Our team is working hard on a version of Premiere Pro that will run natively on Apple’s new Apple Silicon based M1 processor.

This phased approach allows us to validate performance and functionality for specific parts of the application before we add new components. And it also allows you to start seeing the benefits now.

The Beta processes

Since Premiere Pro is built on a large codebase with support for a wide range of media and workflows, we will implement native support for Apple M1 in phases and some parts have not been ported yet. This phased approach allows us to validate performance and functionality for specific parts of the application before we add new components. And it also allows you to start seeing the benefits now.

The first public Beta includes all the core editing functions and workflows like color, graphics, and audio, as well as features like Productions, and multicam.

The average editor is likely to see very little difference from the Intel version, but there are some limitations which are listed below. Please check back on this thread for more updates as we add more functionality.

Running current Intel version in Rosetta 2 emulation mode

While we complete the Apple M1-native versions of our Premiere Pro, you can install and run the current release version of Premiere Pro using Rosetta 2 emulation with Apple M1 devices and macOS 11.0 (Big Sur).

Please note that third party integrations such as panels, plugins, effects and drivers for transmit hardware will need to be updated by the developer to run natively on Apple Silicon and may or may not work in Rosetta 2 emulation mode today.

General Things to Know

Premiere Pro Beta for Apple M1 uses the new captions workflow, which requires you to upgrade project file format. If you want to work with current projects, we recommend creating a copy of for Beta testing to avoid compatibility issues with any ongoing production work.
After Effects and Media Encoder do not yet have Beta versions for M1 Macs. Dynamic Link with After Effects and Queue to Media Encoder will work with the Intel Beta versions of those applications, which will run under Rosetta 2 emulation mode

Supported Formats

H.264 & H.265 in MP4, MOV, or MXF
AVC Intra
XAVC-I & XAVC-L in MXF
ProRes in MOV or MXF
JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIF/HEIC
AAC, WAV, M4A

Known Issues

Tapping the tool selector on the Touch Bar (MacBook Pro) can cause a crash
Premiere Pro can crash on launch if set to Chinese localization
A crash can happen during the analysis phase of Scene Edit Detection
Team Projects collaborators can appear offline
Dragging markers in the Timeline or Program Monitor can cause a flicker in the Program Monitor
Estimated file size when exporting can be incorrect by an order of magnitude
Project Manager has an incomplete set of presets as well as some extraneous presets
Using Lumetri color controls while the Program or Source Monitor are set to Multi-Camera view can cause the application to hang
Using “Replace with After Effects Composition” will fail to bring the selected clips into After Effects
The background process “dynamiclinkmanager” can cause temporary hangs if the Intel After Effects Beta is launched before the native M1 Premiere Pro Beta. If intending to use both applications, make sure to quit all Adobe applications, then launch the native M1 Premiere Pro Beta, followed by launching the Intel After Effects Beta

Not functioning currently

Old caption workflow (please use the new captioning workflow which is available in both beta versions, Apple Silicon and Intel)
Interchange formats (XML, AAF, OMF)
Capture panel & preferences
Device Control preferences
Third party plug-in support including panels, effects, scripting, and transmit
Libraries panel

No RED files work with Premiere 14.9 Beta - the importer is not there. Would be extra important to check speed.

In After Effects 17.7.0 Beta the importer for RED files work?

Pleas Help.

@Francis-Crossman17221443 Dear Francis,
I do not wish to install Rosetta 2 on my M1 Mac. Can you provide the Creative Cloud ARM installer so that I can install the ARM betas directly? At the moment, I would need to download the Creative Cloud Intel installer (which would trigger a Rosetta install) and then upgrade to the ARM version.

I believe Rosetta 2 comes installed. My day job is creating commercials for a TV network and I would not use the Beta yet for anything other than testing. The beta is missing a lot of functionality. The regular version runs fine, just not as fast. Was there a specific reason that you were concerned about Rosetta

I tried to work in the Intel version first, but it did´nt work out edit in 4K. To slow. I have the Macbook Pro 16 gb memory. So I decided to test the beta version. It went smooth. But, yes there are missing lot of functionality. But Adobe says that the Premiere Pro MOGRT files should work, it does with the pre-installed, but adding new ones from Envato Elements does´nt. I get an error message. Also I have issues importing alpha channel clips from After Effects. It says it doesnt support .mov files - very strange. I have done this for years. Exporting RGB+Alpha "Animation" from AE, import it to Pr. But now...not.

Hi, i have issues trying to attach mogrt files in a sequence. I install it, but when i try to use it in a sequence it says: "To use this Motion Graphics template in Premiere Pro, please install After Effects 2020.0 and retry."

I have done so. ...what to do?

We don't yet have a version of After Effects running natively on Apple Silicon, so MOGRTs authored in AE will not function in Premiere Pro running native on the M1 at this time. Today - you can use MOGRTs that are authored in Premiere Pro. Or you can restart in compatibility mode which will run the Intel version through Rosessta 2 emulation. But then you will lose some of the benefits of the M1 chip.

Thanks for reply. How do I restart in compatibility mode?

Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor 3G output is only transmitting audio. Playback prefs don't display an option for selecting Blackmagic devices.

Your Blackmagic device interfaces with Premiere Pro at two points: #1 is in the Audio Hardware preferences where Premiere can detect it because it is registered with the OS as an audio device. This works for sending out audio only and does work in the current beta. #2 is in the Playback preferences where Premiere can talk to the device directly and send audio and video signals via what we call Mercury Transmit.

It's that second part that is not yet working in our Beta. It's on the roadmap, so stay tuned for updates. Thanks!

Thanks Adobe for make it realtime for M1 version, i love it but still need some work to do. Here's what my experiece.... My MBP sometimes get restart, or PP give me warning to close down/for intel version there was no warning; it turn off suddenly before my project was saved.

I didn't find any median any more/video noise reduction, where is it? It couldn't run smoothly in MBP 13 inch 8GB RAM with/without proxies from my Sony A7SIII (4K 60fps, hevc, 4:2:2, 10 bit) so i have to turn down the fps for 24p only but still it couldn't run smoothly. Any idea how to turn my timeline become smoother? Thanks
