@StyleTanki Thanks for the sub and glad my videos are helpful! For the Macbook Air M3 with 16gb, it should be enough for cuts and color grading on DVR. But, with FX applied, you're likely going to lag on playback if you don't render. Even my M2 Pro lags with FX applied like noise reduction. What you can do is render the specific clips with FX and it should play smoothly. Unless you already have auto rendering on where DVR will render your whole timeline as you edit. I disable this because the rendered cache files eat up your SSD storage fast. So I only render specific clips that have FX applied if I absolutely need to. Otherwise, I apply the effect, disable the node that has the effect, and playback. I'll enable the node to turn on the effect when I'm ready to export. Regarding gaming and fps, sorry but I don't think I can help you there since I don't game on my Macs and haven't tried. In my opinion from what I know though, you'll probably get frame drops because screen recorders use up a good amount of graphic performance. I know cause I've seen export times when exporting videos go really slow if I'm recording my screen so I would imagine a game would be impacted too.

@@mattchungz thank you so much for those awesome tips. I wish you continued success on youtube!

​@@mattchungz Also like if my Mac Book M3 Air heats up do you think it is safe to put a like cold towel under the bottom because when I edit on my mac book 2018 air now its super HOT and I do that so it helps with export times.

@hazellebohol5435 Yeah I think it'll be good for your use case. For external storage, many people that edit videos, myself included, use Samsung T7 SSD drives. I store all my assets in my T7 drives and edit right from them and I haven't had issues with them.

@@mattchungz then it’s decided, thank you so much! I will take a look at the drives you recommended as well 😊

@MatteoGamingYT all of them are good for RUclips 🙂

@@mattchungz well for gaming video essays

@ingridmatschke glad it was helpful!

@DavidAdlawan I've seen people get away with it but it will for sure be using swap memory, which in the long term is not good for your SSD. Even 16gb sometimes on longer edits is barely enough. So if you can afford to upgrade the memory, I definitely would.

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful. I don’t have Fusion experience unfortunately. In regards to effects, playback will get choppy because I can’t even playback on my M2 Pro Mac Mini without it being choppy. I’d recommend either working with proxies or render the clips with effects. Just pay attention to where your cache is being saved cause rendering will eat up storage.

@@mattchungz Wow. Thx so much for this detailed answer! You really answered all my questions and gave me on top some very useful tips and considerations! Really Sir Thank you very much! Much love from Germany :)

@@PhantasusRex Glad I can help! Thanks for watching

Maybe but for lengths that long, you should probably choose more RAM. Other ways around it would be working with proxies or render your timeline. Just know where you are saving the rendered cache files because when you render, it will eat up storage fast

Not sure about 8k but you can probably find videos out there of people testing 8k footage. I think it should be able to handle it but also depends on how long the clips are, how long of a video you’re cutting, etc.

For sure, but personally I hate dealing with proxies and just want to eliminate as much as I can. I usually never use them and haven’t had much issues but on edits where I have to apply heavy effects like noise reduction and stuff, I’ll use proxies if I need to.

Just some random USB C hub that I use on my MacBook. Got it off Amazon

M2 with more ram, my personal opinion

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!

💯

Yes it is

Are they filmed in 4K or 1080? 5-6 hours is long but if at 1080, M2 or M3 is more than fine, with 16gb of ram or more. If 4K, I would recommend at least bumping up to the Pro chip

Yes, minimum

It’s always best to get more ram if you can since you can’t upgrade them later with a Mac

Nope it’s been fine for me

I’d go with air more ram. The pro base is the same M3 so other than better features on the Pro, you’re getting better performance with more Ram from the Air

It’s using swap memory and using your ssd to write and delete cache files. This strains your ssd in the long run

The M2 Pro comes with 16gb as its base option!

Thanks! I know, I’ll definitely upgrade

I think it would be similar. Except the Mini has a better chassis for cooling and airflow so it should be more efficient and hold performance but I’m not sure how much or if Apple throttles their M chips

M3 has a slight performance boost but I think it’s more efficient. With the other upgrades like dual monitor support and wifi 6e, I think it’s worth the price difference. I haven’t used Pro Logic so I can’t really comment on it

I’m not much of a graphic designer but I would imagine it would hold up since it does pretty well for video editing

Between these 3, they’re mostly more or less pretty similar when it comes to the interface in their own way. Try CapCut

This should be more than enough!

If the M2 Pro is within your budget then yes I would recommend it. The base model M2 Pro is enough but it mostly depends on your workflow, footage, and projects

Both are great but it will take getting use to. I’ve actually noticed videos render and export much faster on DVR than on FCP. Every time I go back to FCP, I just feel so restricted. Only time I go back and use FCP, is if my project only needs to be cut with no grading or anything else needed. It’s faster for that because by default it ripple edits and so I just pop in, cut and snap, and done. Good luck with the transition!

@@mattchungz the only thing we don't know yet is if we should get the pro or the max with 36gb, can you give us a recommendation which one we should buy?

@@NuestraNuevaVida_Vital I bought the 16 inch M3 pro MacBook Pro It works great

@@NuestraNuevaVida_Vital if you have the budget for it, go with beefier specs. It’ll last you longer and expand your limits when you start to either upgrade your camera or editing capabilities. Rendering times will be faster and you’ll just be able to do more.

@@mchungcinematography I think we will go with the m3 max 16 core 30 GPU

I’ve heard of people having wifi issues but I never experienced it myself. I’ve noticed Satechi has lemons. Even my unit had an issue with constantly disconnecting from my Mac resulting in the "Didn’t eject properly” notification. I sent it back and Satechi sent me a new one. No issues with this one

Yep, 16gb should be the minimum you go with

Glad it was helpful

Bump up your RAM to minimum 16gb, if you can go for more RAM it would be better

Thanks! Will give it a shot

Depends what you’re editing but should be good

@@mattchungz what if editing podcast videos?

@@kessashienaestoque7479 for podcast videos, the Air can handle it. Just upgrade your RAM.

Thank you! You’re the first person to relate with me on the linking problem. I’ll let you know if I find a solution

I’d go with the M2 Pro. When the M2 Pro is compared to the M3 Pro, the M2 Pro is still better than the M3 Pro in performance whereas the M3 Pro is more efficient. So between the M2 Pro and the base M3, go with the M2 Pro. Better GPU performance if you’re using it for editing.

💯 Getting so much value at a fixed price

If you don’t intend to use an external monitor then yeah no brainer to go with the 15”! Editing iPhone footage, the M3 Air is more than enough. And yes go with 16gb of ram
