Trapcode Suite 15.1.8 is a 64-bit application, meaning it is designed to work efficiently with modern hardware to handle complex simulations and high-resolution projects. Officially, it supports After Effects CC 2017 through to CC 2020 for all plugins, and some tools like 3D Stroke and Shine were also compatible with Premiere Pro CC 2017 to CC 2020. It's also important to note that while version 15.1.8 was a robust release, the software has since been updated. As of 2025, the latest version is Red Giant Trapcode Suite 2025.0 (also known as version 18), which includes full support for Apple's M1/M2 chips and introduces new features like Layer Maps for Particular.
