Adobe Premiere Rush is a relative newcomer to the video editing world. Released as Adobe Premiere Rush in 2018, it was previously known as an unreleased program called Project Rush. Adobe has aimed this new cross-platform editing software at YouTubers aiming to up their game, or for those that want to generate content quickly without the extra frills that professional video editing softwares offer.

Premiere Rush gives a tutorial walkthrough when the app is first opened, perfect for the uninitiated. But Rush is quite simple to get to grips with even without that. After a simple media import process users are met with one monitoring panel for viewing the edited media, and a timeline panel beneath in which to edit. The centre panels are flanked with import and basic cutting/splicing tools on the left, and editing tools on the right. For users on the go it can be used on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices that meet the minimum system requirements.
