Upcoming system requirements changes for our video and audio apps

We will update our system requirements with the next major release of our video applications. This includes the 23.0 versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Character Animator, and Media Encoder.

New Minimum OS Requirements

Starting with version 23.0 of our applications, Mac users will need to run macOS Big Sur (version 11) or later. Windows users must 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

Note:

Support for macOS Catalina (version 10.5) will be discontinued. It will not be possible to install the 23.0 versions of our video applications on macOS 10.15 or older.

Upcoming GPU support changes

CUDA graphics

You'll need current NVIDIA drivers to use the next major release versions of our video applications with CUDA.  The 23.x versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder will not run on CUDA graphics without current NVIDIA drivers (452.39 or later). 

Discontinuing support for NVIDIA Kepler series GPUs

Starting in late 2022, 23.x versions of Premiere Pro will no longer support NVIDIA Kepler series graphics cards. Kepler series GPUs are now over 10 years old. NVIDIA discontinued support for Kepler-series Quadro notebook GPUs in 2020 and will end support for Kepler-series Quadro desktop GPUs in January 2023.  

NVIDIA Kepler graphics cards include Quadro K series GPUs (see links above), GeForce desktop GPUs, and these GeForce notebook GPUs.

Note:

If you install Premiere Pro with an unsupported GPU, Premiere Pro will still run, but rendering will be software-only, slowing down performance.
