Does Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 support the graphic found in the new late 2012 27" iMac?

Hi there guys! I´m very, very, VERY close to buy a full configuration iMac (the late 2012 27" model) but I have reed in different forums that Adobe Premier Pro CS6 and other applications from Adobe such as After Effects DO NOT support the graphic cards found in the new iMacs....


is this true??????


i really wouldn´t understad the logic behid the decission of picking a graphic card that is not supported by one of the leading video editing sofrware used today.... specially when this computer is suppoused to be an Editing Animal....


I hope this rumor is not real..... then I can be just... really happy and get my new desktop computer and work, work, work, work


thanks for your attention

iMac, iOS 6.0.2

Hi there Daniel, thanks for paying attention to this subject. Today I got an answer from Larry Jordan from his blog (I believe he is one of the "videoguys" from http://videoguys.com and he said that actually adobe does not support those GPU that we will find in the new late 2012 iMacs. However it seems there is a way to make that work out.....


here is his review on his new iMac, at the very botton you will see comments from people and his answers... one of the last coments is mine regarding this subject, this is what I asked and his answer:


  1. mGabo Jan 18, 2013 08:50Hi there Larry, I reed in your other post on your iMac that Adobe didn´t support the Nvidia graphic cards found in this model, I have been asking in forums about this and people say Adobe does supports them……Do you know if Adobe now works fine with these cards?
  2. User uploaded fileLarry Jan 18, 2013 11:10When I contacted Adobe about this a couple months ago, just after the release of the new iMacs, I was told that Adobe did not support the graphics card at that time. There is, however, a workaround, which I’m hoping to write up this weekend.Larry

so far I haven´t find anyone who can expalin to me how can I get these Nvidia GPUs working with adobe premier and aplications alike from adobe.

Why don't you contact Adobe to see if they are compatible or not I'd be totally surprised to find out they don't. Another thing to do is visit your local Apple Store and see if any of the demo machines have those apps running, then you can see them in the flesh. Apple tends to load a lot of apps on the floor models for just that reason.

I have tried to contact adobe but they eather take a long time to replay or is just a bit difficult, I did consult Larry Jordan cause he is a well known Video Editing professor and he know what he is talking about. I´m waiting on his reply to see how I can enable Premier to use the GPUs.


By the way, premier and adobe aplications do run on the iMac (they just don´t make use of the GPU) which means you end up using only the processor power which in this case is a powerfull one but I really want to enable the GPU power as well with these applications...


in the meantime I think I´m gonna try the 10.0.7 FCP update
