I upgraded my laptop 4 months ago thinking I could do all my school work in photoshop and after effects, only learn I can't even install after effects on the copilot laptops! 

 

I feel like it's been a while since the snapdragon processor has been released, it's used by microsoft, acer, asus, lenovo and more. After effects should be download-able by now

Hi all,

A new update: Native builds of After Effects (Beta) for Windows on ARM are now available; the latest Beta builds no longer use Intel emulation. Full details can be found here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/announcement-windows-on-arm-native-in-after-effects-beta/td-p/15434703.

 

Cheers,

Absolutely, I had to get my old Laptop with Windows 10 which is very slow to be able to work on my After Effects Projects, thank God I hadn't sold it before I got my new laptop. But it's a an absolute shame, because it's not just After Effects, it's a bunch of other Adobe products and any useful plug-ins.

Hi, @katarina_kate,

Keep an eye on this page (in case you're not already doing so): Do Adobe apps work on Microsoft Copilot+ PCs?

 

I believe Premiere Pro and Media Encoder were added very recently, but After Effects is still on the "will be released soon" list.

Sorry that an exact date is not available.

I would love to run After Effects inside Parallels on an M2 Mac. Looking forward to the release of the ARM-compatible version.

Same here. Desperately waiting for Lightroom Classic and After Effects. I think the estimated times used to be late 2024, but we're still waiting...
