I basically had some videos where people had shot portrait, and I needed to create a blurred background to fill a 16:9 frame.

In Premiere, I had a strange glitch in a render that didn’t appear in playback and scrubbing on the timeline (see figure 1). Playback and scrubbing worked for the rest of the timeline, just not linked compositions. I’ve had playback and scrubbing freezing on dynamically linked AE compositions. For example, there are a couple of GIF clips on this page that I had to do on my desktop PC, because importing video into Photoshop 2022 on the native Apple Silicon version isn’t available yet (sure, you can export from Media Encoder, but you don’t have control of bit-depth or dithering and therefore filesize).Īfter Effects 2022 is only available as a beta on Apple Silicon, and the Intel version running through Rosetta 2 doesn’t appear to talk nicely with the Apple Silicon version of Premiere 2022. Thankfully, though, I’ve had my PC desktop to fall back on, because Creative cloud on Apple Silicon isn’t great.Īpple Silicon CC apps are glitchy or missing features. I’ve been using this MacBook for two weeks for client projects. I CANNOT RECOMMEND the 2021 MacBook Pro at this point in time (November 2021) if you’re a Creative Cloud user considering this as a primary workstation. I said this was almost the perfect laptop. Jaw-dropping screen and sound, tactile keyboard, robust build, phenomenal battery life, quick and snappy, and this base model gives my desktop PC a run for its money in everything except graphical performance. It’s also the first laptop where I don’t feel compromises have been made to keep down costs. I’m now a former Apple computer detractor, because Apple have actually built a computer that differentiates them from the crowd, and that’s thanks to the M1 chip. I’ve only ever had Windows laptops, and I’ve been an Apple computer detractor since my 2011 27″ iMac’s performance was superseded by a factor of 2 a year later by an ASUS laptop half its price. First off, the laptop itself is incredible.
