Adobe announces today that Premiere Pro finally runs natively on the M1 Macs with up to 80% faster performance than Intel-based Macs, after more than six months on beta.
This update also includes M1 support for Media Encoder and Character Animator. While Premiere Rush and Audition received M1 support in April and May, respectively, After Effects is set to receive a public beta for M1 support later this year.
