How to run Adobe Premiere Pro 2024 on Wine (Linux)

[MattKC]

this doesnt seem to work for premiere pro 2025 on linux mint

I have managed to get Premiere Pro 2025 to run with some more DLL transplants, but not well. It seems Adobe rewrote the UI in (iirc) Direct2D and I couldn't find any way to get it to display properly. For now I'd say stick to 2024.

I've rewritten this post since I don't wish to double post, and my first post was low effort. I've been working with the 2023 version. Right now I've been trying to tackle seeing what's going on with openCL. And I've managed to fix couple of other issues.


First, if your getting a crash after making a project, on a second run of Premiere you want vcruntimes. Second, you'll need OpenCL ready to go on your own system, just confirm that the backend is working on the linux side of the system first. As mesa for amd cards it's not ready out the door, I am unsure about Nvidia. From there, wine-opencl should start picking up, verify with the compatibility report, or wine via terminal. You'll also see the OpenCL render be an option in project settings. Third, using wine version 10, seems to fix the dll issue needing to duplicate and rename icuin69 and icuuc69. Or at least, it seems not necessary. It seems to cause problems now if anything.

Currently however once opencl is picked up, we loose functionality. Primarily video playback, it's a black screen. If you force disable the opencl in winecfg, you'll get playback working again, but opencl will be disabled. This is the one I'm currently tearing my hair on. Also we're still stuck with software encoding on export. Bizarrely, you can enable display color management once you open a project, which requires gpu acceleration. But can't like I said on export.

I've always been interested in technology since I was 5, and I always wondered. How do people figure out stuff like this? Like something undocumented and unintended, then make it work. It's always fascinated me, but I have little clue on where to start.

(Great guide btw, works on Fedora)

anything after 2024 and below 2022 doesn't work, atleast from my own testing

hey all! i spent like a solid 8 hours getting this up and running today.
ive managed to get myself fully loaded into the software with source monitor and most things working but i cant bring up the preferences window and anytime that theres a timeline my premiere just instantly crashes. anyone run into something similar?

The only thing that worked for me regarding running Adobe Premier Pro in BOTTLES:
(sorry I'm not very tech savvy so Wine was a bit too complicated for me).

- CachyOS (Arch Linux)
- KDE Plasma Desktop
- Adobe Premier Pro v2024 (with mokrus)
- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 Ti
- Wine v.11.0

Please follow this YouTube tutorial first

Then once you have finished following all the steps in the YouTube video, make sure all processes are terminated in the Bottle (Force Stop All Processes)

Go to Dependencies in your Bottle and install:

- all fonts
- msxml3
- vcredist2015

Then DELETE the msxml3 override in your Legacy Wine configurations

Once you have, run Adobe Premier Pro and stop it immediately, then Force Stop All Processes in your Bottle again just to be sure.

Then you may re-add the msxml3 override to your Legacy Wine Configurations and BAM it should work now! If not, try Force Stop All Processes again and Browse your Bottle files. Find System32 again and re-copy the msxml3 file and overwrite it again. Then restart your Bottle.

I hope this helps!

hey, I ran into the same problem. It was up and running after I installed msxml. it did not work via winetricks, but I had to open wine uninstaller and then manually navigate to the msxml.msi to install it.

I am so happy I found this forum, thanks to everyone involved ^_°

I got it running with the following setup:
wine 11.0
dxvk 2.6.1
manually copied missing dll from a windows 11 vm's \system32, and followed the override suggestions in this thread
installed msxml via uninstaller
got corefonts
got vcrun2019
got vcrun2022

I'm not sure if there's gpu accelleration, the renderer drop down menu is greyed out and has software encoding selected as fallback, I guess? I'm sorry, I'm new to Premiere, I'm only checking this out for people that want to switch to Linux but keep some of their software.

And in general, cause I've trying to tackle this whole thing for 10 days now, here are things I tried that did not work:
- getting the adobe creative cloud to work, at all. not via wine, not via steam, not proton without steam, not in bottles, just nothing. also the bleeding-edge-version that was suggested here on reddit did not work. althoug I admire the tenacity
- using bottles. drove me crazy, I ended up with so many confusing variations of prefixes, and none of them worked. also, terminal in bottles didn't work which made trouble shooting a bummer
- using lutris
- using winetricks. I had a lot of errors regarding sha256 mismatch. ended up grabbing things out of my win11 vm or downloading *.msi from windows online repositories by hand

cheers people

With an upcoming patchset that adds XMLSerializer support to upstream Wine, I wonder how much of the guide could be simplified...
