Sony Electronics has expanded its camera authenticity technology to support video content verification, marking a significant industry first in the fight against AI-generated fake content. The C2PA-compliant solution is now available for five Sony cameras, with four additional models scheduled for support by 2026.
We can bet that other industry equipment suppliers as well as NLE providers will also follow suit, however with the likes of Adobe embracing A.I. this may prove difficult.
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.
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.

DaVinci Resolve 20 is officially here. Blackmagic has finalized its latest post-production suite, introducing over 100 new features—many of them AI-powered.
Taking place at the annual LSAD Graduation show at the Clare Street Campus, Limerick, will be the screening of end of year capstone projects from the 4th year Creative Broadcast & Film Production students.
There will be a series of short films, documentaries, portfolios and dissertations available to the public in a selected location in the campus, where the students themselves will also be in attendance to chat about their work and hopefully network too with visitors and even interested industry parties.
Why not come along to this event which is open from May 31st to June 8th 2025.
This highlights reel features a selection of content and programmes that were created by the 2025 crew of Film CEL. This years crew excelled themselves on all productions and projects, gaining experience on planning, camera operation, grip and rigging, lighting and sound and post production using Avid Media Composer.
This crew will continue as students in the year 4 of the Creative Broadcast and Film Production programme at LSAD, TUS where they will take these skills and develop new content and creative works for their final year.
As a long time user of DaVinci Resolve Studio, I value this NLE highly in both my professional work as well as an academic when instructing my students.
Recently with the release of the new public beta version of DaVinci Resolve 20, and its huge amount of new features, their announcement video claimed about a possible upgrade fee in the future. Resolve is loved by users for both its intuitive use as well as its non-subscription, and thus this announcement created a worry that this non-subscription platform was coming to an end. However Darren Mostyn, who i highly recommend editors and colourists follow his YouTube account (click his name to go to that account), managed to speak to a representative from BMD Europe and get a full definition of what this upgrade fee will actually be. Check out the video below:
Blackmagic Design has just announced the latest update of their Non Linear Editing software, DaVinci Resolve 20. Their focus this time seems to be the editors and creators of Hollywood and pushing their NLE as the best choice for the demands of the content creation.
“DaVinci Resolve is the world’s only solution that combines editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post production all in one software tool! Its elegant, modern interface is fast to learn and easy for new users, yet powerful for professionals. DaVinci Resolve lets you work faster and at a higher quality because you don’t have to learn multiple apps or switch software for different tasks. That means you can work with camera original quality images throughout the entire process. It’s like having your own post production studio in a single app! Best of all, by learning DaVinci Resolve, you’re learning how to use the exact same tools used by Hollywood professionals!”
The upgrade software is available for both the free and studio (paid) versions from their website HERE
There is a recommendation that if you are willing to upgrade now, that you make sure you backup your databases, outputting and keyboard settings as well as any additional LUTs you may have installed.
My advise too would be not to upgrade if you have projects still in post… finish and deliver and wait for a break in your editing schedule before updating any NLE software. This will reduce any possible issues and incompatibilities for your workflows on a project.
