Now let’s try our best to directly compare Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Rush in terms of what each offers. As a timeline based editor, Premiere Pro will also provide the full range of editing tools to cut your videos into something to use on social media platforms or into an indie film. Premiere Pro is capable of working with multiple file formats and is syncable with other Adobe apps like Photoshop, After Effects, or even working with Premiere Rush files. (Plus, we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out our very own Adobe Premiere Pro extension where you can browse, select, and add Soundstripe tracks and stems to your project without ever leaving the app.) Premiere Pro is truly one the best NLE programs on the market and should give you plenty of video editing tools for turning your video files and video clips into whatever your heart desires.

There’s also a whole host of color correcting and grading functions, and complete sound and audio design.

While not quite as robust as After Effects, you can still perform keyframing, compositing, and even basic motion graphics.
