This has lead to a huge jump in performance (at least in some tests) compared to previous apple computers and allowed relatively inexpensive computers to edit videos that were until recently editable only on very high-end expensive systems. It is worth mentioning (if you haven’t been following what is going on in the computing industry in the last few months) that Apple had made a big breakthrough with its M1 chip which is based on a type of boosted ARM architecture after the company decided to develop its own processor and forgo Intel. Sony’s A1 also shoots 8K but as we mentioned this is captured in 10biut 4:2:0 which should be easier to run and edit – but is it really and how different NLEs deal with it when used on the M1 MacBook Pro. This is due to Canon’s choice of 4:2:2 10 bit HEVC codec instead of 4:2:0 used for example by Sony’s 8K new Alpha 1 camera (but also true for the Z-cam for example, you can see more on that on the bonus video below). Yuryev starts by talking about footage from the Canon R5 which is notoriously difficult to edit, at least at the moment with existing NLEs and existing hardware. Upon research it seems that the Base spec 14" Macbook Pro might suit us just fine.ġ4" Apple M1 Pro with 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engineīut I'm willing to pay more for a better editing experience if necessary so that makes me consider going with the starting M1 Max in the 14":ġ4" Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engineīut that makes me wonder whether the 16" would have better cooling and battery to make the extra power wiser to get in the larger device.Photographer Max Yuryev recently published an interesting video looking at how the M1 MacBook Pro edits 8K video using different editing software (Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro) and got some good news and some not so good news to share. I also work in Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, and 3D modelling, but primarily video editing is where the choke point is.
We typically only edit in 1080p but might do 4k more if our laptops actually let us. I don't particularly care about rendering time but rather what makes editing and playback the smoothest. We edit video in Premiere, maybe 10-20 hours a week. I'm not particularly concerned with real estate as we double monitor for larger projects.
We are willing to spend on it but I don't think it may be necessary for us to fully max out and I'd somewhat prefer the 14" if possible but I'm willing to do 16" if it will make my life more pleasant in regards to editing and playback. I am trying to figure out the spec that would be best for our use case. We think that switching to Macbook Pro's might be the way to go. To flesh out the title, both my husband and I have used Dell XPS 15's for years and I'm sick of lagging, glitchy playback in Premiere Pro.
