\n\tAdobe had partnered with UMG and WMG to give you access to clips of songs from some of the most popular artists in your edits.<\/p>\n

Adobe has announced a partnership with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group \u2013 two of the three major record labels \u2013 to make it easy to use popular songs if you\u2019re editing a video in Premiere mobile. The company says this will help people creating videos that follow a trend (think: dancing to a specific song) or who just want something more exciting than standard royalty-free music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

According to Adobe, you\u2019ll be able to use an up-to-60-second clip of songs from \u201cleading artists\u201d in videos, though it\u2019s currently unclear how much of the labels\u2019 catalogs will be available. Premiere mobile will let you search for artists or songs, browse through genres and even keep a list of favorites. There will also be \u201ccustomizable templates paired with music\u201d that Adobe says will bring \u201cthe track and visual story together from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adobe says the license is for \u201cpersonal, non-commercial use\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

One important caveat: Adobe says the license is for \u201cpersonal, non-commercial use,\u201d so while you may be able to use a Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift song on your highlight reel from your latest vacation, this won\u2019t be a hack to get an otherwise unaffordable soundtrack for a professionally-made video. (And our Instagram followers should consider themselves lucky, as I absolutely could not be trusted with such power.)<\/p>\n

To me, this move feels like an obvious attempt from Adobe to compete with TikTok\u2019s editing tools and Instagram\u2019s Edits, which also allow the use of pop music in your videos. While these apps typically provide a smooth experience for using those songs if you\u2019re posting your edit to their platforms, things could get complicated if you post them to multiple platforms. With Premiere, however, Adobe says you\u2019ll be good to post your video to your \u201cfavorite licensed social platforms\u201d like YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

According to Adobe, the music will be coming to Premiere mobile soon, which is available for iOS and Android, and is free to use even if you don\u2019t have a Creative Cloud subscription.<\/p>\n
