I was a PC user for years, and I was always thinking "well, Macs suck because you can't upgrade. I'm not buying a PC for 2 years!". But the reality is that, at the time, my PC was running very very slow after 2 years. I needed to format the hard drive to start fresh. (Win 95, Win 98, Win XP times, who remembers ? ahaha). But 7 years ago, I bought a 13" Macbook Pro and it never failed me. I never formatted my HD, I never felt the need to upgrade my machine... and I'm still using it on battery for at least 90 min without a charge.
The last Mac I bought was a $3000 MacBook Pro in 2011 and that thing had major thermal issues. I would never consider another Mac laptop until the M1 because it just seemed like Apple couldn’t figure out how to create a good cooling system.
The aesthetic of your videos are sooooo fantastic... could you ever consider doing a video of how u light your videos? The kind of lighting setup, the power, where do u set them... I know it’s a long shot, but would love it! Congrats for such a high level work.
Here’s a link from Daring Fireball and Apple Developer about the difference if you want to read more. daringfireball.net/linked/2020/11/28/rosetta-translation
Probably my biggest pet peeve of M1 coverage. Avg person shouldn’t care but helps explain the performance gains vs traditional emulation/virtualization.
@@stalman if R5 with improved thermal heatsink can sustain recording limits, and M1 chip Macs can edit the file without stuttering. Would you use R5 more for video?
Ohhhhh man I've been waiting for this one. I upgraded from my late 2013 13" back in June to a 2020 13" 4-port model. The difference in performance has already been bonkers. Going from 8gb to 16gb of RAM and doubling the cores has made Lightroom and Photoshop far, far more usable. I've been able to open a good 15-20 500mb TIFF files in Photoshop for compositing without it breaking much of a sweat. The only real time I wait for it is while it's saving over the network to my gaming desktop/storage monster. So, while I'm gushing about the machine I type this on, I'm faced with the reality that I paid a good $2,600 CAD for it, when I could now theoretically get about 1.6x the multicore performance for nearly $1k less. I'm VERY excited to see what's in store for the high end 13" and the 16".
I’ve got an Alienware laptop, 2 years old. Just love horses. All of them under the hood. With these new M1 machines, highways on-ramps were made for gear heads

Can you speak more to what the 2020 iMac does better or faster than the M1’s with video editing? For my use case, I use a 2020 16” loaded MBP and I can easily choke my system (final cut) when editing glitchy style intros or more commercial style stuff. Essentially I have to use proxy’s anyway so in that case are the M1’s still “better” in some things? Or would a loaded iMac still be better if I’m working with proxy’s anyway?
I was a Windows guy all my life until the M1 chip. They are going to have a hard time selling Windows machines when people realize how far ahead Apple is with the M1 line. It's not even competitive. Battery life is amazing. Granted, I've only had my MBP a few days but I still haven't had the fan come on yet and it is cool to the touch.
Thank you for showing what Photoshop looks like on a 13" MBA. Another reviewer said he could only see "3-4" layers at any given time and he was clearly exaggerating. From what I see and the work I do, this is more than satisfactory real estate for a portable machine.

@@user-dh5fp4gw1b Yes for editing, not so much for exporting. It definitely struggles while an export is going. I could live with 8gb easily for personal use, but if you do need the productivity, get 16gb.
Hey Tyler, good video. Ive been litterally waiting for your review on m1 but i was expecting couple of other things in this review. Like multiple raw files converting to tiff on capture one, or calibrating the monitor, or using a wacom tablet. How do they work? If i have use a second monitor will i be able to calibrate it? Can i use wacom tablet properly?

I hope you can make a video about them. Thank you :)
M1 Air with 16gb RAM vs M1 pro with 8gb RAM? Which one would you recommend for a student who uses multiple chrome tabs, Microsoft apps, pdfs, etc and wants to keep the laptop for the next 3-4 years?
@@udit3566 I've watched a zillion videos on the M1 machines now, and from your use case, I would expect you'd be fine with the base M1 Air. However, if you really want to make sure you're squared away for big workloads, the extra RAM in either the Air or Pro is what I'd be looking at. Reason is that it cannot be upgraded, while you can use external drives for more storage to solve any capacity issues.
If you are a music professional, you shouldn't get the M1 Macs right now unless you run Logic Pro. I am a music producer, got the awesome 16GB 13" M1 MBP, but most of my hardware isn't supported (Universal Audio, talking about you) and lots of software too. And it's not just the M1 architecture but Big Sur in general. Just letting you guys know, may safe some otherwise returned Macs so that Santa won't have to kill the elves because of those returned products
I love how the RUclipsrs think that mac is going to take over the world... and how they measure computational capacity by how fast you can create and upload videos on RUclips... but I am really excited about the new M1.. lets hope you have Bootcamp support anytime soon because in real life some applications only run in windows.
"Destroy the whole windows laptop market for a while". While I agree the hype is real, I am not sure how much that's true. People buy Windows laptops for 3 major reasons. Variety of hardware choices, games, and price. None of those are addressed with what Apple has done. If you were an Apple customer before, Apple is doing a great job of offering you better tools. But if you had reasons to not be an apple customer to date, nothing within the current offering is going to bring people over. I feel the closest thing, will be battery life. But 20 hour batteries exist on the windows side as well.
I know what you mean, gamers won't care and anyone who wants to customize will be disgusted by the M1. But I'm will to bet that MacBook Air will start to way outsell every other $1000 machine and that is a huge slice of the pie
@@stalman Even I, a hardcore PC guy since the early 90s would buy an Air or Pro if I wanted a portable machine for work/media and video editing on the go today. Apple really changed the game and as a hardware enthusiast we knew it was coming. ARM is just way faster/clock than x86 if you make the right software. Good video!
@@OlaJustin "if I wanted a portable machine for work/media and video editing on the go today". If that was your use case, you would probably already be a Mac user. That's my point. At Mac things (video and audio), it's revolutionary. I would love to own one, but I need Visual Studio to run on my computer. I also use the GTX 2070 and 144hz screen in my current laptop to play games. If neither of those things were what I wanted in a laptop, I would own a Mac (again).
Good info of real use. Adobe documents that Lr & Ps have issue’s with the M1 chip? You mentioned “Rosetta” to run Lr & Ps. Is Rosetta an automatic addition or do you have to find it ~ any chance you can elaborate on this (and using Rosetta, does it reduce the effect of the M1chip?)
I have a Photography class, and my class use Lrc. I want to know it's work, If I want to use macbook pro with Lrc Application? Sorry, My English very bad. Thank you😊
Great video! Very insightful. The one problem holding me back from going all in on this laptop is it’s ability to process Adobe in a timely manner. Or even using Adobe at all. After watching a few videos I’ve seen people having problems with workflow on premier, which I use heavily for freelance work
Great video! Thoughts on a keyboard cover for M1 MacBook Pro? I’m hearing conflicting opinions. One negative being potential permanent marks on screen. Also, potentially applying additional pressure to screen given tight fit when closed.
Did you just say that Squarespace was the BEST and CHEAPEST place to build a website? And now you expect st we should believe in you in the rest of video? No Way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great stuff Tyler. Commercial looks really nice as well. I’ve got a Komodo vs C70 video coming soon and I took some of your feedback in to account that you gave on my c200 vs Komodo video.
What do you use to transfer video/photos to M1 Mac Book Pro? My laptop cracked during normal use and after having the new laptop repaired, I'm having a problem transferring video/photos to laptop. There's a class action lawsuit against Apple for its defective product. I've used Apple products for years, but I find the M1 Mac Book Pro defective.
Because of the different format, geek bench is not a good test for x86 against m1. It turns out that Apple’s M1 single-threaded benchmarks are even more misleading than we originally anticipated. According to a source, the single-threaded tests that were thrown around in the last month or so, most notably Geekbench, and Cinebench don’t properly utilize x86 CPUs wccftech.com/why-apple-m1-single-core-comparisons-are-fundamentally-flawed-with-benchmarks/ This totally explains fully why the 4 core 11th gen cpu from intel matches or beats the m1 in single core, and scores 6700 with 4 cores, against 7700 m1 macs with 8cores. In current single core benchmarks, they are only using one thread of the x86 cpu, which means it is not recording 30% of its performance. So in actuality, intel and amd have the highest single core, and multicore scores currently on the market. Apple came close, but no cigar, if you take that fact into consideration. The M1's are still fantastic buys, not because they have faster cores, they do not, but because of their machine learning, ai, special encoding, rendering, decoding, custom chips for video and photos, and their new architecture, that puts everything close on a 5nm chip, allowing for more transistors, and more performance per watt, like Huawei, then 7nm, and 10nm x86 chips, that need more power, more cooling, and more room. True techie's will see past the hype, and limitations, and love all of the competition in the cpu space, each has pluses, and minuses, and we all benefit. Just be careful not to get caught up in all the hype of the m1, or Huawei, Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, and others, when they release new cpu's, and is mostly advertising and propaganda.
This is about capabilities/performance, and not workflow. Bad title. Disappointed. Wasted my time. Maybe discuss workflow and how M1 may have changed/improved it???
I’m baffled, I was ready to pull trigger on the new 13 inch MacBook Pro M1, contacted Capture One which I have subscription. They told me that at this point Capture One will not run on M1 MacBooks?
Everyone thinks the Air is going to be the cheapest Macbook they release, but I completely disagree. I fully expect a 12" Air to come out when they do a refresh. This would essentially just be the 12" Macbook that they discontinued last yeah but perhaps with a better webcam. I also think they'll recycle the M1 down to that computer while the refreshed 13" Air will get the update M2. They'll probably price the 12" around 699-799. This will be a huge blow to PC's and a huge boon for Apple.
I heard wacom drivers do not work on m1. If I purchased an m1, then few months wacom optimized their drivers for m1 to work, would my purchased m1 update for that or it can't? And do you think if i buy the base air with 16gb ram, will it last at least 4 years?
i went to JB hi fi and used new M1 for few minutes, if apple just adds 120hz pro motion and make bezel thin,trust me a lot of people going to switch from windows to mac. The fact macOS comes with iWork apps like pages, numbers which i find sometimes better than Microsoft office and privacy like inbuilt filecault, encrypting folders and all make them cheaper than other manufacturers. Apple is future.
I always appreciate when the Stalmaster gives his feedback 👌🏻 beautifully done as always! 👍🏻 my laptop got stolen, so I’m going to pick one of these up as my portable work machine, and then get one of the new iMacs at a later stage for an home work machine. Because then I can wait for the really good stuff 👌🏻 a pitty I ordered the MBP, looking at how good the air is doing I could have saved some money’s, but we get some damn hot days here in South Africa and I think that fan will come in handy.
Why call it Real World performance !? It's just another review by video and photo editor's perspective. %99.9999 people doesn't using computer for video&photo editing.
Would really have been nice along with the information For your laptop that you had published a list along with it,it would have been much easier to follow you and much more appreciate.
Are there any reviews of people using this MacBook while editing in Premiere? Just want to know about render and export speed. FCPX works WAY different
Tyler - the R5 footage - are you using proxies or converting to ProRes? I’m in my journey to content creation and as I understand it - h265 essentially kills all computers as it’s highly compressed - and for some reason 4.2.2 is far more complex than 4.2.0
Yep, Apple has just changed the personal computing landscape. Using just a few watts compared to 140 watts of an Intel or AMD processor (for comparable workflows), is just nuts. Talk about disruptive innovation! I feel particularly bad about Intel. They seem so out-of-it.
Okay, let me share my two cents on this as a fellow UNIX/Linux user. From what I have seen right now the OS is way worse than a KDE Plasma with Latte Dock - and I did the ultimate test here by asking my Mrs. which 'Mac' she would buy and she likes my Linux GUI more, saying that the actual Mac OS looks too complicated . Now let's talk hardware for a bit. 4 'performance cores' and 4 'efficiency cores' are either the same bollocks that I have in my $200 budget smartphone from the 'evil' Chinese company called Huawei or just this hyperthreading thing where I have 4 actually fully featured cores whilst there is 4 more cores without an FPU, so I won't really recommend to run anything on these... So what this really comes down to is a $65 Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB in a MacBook 'Pro' case with an ugly GUI for over twice the price of an Lenovo ThinkPad E595 with 32GB RAM and two SSDs, one of which being an NVMe one. I don't know about you guys but in Germany we call this full on FRAUD. Yes my friends, full on FRAUD, that's what it is! So my suggestion to solve this issue: Either keep your 'old' X86 Mac or get yourself the cheapest Lenovo Laptop there is, get some cool stickers to put on the back and install Linux. And if you want an actually very stylish beyond Apple look and feel I would suggest Hefftor Linux Plasma which just happened to have released a new version which you can download under www.hefftorlinux.net . Welcome to 2021! g hjk

what is happening with the frames of this video? is it like a flickering light?? or a problem with the camera?? or a problem with the sync between the frequencies between the camera and the light?? idk
Considering he Canon R5's overheating issues, how did you managed to shoot this (and the other videos)? Doesn't the shutting down/waiting time after get overheated bothers you/your content creation workflow? Fantastic overall video quality by the way(imagem, sound and arguments).
I watch both of your videos with the M1 chips in laptop and desktop which one you Prefer if you have to choose one out of the two ? Especially working with lots of photography programs. Thanks
Just sold my MBP 13” late 2016 with 8 gigs RAM for 40% of the purchase price in 3 days. A good deal. Ordered the new MBP 13” M1 with 16 gigs RAM and I’m looking forward to get a small beast as my secondary Mac (main Mac is my iMac) for travel use, teathered use and editng photos and videos (shooting with Sony A7$ iii and A7R iii) on the go. I think the new “lower” pricing will fit a lot of pro users as their 2nd Mac, and consumers as well. Great video with actually editing tests. Thanks for sharing.
Basically the R5 records 422 H.265 10 bit and most GPU's only have accelerated decoding for 420 10 Bit. But iphones and ipad's using Apple Silicon have had 422 acceleration for a while, and now it's here on their macbook.
If they release a Macbook 2-3 years later with the M1 chip and sell it for $799, kinda like what they did with the $329 iPad (selling an iPad with a 2 generation old chip and an old chassis), THEN that will be a game changer.
Did you transcode the R5 footage before editing it? Has anybody tried editing 10-bit R6 4K footage on these macs without transcoding and can let me know how smooth it edits? I’m due for an upgrade and these are very tempting
You are running apps thats running throught rosetta2 also( translating all x86 code live to ARM code in the background) so when adobe and phaseone have updated their apps to ARM versions the performance will increase alot
Destroying Intel is something but I would be amazed if tomorrow Apple can provide a mac with the graphics power needed to replace the Quadros I need as an engineer.

@@deadtothewxrld Thanks mate.. I am going for the base air for now. Will consider upgrading it in 2-3 years in case it gets slow.
I love watching tech I can't afford.
If you are a music professional, you shouldn't get the M1 Macs right now unless you run Logic Pro. I am a music producer, got the awesome 16GB 13" M1 MBP, but most of my hardware isn't supported (Universal Audio, talking about you) and lots of software too. And it's not just the M1 architecture but Big Sur in general. Just letting you guys know, may safe some otherwise returned Macs so that Santa won't have to kill the elves because of those returned products
I love how the RUclipsrs think that mac is going to take over the world... and how they measure computational capacity by how fast you can create and upload videos on RUclips... but I am really excited about the new M1.. lets hope you have Bootcamp support anytime soon because in real life some applications only run in windows.
Totally off-topic, but where did you get that shirt?
I have that same one, it’s a JCrew shirt.
@@datapenguin Could you please hit me up with a link my man? i wasn't able to find it :(
"Destroy the whole windows laptop market for a while". While I agree the hype is real, I am not sure how much that's true. People buy Windows laptops for 3 major reasons. Variety of hardware choices, games, and price. None of those are addressed with what Apple has done. If you were an Apple customer before, Apple is doing a great job of offering you better tools. But if you had reasons to not be an apple customer to date, nothing within the current offering is going to bring people over. I feel the closest thing, will be battery life. But 20 hour batteries exist on the windows side as well.
I know what you mean, gamers won't care and anyone who wants to customize will be disgusted by the M1. But I'm will to bet that MacBook Air will start to way outsell every other $1000 machine and that is a huge slice of the pie
@@stalman Even I, a hardcore PC guy since the early 90s would buy an Air or Pro if I wanted a portable machine for work/media and video editing on the go today.
Apple really changed the game and as a hardware enthusiast we knew it was coming. ARM is just way faster/clock than x86 if you make the right software.
Good video!
@@OlaJustin "if I wanted a portable machine for work/media and video editing on the go today". If that was your use case, you would probably already be a Mac user. That's my point. At Mac things (video and audio), it's revolutionary. I would love to own one, but I need Visual Studio to run on my computer. I also use the GTX 2070 and 144hz screen in my current laptop to play games. If neither of those things were what I wanted in a laptop, I would own a Mac (again).
What do you think about the use of the Mac mini as the main workhorse?
Good info of real use. Adobe documents that Lr & Ps have issue’s with the M1 chip? You mentioned “Rosetta” to run Lr & Ps. Is Rosetta an automatic addition or do you have to find it ~ any chance you can elaborate on this (and using Rosetta, does it reduce the effect of the M1chip?)
I have a Photography class, and my class use Lrc. I want to know it's work, If I want to use macbook pro with Lrc Application?
Sorry, My English very bad.
Thank you😊
Great video! Very insightful. The one problem holding me back from going all in on this laptop is it’s ability to process Adobe in a timely manner. Or even using Adobe at all. After watching a few videos I’ve seen people having problems with workflow on premier, which I use heavily for freelance work
Great video! Thoughts on a keyboard cover for M1 MacBook Pro? I’m hearing conflicting opinions. One negative being potential permanent marks on screen. Also, potentially applying additional pressure to screen given tight fit when closed.
Touché - I’d also like to know.
Did you just say that Squarespace was the BEST and CHEAPEST place to build a website?
And now you expect st we should believe in you in the rest of video?
No Way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great stuff Tyler. Commercial looks really nice as well. I’ve got a Komodo vs C70 video coming soon and I took some of your feedback in to account that you gave on my c200 vs Komodo video.
What do you use to transfer video/photos to M1 Mac Book Pro? My laptop cracked during normal use and after having the new laptop repaired, I'm having a problem transferring video/photos to laptop. There's a class action lawsuit against Apple for its defective product. I've used Apple products for years, but I find the M1 Mac Book Pro defective.
Thanks, already bought a month back just wanted to be assured of keeping it if i use 4k60😅 (base)
Bought one today for my wife.
Because of the different format, geek bench is not a good test for x86 against m1.
It turns out that Apple’s M1 single-threaded benchmarks are even more misleading than we originally anticipated. According to a source, the single-threaded tests that were thrown around in the last month or so, most notably Geekbench, and Cinebench don’t properly utilize x86 CPUs
wccftech.com/why-apple-m1-single-core-comparisons-are-fundamentally-flawed-with-benchmarks/
This totally explains fully why the 4 core 11th gen cpu from intel matches or beats the m1 in single core, and scores 6700 with 4 cores, against 7700 m1 macs with 8cores.
In current single core benchmarks, they are only using one thread of the x86 cpu, which means it is not recording 30% of its performance.
So in actuality, intel and amd have the highest single core, and multicore scores currently on the market.
Apple came close, but no cigar, if you take that fact into consideration.
The M1's are still fantastic buys, not because they have faster cores, they do not, but because of their machine learning, ai, special encoding, rendering, decoding, custom chips for video and photos, and their new architecture, that puts everything close on a 5nm chip, allowing for more transistors, and more performance per watt, like Huawei, then 7nm, and 10nm x86 chips, that need more power, more cooling, and more room.
True techie's will see past the hype, and limitations, and love all of the competition in the cpu space, each has pluses, and minuses, and we all benefit.
Just be careful not to get caught up in all the hype of the m1, or Huawei, Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, and others, when they release new cpu's, and is mostly advertising and propaganda.
This is about capabilities/performance, and not workflow. Bad title.
Disappointed. Wasted my time.
Maybe discuss workflow and how M1 may have changed/improved it???
I’m baffled, I was ready to pull trigger on the new 13 inch MacBook Pro M1, contacted Capture One which I have subscription. They told me that at this point Capture One will not run on M1 MacBooks?
Everyone thinks the Air is going to be the cheapest Macbook they release, but I completely disagree. I fully expect a 12" Air to come out when they do a refresh. This would essentially just be the 12" Macbook that they discontinued last yeah but perhaps with a better webcam. I also think they'll recycle the M1 down to that computer while the refreshed 13" Air will get the update M2. They'll probably price the 12" around 699-799. This will be a huge blow to PC's and a huge boon for Apple.
I heard wacom drivers do not work on m1. If I purchased an m1, then few months wacom optimized their drivers for m1 to work, would my purchased m1 update for that or it can't? And do you think if i buy the base air with 16gb ram, will it last at least 4 years?
i went to JB hi fi and used new M1 for few minutes, if apple just adds 120hz pro motion and make bezel thin,trust me a lot of people going to switch from windows to mac. The fact macOS comes with iWork apps like pages, numbers which i find sometimes better than Microsoft office and privacy like inbuilt filecault, encrypting folders and all make them cheaper than other manufacturers. Apple is future.
I always appreciate when the Stalmaster gives his feedback 👌🏻 beautifully done as always! 👍🏻 my laptop got stolen, so I’m going to pick one of these up as my portable work machine, and then get one of the new iMacs at a later stage for an home work machine. Because then I can wait for the really good stuff 👌🏻 a pitty I ordered the MBP, looking at how good the air is doing I could have saved some money’s, but we get some damn hot days here in South Africa and I think that fan will come in handy.
Why call it Real World performance !? It's just another review by video and photo editor's perspective. %99.9999 people doesn't using computer for video&photo editing.
Would really have been nice along with the information For your laptop that you had published a list along with it,it would have been much easier to follow you and much more appreciate.
I use photoshop and illustrator for many hours with many layers huge psd files, should I purchase macbook pro m1 or hp spectre x360 i7 11th gen thanks
Are there any reviews of people using this MacBook while editing in Premiere? Just want to know about render and export speed. FCPX works WAY different
Tyler - the R5 footage - are you using proxies or converting to ProRes? I’m in my journey to content creation and as I understand it - h265 essentially kills all computers as it’s highly compressed - and for some reason 4.2.2 is far more complex than 4.2.0
The M1 Macs handle H265 without the need of proxies or ProRes conversion. Even in 4:2:2.
@@pascalbasel wow. I hear the R5/R6 are just insane files that require something. If your statement is accurate - this would be a giant game changer.
@@aamsergie Just watch all the reviews. It’s true. All the Intels are not optimized for H265 10bit 4:2:2, only 4:2:0. The M1 has this optimization.
Wow your video looks amazing! The quality is nuts and it looks sooo sharp! Amazing job keep it up!
Yep, Apple has just changed the personal computing landscape. Using just a few watts compared to 140 watts of an Intel or AMD processor (for comparable workflows), is just nuts. Talk about disruptive innovation! I feel particularly bad about Intel. They seem so out-of-it.
Okay, let me share my two cents on this as a fellow UNIX/Linux user. From what I have seen right now the OS is way worse than a KDE Plasma with Latte Dock - and I did the ultimate test here by asking my Mrs. which 'Mac' she would buy and she likes my Linux GUI more, saying that the actual Mac OS looks too complicated . Now let's talk hardware for a bit. 4 'performance cores' and 4 'efficiency cores' are either the same bollocks that I have in my $200 budget smartphone from the 'evil' Chinese company called Huawei or just this hyperthreading thing where I have 4 actually fully featured cores whilst there is 4 more cores without an FPU, so I won't really recommend to run anything on these... So what this really comes down to is a $65 Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB in a MacBook 'Pro' case with an ugly GUI for over twice the price of an Lenovo ThinkPad E595 with 32GB RAM and two SSDs, one of which being an NVMe one. I don't know about you guys but in Germany we call this full on FRAUD. Yes my friends, full on FRAUD, that's what it is! So my suggestion to solve this issue: Either keep your 'old' X86 Mac or get yourself the cheapest Lenovo Laptop there is, get some cool stickers to put on the back and install Linux. And if you want an actually very stylish beyond Apple look and feel I would suggest Hefftor Linux Plasma which just happened to have released a new version which you can download under www.hefftorlinux.net . Welcome to 2021!

hey nice review, by the way u r photoshop under rosetta or native big sur os?
and what model u r using there?
looking forward to your answer before I buy one.
I get what he's saying but these aren't going to take over the PC laptop market like the iPad right now at a thousand dollars I think he's out of touch with regular consumers . The premium market yes this is the one
Cool! Can you tell me what I might need for dealing with 6k Black Magic Pro? Thank you!
Hey Man, I hope you can answer my question, did you color calibrate the macbook screen? for adobe rgb mode or anything, please help me, I am new to mac
As wee all know nothing is perfect. I've been researching about dis for months. And the only thing bad I see about dis is repairability and storage price and ram
Great video... I like your shirt though ...:)
Great to see what competition in chip making achieves. Thanks for the video. Be well, be blessed, be safe!
How can i download free photoshop in macbook pro ?
Thank you so much!! You’ve made me save so much ahhahahahah! 🤍🙌🏾
It’s witchcraft!! I bought a Mac Mini and MacBook pro and benq monitor. Selling my 2017 iMac
what is happening with the frames of this video? is it like a flickering light?? or a problem with the camera?? or a problem with the sync between the frequencies between the camera and the light?? idk
That dude saying that people coming from "traditional background" would hate m1 is such bullshit lol
Considering he Canon R5's overheating issues, how did you managed to shoot this (and the other videos)? Doesn't the shutting down/waiting time after get overheated bothers you/your content creation workflow? Fantastic overall video quality by the way(imagem, sound and arguments).
I haven’t had it overheat yet
I watch both of your videos with the M1 chips in laptop and desktop which one you Prefer if you have to choose one out of the two ? Especially working with lots of photography programs. Thanks
I have a ryzen 5 3600 and 2070 super, should i sell it for a m1 air? And extra cash ofc lol
Just sold my MBP 13” late 2016 with 8 gigs RAM for 40% of the purchase price in 3 days. A good deal.
Ordered the new MBP 13” M1 with 16 gigs RAM and I’m looking forward to get a small beast as my secondary Mac (main Mac is my iMac) for travel use, teathered use and editng photos and videos (shooting with Sony A7$ iii and A7R iii) on the go.
I think the new “lower” pricing will fit a lot of pro users as their 2nd Mac, and consumers as well.
Great video with actually editing tests. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Tyler, do you think the Macbook Air M1 comes close to the Pro when it comes to video editing? Want to know your thoughts, Thanks!
Basically the R5 records 422 H.265 10 bit and most GPU's only have accelerated decoding for 420 10 Bit. But iphones and ipad's using Apple Silicon have had 422 acceleration for a while, and now it's here on their macbook.
If they release a Macbook 2-3 years later with the M1 chip and sell it for $799, kinda like what they did with the $329 iPad (selling an iPad with a 2 generation old chip and an old chassis), THEN that will be a game changer.
thats a nice shirt
Did you transcode the R5 footage before editing it? Has anybody tried editing 10-bit R6 4K footage on these macs without transcoding and can let me know how smooth it edits? I’m due for an upgrade and these are very tempting
Were you running the Photoshop through Rosetta?
You are running apps thats running throught rosetta2 also( translating all x86 code live to ARM code in the background) so when adobe and phaseone have updated their apps to ARM versions the performance will increase alot
Destroying Intel is something but I would be amazed if tomorrow Apple can provide a mac with the graphics power needed to replace the Quadros I need as an engineer.
What about R5 footage on premiere pro on the M1? Thanks!
