When will Premiere Pro become native on Apple's new M1 chip?

I'd like to know if there are any plans for premiere pro to become a native app on Apple's M1. It's super tempting to purchase Final Cut for the insane performance it boasts. But I really like using premiere w/ AE. 

 

Answering this question would help many people make decisions on weather to purchase the new Mac or purchase Final Cut. Thanks.

    If you read up a little, people have stated that Adobe has released a beta for Apple Silicon, meaning they are being proactive and we should see a native version of Premiere Pro in 2021! Great news, I hope AE is on the same path.

      BETA version available: DISCUSS: Premiere Pro on Apple Silicon M1 - Adobe Support Community - 11691346

       

      "Our team is working hard on a version of Premiere Pro that will run natively on Apple’s new Apple Silicon based M1 processor. The first public Beta is available today and we invite you to test it out! Your feedback is welcome. We will be updating the Beta frequently as new builds become available."

        Thank you Averdahl!

        What a bonus for pre-Xmas lockdown!

        I've opened the BETA and it works well.  C4K 10 bit MOV files now run smoothly - well doen Adobe!

        Warp Stabilizer is almost 2x faster - others may be able to report on this better.

          And... can you imagine... the amazing M1 performance is on the entry level models.

           

          Good things!

          Man to be honest it pisses me off that Adobe disregards mac users and doesn't build a strong relationship with Apple. There's a whole lot of video editors that enjoy using Apple and Adobe suite.

           

          You're right Final Cut is terrible compared to Premiere. But working in a slow programme is more limiting than working in a limited programme.

           

          Adobe's relationship with Apple will be loosing them clientele.

           

          It's just a shame After Effects is so f'ing good.

          The problem is that there is still a lot of legacy code remaining in the current versions of Premiere Pro. Some of which partially broke compatibility with newer versions of macOS, regardless of whether the Mac that's installed in is running an M1 chip or an Intel chip. 10.15 (Catalina) caused major problems in Adobe programs on initial release. And version 11 (Big Sur) broke this relationship still further, forcing software makers to scramble for compatibility. And Adobe (at least with Premiere Pro) has been struggling mightily to keep up with this sudden change.

           

          And what makes this worse is that the current version of Premiere Pro is merely a point release of a version that's now more than a year old. As such, the Mac version of Premiere Pro was written strictly for Intel-powered Macs. Getting this program to run on an M1-powered Mac requires Rosetta emulation (which is disabled by default on installation of a third-party program).

          You're right - with Premiere being such a popular Adobe item like like LR - they should have made it a priority.  

          LR 4.1 on the M1 is fantastic just like Final Cut, it is just a pity Premieer is a much better Video editor than Final Cut.

           

          The M1 chip for everythign else on a Mac is amazing and on an AIR is silent unlike the MacBook Pro 16" which runs Premiere but UNFORTUNATELY only with its fan SCREAMING.

          Looks like I'll be answering my own question:

          After a whole morning of testing - the lag issue in Premiere on the M1 relates to C4K 10 bit files from a Lumix S5 - all other files work fine - in fact performance is REALLY perfect on the M1.

           

          Issue solved.

            I think those source files would cause trouble regardless of which processor you're running Premiere Pro on.

             

            On the Mac side, always consider an all ProRes workflow.  As that's supported as a Smart Rendering CODEC in Premiere Pro, you get performance gains across the board.

            No word, but this might provide insight to Adobe's priorities.

            "Adobe says it plans to keep optimizing for Arm and M1 devices in future releases, so we’ll likely see additional Creative Suite apps arrive with Arm support soon."

            "While Photoshop and Lightroom are the primary apps for photographers in the Adobe ecosystem, the company has many other heavily-used apps, such as Premiere, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and much more. As of writing, Adobe has not offered a timeline for other Adobe apps built for the M1 chip."

            You will have to wait until the next MAJOR version of Premiere Pro (15.x) and After Effects (18.x) to be released and become available. None of the current versions of either of these two Adobe Creative Cloud programs are verified compatible with macOS 11.x "Big Sur" yet, regardless of whether the Mac platform is M1-based or Intel-based. And this is because the latest currently available versions of both programs are merely refreshes of the existing 2020 versions that were released in November of last year.

             

            The 2021-designated versions, such as Photoshop, are compatible with Big Sur (at least on Intel-powered Mac platforms).

             

            As for the Mac version of Premiere Pro that's native to the ARM architecture, that will not occur for several years. The next major version of Premiere Pro and After Effects will begin a several-years-long transition from the x86-64 architecture to the ARM architecture for Macs. Adobe clearly does not want to alienate the existing Intel Mac user base just for native M1 support. Had Adobe jumped straight into native M1 support, then the Mac versions of Premiere Pro and After Effects would have become completely unusable on Intel-pwered Macs, some of which are still available new at retail today.

             

            By the way, don't expect stellar performance with the first shipping M1-powered Macs yet: All of the ones that are currently shipping perform only about as well as a typical 4-year-old quad-core CPU-powered desktop PC that's been equipped with a decent GPU of its era.

              Thanks for your answer.

               

              I need a laptop to use for on-the-go editing. I understand it's not going to match a desktop but no laptops do at the price range they're offering. The new macbook's are pretty cheap and seem like the best video editing laptop option for me at this time.

               

              I heard Davinci is going to be optimised right away. I've wanted to try that software for a while so maybe now's the time to drop the £200 for that. I'll still need my creative cloud license though for AE and other programmes. Will miss the dynamic link if Davinci proves a winner.

              Three distinct models of M1-powered Macs are currently available: The MacBook Air, some versions of the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the Mac Mini. And among MacBook Airs, there are two submodels: One with a 7-core GPU and one with an 8-core GPU. You can guess that the cheaper 7-core-GPU model is less powerful than the pricier 8-core-GPU model. In terms of average GPU scores (in PugetBench for Premiere Pro), the integrated M1 GPUs will perform roughly equivalent to a GeForce GTX 1060 and a GeForce GTX 1070, respectively, for the 7-core and 8-core GPUs.
