Adobe Updates Premiere Pro to Run Natively on M1 Macs
Adobe today announced it has updated its popular video editing app Premiere Pro with native support for Macs powered by the M1 chip, including the base 13-inch MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, 24-inch iMac, and Mac mini.
Creative Cloud apps like Premiere Pro run over 80% faster on an M1 Mac compared to an identically configured Intel-based Mac on average, according to Adobe.
Adobe plans to extend native support for Apple silicon to its After Effects app with a public beta later this year, after updating its Illustrator, InDesign, and Lightroom Classic apps to run natively on M1 Macs early last month.
Premiere Pro has also received a new Speech to Text feature, offering an integrated and automated workflow for creating transcriptions and captions.
Adobe detailed more new Premiere Pro and After Effects features in a blog post.

And then in News people love Final Cut because it's just unmatchable for speed and stability. It's actually hard not to love Final Cut as an editor if you just get past the initial misconceptions. Even though big film and tv projects only want you to edit in Avid.
But man Final Cut is just SOOO fast. Just ran a test of the exact same project, it took 34 minutes in Premiere and it took 2 minutes and 35 seconds to render out in Final Cut.
I'm just so confused as to why people use Premiere. I've always wanted to know. It's slower than all the other editors, It's not able to be as bare metal native like Final Cut, It's not an industry standard like Avid, it's not free like Resolve. It's not stable and it's sooooo slow. Is it just what people are used to. I've always been curious why people would actively choose to work in it.
