Max, watching this on MBP 13 2018 with 4 Thunderbolt make me sad~ 😩
what is the app you use that lets you see the cpu usage?
Hi am thinking about buying mac book pro 13. But sombody sait thad cant work fusin properly.any suggestions!!!
How about do a head to head with MBP 15 or 16 vs Alienware m15
Max Yuryev 1:38 Some odd anomaly, the 2018 13” gets about 50K on that test.
Everyone wondering “can this edit 1080” yes it will edit it perfectly and just fine. It’s a kinda choppy with 4K. It will be smooth with 1080
How do you think it would do with 1440p footage?
doing 1080 is totally fine with FCPX (with effects and color grading) ! this is a really fine machine at the price
It's OK, I think I'll stick to my Macbook 2023
ucheucheuche 😂
you from the future bro?
In a few years nobody will think twice about this comment
Can you do a video on how to edit video using Final Cut Pro for RUclips? Thanks. I just got that exact same model of macbook pro and have video clips from my GoPro 7.
3 yr ago omg
Decided to get exactly what you recommended. 13” MBP w/ 256GB and 16GB RAM
Daniel Lin I got that but with 512 gb ssd
Since I’m poor, I got the 256gd with 8gb ram 😒👌🏽
Benicho perfect set up. 512gb SSD is definitely ideal, especially when I’m working with a lot of RAW camera images
Daniel Lin I do a lot of photoshop and video editing for my media classes at school so it suited me perfectly.
Daniel Lin - does it run hot?
(single fan vs 2-fan in the model above) thanks for answering.
haha, good to know. I only edit using iMovie with 1080p footage, so there are 0 problems. nice to know I could always bump it up to 4k whenever.
I remember editing 4K video on my 2012 MacBook Air. Horrible experience, but it technically worked. So, I would just naturally assume that any modern MacBook of any type would handle 4K just fine.
Shouvik Bandyopadhyay it does have T2 chip
What’s a T2 chip?
What a great video!
I've been waiting for this since this model announced.
Definitely want to see how this machine does with an eGPU.
wingsley same
Same

Thats really helpful max! U deserve more subscribers !
I got this laptop solely for schoolwork via the cloud (i.e. google ecosystem), this is why I did not mind the 128GB at the time, little did I know that "other" storage eats up 30gb out of the box. I have tried video editing in 1080p in blender; render times are good and the scrubbing is OK, it could be better, whether that is the laptop's fault or blender's is up to debate. Also the keyboard feels good to use once you get used to it.
Overall, the laptop is a very powerful system for the money.
Holy shit. Changing the project settings from open cl to metal for gpu acceleration has just improved a render time by 30% in Premiere on a simple grade to some 8 bit 4K footage. I can’t believe i didn’t have this set, thank you Max!
Edit - check what is said at 5:00
Is premiere Pro working fine in macbook pro 2019 13 inch?
Seriously considering returning the Air I just bought 2 days ago and getting the Pro instead. Good video.
This was very informative, and not only for covering what a 2019 13" MBP is capable of. This also provides a window into what other small form factor laptops and tablets might be able to do. I'd be fine with offloading to a workstation for rendering and grading if I can assemble and cut 4K video on the road with something small and with great battery life.
I think even the 12 inch MacBook can do 4K edits. I think FCPX is just ultra optimised
Major Production companies prefer to use 'proxy's on a 4k timeline (premier pro) to bring down the resolution to create a butter smooth timeline which upon finishing can be unproxied to reveal its fullness in the export.
So your average Dad editing home video with iMovie will be cruising with the base MBP.
Before I watch this video .... yes it can!
You're definitely an advanced editor and color person. Glad, you share your experiences with us sir. I will definitely be purchasing one of these machines. Unlike, the new 15 inch MacBook Pro. Thank you Max and God bless.
THANKS! This exactly what I wanted to see!
I use FCPX on a trash can Mac Pro. FCPX is unusable on my 2011 MBP. I can't justify a high end MBP that isn't upgradable. I will definitely be looking at the new 13".
Have u tried optimising the video? I also have some problems with specifics videos amd codecs
I am definitely getting one after watching this video. Thank you
Did you get one ?
How is the performance?
Of course I want to see this machine with an eGPU!
Also, on FCPX, you had the quality on better quality vs better performance. So it makes me wonder how the 4K editing experience would be if you chose Better Performance. Probably worth looking into.
Really really great video Max! It’s more important for me when you do test with timeline smoothness than only with exporting times.👍🏻
There is absolute no point to use 1:1 or 1:2 with resolution that MacBook pro has. You have video preview like 1:3 of screen which in resolution is about 850x 530. That's about fourth of 4k footage. Only if you use it with 4k monitor with full screen video preview you have some benefits.
yes please do a video of an eGPU attached to the base 2019 13in MacBookPro editing 4K video, thank you
And you can play half resolution on your timeline in DavinciResolve It will go like a rocket when also optimized media used in DavinciResolve 16
Very useful video! I am considering a Macbook pro or Ipad Pro for video editing so this helps. Thanks.
yeah thinking of buying specially for editing.
Convinced that I can edit my videos on FCP on this MacBook Pro
Codec has a lot to do with editing capabilities as well not just resolution and so does where your reading and writing files too.
Nice video! I have an insight on to the Resolve performance that might be of interest. I have a fully loaded 2016 15” MacBook Pro. Resolve stutters on a dissolve but if you wait a few seconds it runs perfectly. It looks like what happens is that it renders in the background automatically. I think that’s why your clip stuttered at first and suddenly worked perfectly a little later.
just for clarification, even if it's choppy, will the video still export to be fine?
I spoke to one of the Apple business account chaps about upgrading my iMac and highlighted my only concern was the lack of T2 chip and was amazed when he told me that the T2 is ONLY in devices with touch sensors for unlocking!
I said the iMac Pro has one and got told it didn't. Am I going nuts or didn't Apple's keynote highlight that the T2 was a key feature of the iMac Pro?
Yes, the iMac Pro has the T2 chip. That Apple biz dude is a loser.

Thanks for this vid! You made me decide
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. Really down to the point. To cut a long story (very) short. Bought recently an iPhone and didn't even felt the need go search a tutorial for imovie. So easy, should I explore the Mac world? I manage a sports team and need to feed social media during the actual event. This on the hobby level, however is really in the border and some 'professional' look is needed. 'Dropped dead' just trying to color grade in DavinciR from go pro footage to what is immediately 'iphone film quality'! Grateful for your time and #staysafe as we need to flatten the curve at this point in time! Cheers
thanks for this - definitely good to know.
I’d like to see how it does at photo editing vs the 15inch.
Can you compare the video editing capabilities of the 16 inch MacBook Pro vs the new 13 inch MacBook Pro?
Hey Max nice video like always, :) i think on Davinci it was not as smooth because like you said its still on beta but i think it was because the free version of it limits performance, try again with a paid version when its released :)
It was actually the studio version.
Hi Max, thanks so much for this great video, mate. Do you think this machine running DaVinci Resolve can edit 1080p video with colour correction and transitions okay? Blessings, Steve.
How about a video on GPU's for EGPU use?
External GPU Is the Future.
Go on with a Razer Core.
_Cheers from Italy_
eGPU is big bullshit right now in video editing on mac
@@joshhhab using eGPU with my 2012 MBP, cuts 4k like butter with no proxies and tons of filters
@@MrVh78 What eGPU setup are you using? And is it the 13'' you're using? Are you running mojave?
@@mauricesaunders5460 rx580 gigabyte gaming box. It's a 15 inch 2012 MBP in the latest version of Mojave as of today, 13 inch will also work since FCPX has now an option to use eGPU ( mojave) eGPU is the future for Macs, Im now going to buy a mac mini 2018 6core i7 and use it with my eGPU and get the power of a Mac Pro for less that half the price
ahh, Max, you beat me to the video! :D Had the exact same video planned.
But what's the CPU stats program/app you're using?
Hey! I'm using istat menu and intel power gadget.
Would going from a late < 2016 15” MBP 2.6 i7, 16gb RAM, RADEON PRO 460 4gb, 512gb SSD > to this new entry level 13” MBP be a downgrade?
This would be a great comparison ;)
@@tkarim Yes it will be, mainly because of the graphics since 2019 13" are slower and also only 1.5G of vram. The CPU in the $1299 2019 model is actually faster than that i7.
Max Yuryev thank you 🙏
Was it 4k60 or 30?
Good video man, I am currently looking to get a new macbook pro but I am wondering the 15" with the 6 core i9, 16gb or ram and the standard graphic will do the job? Seem in your video you test the high end ones
Would be amazing if you could review the BH recommended Asus Zenbook for editing. See if it can handle 4k editing. Thanks for the video.
Another great video, thanks Max. Yes, for sure would love to see what it’ll do with an eGPU
for film school, what would be best? 15" macbook pro i9, 16gb ram, 560x graphics, 512gb OR same specs but upgrade to 32gb for $432 more? Is that upgrade worth that much more money?
Do you plan to test how good performance is with the latest version of Final Cut Pro x? Hopefully the Mac Pro is an indication that Apple still takes FCPX seriously. Apparently you get 50% faster export frame rates with BruceX. That is a huge improvement to GPU performance.
I’m SO confused. Is this the same Max from Max Tech? The room is the same, his voice is similar, and they look very much alike. Are these two brothers both named Max doing tech RUclips reviews of the same products in the same studio? OMG what is going on here?
Matthew Sommerville oh shxt lol
Excellent video, very professional. But you sound so overexcited like you ve just discovered discovered America. $1300 for 8g and 128 g is not a bargain in my book. Good value is $2000 for an i7 with 16g and 1t for a 13” mbp. The reason they keep prices high is because you are not critical enough. For example look at smartphones. Even one plus and Huawei sell them for 700$.
Djk0t totally agree with you
Alan May forgot to mention the scam with the iPhone , iPad and mbp capacity options. This is the most disrespectful consumer behavior of any company and still people like these channel support them. It is such a scam.
Editing in 2.7 k woth basic video editing, think this one is gonna be great...don’t worry I use it for a lot of other stuff😉
Hey Max, thanks for the video! I bought a GoPro, a drone and my phone all have 4k video, and ive got the same Mac, how ever im using iMovie the stock app, does this have 4k editing and exporting video, or would I have to use some of the programs you used? thanks!
If i was to add the the Blackmagic eGPU tower to this model , what editing be much smoother for 4k?
I would love to see this machine attached to an egpu for Premiere Pro editing.
Hi Max! I'm torn between the macbook pro 2019 base model and the 2019 imac 4k base model.
I want to upgrade my 2011 21.5 imac. And my main use would be photo and video editing as a hobbyist/enthusiast.
I know the MacBook pro should be faster and overall more powerful, but having the tinny screen and just 2 thunderbolt ports kills me. Apart the thing that 128gb is very little and I'll have to be using a external ssd for almost everything. I thi k that just with the OS, lightroom, photoshop and da Vinci or fcp, the 128 ssd is already full.
I know the imac has a much slower hard drive, but I can always buy an external ssd and install the os there and boot everything from there and use the 1 Tera hard drive for storage only I guess.
Right now I have my 2011 imac booted from an ssd and it is a game changer.
I'm thinking about buying a $1299 model. I'll be using it mainly for video and photo editing as well as graphic designing and illustration. what are your thoughts?
lets see some eGPU videos with this
Good sir I do believe if all clips in the media pool of davinci resolve were set to generate optimized media and then select half or even quarter resolution playback davinci would perform much much better.
Great video, would the base model 15 inch be a lot better for editing 4k on premier pro? Or would the export times be just as long ?
DaVinci Resolve using optimized media should run a LOT better
Best buy has a sale until Monday MacBook air 2018 512 ssd and 16gig ram. A few dollars cheaper than 2019 base model MacBook pro. What do you think?
Raychard Kho buy from apple if you're in canada.. the have back to school deal till 29 sept. 13 inch pro for 1550 with $400 beats free
Is it worth the money to upgrade to 16GB RAM for 4k video editing? Or is it not that much of an improvement? Thanks
Would upgrading the ram make that much of a difference? or is it the egpu that is the biggest limit? Yes test it with the eGPU
I talk about RAM towards the end.
Ram would helps for pictures on things like lightroom and photoshop, Egypt's are mainly good for video editing and rendering
It was the 16gb ram model?
Please make that video if you can. Definitely want to see how this renders with an EGPU compared to your 15" MBP.
There are a couple videos about this already. It keeps pace with the Vega 20. In my opinion, it's good because it saves you a lot of money, but it's not so good because it makes it more difficult to be portable as in having to lug around the MacBook and the eGPU in a big bag wherever you go.
hi, what about editing 4k H.265 on higher specs macbook 2019 , which one would you recommend in terms of price? And edit with much effects? 10 Bit video editing? Still need proxys or not? Because I am on Windows now with a Gigabyte 2019 Oled Model Rtx 2070max Q, with I7 9th gen CPU, 16GB Ram, but I can't do anything without creating Proxies and even with normal effects its not smooth in premiere Pro... Thanks, and nice video :)
I am thinking about this one only i think i need more ports... not sure yet.... but audiointerface some external thunderbolt storage (nvme) i think a 4 port would be better.. so maybe a 15” is better for me...
Yeah I'm not sure 2 ports will enough for me either
If the Footage is not for professional use it’s better Luma Fusion on a 12.9 iPad...
Hi Max,great review.i just need your advice on which MacBook Pro to buy.im currently using a Sony a7iii and shoot in 4K.i wanna start taking videos of events like birthdays and weddings.I’ll probably use da Vinci resolve for now and purchase the final cut later.which MacBook Pro would you recommend? Thanks
If your just getting started but want the computer to last get a base 16” MacBook Pro. 👍 if you start with resolve just stick with it!
Max Yuryev that’s out of my budget,can u recommend the MacBook Pro 13 inch with 256 ssd.($1499) if I’m going to buy the Final Cut Pro?thanks for the advice
If that’s your budget then it should work ok in FCX (like I show in this video) but I would personally buy a used base 2018 for the same price if you can find one.
I'm currently editing through FCPX at the low-end MBP 13' with color grading and effects, the only issue is 8GB of RAM is totally not enough, looking forward to do some Premier work through it. Thanks for this Video and the info, totally suggest upgrade RAM to 16GB or more for editing. thanks
What video quality do you edit on 1080p? Also does working on adobe photoshop heat it up
So the conclusion, base model macbook pro 2019 performance is better significantly than macbook pro 2018? or just bump a little bit performance?
im really thinking about buying the 16 gb ram and 256gb model. Great video man! do more pls
I'm seriously considering the same. I've got a 2013 15" MacBook Pro on my desk that's working fine. However, I could use this new 13" for travel, etc. and have it ready to go if my 2013 model poops out.
Thanks Max. What would be a good egpu for this macbook pro?
Good one Max.
how is the base 2019 13inch vs 2017 15inch with 555?
Hi Max. Great video. Please could you shed some light on the thunderbolt 3 bandwidth offered by this machine. Is there enough to have both an Egpu as well as a thunderbolt 3 dock like the caldigit ts3? Is each thunderbolt 3 port “full speed”?
Is it reliable for video editing? Especially if you're editing same day edit videos?
If I'm only going to edit 1080p 120fps, will the base model do a good job? I have no choice but to purchase this model. I can't push it to 16GB RAM because it will take 40 to 60 days before it will be delivered should I order a custom config. Someone please confirm I am making a good decision.
i hv a question..can we upgrade out macbook pro SSD?
What software did you drop down to check the usage?
Just going to wait for Dave2d for an honest review.
I will send you a scale so you can understand what a ton of anything really is. Also Max, who is we?- if you have a 'team' give them some credit by having them say hello.
regarding Resolve playback issue, i think it's a software issue. i experienced similar issues with previous version of Resolve on my 32gb RAM iMac. i am not sure what is going on. but seems Resolve needs to "warm up" a bit sometimes... sometimes if you change where the playback starts will make a difference, not really sure
Can it handle 1080p footage flawlessly?
For 1299, it better be able to
What performance monitor tool do you use?
What will perform better? A 1300$ Windows laptop in Premiere pro (i7 gtx 1050) or the 2019 13" MacBook Pro?
U a Amazing!
U always make the video wt i want to know!
What video editing are u using here
Is 8 gb ram enough for the daily use and small/basic video and photo works?
I'm not an expert like Max and I would say yes. I have a 2011 iMac that I do basic video editing in 1080p and photo editing and it works fine outside of some period lag simply from me having it so long. So a 2019 laptop which shows a solid ability to edit 4k, I'm sure can handle those basic tasks. Hope this helps
Thank you
For the $1799 model should I upgrade the ram to 16gb? Or upgrade the ssd to 512gb? I can only do one or the other.
Pls answer someone
Ram
RAM for sure.
Neil Larson thanks guys
You custom custom lut effect at 2:40, but did not choose a lut? No effect.
How about iMovie?
Dose it get heat while edit 4 video sir ? If I use this laptop for edit 4k on daily base , will it get slow ?
What about After Effects?
I’m wondering is its a good choice for AutoCAD or should I go with 16gb?
What about 4k prores. Both HEVC and H2.64 are not real capture codecs.
What cpu version of this laptop, i5 1.4 ghz or…
I have a Macbook Pro 15 ”2013. Is it good to upgrade to this Macbook Pro 13” 2019?
No you should get the m1 MacBook Air it will do more that what you need and is cheaper than the m1 MacBook Pro. If you are on a smaller budget you can always look at refurbished models or just get the m1 Mac mini since it is the best and cheapest (cheapest depending what monitor, keyboard, and mouse you get)
What about 1440p?
