Adobe agrees with major record labels to bring licensed songs to Premiere mobile

Adobe has announced partnerships with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group to integrate licensed music clips directly into its free Premiere mobile video editing app. The deal will allow video creators to browse, search, and incorporate tracks from popular artists into their projects without leaving the mobile editing workflow.

The integration lets editors search trending music by artist or track, filter selections by genre and duration, and embed up to 60 seconds of a song into a timeline. Adobe also plans music-powered templates designed to sync visual edits with audio tracks. However, the songs are licensed strictly for personal, non-commercial use, meaning creators working on commercial content must continue relying on services like Adobe Stock Audio. [1]

According to Universal Music Group's Bryan Stone, the initiative aims to help artists and songwriters reach new audiences while giving creators native editing options. Adobe has not named specific artists, disclosed how many songs will be available, or provided a firm launch date, stating only that the features are coming soon. [1][2]
