Adobe Premiere Cs6 And Mac Os Catalina

broken image


Hopefully there won't be a reoccurrence of this in Catalina. Adobe premiere gratis mac. Premiere Pro moved to 64-bit back in 2008. That was Premiere Pro CS4, so chances are you are using a newer version than that.

Solutions to Adobe Catalina 64-bit Compatibility Problem

The easiest solution to this Adobe Catalina problem is updating all the Adobe apps to their 64-bit compliant versions. However, all the older 32-bit Adobe apps might not be compatible with the 64-bit architecture and in this case. It's best to continue using the macOS versions which are recommended for them.


  1. This week, Apple is released macOS Catalina (10.15), which fully ends support for 32-bit apps like InDesign CS6. So if you're one of the folks holding on to CS6 (or any earlier version of InDesign) to avoid becoming a Creative Cloud subscriber, it's essential that you do not upgrade to Catalina.
  2. CS6 will never be compatible with Catalina. We know there are some compatibility problems with Creative Cloud apps on Catalina. CC users would do well to hold off on upgrading to Catalina for at least a month or perhaps longer while the dust settles.

Best Alternatives for Adobe Apps Which Are Compatible With macOS Catalina / Big Sur

Adobe has also revealed that all of its applications have not been tested for compatibility with Catalina. Creative Cloud apps or Acrobat DC are some of the biggest examples of such apps which are hanging from a thin string in the Adobe and Catalina debate.

Some of the other apps which are facing compatibility concerns are Presenter Video Express, Adobe Captivate, Speedgate and Fuse. HOWEVER, the same cannot be said about the rest of the applications mentioned above.

In this case, users can switch over to newer apps which offer similar functionality and are compatible with the changed OS of Apple platform.

  • If your Adobe is not working on Mac, then you can switch over the 32-bit Creative Suite of Apps to Creative Cloud.
  • Users of Adobe Fuse on the other hand can move over with Mixamo.
  • Users of Adobe Presenter Video Express can feel well at ease after switching over to Adobe Captivate.

By now, it seems no problem for Adobe premiere on Catalina, but - if you have installed some 32-bit plug-ins on Premiere, they'll not be able to use. You are still likely in need of alternatives for this video editor or the plug-ins and wait for the Adobe Catalina problem totally gets solved.

Instructions for virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOS

Virtualising Adobe Creative Suite with Mac OS X / OS X / macOS

The ability to virtualise Adobe Creative Suite is important and very useful as it is an easy way to run these older 32-bit applications that do not run on macOS 10.15 or later. MacStrategy presents this special guide to running Adobe Creative Suite within a virtualised Mac OS X / OS X / macOS environment.

Virtualisation Software

  • Parallels Desktop [£79.99 inc VAT - 14 day free trial available]
  • VMWare Fusion [£70.00 inc VAT - 30 day free trial available]
  • Oracle VirtualBox [FREE - Open source under GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2]

Virtualise Mac OS X / OS X / macOS

You can consider virtualising:However, we recommend running the following versions of macOS / OS X / Mac OS X as Virtual Machines for 32-bit app support:
  • Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (Server) - costs money but you may already be running/want to run this to be able to use PowerPC/Rosetta based applications
  • OS X 10.7 - OS X 10.8 is better
  • OS X 10.8 - costs money but if you already own it/want to pay for it, it runs very efficiently in a virtual machine and there are few internet/iCloud based services clogging it up
  • OS X 10.9 - was very kludgy and slow when installed on a hard disk
  • OS X 10.10 - was slow when installed on a hard disk, does not support latest Apple internet/iCloud based services
  • OS X 10.11 - free, supports most internet/iCloud based services
  • macOS 10.12 - free, supports most internet/iCloud based services
  • macOS 10.13 - buggy, slow, still being revised by Apple, 10.13.4 or later will give you repeated warnings when trying to run 32-bit applications
  • macOS 10.14 - but will give you repeated warnings when trying to run 32-bit applications
NOTE: We have tested Adobe Creative Suite running in the following environments:
  • Mac mini (2014 model) with macOS 10.14 Mojave running in 64-bit only test mode and using Parallels Desktop 14.1.2, VMWare Fusion 11.0.2 and VirtualBox 6.0.4 with OS X 10.8.5

Adobe Creative Suite 32-bit vs 64-bit

CS3 - all primary CS3 apps are 32-bit.
CS4 - Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects are 64-bit*, all other primary apps including InDesign are 32-bit
CS5 - Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects are 64-bit*, all other primary apps including InDesign are 32-bit
CS5.5 - Bridge, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects are 64-bit*, all other primary apps including InDesign are 32-bit
CS6.0 - Bridge, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects are 64-bit*, all other primary apps including InDesign are 32-bit
* But see this blog post.

Adobe Creative Suite

You can consider virtualising:

Adobe Cs6 Mac

  • Adobe Creative Suite CS
  • Adobe Creative Suite CS2
However, you should note the following:
  • The online licensing servers for Adobe Creative Suite CS2/CS3 are no longer active. You will need a special version of the installer to install the software:
    • Adobe Creative Suite CS3 (Adobe ID required to obtain the download/new serial number)
  • Adobe Creative Suite CS6 requires online activation and login with an Adobe ID
  • We do not recommend running the Adobe Acrobat Pro software that came with Creative Suite as all those old versions are no longer supported with security updates. If you must run Acrobat Proconsider installing a newer, supported version of Adobe Reader and setting PDF documents to automatically open it - see our Keeping Adobe Software ProductsUp-To-Date about this.

  • Installing CS3 on macOS 10.12 Sierra or later may require a manual workaround to get it installed
  • Some Adobe CS3 applications erroneously report that they need Java to run - you can install Java 6 or trick OS X into thinking Java is installed
