Immediately after the announcement of the new products of Apple that adopt architecture Silicon (we tried MacBook Air), Adobe confirmed that it would support the new M1 SoC with its main applications. After Photoshop and Lightroom it is now time for Adobe Premiere Pro that, in beta version, it is ready to be tried by users.
Adobe Premiere Pro in beta version supports Apple Silicon
One of the executives of the company stated in the post linked to the launch that “our team is working hard on a version of Premiere Pro that will run natively on the new Apple Silicon-based M1 processor. The first public beta is available today and we invite you Your feedback is welcome. We will update the beta frequently as new builds become available “.
As stated therefore, this is not a “finished” product and bugs to be fixed and new features are expected in the coming weeks. However, this is a start, thus allowing you not to have to use the Rosetta 2 simulation for the version designed for Intel.
Again according to what is reported, the first public beta of Adobe Premiere Pro has all the main editing functions for color, graphics and audio, Productions and multicam. The company decided to give users support for codecs such as H. 264, HEVC and ProRes right away. Given the large code and the complexity of the project, the news will come gradually.
After Effects and Media Encoder are not yet available for Apple Silicon (will arrive at a later time). This means that Rosetta 2 and the Intel version will need to be used when needed. Then there are a series of features that are not activated in the native version for Apple M1 while there are also some bugs, as visible in the link attached above. But the road is marked.
