Become the next internet sensation by making short videos using the Adobe Premiere Rush mobile app

If you’ve logged onto TikTok, Instagram or Twitter recently, you’ve probably watched numerous short, funny videos and shared them with friends. Short videos are everywhere. It’s easy to create your own TikTok-style short videos on your smartphone with Adobe Premiere Rush. Pull out your phone and comedic style, and prepare to make your friends laugh after you make your own short videos by following these simple steps.

  1. Create a new project. In the Adobe Premiere Rush app, create a new project by selecting the Plus button at the bottom of the screen.


  2. Add videos or take videos. If you don’t have your video clips ready to piece together, you can record them directly from the app by selecting Take Video or Photo. In the Take Video or Photo mode, you can use the Auto settings like a regular phone camera, or you can select Pro and change the exposure, white balance and more. This mode is good if you want to have more control over your video.

    Be sure to name your project once you select the videos or photos you want to include. Ensure the Sync with CC box is checked to enable editing on each of your devices.
