Announcement: Changes to Minimum OS Requirements for After Effects 23.0

Hi all!

I'm posting to let you know that we will update our system requirements with the next major release of our video applications. This includes the 23.0 versions of After Effects, Audition, Character Animator, Media Encoder, and Premiere Pro. We update our system requirements each year, which allows After Effects to take full advantage of these platforms and helps ensure optimal performance for you. 

This change goes into effect with next week's Beta builds (week of August 22). 

Minimum OS Requirements 

To run After Effects Beta version 23.0, Mac users need to be on macOS Big Sur (version 11) or later. Windows users need to be on Windows 10 (64-bit) v20H2 (or later) or Windows 11. 

We recommend running our applications on the latest operating systems: 

•          macOS Monterey (version 12)  
•          Windows 10 (64-bit) v21H2 or Windows 11 

Please note that support for macOS Catalina (version 10.15) will be discontinued. It will not be possible to install the 23.0 versions of our video applications on macOS 10.15 or older.
