Adobe Premiere Rush: Should you buy it?įor users looking to maximise their creative output and save time in front of the screen, Premiere Rush is a good, simple video editor with all the most basic editing tools you could ask for. This is a useful feature for editors who want to begin an edit using their mobile device before fine-tuning it later. However, the Project Sync feature makes it possible to start an edit in Rush then send it to Pro.

Placement of graphics is also automatically adjusted for ideal positioning in each aspect ratio. This intelligently locates the most important part of a clip and ensures it’s not cropped out when the aspect ratio is changed. There’s an option to switch the aspect ratio of your edit between 16:9, 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1, and Auto Reframe was added in the August 2020 update. It's brilliant how easy this makes sharing content online for creators, with specific aspect ratios and quality required for each platform taken care of by the software.

We’d like to see at least a simple manual editing tool for the audio here, similar to what we find in the Color’s ‘Edit’ column. However, in the Audio tool in the editing panel on the right you can make a few audio adjustments including volume, muting, and automatic volume and ducking adjustment. This kind of doubling up is rarely seen throughout Premiere Rush, so is a little surprising. The audio channel in the timeline can be expanded for more accurate editing in one of two ways: either with the button bottom-left or by right-clicking the clip in the timeline and choosing Expand audio. Though not as in depth as you’d get on desktop software like Premiere Pro, these are intuitive and easy, not at all as fiddly as audio editing can become. There’s a useful selection of audio adjustments you can make: both manual and auto volume levels, noise and echo reduction, and speech enhancement (which raises or lowers the pitch). The audio options are fairly straightforward, and may be too basic for some (Image credit: Jason Parnell Brookes)Īs well as adding music and effects, you can record voiceover directly into Premiere Rush.
