As an alternative, we recommend Premiere on iPhone; a version for Android is currently also in development. For more information, visit the Premiere Rush Discontinuation FAQ.

We are working to ensure that our other apps run natively on macOS computers with Apple silicon, but release dates for all apps are not yet available. We will update this page as more details are available.

Apps that run using Rosetta 2

If you use a Mac with Apple silicon, you can install certain Adobe apps with Rosetta 2 technology. These apps may take longer to open initially as Rosetta 2 translates them for your computer.

 Adobe Captivate 11.8.2
  Adobe Dimension
  Substance 3D Stager
Note

When deploying apps for an enterprise or using stand-alone installers, ensure that Rosetta 2 is already installed on user machines.

Apple devices with Intel processors

Adobe will continue to support Apple devices with Intel processors. We have no plans to discontinue support for these devices.
