Want to download Premiere Rush? In this article we'll explain how to do so, how to get it at the best price, and even how to download it for free.
And it's well worth doing so. Because while this cross-platform video editing software isn't quite as powerful or feature-rich as its professional sibling, Premiere Pro, that's part of its charm.
Premiere Rush is a lightweight app that's easy to use and doesn't demand a big learning curve. That means you can upload, edit and share video quickly and easily, making it ideal for creating content for social media, or just giving an extra layer of polish to your holiday videos.
That said, this app isn't just for amateurs. Professionals, too, find the mobile Premiere Rush apps offer a handy way to make tweaks to their videos while on the move. Particularly as you can swap your footage back and forth between Premiere Rush and the more advanced Premiere Pro.
Please note, though, that Premiere Rush is currently not available in China.
What is Premiere Rush?
Adobe Premiere Rush is a cross-device app for creating and sharing online videos. It allows you to edit footage on a timeline using drag and drop. You can crop, resize and rotate your clips; fix colors, adjust audio, add titles and captions; record voiceovers and use other audio tools like sound balancing, noise reduction, and auto-ducking.
You can use the app on your phone, tablet, or desktop, and your edits are automatically synced to the cloud. Once you're done editing your video, you can share it to all the usual social channels, right from the app.
Available on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, Premiere Rush comes with free customizable motion graphics templates, and integrates nicely with Adobe Stock if you want to find extra templates. If you're totally new to video editing, you can access a guided interactive tutorial the minute you open the app; right from the Welcome screen.
Can I download Premiere Rush for free?
Yes, you can download Premiere Rush for free under the Starter Plan, and use it for as long as you wish. This gives you unlimited exports on Premiere Rush mobile, and three free video exports on Premiere Rush desktop.
(What do we mean by exports? Basically, any time that you want to save a video you’ve created in Rush on your computer or mobile device, or share it to social media, you must export it first.)
You can download the desktop version of Premiere Rush for free from this page. Just click on the blue button that reads 'Start for Free' and follow the steps. If you don't already have an Adobe ID, don't worry: it's free to create one with your email address, or through your Google, Facebook, or Apple account.
You can download the iOS version of Premiere Rush for free here and use it on both your iPhone and iPad. You can download the Android version of Premiere Rush here, to use on Android phones, Android tablets and Chromebooks.
What's the difference between the free and premium version of Premiere Rush?
The Premiere Rush free plan includes 2GB of cloud storage, unlimited free exports on mobile, and up to three exported projects on desktop. This is a great way to get started with video editing.
However, if you want to get serious with your video editing, you'll want to upgrade to one of three paid-for plans:
The Premiere Rush Single App Plan gives you access to all the premium features and content of Premiere Rush, including the ability to sync projects across devices. It also comes with 100GB cloud storage, unlimited exports on desktop and mobile, and access to Adobe Fonts, Adobe Portfolio and the premium version of Adobe Spark.
This option is ideal for anyone who wants to use Premiere Rush on mobile or desktop, but doesn't want to use Premiere Pro as well. This option costs $9.99 / £9.98 / AU$14.29 per month.
The Premiere Pro Single App plan allows you to download Premiere Rush along with Premiere Pro. You also get everything you'd have on the Single App plan, namely unlimited exports on desktop, 100GB cloud storage, and access to Adobe Fonts, Adobe Portfolio and the premium version of Adobe Spark. This option costs $20.99 / £19.97 / AU$29.99 per month.
Finally, a Creative Cloud subscription means you get everything in the Premiere Pro Single App plan as well as access to ALL Creative Cloud apps, including Audition, After Effects, Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and more. This option costs $79.99 / £49.94 / AU$76.99 per month.
Can I get the premium version of Premiere Rush for free?
There is a way you can download the premium version of Premiere Rush for free: as part of a seven-day free trial of the Creative Cloud All-Apps subscription.
This is the only way to get the premium version of Premiere Rush for free. Don't trust third-party sites offering you a free download; they're certain to be scams. Adobe is the only company that can let you download Premiere Rush.
To get a free trial, you’ll need to give your credit card details. But as long as you cancel before the trial is complete, you won’t have to pay. Alternatively, if you prefer to keep your subscription going, you don’t need to do anything at all: Adobe will just take your payments automatically.
How students and teachers can download the premium version of Premiere Rush at a discount
