Platform suitability? iMac9,1 – for Adobe Premiere Pro CS5
I have an iMac9,1, details here :
(iMac “Core 2 Duo” 2.66 20-Inch (Early 2009) MB417LL/A, iMac9,1, A1224, 2266)
The machine is currently fitted with 2GB RAM.
I would like to give this machine away to a youngster who is editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
I am interested in knowing if this machine has enough horsepower to enable him to work with this software successfully? He’s a teenager, so we don’t need to be anticipating huge files or editing complexity (er, I think).
Thank you – Grant.

Hi Grant,
Here’s a link to the minimum system requirements: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/system-requirements.html#main_Adobe_Premiere_Pro_CS5_system_requirements
See these caveats from users in the Adobe forum: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/810750I’d say that the system you describe is at the lower end of the scale for a suitable computer for Premiere Pro CS5. Long GOP footage, like H.264, AVCHD, etc. might be difficult to handle. You may want to do some tests first.
Thanks,
