit. While Apple has long offered iMovie for iPhone and iPad, Google has never had a comparable offering. Adobe is now stepping up to fill this feature gap with a proper version of Premiere. The app is now available in the Play Store for almost all Android devices, and it’s free (mostly).

视频编辑一直以来都不是 Android 的强项。虽然苹果长期以来为 iPhone 和 iPad 提供了 iMovie，但谷歌却从未有过类似的产品。现在，Adobe 正通过推出正式版的 Premiere 来填补这一功能空白。该应用现已在 Play 商店上架，适用于几乎所有 Android 设备，并且（基本）是免费的。

Android’s version of Premiere doesn’t offer all the features you’d get in the desktop application, but it’s a big step up from the soon-to-be-retired Premiere Rush app. You can import as many video tracks as you want, trim them, split them, add effects, and export videos in up to 4K resolution. It can even extract audio from clips, reduce background noise, and add voiceovers.

Android 版 Premiere 虽然没有提供桌面版应用的所有功能，但相比即将退役的 Premiere Rush 应用，它有了巨大的提升。你可以导入任意数量的视频轨道，进行剪辑、分割、添加特效，并导出最高 4K 分辨率的视频。它甚至可以从剪辑中提取音频、降低背景噪音并添加配音。

The app emphasizes the YouTube Short format, even defaulting your video outputs to portrait 16:9, but you can change that to something more traditional. On a standard smartphone, the app splits the screen with the timeline at the bottom and preview up top. Adobe says that Premiere is optimized for multiple form factors. If you have a foldable phone, the UI adjusts to give you more breathing room, placing the timeline to the right of the video. That makes sense as the default, as Premiere wants you to make YouTube Shorts, but if you’re working with something wider, there’s a layout toggle that puts the widescreen video above the expanded timeline. The split is also adjustable if you want to make your video or timeline larger.

该应用强调 YouTube Short 格式，甚至默认将视频输出设置为竖屏 16:9，但你也可以将其更改为更传统的比例。在标准智能手机上，应用采用分屏设计，底部为时间轴，顶部为预览窗口。Adobe 表示，Premiere 针对多种设备形态进行了优化。如果你使用的是折叠屏手机，界面会自动调整以提供更多空间，将时间轴放置在视频右侧。作为默认设置，这很合理，因为 Premiere 希望你制作 YouTube Shorts；但如果你处理的是更宽的视频，可以通过布局切换按钮将宽屏视频置于扩展的时间轴上方。如果你想让视频或时间轴显示得更大，分屏比例也是可以调整的。

I tested Premiere by importing multiple high-bitrate 4K clips, and it didn’t choke. However, processing newly added video tracks can take a minute. Exporting is also not instant, but it’s faster than I expected on a Pixel, which isn’t exactly known for extreme performance. A three-minute 4K60 video in high-quality mode took about three minutes. The app is designed to work on any Android device with at least 5GB of RAM.

我通过导入多个高码率 4K 剪辑测试了 Premiere，它运行流畅，没有卡顿。不过，处理新添加的视频轨道可能需要一点时间。导出过程也不是瞬间完成的，但在 Pixel 手机上的速度比我预期的要快（Pixel 手机向来不以极致性能著称）。一段三分钟的 4K60 高质量视频导出大约耗时三分钟。该应用设计为可在任何拥有至少 5GB 内存的 Android 设备上运行。

There are a good number of options in the editing interface—unless you’re a pro or enthusiast video editor, this app should be more than powerful enough. Adobe also says that Premiere (and the rest of its mobile app portfolio) is optimized for Googlebook laptops. If you need more, there’s always the full desktop version of Premiere. Of course, that won’t be an option on Googlebooks.

编辑界面提供了相当多的选项——除非你是专业人士或视频编辑发烧友，否则这款应用的功能已经绰绰有余。Adobe 还表示，Premiere（及其移动应用组合中的其他产品）已针对 Googlebook 笔记本电脑进行了优化。如果你需要更多功能，还可以选择完整的桌面版 Premiere。当然，这在 Googlebook 上是无法实现的。

Premiere for Android is free, and you don’t even need a subscription or Creative Cloud account unless you care about generative AI tools. The new Premiere app has image-to-video and text-to-video, with options for Adobe’s “commercial safe” Firefly model as well as Google Veo, Google Omni, Luma Ray, and Kling models. You can generate some clips for free in Premiere, which comes with 250 monthly AI credits. That’s enough for a few Veo Fast clips (80 credits each) or a single Firefly video. For $70 per year or $8 per month, you get 1,200 monthly AI credits in the Premiere mobile app. If that’s not your thing, you can just enjoy the free, vastly improved video editing experience on Android. Apple devices got this app last year, but “better late than never” has always been the Android app motto.

Android 版 Premiere 是免费的，你甚至不需要订阅或拥有 Creative Cloud 账户，除非你需要使用生成式 AI 工具。新的 Premiere 应用具备“图生视频”和“文生视频”功能，并提供了 Adobe “商业安全”的 Firefly 模型，以及 Google Veo、Google Omni、Luma Ray 和 Kling 模型选项。你可以在 Premiere 中免费生成一些剪辑，每月赠送 250 个 AI 点数。这足够制作几个 Veo Fast 剪辑（每个 80 点）或一个 Firefly 视频。支付每年 70 美元或每月 8 美元的费用，即可在 Premiere 移动应用中获得每月 1,200 个 AI 点数。如果你对这些不感兴趣，也可以尽情享受 Android 上免费且大幅改进的视频编辑体验。苹果设备去年就获得了这款应用，但“迟到总比不到好”一直是 Android 应用的座右铭。
