Adobe has made licensed music from Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group available in its Premiere mobile video editing app.
The company said in a blog post on Tuesday (November 10) that “hundreds of thousands of licensed music tracks” are now available directly in the app.
The tracks are licensed for personal, non-commercial videos and can currently only be used on iPhone, according to Adobe.
Availability on Android is “coming soon,” the company said.
The launch comes a week after Adobe announced its partnerships with UMG and WMG on November 3.
At the time, Adobe said users would be able to add up to 60 seconds of a track to a video.
Adobe’s November 10 blog post names Olivia Dean and Noah Kahan as examples of artists whose music is now available in the app.
Dean‘s 2025 album, The Art of Loving, was released via Capitol Records, while Kahan‘s 2026 album, The Great Divide, was released via Mercury Records.
Both labels are part of UMG.
Adobe says Premiere mobile users can now browse trending tracks and featured artists, and start an edit from “artist-inspired templates” linked to specific songs and artists.
Users who need music cleared for commercial use can continue to turn to Adobe Stock Audio, the company said.
In Adobe‘s November 3 announcement, Bryan Stone, SVP, Business Development at Universal Music Group, said: “Music has always been a powerful way for people to express themselves and connect with others. By bringing licensed music from UMG artists into Adobe Premiere mobile, we’re giving creators new ways to build their stories around the songs they love for the first time, while helping our artists and songwriters reach new audiences.”

“The way people experience and engage with music extends far beyond traditional listening platforms,” said Rachel Scarpati, VP, Digital Strategy and Business Development at WMG. “Our partnership with Adobe Premiere mobile integrates WMG’s catalog directly into the creative process, opening up new possibilities for creative expression and deeper fan engagement.”
Neither of Adobe‘s two announcements names Sony Music Entertainment as a partner.

Finished videos can be exported from Premiere mobile and posted to “licensed social platforms,” according to Adobe.
The company named YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels as examples in materials sent to MBW for the November 3 announcement.
Adobe announced the Premiere mobile music launch alongside new Firefly tools on November 10, the first day of its Adobe MAX conference in Miami Beach.
The company also said its AI Assistant, powered by the Adobe Creative Agent, is coming to Premiere mobile as a private beta.
Among the planned features is Quick Cut, which Adobe says will generate “an editable first cut” from camera roll footage, based on a user’s description of the video they want to make.
Adobe launched Premiere mobile on iPhone on September 30, 2025, and brought the app to Android on September 22, 2026.
The UMG and WMG deals are not Adobe‘s first music-related move.
In June 2024, TikTok struck a deal with Adobe to bring its Commercial Music Library to Adobe Express via the Symphony Assistant add-on.
The tie-up opened more than one million pre-cleared songs to businesses using Adobe Express.
In October 2025, Adobe added a Generate Soundtrack tool to its Firefly AI suite, saying it could “create a custom, fully-licensed music track” for videos.
Adobe has said its Firefly generative AI models were “trained on licensed content, like Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired.”
Elsewhere, Canva launched a library of music licensed from Warner Music Group, Merlin, and other rightsholders in November 2023.
Canva said at the time that users would have access to more than “half a million songs,” with the tracks available for non-commercial purposes only.Music Business Worldwide
