Adobe Express includes a simple video editor and Shorts templates that make it easy to create short vertical videos for YouTube. You can combine your clips with templates, music and animated text, then schedule the Short without leaving the app.
Key features include:
- YouTube Shorts and short video templates
- A simple timeline editor with trimming, transitions and animations
- Auto-captions for videos
- Firefly AI to generate images, text effects and fills
- Adobe Stock video, images and music
- Content Scheduler for YouTube, Instagram and other platforms
- Free background removal for photos and videos
Because it comes from Adobe, work moves easily between Adobe Express, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and other Creative Cloud apps.
The free plan is permanent, with 100,000+ templates and over a million stock assets. Premium, at roughly $9.99 per month in the U.S., unlocks the full template and stock libraries, brand kits and 250 monthly Firefly generative credits, with a 30-day free trial available.
Its video tools are simpler than CapCut’s or VEED’s, and some templates are Premium-only. For Adobe users making and scheduling Shorts, though, it’s a strong choice.
