We will update our system requirements with the next major release of our video applications. This includes the 24.0 versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Character Animator, and Media Encoder.
New minimum OS requirements
Starting with version 24.0 of our applications, Mac users will need to run macOS Monterey (version 12) or later. Windows users must be on Windows 10 (64-bit) version 22H2 (or later) or Windows 11.
We recommend running our applications to be used on the latest operating systems:
- macOS Ventura (version 13).
- Windows 10 (64-bit) version 22H2 or Windows 11 version 22H2.
- Support for macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) will be discontinued. Installing the 24.0 versions of our video applications on macOS 11.0 or older will not be possible.
- The 24.0 versions of our video applications will not be supported on Rosetta. Mac users can continue to use the 24.0 version on Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac.
New processor requirements
The 24.0 versions of our video applications will require processors with Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2)
support. On Windows, it will not be possible to install the 24.0 versions on Intel® 3rd Generation of processors or older (as well as older AMD processors). On Mac, the 24.0 versions will not install on Mac Pro 2013 or older systems.
Upcoming GPU support changes
CUDA graphics
You'll need current NVIDIA drivers to use our video applications' next major release versions with CUDA. The 24.x versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder will not run on CUDA graphics without current NVIDIA drivers (522.25 or later).
Discontinuing support for NVIDIA Kepler series GPUs
Starting in late 2023, 24.x versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Media Encoder 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 (view links above), some GeForce desktop GPUs, and these GeForce notebook GPUs.
If you install the application on machines with an unsupported GPU card or drivers, the app will still run, but rendering will be software-only, slowing down performance.
