AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPrism has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build since at least version 9.0.1. The official download page at nchsoftware.com automatically detects your Mac's architecture and serves the correct installer — if you are still running an Intel-only version under Rosetta, visiting the download page and re-installing will get you the native build. Alternatively, if you installed Prism via the Mac App Store, opening the App Store and updating from there will pull the latest native version. After installation, your existing conversion queue and settings will carry over without any manual migration. Expect noticeably lower CPU usage and improved battery life during video encoding compared to the Rosetta-based Intel version.
