Introduction to Adobe Premiere Rush
Premiere Rush is designed as a
cross-platform, multiple device video editing software aimed at social media
content creators looking to process video clips quickly and upload them to
their favorite social network. It has both a desktop and a mobile application.
Premiere Rush is an outstanding option for a simplified video editing
experience. It's not as powerful a program as Premiere Pro, but it is more
intuitive and easier to learn for beginners.

offer in-app tutorials for you to be able to learn the different aspects of the
software, which are very helpful and a hands-on way to become familiar with
each program and its capabilities.
Editing Clips
Adding clips and positioning
clips is a simple drag-and-drop process. Creators can re-position clips,
images, and motion graphics to work for them. The ability to adjust color and
exposure of clips is super intuitive and very familiar. You can add tasteful
color-grading filters (LUTs) with a tap, or you can use sliders to adjust
exposure and color options.
Templates
Title screens and motion
graphics are built into the app, or you can use your own motion graphics
template. Premiere Pro templates work really well, too. You can edit text and
colors in the templates fairly easily. You don't need to install your templates
on your device if you don't want to. You can sync them to your Creative Cloud
library if that's more convenient. Unfortunately, motion graphics templates
authored in After Effects is not compatible.
Audio Editing
Audio editing is simple. Tap
to add your audio clip whether it's a music track or a voice-over just as you
would with any other nonlinear video editor. The beauty of Premiere Rush is due
to the AI used to help make your audio sound better. Auto ducking is handled
with just a tap where your music track automatically fades out when your video
has dialog in it and then fades back up as the dialog stops. Rush also has a
background noise removal tool, which is one slider, and you can adjust it on
the fly as your clip plays back.
Exporting
Rush allows you to export your
project locally to your device as well as auto-upload it to Facebook and
YouTube. Rush does a great job of handling the compression and other video
specifications optimal for social networks. All you need to do is specify the
orientation and the upload network.
Transitioning to Premiere Pro
If you're at a point where
your Rush project needs a little more "umph" to get your message
across, you can open your saved Rush project in Premiere Pro. Your edits will
translate over to a new Premiere Pro project allowing you not to skip a beat in
your workflow. If you would like to learn more about Adobe Premiere Pro, see
