Premiere Pro is now kind of available on Windows on Arm

Days after teasing Windows on Arm users with the possibility of accessing Illustrator, Adobe has made a giant leap by allowing Premiere Pro to run on Arm gadgets. This step opens up new opportunities for people using ARM-based Windows computers like those with Snapdragon X series chips.

However, unlike Photoshop and Illustrator, Premiere Pro, which has become ARM-native, runs through Microsoft’s emulation layer. This point might surprise some because emulation could affect performance compared to the native operations of Intel or AMD systems.

Adobe planned to release an ARM-native version of Premiere Pro in July, but the schedule changed, and users still have to use the emulated version.

It’s worth noting that running Premiere Pro on ARM-based Windows devices was impossible before this. For people who are ready to try it out, installing Premiere Pro is simple and can be done through the Creative Cloud app if a subscription is available.

According to reports, however, Premiere Pro does an average job when run on Snapdragon X-based PCs. This would be good enough for tasks that aren’t very demanding. For more powerful editing, the newest beta of DaVinci Resolve, which is entirely ARM-native, might work better.
