To squeeze the best out of this software, it is vital to identify whether your system is up-to-date with all the prerequisites. If your PC hardware requirement is not up to the mark, you have to consider an upgrade.

This guide will give the information about-:

• CPU
• RAM
• GPU
• Hard Disk
• Processor
• Monitor Resolution
• Network Storage Connection, etc.

So without any further discussion, let’s proceed!

System Requirements For Windows

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The central processing unit is the key element when it comes to using Premiere Pro efficiently. It makes a great impact on the overall performance of your PC. As per the research, the 6th generation or newer CPU performs well for the video transition of Premiere Pro. If your budget is quite tight, it would be better to go with an Intel core processor like i9 10900K, or i9 11900K; otherwise, choose AMD Thread Ripper 3970X.

Video Card (GPU)

According to the stats, Adobe has increased the graphical processing unit over the last few years. As a result, a minimum of 2GB GPU VRAM is needed to run Premiere Pro, but to get the most out of it, you are required to install a 4GB GPU in your system. Many people have a myth that using multiple GPUs improves the performance of Premiere Pro significantly. However, it is not so- Only minimal performance gain has been seen by installing more than 1 GPU. Therefore, it is vital to pick a graphic card carefully while using this video editing software. Both NVIDIA and AMD graphic cards perform well for Premiere Transition.

You can choose any of the following:

• NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000
• AMD Radeon Pro W5500
• NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000
• AMD Radeon Pro W5700
• NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000
• AMD Radeon Pro W3200
• NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000
• AMD Radeon Pro SSG
• NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000
• AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 and the list goes on

Hard Drive (Storage)

Some people overlooked the storage while working with video editing tools. Although CPU and graphic cards are responsible for all the editing, optimum storage is essential to keep the work. To maximize Adobe Premiere Pro Transitions‘ performance, it is recommended to use SDD, NVMe, and traditional hard drives. Out of these, traditional hard drives are more pocket-friendly but not as fast as SSD and NVMe. What suits you best entirely depends on your requirements and budget. At least 8Gb of hard disk space is what Premiere Pro needs for the installation. Apart from this, a bit more free space is required for other processing.

• Operating System: If you want to use Adobe Premiere Pro, your laptop must have a 64-bit Windows 10 version or later.

• Sound Card: High-quality audio is necessary for every video editing software. There is an extensive range of sound cards you choose from; however, it should be ASIO compatible.

• Resolution: As per the guidance of Adobe Premiere Pro, monitor resolution should be 1920 x 1080 or greater.

• Network: A high-speed broadband internet connection is a necessity to operate the Adobe video editing tool.

• RAM: 8 GB RAM is essential to run Premiere Pro on Windows.

System Requirements For Mac 

• CPU: Intel 6th generation or newer CPU is necessary to run Premiere Pro transitions on MAC PC.

• RAM: Like windows, in MAC OS-driven devices a minimum of 8 GB RAM is required. For high definition, 16 GB and for 4K media, 32 GB is needed.

• Hard Drive: To install Premiere Pro on a MAC PC, its hard drive should be 8GB or above.

• Operating System: To add cool effects to the video, macOS v10.15 (Catalina) or an advanced version is advisable.

• Resolution: Monitor resolution should be 1920 x 1080 or greater.

• Network: 1 GB Ethernet for high-definition videos and 10 GB Ethernet for 4K media.

Final Verdict-:

Hope you found the above information useful and will give attention to the discussed elements before installing Premiere Pro on your computer.
