How to get Adobe Premiere Pro Free Trial
One of the best things that Adobe offers along with its plans, is the possibility of downloading any of its applications for free, through its free trial. This option allows you to download and use the entire Creative Cloud or one of its programs for free. All you have to do is go to their website and follow the instructions, but I’ll explain everything below.
Go to the Adobe Premiere Pro website and look at the top of the screen, there between the different menus available, you will see the one that says “Free Trial”. Click here to continue.
After clicking on the button, you will be presented with a window with two options:
- Premiere Pro: This is the first plan available, as I mentioned, and includes only Adobe Premiere Pro, as well as: Premiere Rush, 100GB of cloud storage, your own portfolio website and the Premium fonts.
- Creative Cloud All Apps: This is the most complete and enjoyable plan, as it includes the entire Creative Cloud, which is more than 20 programs, 100GB of cloud storage, portfolio website, and premium fonts.
Under each plan is the “Start free trial” button. Depending on the plan you choose, press the corresponding button.
Start your Free Adobe Premiere Pro Trial
Once you press the button, a new window will appear before you, but this time it includes different fields that you will have to fill in with your data. For this part of the process, it is necessary to have an Adobe ID account. These accounts are Adobe’s way of keeping control of their active plans and programs at all times. If you don’t have an Adobe ID account, on that same page you can create one in less than 5 minutes. After entering your Adobe ID, you will need to enter all your data and verify that the information is correct.
Once completed, it will begin downloading Adobe Premiere Pro free trial, which you will have available for 7 days from the time you install it.
No to piracy
There are many websites that claim to have “free” versions of Premiere Pro or a large number of other programs, but it is not recommended to rely on these sites, much less to download material illegally. I teach you certain things to consider when thinking about pirating a program:
- Malware/viruses: the first danger is an infection by viruses or malware. This can always happen when illegal downloads are made, as the websites where pirated programs are obtained are generally dangerous for your computer.
- Zero updates: forget about receiving any updates, as you don’t have an Adobe ID account with an active plan, you won’t be able to keep your pirate version up to date. And since Adobe includes new features and extras in all its updates, you would be missing out on a lot.
- No help from Adobe: Goodbye 24/7 customer support. The pirated versions of Premiere Pro do not have the customer service offered by Adobe, and you will not be able to call or consult any problem or malfunction.
- Malfunctioning: Pirate programs don’t always come with all the available features, because in order for them to work it is necessary to disable characteristics. For some of these features, it is necessary to have internet, but by blocking the internet connection to avoid detection of the pirate copy, you avoid parts of the software that may be vital to its operation.
- It’s illegal: Simple. Downloading and using pirated software is totally illegal, and depending on the site you live on, legal charges can be brought against you.
Adobe Premiere Pro free alternatives
For much people 7 days isn’t enough time for a trial, or and many others prefer to try several editors before buying any of them. If your case is similar to one of those, here are some alternatives to Premiere Pro:
Shotcut
The open-source video editor Shotcut is a free tool with a wide range of functions. Shotcut allows you to drag a video file into the timeline box to work on it. The user interface is straightforward and organized, the options to design, format and stabilize the videos are completed with some predefined categories of filtering, which facilitate the search process and speed up the editing. The filters also allow you to increase, adjust or decrease the volume of single sequences in order to insert a music track, and the chromatic wheels intuitively correct color and chromatic density. The tool also makes it easy for users to export files, as it supports formats such as MP3, MP4, MPEG or MOV.
Shotcut allows native editing in the timeline, that is, to edit without importing the video into the program, but using the same original video file as the base, preventing loss of quality. A feature that makes the program a truly attractive alternative to Premiere Pro is its compatibility with 4K resolution videos, almost four times sharper than Full HD resolution. This is why the topic of making 4K videos is often chosen by developers to make detailed video tutorials and publish them on the Shotcut official website.
Shotcut is a program capable of satisfying both lovers of ultra-high definition, as well as the most active editors looking for power, by offering superior quality and multiple possibilities when creating videos.
OpenShot Video Editor
Among the free video editors that make good alternatives to Premiere Pro, the OpenShot Video Editor tool stands out as a very good option for getting familiar with mounting and editing. Previously it was only available for Linux users, but today is also compatible with Windows and macOS.
OpenShot is characterized by an especially clean and easy to understand user interface. As with other editors, you can drag any type of file (image, video, audio) to the timeline panel and start editing.
The program contains all the elementary functions for a good video editing: effects filters, color correction and clarity, different types of fades with preview allowed, and a tool for green or blue screen chroma, among many other options. It also offers several extra useful features such as the possibility of defining keyboard shortcuts for certain actions, integrated tutorials, and configurable effect filters that you can activate by drag and drop as everything else. Using the free 3D Blender creation software you can also create three-dimensional animations (opening video titles, for example).
Now you know how to get Adobe Premiere Pro for free and safe, and know also some good open-source alternatives to try before acquiring any commitment. Whatever it is your final choice, with a bit of patience and practice you can achieve impressive professional-looking videos.

Adobe Premiere - Create and customize video montages
Assembling a few segments into a single video is not hard and it can be done with numerous tools, which are available on the Internet. Most applications focus on fast and simple procedures, making them excellent solutions for editing home videos. If you want to create a montage for professional purposes, you will need more control over your videos, a feature that most editors fail to provide. Many users prefer Adobe Premiere over any other video editor. Although some of its features can intimidate novice users, the software gives you full control and allows you to manipulate any aspect of your project, down to the slightest adjustments.
Adobe Premiere is not exactly a lightweight application. The installation package is 1.71 GB and it will take several minutes to set up the program on your computer. The Adobe Download Assistant can automatically download, extract and install Premiere or other Adobe-developed programs.
A series of adjustments have been made to the program's user interface. Just like its previous versions, Adobe Premiere CS6 allows you to customize the interface however you want. You may click and drag entire sections to different areas of the window, group them on separate tabs and so on. Additionally, the CS6 version lets you decide what controls should be displayed or not, beneath the source and project previews.
Another improvement is the way Premiere displays your input files when you switch from the list view mode to thumbnails. If you hover with the mouse cursor over a thumbnail and drag the mouse in certain directions, you will be able to preview different frames, as if you were clicking and dragging a seeker. Furthermore, the software will display different icons, on the same thumbnails, if the videos contain audio tracks or if the videos are used in your current project.
Effects can be added right away, on specific video segments, with click and drag actions or by double clicking the desired effect. Once added, you can make various adjustments to your effect, on a different section of the window. Obviously, the adjustment options are different, depending on the selected effect. All you need to know is that Premiere places a wide range of options at your disposal, for individual effects, so you may customize them in a very flexible manner.
Pros:
Adobe Premiere places numerous features at your disposal, allowing you to customize your montage anyway you want. You can apply effects instantly and make various adjustments. Although the large number of options can intimidate beginners, the software is very comfortable and elegant.
Cons:
Besides the fact that it comes in a large package, there are no serious drawbacks to mention.
Thanks to Adobe Premiere's smart and flexible functionality, your imagination is the only limit when creating a montage.
You can download Adobe Premiere free here.
