      . It is a very vunerable process so PTL insurance worked with you. I know I'm late to this but I can relate I had my computer, xbox, and more stolen several years ago but the police were able to track the stuff down 🙌.There is a feeling of violation when you have things stolen that is just incomparable so having some help is such a blessing.

    Glad to see other videographers rocking the Air. I got an M1 Air with 16gbs of ram and resolve works great on it, at least until you throw fusion effects and transitions on the footage. But luckily you can disable those things on the edit timeline to speed up the edit.

    Well 14 inch base model has 512 and 16gb base for 1999$.. I would still prefer that because when you upgrade MBA specs to that it boosts to $1700 almost. At that point you should just get the pro because you are getting more ports and better display for color grading .. also it has more gpu cores so it is a lot better choice

    The DaVinci iPad issue with external drives is very annoying and common. It’s specific to their app too - it doesn’t happen for people in LumaFusion or Final Cut. Some think DaVinci is causing the drive to draw too much power, with iPadOS will then detach. I hope they fix it someday - it’s my main problem with Resolve on iPad too.

    I'm facing the same issue with Resolve missing media on my iPad Pro 12.9" (1TB, M2). I edit on the internal SSD, but unfortunately, the audio also disappears, rendering it useless. Additionally, overheating is a problem, leading to screen dimming. I've reached my limit of compromises and have decided to sell my iPad Pro for a laptop. It's undoubtedly a very cool and beautiful device, but it often becomes worthless, and in my opinion, it shouldn't be called 'Pro.' There are to many compromises with this device. Thanks for sharing this video.

    Please can you help a beginner here. I am yoga teacher. I use one setup (frame), one video, 40 min or so, fade in, fade out, little colout grading (brightness mostly) and ad some music in a background an background noise reduction. I normally have 1080p videos but considering going to 2k or maybe 4k in a future.
    How long does the export on this video lasts?
    This is important because I have yoga centar in Croatia and on top of my 20+ videos a month of editing, I have 30 more from my yoga teachers. So I need to have quick export. My edit lasts for about 10 min TOPS because I don't have much to do and it's all simple and automatic, but I have a lot of videos to process.
    Thank you very much for your help because, as you said, 300 euros are a big deal to me and I can not find export speed anywhere. I want Macbook Air, but I am not sure 16gb, 512 ssd M2 15'' will be fast enough. I edit in CapCut.

I have an M1 iMac, but I am more likely to work on things on the go away from my work from home setup. Would you recommend upgrading the memory to 16 GB memory and having 256 storage (working with an external ssd to export photos and video projects? Or do what you did - 8 GB memory and 512 storage? I’m trying to make the entire purchase under $1,600 before tax lol.

    The Macbook Air doesn’t have resilience for extensive workloads. Limited CPU and GPU cores and compromised by having no adequate cooling for the CPU, its target market is authors, school students, lawyers, parliamentarian aides, astrophotographers, live stage musicians who use computers as sound modules and controlling mixing desks like the Midas M32C or X32 rack etc. Anything beyond that target market, is better purchasing a Macbook Pro 14 inch for any significant production work.
