Best OLDER version of Adobe Premiere for the Mac Should I Get?
I currently have a mid to late 2006 Macbook Pro with the following specs:
OS x version: 10.6.8
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,2
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
ATI Radeon X1600:Chipset Model: ATY,RadeonX1600
Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MBSo I have a client that is considering standardizing on Premiere Pro because they are on PCs. The video editing projects are not complicated. So my question is:
* Given the specs of my older Mac, which version of Adobe Premiere Pro would be best for me to install?
* Will my client, with a much more modern version of Premiere on the PC, be able to open my Premiere project files from the Mac which will be from a much older version?
Buying a newer Mac is probably not in the cards for me until a bit down the road, so I need a solution to get me through the first few months…thanks for your advice in advance

With Premiere you need to stick to the same version. If you don’t you’ll be stuck on XML. So if they have CC you need CC, if they’re on CS6 you need CS6. I’ll let you check compatibility between that software version and your own system.

Is there any chance that Premiere Pro CC on a PC will be able to import/open project files from Final Cut Pro 6 on a mac? If so then maybe the whole issue is not really one after all?

Premiere CC will happily take a Final Cut XML. Expect edits to be along for the ride, but don’t plan on text or effects traveling. Transitions and audio tracks will be hit and miss. I would advise against considering it a back-and-forth workflow, consider it a one time conversion.
