Hello! I have the Adobe Creative Cloud and have been using Audition, Photoshop and Lightroom quite regularly. I recently wanted to download Premiere as I'm beginning to do some video editing and I have more experience with Premiere in the past than the video editor that comes on my computer. When I realized I didn't have the system requirements on my laptop for Premiere Pro that comes with my cloud, I thought I would just use the editor on my laptop but it's so frustrating and difficult to use compared to Premiere.

I was wondering if I would be able to download an older version of Premiere instead of the newer version that comes with the Cloud. I looked up the requirements for some of the older ones and I meet the requirements for those easy.

Please let me know if this would be possible or if anyone has any tips to help me. iMovie is too all over the place for me at the current time and I only have

Which version do you need exactly? Which operating system are you running?

All paid up Cloud members (not trials) can install most previous versions back to CS6.

I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
-NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD

I bought this MacBook Pro in 2013, currently running OS X 10.9.5 and  4GB memory

I do have software updates available if need be, but the last time I did a big software update it slowed down considerably so I've always been weary to update since.

I will look into that! Thank you!

you can update your os to the latest 10.12 but you're likely to still see a bottleneck issue with only 4gb ram when trying to do video editing.

a few weeks ago i purchased a 13in 2015 macbook pro with 16gb ram (an upgrade from my 4gb 2009 macbook pro) for just under $1800 and saw a significant increase in performance.
