Adobe Systems Corporation has long been creating cool software for its users, which is used in their work by specialists from various industries. Software development by the company began in 1982. During this time, a huge number of applications have come out, which are difficult to count.
Popularity
Among the popular ones are Reader, Photoshop, Flash, Lightroom and Premiere Pro. These are the main leaders of the company, which are always popular and are considered the most popular. Their popularity is caused by universality, since almost every user needs applications for reading electronic publications, watching videos or editing images.
Among others, many of the company's applications target a specific industry. So, there is a software package designed for web developers. There are desktop publishing systems for layout and editing. There are tons of software designed to create interactive games, etc.
About the program
The system requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro did not make this program the most popular, since a weak PC does not fully cope with it. Nevertheless, this is a favorite program for non-linear video editing. She began her service back in 2003. It was then that the first version of Adobe Premiere 7 came out. The first two versions were available for owners of Windows PCs. "Apple" owners began to use software from the third version.
Initially, developers began to release a separate program, but starting with the third version, they decided to include it in Adobe Creative Suite 3. For all the time, the software has noticeably undergone changes, has turned from a simple system for video editing, into a multifunctional platform.
Using
Before we learn all about the system requirements of the Adobe Premiere Pro program, we will figure out who uses it in their work. If you think about it, it’s obvious that the main users are among those who work with video. So, most video bloggers have acquired this software and use it in creating content on their channels.
In addition to them, often large companies, television channels and programs, such as the BBC or The Tonight Show, create their materials using this program. It is also known that software is used for editing films. So, in the application from Adobe were created: "Social Network", "Through the dust to victory", "Deadpool" and others.
Development
More than 40 versions of this program are known. Each of them has its own recommended system requirements for Adobe Premiere Pro. The first version of the program came out without the word Pro in the name. In general, the corporation’s policy involves the announcement of new items in April, after which all observers and partners can issue reviews and advertisements. In June, an updated version appears that can be installed on a PC for any user.
Further in September, developers hold another announcement, but already update certain software components, or bug fixes. Then in October or November, the “update” arrives on the computers of the owners of the software. In connection with reviews and complaints, if any, throughout the entire time the program can load changes, bug fixes, etc.
First samples
It is difficult to understand the sequence and number of versions. It is known that for the first time they learned about software in 1991. Then the first version for Mac OS was released. Nobody knew yet that Adobe Premiere Pro would appear. System requirements were announced for Adobe Premiere. The PC had to work with VideoSpigot and PICT formats. It became possible to create films with a resolution of 160x120. Audio was supported 8-bit, and the system was supposed to output to a video cassette.
The next version for Apple devices was released in 1992. It was equipped with great functionality, and therefore stricter system requirements were required from the PC. The software now supported capturing audio and video in QuickTime, helping to create captions, sequences, speed up and slow down, etc. The application supported up to 49 special effects, 5 filters for audio, and 41 filters for video. In the third version, which appeared in 1993, the number of video tracks increased to 97 pieces, as well as audio tracks up to 99. The system had to withstand batch processing, which was a demanding task.
By thumb
Windows versions began to appear in 1993. It was hard to understand what the system requirements for Adobe Premiere Pro would be for the software to be optimized and comfortable. Support was needed for AVI, AIFF, and WAV, and for BMP, DIB, PICT, PCX, TIFF images. Already in the second version they add support for various technologies that worked on video capture, import, extensions, etc.
Since the summer of 1994, versions for Windows and Mac OS appear almost simultaneously. Adobe Premiere version four extends the user experience. Now you can overlay almost 100 video tracks, a trimming window and a dynamic preview appear. For "apple" owners there is an option with editing filters, batch capture, support for the new format. The Windows version, on the contrary, is doing everything to optimize the previous version of the program and expand its capabilities on other platforms.
So, until 2003, the developer improved versions one by one. Starting with the fifth revision, a joint program for Windows and Mac OS is released. A huge number of new features and technologies. Work with projects is increasing, tools are being optimized, etc.
New breath
In 2003, everyone quickly became interested in the system requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro. The first version makes a real leap in technological terms. She receives an updated design, as well as completely rewritten software source code. Now the user is given a wide selection of tools for color correction, customization of hot buttons, the new Media Encoder and a lot of formats.
From 2004 to 2006, new updates took place, which, in general, although not very dramatic, still help the user improve the work in the program. From the main appears editing DVD and HDV, Adobe Clip Notes and After Effects. Those computers that are equipped with a built-in graphics chip carry out enhanced processing.
Adobe Creative Suite
The appearance of this software package has led not only to changes in the technical component, but also to the name of the program. The first version of the software suite appeared in 2003. But it was in 2006 that Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 appeared in it. Thanks to the release of Adobe Creative Suite, users were able, in addition to offline work, to use online, publishing their projects, using documentation, etc.
Up to CS6, Adobe Premiere Pro practically did not change the system requirements for a PC. In his versions and their revisions, he added support for new models of video cards, synchronized work with other proprietary software, the functioning of new formats, permissions and extensions. New video effects and filters for audio began to appear. We decided to introduce in the application work with video cameras of different models and support for their metadata.
On the last journey
In 2012, the new version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 became known. System requirements were optimal for many users. Therefore, this version of the program has become a priority for a long time, despite the advent of a new version. The software functioned on both Windows and Mac OS.
In the first case, the processor could not be weaker than the versions of Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II, and the capacity of the system should have been 64-bit. Versions of the operating system are available for installation: from the 7th to 8.1. It was recommended that you have 8 GB of RAM, but you could install the program on systems with 4 GB. On the hard drive had to free 4 GB of memory. To save or use files, it was necessary to allocate more space for them - up to 10 GB.
The screen resolution of 1280 x 900 made it more comfortable to work with software. Railway was supposed to be fast - from 7200 rpm. To use all the functions, it is important to activate the program and install QuickTime, OpenGL 2.0, etc.
System requirements Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac OS put forward almost identical for Windows. It was desirable for the processor to have several cores, operating system versions starting from 10.6.8. Otherwise, the requirements remained with regard to RAM and internal memory, the speed of the railway, the presence of the necessary software, etc.
Adobe Creative Cloud
This set has replaced the previous Adobe Creative Suite. Now all components began to be supplemented by another abbreviation: instead of CS, it became CC. This application package has been completely redesigned in a functional way, but all available software remained the same. They also slightly changed the functions, added new tools and technology support.
Firstly, the user can purchase this kit and gain access to all proprietary programs and cloud storage. Secondly, when working with any software, the user can save all the necessary materials to the cloud, or exchange them with others over the network. Thirdly, everyone can install both all components of the package, and each individually, without clogging the system with unnecessary software.
New
Adobe Premiere Pro CC system requirements have not been set too high. If you look closely, you will notice that they are no different from the requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. The new version also needed a processor based on Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II, RAM required 4 GB, 8 GB recommended. Software required 4 GB of internal memory, and another 10 GB to store files. For the QuickTime function to work correctly, it was necessary to install the software of the same name.
The 2014 version of Adobe Premiere Pro did not change the system requirements, but a whole list of supported GPUs appeared. So, for Windows, in order to increase the hardware acceleration of graphics, it was recommended to use video cards from the GeForce GT 650M for laptops and the GeForce GTX 470 for stationary systems. The Quadro series of accelerators began with the 2000 PC version and ended with the Quadro K6000. Also a huge list was presented for owners of graphics cards from AMD. In this case, the system should not have worked with a card younger than the version of Radeon HD 6750.
2015
The next version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 system requirements changed slightly. The PC still had to acquire a multi-core chip in order to quickly execute all the necessary commands. RAM was recommended 16 GB, although it was possible to use a system with 8 GB. The same amount was needed to install software on a computer. The list of video cards has also been updated to speed up the graphics processor.
The release of new accelerators immediately launched support for their implementation in the company's product. Therefore, all the latest versions, as always, worked without problems with new video cards. But support for older accelerators was declining, as older versions could hardly cope with updated components of the software platform from Adobe.
Adobe Premiere Pro 2015 updated the system requirements for accelerators due to more current versions of video cards. Versions of NVIDIA Quadro did not start already with the 2000 model, but with the more powerful K1100M. Also, a couple of versions of video cards were left overboard in the GeForce series. Support began with the GeForce GTX 680. The list of video cards from AMD has also been updated. The program could be installed on systems with an accelerator no younger than FirePro S7000, Radeon R9 280, Radeon HD 8470, etc.
2016
Often on the Internet they look for the system requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2016, but do not find it. Users are wondering why there is nothing about it. Could it really be that the company released a version of 2015, and then immediately 2017. It turned out that this really could be.
With what it is connected, it is difficult to explain. But it is worth noting that after the release of the 2015 version, over the year 4 more revisions appeared, with changed characteristics. Therefore, there was no time for the release of the 2016 version. The corporation decided to skip it and at the end of 2016 announced a new product, but with the name of 2017.
2017
The release came in April 2017. The program has acquired many interesting features that have not previously been encountered. Facilitated work with graphic objects and captions on video. A new header constructor has appeared. It was formed on the basis of the core visualization of text materials that are developed in Photoshop and Illustrator. Using the cloud and other library access, you can let other users view animated graphics templates.
Looking at the new parameters of the new product, you understand that the Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2017 system requirements for a PC must form space ones. Since the use of new audio effects with integration in Adobe Audition should require a lot of system resources. Also, creating audio with special effects for virtual reality platforms is a resource-intensive task for a computer. For owners of touch panels, Pro Touch Bar or Surface Dial is especially good news - now their support is implemented in the new version.
It turned out that the system requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro 2017 are practically no different from those that were needed for the 2015 program. A multi-core processor is also needed, support for updated operating systems has appeared. RAM still needs 16 GB, although you can use 8 GB. The program needs as much to install into the system.
The display for working with software can also have a resolution of 1280 x 800, although 1920 x 1080 is recommended, since it is possible to work with graphics in 4K format, and to do this correctly and efficiently, you need a high-quality monitor.
Working with Adobe Stock has replenished with new features. Now you can add an artistic resource there, while using the technological processes of publication. Thus, it becomes possible to work with huge masses of buyers, as well as the easy receipt of significant royalties. When providing general access to one of their projects, rendering and sharing of videos on popular sites occurs immediately in the program.
Problems
Despite the fact that each Adobe Premiere Pro product provides the minimum system requirements for each user, nevertheless, for more efficient operation, it is necessary that the system fully complies with this software. Otherwise, no one is safe from the appearance of various kinds of errors that are difficult to foresee.
So, if you have an outdated audio system on your PC, then the sounds in the clips that you imported may disappear. Also, users who are already using the new version noticed errors in synchronization with Audition. Sometimes there are various problems with special effects, but this can most likely be attributed not to the compatibility of the program with the system, but to its errors that could not be fixed.
