- Is the M1 Max MacBook Pro still a good computer for video editing, or do you need an M2 or an M3 to work with 4k video files?
In this video I go over my experience as a video editor after 3 years of using the M1 Max MacBook Pro and how I still dont feel like I need to upgrade!

Somehow, the M1 MacBook Pro is still powerful enough to handle anything I ever throw at it. I practically never wait for anything. I dont even know what would be improved by having an even faster computer since this one already does everything practically instantly and it's three years old.
Ha! I completely forgot to add the B-roll at 1:58 about switching video project files in a half a second. I'm going to go ahead and leave it in, since this video is technically about editing and I like being wide open about how I edit and how editing goes and all that. Also - that fan sure did speed up int he background towards the end and make a terrible lighting situation. Sorry about that..
I’m actually going to upgrade to the M1 Max from my M1 Pro just for the time savings in video editing. Great video.
Yeah the power difference of that extra memory bandwidth, extra cores and extra video encoders changes everything about it. You won't be disappointed.
Nice! I have an m1 max 16 in with 64gb of ram I got in April 2022 and it's still a beast. Yes it's not a fast as an M3 but it still is way overkill for my uses. You definitely push it harder than I do. Forgot that it could do like multiple 4k and 8k videos at a time so that was cool to see.
Will probably definitely keep it for another year or 2 at least. Maybe I'll keep it until software support drops in like 2027 or 2028 or something.
Does Adobe After Effect runs smoothly?
Same ques @@Teom-ic6co
Thank you. This was exactly what I needed to hear! Upgrading from my intel macpro to a new one.
I have m1 macbook max 32 gb 1tb 16 inch and it is great !!!
I'm about to buy that same setup. What kind of projects do you do on it?
Music distracts from your points, good points!
I literally just got this, I just turned it on.. I’m so glad I got it
The block says “thank you”
Just upgraded from my 14 inch 16gb M1 Pro to the 16 inch 32gb M1 Max... 300 dollars difference after selling old M1 Pro.... Lovely little upgrade to tide me over the next few years.
“I know it’s wasteful but whatever”. Look at what all goes into producing your Mac and what it’s doing to the communities who help create it
Can you expand on this?
I just got one; MacBook Pro M1 Max 10-Core CPU and 32-Core GPU 16” 32GB Ram 1TB SSD
How much do you pay? I thinkin in buy that configuration
Apple didn’t screw up by making great computer lol. What do you expect from an M2 it’s just the next chip up. You don’t buy a Honda Accord 2021 and 2024 and expect and entirely new vehicle.
Right but the last Intel Mac compared to the M1 Mac was an ENORMOUS jump. To the point where those Intel Macs are really frustrating to use; even the ones made 6 months before this one.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE Yeah it’s great
Someone speaking the truth here
but but it’s not space black though 😏
How does it preform editing Apple Pro Res footage from a Lumix GH6?
Depending on your use case and preferences, the savings on an M1 series device will be offset by support cut off. At about four years old now, out of six or seven.
Are you saying as of now it's not worth buying?
@@ZDavis-qt5ce everyone’s circumstances are different budget and need wise so I can’t blanket say yes it isn’t worth buying.
If you can get a really good deal, yes but if it is only just a few hundred dollars less than M2 or M3, I would save more and purchase those instead.
Both M2 and M3 came out in 2023, M4 is coming out, supposedly in the next 2 to 3 months.
Sure, the system will work fine after Apple drops OS support for it, but If I’m going to spend close to 3/4 of the price for m1, losing 4 years of OS support is a strong factor against M1 now.
There is always a chance that Apple will support M series longer than Intel.
I’m in the market for a new computer myself, I want to get most value for my money which includes longevity.
Thanks so much, Nicholas, for this video: I'm considering a purchase from a private party of an m1 max macbook pro, 64gram, 4 tbs of ssd, 16 inch. it's manufacture date is 2021, the battery cycle count is 4--it's been sitting unused for 3 years in the box; battery health is listed as 100% but I'll have Apple store run the diagnostics. the person wants $1900 for it, there is no warranty. I want to use Final Cut Pro, but am a beginner. I love the features on this but feel that it may be pricey, and maybe I should wait a few months for prices to drop on the m3? Any suggestions? Thanks for your video!!!
@@pf4773 well similar specs on a current or next generation Mac will be probably closer to $3500.. So I’d jump on that deal!
I got the M1 Max 64GB and 2TB at launch. It literally crushes everything i throw at it
Isn't it crazy that a four year old computer is not just usable still, but basically just as good as a new one for what we use them for?! Thats never been the case basically ever.
I have the opportunity to get a macbook pro m1 max with 64gram, 4 tb ssd, 16 inch, for $1900, battery cycle count is 4 (essentially unused since 2021. There is no warranty on it, though. Is this a great deal or only a fair to good deal?
I also have the same model (base m1 max 16inch) as you and have had it since launch date. However, I’m still in Monterey and thinking about upgrading to a later OS. Which os are you on and has it improved or hurt your battery and overall performance?
Im using Sonoma - and I haven't noticed any meaningful difference in battery or performance. I'll bet the next operating system with all the AI implementations will make everything work quite a bit harder though.
@@NicholasJamesJohnson okay, thank you for the info! I’ll take a look at Sonoma.
Why do you keep looking away from the camera? It’s distracting. Are you talking to me or someone in your audience?
Hi, too many cuts. Stick with camera A for longer.
At the one part he was trying to show how the machine could handle multiple streams of 4k videos with effects. So that's probably why.
What type of camera did you use to make this video?
I used a Sony a7siii and a Sony a7iv to make this video.
What editing aoftware do you use
I use Final Cut Pro. It's made specifically for these chips and so it can decode HEVCHS footage super smoothly. This is the first time Ive ever had a computer for 4 years without even feeling like an upgrade would change anything. Editing is still perfectly smooth and responsive.
