There is a trimmed-down version, though, which works on phones and tablets and provides 90% of the features you’ll need. It’s called Premiere Rush. It can be used for free – but a subscription will unleash the real power. And as well as all the features the app brings, you also get lots of online storage for projects, and access to Adobe’s huge range of fonts, to give your work a unique look and feel.

Cost: Subscription to Adobe Premiere Rush costs £9.98/month, or £19.98/month for Rush and Premiere Pro.
