Is Premiere Pro compatible with macOS (10.13) High Sierra? I'm afraid to update macOS to find out Premiere doesnt work well anymore. Happened twice with previous macOS updates.

    Hi Basb,

    I talked to product management. You should be good to go with macOS High Sierra right now. As an editor, I would not change the OS if I was in the middle of an important project, however.

    Let us know how it goes!


    Thanks,
    Kevin

    WOW, I wish I never hit the upgrade button.

    Having lots of work and no editing software to do a multicam edit. Wonder how mad my boss is going to be that I hit "upgrade"

    Adobe please find a work around for us mac users that were so stupid as to think this would work.

    Wow ... glad I happened to see all these posts on High Sierra ...

    bottom line .. what is the highest Mac OS you truly feel comfortable with right now .. i’m Still on Yosemite .. everything is and has been great ..    because of Resolve and other software I need to upgrade ...

    but how  high is the best right now ??

    thank you !!

    UPDATE:

    I might have found a solution

    So, changing to "Mercury Playback Engine (software only) makes the rendering take like x5 amount of time. Horribly slow.

    However, the problem seem to be, for me at least, connected to Premiere Pro.

    So if you in Premiere change to Software only and then go CMD+M (export) -> fix all your export settings -> Queue -> the project will open in Media Encoder instead. Now, close Premiere and in Media Encoder, change renderer to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acc (openCL).

    It does not crash for me and it feeeeels like it's a faster rendering than from (software only) in Premiere Pro.

    Plz give me your thoughts on this!

    Massive problems for me too.

    Upgraded to the full suite of Adobe CC -> two days later I upgraded to High Sierra. Bad timing!

    I tried to change the renderer but now exports are taking forever.

    Will change back to Avid until this problem is fixed. What a nightmare. Now I know never to update MacOS again.

    Hello everyone.

    Do not install High Sierra. Since I've updated, I can not use Premiere Pro more than 60 seconds until it crashes.

    I can not find a solution anywhere.

    Please fix this issue!

    I can no longer use multi-cam on my mac in high sierra.

    It crashes each time I attempt to enable multi-cam in the program window.

    New project on Premiere 2018, same results.

    Please help!

    I updated to High Sierra, reading several posts it should be OK. Macbook Pro 15' early 2013 here with NVIDIA GT 650M graphic card 16GB memory. Under Sierra no problems at all, with High Sierra PrPro always crashed during exporting project, using Metal or Open CL. Using software rendering only helped, no crashes during rendering, but PrPro randomly crashed by doing nothing several minutes to hours after.

    Same happened after upgrading to PrPro 2018.

    It helped only, when i downgraded to Sierra Again using Time Capsule and now no problems again

    Ok - this is what Adobe support is recommending.  Open a project and go to:

    File->Project settings->General->Renderer->Mercury playback software only

    This takes it to just render on the CPU (no GPU).  They say the engineers are aware of the issue and working on a permanent fix.
