Helmut4 Clients
While the Helmut4 client can be used for various tasks, the following system requirements are recommended specifically for Helmut4 clients intended for render-intensive tasks. These recommendations are based on Adobe's requirements for Premiere Pro.
Running the Helmut4 client on a different system is possible, but we suggest testing it in advance.
Currently, native ARM/Apple Silicon support is not available. On macOS, the client will be emulated using Apple's Rosetta 2.
