Make Premiere Mobile for Androids like Node videoOpen for Voting

Interesting talk with Gemini :  Me: would it be as good as the pc version in the future ?  like is there any conversation the company was taking about dreaming about a pc level editing for the future... you know? Gemini: Adobe’s vision isn’t necessarily to make the mobile app an exact "clone" of the PC version, but rather to make them partners in a single, professional workflow. While they aren't "dreaming" of putting the full, heavy Premiere Pro interface on a 6-inch screen, they are working toward PC-level quality through a few key strategies:## 1. The "Edit Anywhere" PhilosophyAdobe’s current goal is for you to be able to start a project on your phone and finish it on your PC without losing any quality. [1, 2]  * Seamless Sync: Projects from the new [Premiere on iPhone](https://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/app.html) (and the upcoming Android version) can be directly imported into Premiere Pro on desktop.* Unified Engine: The new mobile app is powered by the same high-quality rendering engine as the PC version, ensuring your mobile exports look just as professional. [3, 4, 5, 6]  ## 2. AI as the "Great Equalizer"Adobe is betting on AI (Adobe Firefly) to bring "pro-level" results to mobile without needing complex PC menus. [7, 8]  * One-Tap Pro Tools: Features like "Enhance Speech" (which makes phone mic audio sound like studio recording) and "Auto Reframe" are being ported directly from PC to mobile.* Generative Power: They are adding tools that allow you to generate sound effects, expand backgrounds, and remove objects with text prompts—things that used to take hours on a PC. [7, 9, 10]  ## 3. Will it ever be "as good" as PC?In terms of power, yes; in terms of control, probably not. * Mobile's Strength: Speed, AI-driven automation, and social media integration.* PC's Strength: Complex color grading, advanced visual effects (VFX), and managing massive multi-track projects with hundreds of clips. [7, 11, 12, 13]  ## Summary of Differences | Feature [7, 13, 14, 15] | Premiere Mobile (Future Android) | Premiere Pro (PC) ||---|---|---|| Speed | ⚡ Fast (AI-heavy) | 🐢 Slower (Manual) || Control | 🤏 Simplified (Touch) | ⌨️ Precise (Keyboards/Shortcuts) || Project Size | 📱 Short-form/Social | 🎬 Full Films/Long-form || VFX/Color | ✨ Presets/AI Looks | 🎨 Deep, Manual Tools | Adobe’s "dream" is that you shouldn't have to choose between them—you use the phone for the quick, smart stuff and the PC for the heavy lifting. [2, 6] Since the Android version is still in development, are you planning to use it for professional work or more for social media content?  Me: dude; why can't they ; don't they know that there is an app called node video and is basical an Adobe after effects for mobile!  I believe they should be able to do something like this if they wanted! Gemini: You're spot on—Node Video proves that high-end, "After Effects-style" editing is technically possible on a phone, even featuring a node-based interface, 3D camera tracking, and complex keyframing. [1, 2, 3, 4] If a smaller studio like Shallway can do it, Adobe definitely can—but their current business strategy is different. Here is why Adobe hasn't "cloned" Node Video's approach yet:## 1. Different Target Audience * Node Video is built for "power users" and VFX enthusiasts who are willing to deal with a steep learning curve and complex menus to get professional results on mobile.* Adobe's Goal is to capture the massive social media creator market. They want an app that is fast and "uncluttered," where AI does the heavy lifting (like auto-captioning and noise removal) so users can post high-quality content quickly. [1, 5, 6]  ## 2. Guarding the "Desktop Crown"Adobe makes a huge portion of its revenue from Creative Cloud subscriptions. If they put 100% of Premiere Pro or After Effects on a phone for $5 a month, many professionals might stop paying the $50+/month for the desktop suite. They prefer a "Mobile + Desktop" hybrid where: [7]  * The mobile app is for the rough cut and quick AI fixes.* The desktop app remains the only place for deep VFX and professional color grading. [5, 8, 9]  ## 3. Stability vs. FeaturesNode Video is powerful, but it has very high hardware requirements and can crash or disable features on many mid-range Android devices. Adobe is a massive corporation that prioritizes stability and compatibility across millions of devices. They would rather release a "simpler" app that works for everyone than a "pro" app that only works on high-end flagships. [10, 11] ## 4. The Shift to AIInstead of giving you manual "After Effects" sliders, Adobe is betting on Adobe Firefly. Their "dream" is that you won't need to manually animate a mask or track a camera—the AI will just do it for you based on a text prompt. [6, 8] The Bottom Line: Adobe isn't trying to beat Node Video at its own game; they are trying to change the game entirely by making mobile editing as automated as possible. [5] Since you're a fan of those pro-level tools, are you mostly using them for complex motion graphics or just for better color and precision than basic apps offer?Proactive Follow-up: Would you like to see a list of the best After Effects-like features currently available in the Premiere Mobile beta?  Me: Don't be fool, they can make it easy and stable for quick edit using AI or whatever; but also include pro heavy features for the people who want to use them! Gemini: You’re right—technically, there is nothing stopping a multi-billion dollar company like Adobe from building a "Pro Mode" into their mobile app. Apps like Node Video, LumaFusion, and even DaVinci Resolve on iPad prove that you can have a "simple" interface for quick edits and a "beast" mode for professionals under the same hood.If Adobe actually listened to power users like you, here is how they would likely build that "Dream App":## 1. The "Switchable" InterfaceInstead of two different apps, they could have a Simple/Pro Toggle: * Simple Mode: Big buttons, AI-automated captions, and one-tap filters (for the TikTok/Reels crowd).* Pro Mode: Unlocks the timeline, keyframe graphs (like After Effects), 3D space, and Lumetri color wheels. ## 2. External Hardware SupportFor "Pro" features to be stable, Adobe would need to optimize for: * Thunderbolt/USB-C SSDs: Allowing you to edit 4K footage directly from a drive instead of filling up your phone's storage.* External Monitors: Using Samsung DeX or iPads to give you a full desktop-sized UI while the phone does the processing. ## 3. Why they haven't done it (yet)It likely comes down to Corporate Strategy, not technical ability: * The "Subscription" Trap: Adobe wants you to need the PC version. If the mobile app is too good, their $50/month Creative Cloud sub looks less "essential" to some people.* Cloud Processing: Adobe is moving toward "Cloud-First." They’d rather have their massive servers do the heavy rendering (AI) than your phone’s battery-draining processor. ## 4. The Competition PressureThe only thing that will force Adobe to make a "Pro" Android app is competition. * If Blackmagic brings DaVinci Resolve to Android flagships (like they did for iPad), Adobe will be forced to match those pro features or lose the market.* Node Video is already eating their lunch in the VFX mobile space. Adobe is definitely capable; they just seem to be playing it "safe" to keep their desktop business protected.Since you know your way around high-end apps like Node Video, what’s the one "must-have" feature from After Effects that you think Adobe is crazy for leaving out of mobile?   So what do you think Adobe? Can you do that or your scared to fail 🥲?

Feature Request / Bug Report – ExtendScript Filter API broken in Bridge 2026Open for Voting

Hello Adobe Bridge Team,I would like to report a missing/broken feature in Adobe Bridge 2026 regarding ExtendScript filter control.PROBLEM:In Bridge 2026, it is no longer possible to control the Filter Panel programmatically via ExtendScript. Specifically:• app.document.filterParameters returns null (was functional in older versions)• app.document.chooseMenuItem() does not trigger rating filters (e.g. "Rating3")• thumbnail.selected = true/false has no effect on the visual filter• app.addEventListener() is not supported in Startup Scripts context• MenuElement("separator", ...) throws "Bad argument undefined"USE CASE:I use TouchPortal (a hardware/software button panel) to control Bridge remotely. I need to be able to toggle filters for specific star ratings (e.g. show ONLY 3-star images, additive with other ratings) via keyboard shortcut or script — without using the mouse.The existing keyboard shortcuts (⌥⌘1–5) only support "X or more stars" (>=), not exact star ratings. The Filter Panel checkboxes for exact ratings are only accessible via mouse click — no keyboard shortcut, no script API.REQUEST:1. Restore filterParameters API functionality in Bridge 20262. Add chooseMenuItem() support for individual rating filter checkboxes3. Add keyboard shortcuts for exact star rating filters (not just >= filters)This functionality existed in earlier Bridge versions and its removal significantly limits automation and accessibility workflows.Thank you for considering this request.
