Android users, rejoice: Adobe Premiere is headed your way at last

• Google says Adobe Premiere is coming to Android “this summer.”
• Google says Android users will get “exclusive” templates to create YouTube Shorts and will also be able to upload them directly.
• In addition to Windows and Mac, Adobe Premiere is already available on iOS and iPadOS.

Google today revealed big changes coming to Android over the coming months, and there’s a big focus on making Gemini perform more work without the constant hand-holding, alongside a plethora of visual tweaks for Android. As Google makes another foray into laptops with the Googlebook, using the same framework as Android rather than ChromeOS, it’s also making room for a prominent desktop app to be available on Android.

At the Android Show I/O Edition, Google has also announced several new features targeting video creators. This includes a suite of native video recording and editing features in Android that will reduce dependence on specialized third-party tools and speed up video creation by enhancing the inherent video quality supported by apps such as Instagram. But a big, perhaps the biggest announcement, is that editors and creators will be able to execute the same workflow on their Android devices as on their desktops, with a popular video editing suite now coming to Android.
