- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- The Base model M1Pro 14" MacBook Pro is a sleeper computer and I think for a large majority of creators and editors Its all you will ever need. That said if you do need the extra performance then you know what you have to buy.
This is the 14" MacBook Pro I have: bhpho.to/3vLNvMU

This Macbook is currently on a huge sale at BestBuy for $1599: geni.us/WRukaWv
Would this base model be good for the casual video editor that makes maybe 3/4 10 minute videos a month? Also my footage will be coming from my GoPro10 & drone. Not alot of hardcore editing, just working on 1 project at a time and usually deleting after complete for my channel. Thanks!
sadly only in the US...and also only the 512gb version...1tb version still higher....
i would order over a friend the 512gb version, but i am scared as f. that i will regrett the decission, because 1tb already is so little storage....(i know external ssd etc. but anyways not so comfy)
Bought mine for $1400 open box at BB. Loving it!
5:00 When you stack video layers like that, you are not really stressing the system unless you do some kind of effects (picture-in picture, tiles) that require playing back all those layers at the same time.
⬆This
Yeah it seems like most of these RUclipsr don't understand that. They never seem to show a true multicam sequence playing more than one angle at once, something I commonly do. I'd love to see 4 angles of 10bit 4k video being played back on this thing.
@@kprox1994 When you wanna be an apple fanboy and hopping to get free stuff from apple in the future you'll say anithing good about them. I still beleive that PC's are more powerfull if you know how to build a good config. That's why most of the 3D animations are still made and will still be made with PCs. I'm not hating I'n just realistic about it.
I found a YTer that did it right. He had 4x 4K fpv drone footage stacked and put in a 2x2 tile layout in the screen and scrubbed through them all on the baseline 14in mbp. It actually went through pretty good. It lagged a little bit but when compared to his desktop is was the same as running 1x of the same footage, on a pc that had 64gb ram and a 3070
So essentially the engineering of the M1 chips is 4x better than the disconnected nature of intel.
@@crusader2603 erwin marionneaux xD i just came from that video. Hahaha
This one spoke to me personally. Im collecting mine this weekend, and I've been extremely worried that this machine wouldn't be a good enough/enjoyable video editing timeline experience. Im hoping to improve my skills, with a virtually flawless experience using basic 4k footage. This has helped me feel a bit better. Thank you
Good luck!
@@GoldGiggler thank you so much! I got a message that mine was available to collect early! So I picked it up yesterday, and on initial impressions I’m actually blown away. I will continue to test it and see how much it can take, but so far it’s performed really well 🤯
you'd even be fine on the M1 Air. I mean... it depends how valuable those little micro seconds are to you i guess... I'll happily make a coffee during render... 5 mins? 10 mins? whatever. People edited amazing films on "super" computers 10 years ago that were about 1/4 the power.
@@halfalligator6518 love this comment ^
Finally someone is proving what I’ve always wanted to hear. The base model is more than enough for 98% people out there. Thank you brother and keep up your good work!
Let me take it further a notch, the previous generation 13 inch m1 mbp is more than enough for 90% people out there and its not even a joke. Why the fuck is there a 500$ diff
@@charbel6649 maybe cuz it has a mini led and pro motion the same tech in there 5 thousand dollar display. Dummy
@@calabriamia6307 The idea is that people are buying these laptops based on a RUclipsr's recommendation. News flash not everyone will need the capabilities they are using.
I too feel the same. However I have one question apart from video editing is it feasible to buy this for office professionals and daily life?
@@DwaipayanRC More than enough for your daily tasks!
Love that you are keeping it real and not just trying to advocate for people going all out on top specs when they realistically don't need it. I'm on last year's mini and it has been fine for me in editing my videos(which are 8-bit). It's my first time using a Mac and it has been the perfect intro to the ecosystem. I don't feel like I needed anymore power than what I got
I thought I'd come back & thank you as I just bought a base M1 14" MacBook Pro in July 2023 & boy does this MacBook deliver & I got my M1mac book at a great price 25% cheaper than the M2 . I watched your vid a while back & was a help in me deciding I didn't need a M2 Mac at 2099 & if I could find a new M1 that would be a winner for me . Anyone out there if you can find a New M1 MacBook , I'd highly recommend one over the M2.
I went to Costco today intending to get the new air, I ended up finding out the pro was on sale for 400$ more so I bought that 😂 I’ve been giddy alllllll day
I love the detail you go into, I love your channel, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I have the 15” 2015 MBP and I love it! Sometimes I find myself wishing for a bigger screen so I don’t think I would go for anything else other than the 16” when I upgrade it maybe in 2-3 years.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm still editing on a 2015 MBP. I'm planning to get the 16" as well.
That 2015 15" was the last good computer Apple released until 2020. The touchbar 15" models were a travesty. I made the mistake of buying the 2017 model which I regard as the worst hardware investment I've ever made.
finally some common sense!! I would get this base 14" with 16GB RAM and 1tb storage...that's all I could afford really...good enough for 4k (Sony a6400/a7iii)-3 streams of video with titles and some effects...reasonable...can't afford the M1 Max! Has Premiere finally been optimized for the new Apple chips? It looks really good here. But I guess FCP is even faster. I prefer Premiere.I guess the Mac Mini M1 is not good enough for 4k editing? I want to wait for an imac M1 pro...but it's nowhere to be seen! Maybe 2022...so many options! Thanks
The honesty here is fresh. Thanks for a great review!
Great review, One thing you are doing wrong is that when you are stacking clips on top of each other its behaving like a cut as it is on the top layer and it only plays the layer above... if you wanna do multiple streams test then create a splite sreen with 6 or 3 clips like you want to and see if they play together. That would give you the ideal benchmark.
You can do that for visual. But premiere has always struggled when you stack clips even if you visually only see the top clip. I think it’s still trying to process it in the background
@@LeeZavitz true, as its the most unoptimised software in the history of mankind :P
Wathicng this from 14" Base Model. Totally agree this model is more than enough for most.
One app I am using - where I need multiple windows.
On my previous MBP 13" 2019 model - I could open 20 instances, fans - screaming, system - lagging - it was maximum.
On 14" model - I can open 250 insntances of the app and still have ±19% free resources. Fans - are not even on at this point, no heating whatsoever. This is huge for me. It outpeforms PC desktop bought for the same task a months ago with similar price tag twice!
2015 15 inch MBP here.
I can't even play a 4K video on a 4K sequence for 5 frames without it dropping and the computer going to 90~99ºC lmfao
seeing you stack 4K and 8K videos like that had me worried the machine would combust 😂
I didn’t even mention that fans weren’t even on lol. I was spoiled with that on the m1 Mac mini
Gotta go proxy on a 2015. I held onto mine until 2019 had a good run
Still editing video, sometimes 4K, on my 2014 MBP 15” 😂 it does it! Just can’t stack 4K… or I have to go out for an hour long break and hope it’s calmed down by the time I’m back. Time to upgrade.
@@RauriBarron My thoughts exactly. Might eke out mine an extra year and go refurbished though.
For music producing, I think the ideal setup would be a 14” or 16” M1 Pro, 10 Core CPU, 14 or 16 Core GPU, 32GB Ram and 2TB SSD.
Yes, the base model will do just fine now but what if your workflow changes and the performance you need increases over time as you improve on your skill? I think this setup I mentioned is great because it’ll definitely future-proof it so you don’t have to upgrade sooner thus saving you more money in the long term. I reckon you could get a decade of use out of it with no hiccups.
I cant even afford the base model 14 inch mac atm for producing :(((((
This is exactly what I’m getting for music! I’m gonna use it for orchestral compositions mainly. Just gotta wait 3 more weeks or so
You won’t need more than 8 cpu cores . 10 is just for those who want the overkill most. 8 core cpu is plenty
*We will see these exact same m1 pro and max chips in the upcoming 27inch imac replacement. I don't think we will see an m1 max with even higher gpu cores like 64 cores on the iMac. Max configuration will still be the same 10 core CPU and 32 core gpu.*
Damn bro… you just threw a spanner in my decision about going all out on the 16” MBP 😂
I feel personally attacked too 😂
@@NickyRizzles lol 😂
m1 performance was amazing.. but it didn't include sensible ports. m1 pro is even better. you really don't need anything more than the base model. apple have just got greedy by ramping up the flagship model prices. the only thing that makes me wonder about getting a better model is when apple will screw base model owners on upgrading to new OS X features and os revisions. I doubt it will be for a long time though
If youre an editor / colorist the m1 pro is good enough for the tasks
Yup 😂
Great video, just what I was looking for.
That 14" rocks, but the 16" base model also looks good for the money.
I have a 2015 15" Mabook Pro with battery swell. It's knackered. I originally didn't want to buy the new base model because I was concerned it wouldn't be good enough, seeing most RUclipsrs buying higher end models etc. Which I can't really afford right now. But this still looks like a decent option.
How do you feel about the screen size? I have the 13” M1 MacBook Pro and it always feels cramped. But that 16” looks massive. Hoping the 14” is just right 🤞🏼
Same feeling here. I remember thise times when there was a 17 inch macbook... it was so heavy and massive. Maybe 14 inch is a good in between 🤔
I also have the 13" M1 MBP and been thinking on upgrading to the 14" mainly due to the screen size and all the ports.
I traded my old intel 13” for the base 14” and love the size of this new display, it feels a lot better in terms of aspect ration (vertical space) and the display quality is amazing. I wanted the 16” but that would have been harder to carry around, so the 14” is still a good size for me. I think that 16” will replace an iMac.
@@ag4eng Congrats, how was the trade in process? Thinking of doing the same with my 16 inch 2019 model.
I previously purchased a 13" Mac book pro and it was too small for me and sold it. I was previously using a 14" Lenovo and that's what I went back to. 14" is definitely a sweet spot and I just ordered the new 14" m1 pro.
14 inch base model is rendering 4K files 3 times faster than i9 6 core 2.9ghz 2019 MacBook Pro 15 inch. Madness.
Great review. I would love to see how this machine handles After Effects. Haven’t come across anyone testing it yet.
It blows my mind to see absolutely no videos that showcase after effects, still hardly anything for the M1 13”
@@slutbunwallah well, if it can handle 3D heavy stuff I think it can handle after effects.
Great video man! I think I’m going to go for the base 16” M1 Pro MacBook Pro cause I want the bigger screen, better speakers and battery life.
The base 16” is also more powerful. 10core cpu. You’ll be stoked on it. Apple crushed it with this release
Yeah, that’s true. I’m super curious how powerful the proper desktop Apple Silicon chips that are supposed to come with the next Mac Pro or whatever will be especially since these ones are already plenty for most people.
@@SarveshBheekhun I’ve heard some crazy rumours about the Mac Pro. But I’m more interested in the next Mac mini :)
got mine today and wow, i'm actually super impressed with this beast!
I just bought this MacBook M1 pro. I went 16inch base model for the bigger screen. Next step, divinchi resolve. I have to learn Mac now cause I've never owned or used one before and also divinchi resolve. I'm used to PC and Premier pro 😥 Thanks for making this video, it helped me see that the base model is all I needed for my Canon R5 footage 😎👍
I have the 14" Pro, 1 TB SSD...
I run VMs, which takes up significantly more of the computer's resources than watching RUclips videos or writing the occasional Word doc (which is what 98% of users are using their MacBooks for), and this does the job just fine.
If you aren't editing footage or doing 3D modeling, you DON'T need the Max.
If you ARE doing either of those things, the Pro is also going to work just fine.
As a Final Cut Pro editor, this seems like all I would ever need. I never edit anything above 4K and I never do 3-D or heavy motion graphics. Thanks!
100% in Fcp it rips, I didn’t even show it off because everyone already knows how well it ran on m1 and it’s even better on m1 pro and max
The performance jump on Premiere Pro v22.0 on Apple silicon is awesome, especially for export times with optimised codecs.
Thanks for the video Lee! You and Patrick, are always entertaining and helpful.
Patrick is a beast. I couldn’t get my video out as fast as him
@@LeeZavitz Night owls, keep it up!
Great video! Would love to see how the export times are compared to the old one 🙌🏻
nice vid man, im convinced i dont need to spec out my mac. the base looks good for my needs and not that much different than the 10cores from the test ives seen. i dont care about 5 seconds more of export times tbh. thanks man
Grabbed the 14" maxed out MBP w/ 2TB of SSD storage it's blowing my mind
Totally agree. Add the faster charger and done
Such a good video. I’ve lost sleep because of the situation I feel a decent amount of us are in. I do edit and grade 6k raw sometimes but most of the time it’s slogiii footage and 6/10 times it’s delivering to clients for web and 4k. I think where I stubbed my toe in all of this is leaving mac for so long building what I thought was a wild pc not realizing that Apple had stepped it up since 2012 and thinking I NEED fully specd. That being said as things grow I will want the wiggle room. So decided to go the max 16in base,32 core 32 ram. No such thing as future proof but that thing will last me a longggg time. The display is wild and can’t resist it lol
dope video. picking one up today. my 16" 2020 was struggling with canon r6 4K footage so im glad to hear this upgrade will help a lot
Yes!!!
What’s the full specs you got ? Ram ssd processor size
@@GurmeetSingh-fr8uo I got the Base Model 14" MacBook Pro. my bad the 16" MacBook I had was the 2019 version with the intel processor. My 14" destroys the 16' MBPro I had in every way. best investment I've made this year hands down
Binging through all macbook pro 14" videos on RUclips, waiting for mine to arrive.
Yes.. finally someone using resolve in an edit test on the 14' m1 pro👍🏾👍🏾 Thanks sharing. Huge help!
Awesome, very surprised what the base model can do. You just saved me a lot of money, thanks! 🙌
Pretty much what I needed before buying the right MacBook Pro. Thank you for this wonderful video.
I just realized who that band is in that music video test you ran! IT’S FREAKIN’ STEREOS! That’s awesome man.
On the MBP 14 inch Pro chip, that might be my next upgrade (or the next iteration of it) since it’ll probably be more than what I need it for.
Yeah dude I shot and edited that music vid :)
Dudeeee this is smooth! Love the info and the quality of your vid! Thanks for share
Finally a real professional! Thank you so much for your video. I am using MBP 15" 2018 and I edit in Premiere most of the time .BRAW and 10bit .MOV from GH5 and I'm really tired of my laptop working pretty poorly. I think I'll buy the 14" instead of the 16" just because of your review, thank you!!!
Thank you, that tells me I can get the low end 14 and a monitor, and a SSD drive ( storage think 500gb do fine, always has 1tb) take steps at a time as I am researching, means if I want FCP I have to add funds or use resolve and relearn it
Thanks for this video! Can you tell me what is the brand of your external screen please?
Great review Lee! M getting my base model mbp 14 inch next week🤟🏻🤟🏻
I'm still thinking if I should get the air m1 16GB Ram and 512GB storage. I already own a mac studio with studio display as well. I just want a laptop for studio tethering. My camera is a R5
M1 SHOULD SERVE THE JOB FOR TETHERING BUT IF YOU WANNA EDIT VIDEO THEN BUY
M1 PRO
I really, really, liked your video. And it was the definitive answer I needed to buy one for me. I also work with Premiere as a professional video editor, and I just wanna know how it handles working with ESSENTIAL GRAPHICS? Can you PLEASE answer this? Thanks a lot.
Well I seem to be one of the few people that actually need the M1 Max, with color grading in resolve 4k - 6k - 8k footage with basic correction is fine probably even on this one, but once you start throwing open fx into the mix, noise reduction, etc. Shit goes out the can, especially with render times, so yeah. If I was just editing of course this is the way to go unless you want the bigger display, but get the M1 Pro, Max is for heavy duty usage. Editing 4k - 8k isn't heavy duty...
I literally have that same background wallpaper (the one on your computer in the background at the beginning) on my desktop lol. Great vid. thanks.
Waiting for the Mac Mini M1X (second gen M1)
Same tbh
Thanks great job my friend...I will get one base model..
Great video man!
Hi! I am a graphic and web designer, and soon I am going to train in UX/UI. I have a MacBook Pro 13” from 2016 that I am looking forward to upgrading because it is too slow, noisy and gets very hot. A few months ago I was able to test the 14” and 16” M1 Pro for a few days, both with 10c/16c/16Gb/1Tb, and the truth is that they worked really well. What I am going to use the most is going to be the Adobe design suite, Figma, specifically Premiere or FCPX for something normal (4K with 1 or 2 layers, some color correction and some transition), some RAW photo development of a 26mpx APS-C in Capture One and video calls with Zoom. Do you think that with these models I have equipment for 3/4 years? It's that on Amazon they are usually discounted, and I have even seen the 14” 8c/14c/16Gb/512Gb for €1,995 currently, but I don't know if it will fall short of power. The idea is not to think too much in the future and use it rather 3/4 years, since I think that Apple's processors by then will have improved a lot. Let's see if you can give me your opinion, based on your experience, to go for the base 14” or jump to the 16” with which I would gain screen and battery, although I will do the big jobs with a 4K monitor. Thank you and sorry for the long message!
My new apple m1 pro 14 inch after 10 days use speakers started crackling crazy
Thank's for an awesome review. What would be your preferred next step upgrade? The 10-core gpu or 32gb of RAM? I'm specifically looking for improvements in davinci and fusion.
I totally second this question! Am thinking the same. Highest M1 Pro Chip or 32 GB
So I actually went in store today did some testing rendered some 8K footage and it was only using about 6gb or RAM it was a small 10 min video but RAM doesn't appear to be a big issue.
Been lookin all over for whether or not its worth it to upgrade to the 10 core
I’d like know the opinion on this as well.
@@Moody_Incorporated I'd say it depends on software, Premiere is a piece of shit that will gobble all the ram it has
true, I'm in love with mine!
Very interesting!! I have a M1 Mac mini now. I want to go with one of these and use my 32inch 4k screen when I need. I'm guessing 16GB ram is all I need, is it worth the 32GB upgrade?I have had no problems with the mini with 16GB. I also shoot with a canon R5. Awesome vid! Do you use this bin clam shell mode?
Love your videos bro. Always creative and on point. I know this would create a ton of work for you but I’ve always loved your music videos. Have you ever considered a patreon? I completely understand if it’s not in the cards right now though.
I tried patreon. No one cared and it was a lot of extra work for nothing so I stopped
3:12 little did he know that behind it and under it meant the same thing
(in this scenario, not by pure definition in a 3d world)
Thanks for this. This is the computer I’m getting
i will get the 10 core 16 core 16 gb 1tb 14 inch... I will be happy for coming 5 years imo.
One of the things most tech review youtubers fail to do in my experience is help you make a decision on your purchase. Whilst they are right it usually does come down to preference and situational needs, you feel like you just wasted your time or even just being roped in the most expensive best of the best which you don't need. This right here just helped a lot of people make up their minds lol thank you.
I was gonna get the 16inch, maybe with 32bg. I have a 16gb Mac mini M1, it works perfect but when I’m working on my editor x website it has some hiccups but not a lot. I need to be portable, I sold my MacBook Pro M1 to get more ram in the Mini, this video got me thinking I should be good with the 14 base. Spending all this money is stressing me tf out lol.
I always find it funny seeing people that edit in Resolve or Premiere, every now and again they'll have some black frames in the video. Thanks to non-magnetic timeline like in Final Cut Pro X
Yeah and thanks to Apple for gate keeping that tech 😂
What would you recommend for a full blown colour grading project? Is the base model enough to handle a heavy colour grade?
Excellent video, top marks!
Thank You Buddy, was looking for video something like this, you showed what is most important. Subscribed ;-)
So, base model it is then! I have a unrelated question though, the charging wall light, was looking for something like that, what are you using?
Great video! Also what monitor are you using ?
Thanks for this review man. I am using Lumix GH5 paired with Ninja V. For editing ProRes HQ 422, I think this base model Macbook Pro is perfect for what I need.
100%
Thanks for the video. Are you editing on the external SSD or copying footage to the Macbook? The reason I am asking is the price difference between the 1+ Tb Macbook SSD and the external one.
Great video
very nice... could you plz test it with 2 or 3 plugged in Monitor? would like to know if the fans turn on when you have monitors connected....
You are the second RUclipsr to say that while recording , the scene gets choppy
Yeah it takes power to screen record. It looks nicer for the video but it’s best to just film the screen with a camera
Just gained a new subscriber!
Great Video 🙌
So you think this would be just fine for editing 5.7k 360 VR videos? I am a diver so no crazy effects, but I will be colour grading to compensate for white balance and colour distortion from different depths and lighting. What if I upgraded to an 8k 360 VR camera like the Qoocam?
Can u try connecting the m1pro chip to 3 4K displays please. Curious if it can support it natively.
What colour is this macbook ?
Also what about final cut pro ? Is that not optimal for the macbook for video editing?
Can you please comment on the actual wireless web battery life on the 14 inch M1 pro base model?
So true man, when you said people maxed out on their specs and then shoot 8 bit vids 🤣
Honestly the 14" performs really well
What about a serious battery test?
I’ll do one in the review
hi sir. how about working with titles in premiere pro? how does it feel like? i am currently in mac mini m1. still on the edge for an upgrade. let me know your thoughts about it. thanks you.
Being someone who only upgrades my laptop every 5-8 years or so, I can’t decide if I want to upgrade the configuration just so it can stay up with the times longer?
Mee too I went M1 Max with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD
@@jayspartan3248 yeah I debating either base model with 1tb or going for that same configuration
@@keithspieker2046 how is your decision? Stull thinking if to go lower with 16 GB RAM only
More memory is better, but if money is a factor, I'd spend more on storage than memory on the M1s. With the memory on the chip itself, it feels like a Windows machine with 2x the RAM.
@@jayspartan3248 Still haven't decided yet. Have you received yours yet? I'm guessing its going to be amazing
What stand is that for the LG monitor? Did you get a different stand or did that come with it?
I have the 10 core model and it’s great but I wish I would have updated to 24 core GPU. Im could use it once I start piling on effects finalcut
Just the kind of video to help me decide what I really would need, except that I needed one with a terabyte SSD, and when I added the option for a 1TB SSD the price is not much difference to the other 14” option that comes with a 1TB SSD. Now I am deciding if I should go with the base model and then buy an external 1TB SSD? I know an external SSD would be slower but if it is not much slower to work with then I am happy with that option.
Following. I have the exact same concern. Not to mention that the savings on internal ssd can help towards upgrading cpu or ram instead if I want it to be more future-proof; then at a later stage I can just buy an external ssd when it runs out of storage
@@leenim Precisely. Money spent on the RAM will be more worth it. An external SSD should do well enough unless you are working with huge video files.
Finally an actual pro machine!
Thank you.
thanks for the testing! what is the version of the premiere used in your video?
If we are talking about ''all you need'', the m1 macbook air is really what 95% of consumers need. These pro models are fantastic, but most people really just dont do anything that requires their power.
PS- I went with the base model and I'm a graphic designer. I couldn't honestly justify upgrading the 512gb ssd to 1tb for £300-400! (disgraceful pricing). if I really need to ill just hook up an external 1tb ssd or whatever i need. No worries. Don't forget the base model is still about £500 more than the 13" M1. For anyone wondering how much ram you actually need (i was really concerned) - I have had 2 browsers open and 3 apps open (2 being adobe illustratror and after effects) and it uses not much over 3gb ram! They have really streamlined memory footprints, i think it's because of how the cpu, gpu and ram are hooked up to one another and the fact that it utilises ssd instead hdd. so i'd say there aren't many people who would actually need 32gb of ram instead of the standard 16gb.
For a 4K 10 bits workflow in premiere would you recommend the base model ? Thanks for the video it helped me a lot !
Depends on how much effects you are working with. I’ve been using it for all my RUclips stuff and it flys.
Hey Lee,
Considering one of these to replace my current (weak) laptop and desktop. I plan on using it for general use, photo editing (Sony RAW in Lightroom), maybe some super light photoshop or exposure stacking, light games with friends (think like CS), ideally with the usual background apps open. Discord, spotify, mail, msg, etc.
Do you think I will rapidly be hitting swap usage on the 16GB config? It's a huge (450CAD) jump to 32GB and I'm thinking it may be better to just save the cash, but not at the expense of hardware life...those SSD's ain't replaceable. Would really appreciate your professional opinion, thanks!
Thanks 🙏
Awesome & Thanks :)
Hey man, thanks for great video.
I'm a doc filmmaker and have long timelines, rather than stacks of clips (2-3h sometimes) and hundreds of hours of footage and hundreds of sequences in premiere pro. Do you think the base model would be enough for me? If you had to do some upgrades what would you prioritize? Ram? CPU? GPU?
Thanks again and hoping in your answer.
You will definitely need more ram which is $400 upgrade to 32gb. Might as well pay extra $200 to get 24 core gpu max (which comes with twice as fast ram than Pro). You wont be able to make upgrade after the purchase.
@@scoopof3d yeah, was thinking 32 gigs ram, but sticking to 10-16 pro. You think it's stupid? Was also worried about the 14" not being able to pack and cool all that good stuff.
@@toxicavenger270 Yes, I believe it would be unwise not to pay extra $200 to upgrade to 24 GPU core M1 Max.
Max's RAM also has double the bandwidth of Pro (200GB Pro/400GB Max), which you will use a lot of on long time lines since its shared with GPU. I going with 32 GPU 14". I edit in Resolve anything from 10-30 min vlogs to 2hr podcasts.
Hi, when you stack your clips on each other like that it's still work like just one clip have to preview. To show simultaneously few clips and realy test performace change opacity to 50% on upper clips. In that case premiere pro must render more clips than just that on the top. But despite this, 4K and even 8K fotage go smothly that is just creazy.
Anytime I’ve stacked clips on any system it lags out.
@@LeeZavitz Maybe you're right. I tested few times performance of my Windows computers and checked that in Task Menager so only when premiere work with Multicam or as I said 50% opacity in stacks clips it's change a usage of CPU and GPU. In your's method of stacking nothing change and performance is the same like it was only one clip on timeline. I am not saying that you're lying but it's a better test in my opinion and it's show true results.
@@LeeZavitz DaVinci Resolve is clever enough to only render the top layer video if you complete cover the other layers. Premiere is not that clever.
I also use my lappy for traktor 3
10 fps per second " looks smooth to me " :DDD
