System Compatibility Report
To ensure your system works smoothly with Adobe Premiere Pro, there is a new feature: the system compatibility report. This can be found under the "Help" menu. By clicking on it, you can identify various issues that may affect your user experience, such as outdated graphics card drivers.
The report also shows you if you have an unsupported graphics card or other hardware problems, and gives you the option to be directed to the manufacturers to update the required drivers. If there are serious issues, you can export the error report and share it in the Adobe Support Forums to get assistance from specialists.
New Metal Renderer
Another innovative feature can be found in the "File" menu under "Preferences". Here you now have the option to select the Metal renderer. This improves GPU acceleration and ensures that your effects and previews run more smoothly. Be sure to activate the Metal renderer to take advantage of the GPU.
Media Cache Management
Managing the media cache is crucial for your working experience in Premiere Pro. Until now, you could only delete the media cache by restarting Premiere Pro. With the new feature, this can now be done directly through the preferences. This allows for immediate release of memory without having to close the program.
So if you are constantly working on larger projects and want to keep an eye on your system's performance, it is advisable to regularly manage the cache using the new features to avoid unnecessary performance losses.
Improved File and Preview Management
A very useful new feature is the ability to preview files more quickly. Through the thumbnail view, you can now navigate through your files using an efficient scrubbing method. Premiere Pro saves the previews for you, so you do not lose control of your work even when scrolling quickly.
This prevents potentially overloaded RAM and ensures that your preview runs continuously, even when you are working on multiple projects.
