Adobe's Android Premiere Is Free, Mostly, and Points at Shorts
Adobe has brought a proper version of Premiere to Android. The app is in the Play Store for almost all Android devices, and it's free, mostly. Inside, you can import as many video tracks as you want, trim and split them, add effects, and export at up to 4K resolution. The defaults say a lot about who Adobe expects to use it: the app emphasizes the YouTube Short format and starts your output in portrait, with a more traditional orientation available if you go looking for it. A phone editor that opens vertical is aimed at the feed, not the festival.

The portrait default is a strong hint about the intended audience: footage shot on a phone and headed for a feed, not a festival.
Which makes the 4K export ceiling the interesting part — the app nudges you toward vertical while allowing a far higher-resolution finish.
