About this Tool

Adobe Premiere Rush is a mobile and desktop video editing app for creativity on the go. This is the ideal app for those who are new to video editing as well as for those who want a simple yet powerful tool to create engaging short videos on any device. Adobe has streamlined the interface to make it easy for anyone to create their own video with a minimal learning curve. The app also includes premade graphics, transitions, and audio (music and sound effects) so that your videos get that extra polish with little effort on your end. Using Adobe Creative Cloud, you can sync your Rush projects so that you can start a video project on one device and then continue it on another.

Key Features for Teaching and Learning

  • Create a commentary video. Create callouts and labels for images and videos while you provide explanations about a particular topic; go the extra mile by adding a video recording of yourself and create a “picture-in-picture” effect.
  • Construct scenario videos for your class. Provide a real-world example for your class to work through by using Premiere Rush to create scenarios that your students can see and hear; you can provide the voice over and use Adobe Stock images (free to IU) to create those scenarios.
  • Welcome your students to class with an intro video. Whether you teach online or in person, you can create a video to introduce yourself and the course to your students, welcoming them into the course and helping them feel more at ease with the subject.
