Apple Silicon

All releases from Capture One 21 (14.2.0) onwards provide native support for Apple Silicon Macs. Additionally, Hardware Acceleration on Apple Silicon (M1/M2) machines is achieved using Metal – this is now also the case on Intel based Macs, if you are using Capture One 22 (15.3.0) or newer.

Previous versions of Capture One, that have not been designed with silicon based Macs in mind, will still run on Mac computers using the Rosetta 2 emulation platform. This is run by default and there is no need to change any preferences in order for Capture One to run.

The only known limitation when using Rosetta, is when it comes to tethering with Canon cameras. Download and install the latest firmware from https://www.canon-europe.com/support/ to try remedying this issue.

For users on macOS 13 – USB tethering connection sometimes may not be established on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS Ventura. If this occurs, unplug and replug the cable until the connection is successfully established.
