About Adobe Premiere Pro

Premiere Pro’s requirements scale sharply with source footage. HD editing is undemanding; 4K, 6K and 8K raw formats push both VRAM and system memory hard, and hardware encode/decode support on the GPU makes a large practical difference.

Can my laptop run Adobe Premiere Pro?

The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the GPU with 8 GB of GPU mem named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
