Adobe Premiere Elements Editor
Adobe Premiere Elements Editor is a consumer-focused, simplified video editing app from Adobe designed for home users and hobbyists who want to create polished videos without mastering professional video production tools. It offers timeline-based editing, effects, transitions, colour correction, audio mixing, and export to various formats. The app is positioned as the consumer edition of Adobe's broader Premiere product line, sitting between simple mobile video editors and professional Premiere Pro.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAdobe Premiere Elements has not been actively updated in recent years — the bundle version you have (13.1) dates from the early-to-mid 2010s, and Adobe has not shipped a native Apple Silicon build. The Intel-only build still runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so this app will stop working entirely on that release. If you rely on Premiere Elements, contact Adobe directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon update is planned; if not, you will need to migrate to an alternative editor before September 2028. For a straightforward replacement, consider DaVinci Resolve, a professional-grade free video editor that runs natively on Apple Silicon and handles timeline editing, colour grading and audio mixing with no learning curve for basic projects. For a simpler, more modern consumer experience, iMovie (included free with macOS) or Adobe's own Lightroom (which has gained basic video editing features) are also native options.
