Simple question I guess - but does Premier Pro (and other Adobe products)  "officially" work with  Windows 11?

Correct answer MarekMularczyk

According to Adobe website, Premiere Pro is now compatible with Windows 11:

 

Premiere Pro versions 22.0 and later are compatible with Windows 11 operating systems. For systems with NVIDIA GPUs, Windows 11 requires NVIDIA driver version 472.12 or later.

As I'm between jobs at the moment, I was going to try it but it seems you have to wait and let microsoft inform you when you can update. I understand there is an issue with Addition and Win 11. I'll be very interested to see if Encore runs at all.

My trusty i7 is dying, and, evven before Win 11, it looks like I could lose a lot of old versions that I use to answer questions. Oh, well...

 

I am hopeful that Win11 will be at least as effective in its compatibility settings as Win10. We will see.

 

And yes, it appears that you can't just decide to install Win11.

It´s there, so it will hopefully be as effective as it is in Win 10. 🙂

It is not (yet) in the official list of system requirements:

Has anyone tried it?

Yes, i did install Windows 11 on a machine two days ago. With the yet limited testing i have done Premiere Pro works for simple edits and i have not dived into any comples projects yet. I could create a Blu-ray ISO with Encore so it seems to work. The biggest issue i feel today with Encore is: When will Adobe drop the ability to license it at all. They have no mercy when it comes to things like that.

 

Photoshop 22.5.1 and Photoshop Beta has issues with colors. As you can see in the image i selected red but it all ends up as different shades of grey in the Tool bar. I downloaded Gimp as a try and it has the same issues so for now it seems to be an issue with Win 11 per see rather than Photoshop/Gimp. (Yes, latest Nvidia drivers.)

 

But now when i alt-tabbed back to Photoshop the colors in the Tool bar updated to red.

 

One minor thing that annoys me is that the clock in Win 11 is aligned to the right rather than being in the centered over the actual date. This is not as noticable when using a 12-hour clock with AM and PM after the time, such as 5:14 PM, but is very noticable when using as 24-hour clock.

 

So yes @Richard M Knight it seems that Encore are still alive and kicking in Windows 11!

Right now the CS4 and earlier activation server is gone https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html?promoid=19SCDRQK but CS5/CS6 may still be activated... nobody knows how long until that activation server is removed
