I had the opportunity to write an article for the latest edition of the Assembled Magazine for the Irish Screen Editors Guild (ISE), about the challenges people with disabilities face when entering the post production industry. A recent graduate of mine from the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme, Katie Quirke, also gave me a direct insight to the challenges and how things can be improved for editors with disabilities. This article and many others are now available to read from the ISE website HERE or by clicking the image above. Special thanks to Katie for allowing me to tell some of her story and to Shane Woods ISE for asking me to contribute to this issue.

Adobe have released their new mobile version of their flagship NLE, Adobe Premiere for iOS devices. This new iteration replaces the basic Adobe Rush app which didn’t take off as well as Adobe had anticipated all those years ago.
See the download info HERE
According to Wired:
ADOBE HAS HAD a busy year designing and redesigning a number of its most popular apps for mobile, and Premiere for iPhone is the latest—a mobile-first video editing workflow that adapts most of the tools from the desktop version of Premiere to a mobile user interface. You can trim, layer, edit, and even auto-generate captions, alongside all the basic editing features you’d expect, like color and exposure adjustments.
The automatic resizing feature is particularly nice, adapting videos to both horizontal and landscape platforms, making sure your subject is centered for both cuts. As with anything Adobe releases these days, there are plenty of AI-powered features, including the ability to generate backgrounds from a prompt and create sound effects from your voice.
Premiere for iPhone is free, though if you want to use the AI features, you’ll have to buy credits within the app. According to Adobe, the Android version is still under development. —Scott Gilbertson
Colin Michael has released a tutorial for iOS users on the app which can be viewed below:
It remains to be seen if this software will be adopted by mobile editors, as it has some stiff competition with Blackmagic’s Da Vinci Resolve for iOS.
Time will tell whether it fills a gap in the market or become another “Rush” ed project.
