"the last thing you want to do is a bunch of edits, and then have to wait to see if it acctually looks the way you want it to look." ... reminded me of how it used to be all the time. Layering three images, adding fx, trying to time it to the music ,while only seeing black on playback (AVID)... and having to wait render to see the result. 6K was unheard of, we were only editing in SD ... Rendering meant it was time for a coffee break... we had a lot of those.

Of course you can edit videos on the base model M3 Mac. I used to edit on the base model M1 MacBook Pro. It'll get it done, 8GB of RAM is measly, but I got it done. I didn't like not having enough ports on the M1 13" MacBook Pro, I ended up grabbing the 14" MacBook Pro, mines has the unbinned M1 Pro, 10 core CPU, 16 core GPU.

@algebruh_m8652 2 месяца назад

@bonafidesimmons6237 5 месяцев назад

3:34 Brandon, big question...I have a MacBook Air M1 base model because that's all I could afford. I do have a T7 SSD though. I plan to shoot a short film in the spring and if I understand it right, I can edit from my SSD but how do I do that? I come from Windows computers so everything I do on my Macbook from downloading LUTS and putting them into FCPX to downloading an adjustment layer and installing it took me a loooong time.

Personally I have the base Model M3 MacBook Pro and I edit 4K24p HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 shot in S.Log.3 and S.Cinetone on the Sony A6700 and it works like a breeze, what I did was getting a 2TB LaCie SSD from Apple and Optimise/Transcode all my HEVC media into Apple ProRes 422 and edit straight from the SSD and it works like a charm. The new SSD's they use will last you long so you don't have to worry about swap memory at all, if it ever feels sluggish editing 8K footage maybe, you can go to FinalCut Pro and turn on Better Performance Issue or just use Proxies. For me it works flawlessly, I am also a software developer and I use Xcode a lot with a bunch of tabs open and it never slows down on me.

I edit on ad films on premiere pro which are shot on arri alexa or red then transcoded to apple pro res for offline edit and once my edit is locked we send it to resolve for a colorist to grade and then online edit for final deliveries... so I will never be editing on 6k - 4k resolutions... you think is a good laptop for even editing a 60 minute timeline on apple prores?

@sergiosanchez2012 6 месяцев назад

I think the Max is not really a good investment for a real pro workflow, not because of the SOC performance, but because when you want to use your laptop for a big production you´ll come across with a lot of issues, mainly connecting your very expensive machine to a SAN or NAS most of them are at least on 10GbE and dongles are unstable on Mac OS right now, they overheat after a couple of hours of work, randomly disconnect and you have to spend a lot of times and frustrations to find one that work just to be broken again by a OS or NLE software update. So my recommendation would be get an affordable laptop (mac or windows doesnt matter) and for real professional work get something that can be easily (and natively) connected to a fast network; the Mac Sudio it´s cheaper for the Max performance, comes with the right amount of RAM and it has 10GbE port integrated. You´ll be happier editing on that machine, with thermal headroom, more connectivity ports for monitors, drives, headphones and speakers and you can still use your laptop for all the other stuff while working. My two cents.

Thanks to your comment, I know I’m not on the “professional” spectrum as an editor (in a good way)

@sergiosanchez2012 2 месяца назад

@@VincentForDesign if you get money from editing videos, then you´re on the professional spectrum. My point is that the macs as expensive as they are and how they are marketed as the ultimate creative professional workstation at the end is very limited when you get a big job, and a cheaper non professional gaming laptop most of times has the proper hardware to perform in those enviroments much better than the Macbook pro. Yes they are good for editing but in all honesty any system since haswell has been great at that.

What do you suggest for a person who edits 3 days a week in 6.2K open gate 4:2:2 codec? M1 Max or M3 Pro with the same amount of RAM? (similar price point in my place). So far I'm trying to work on 3400 USD MacBook 16 Pro with Intel chip from 2019 and this praised by many pro machine is for really patient people, even in Final Cut Pro where simple transitions can pause your work for many minutes.

RED RAW is super easy to work with. I am not Apple fan but also I am not Apple opponent but RED RAW is one of the best footage to work with → much better and easier to edit than BRAW.

I have to say I absolutely agree with your thoughts overall, but especially on the memory- it is really disappointing from Apple that the base model starts at 8gb memory. This, in my specific case, has absolutely been enough of a reason for me to just stick with PC and Premiere Pro- because as much as I want to stick it to Adobe, I just can't justify spending nearly $2000 for a machine with 1/4 the memory of my desktop pc. FANTASTIC Video, thanks so much for your hard work and insights. You're a great video creator!

@jaredmeche6325 7 месяцев назад

This falls under the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" category. 8GB ram doesn't take much to go over with photo and video editing. Once it does that, it's using your m.2 SSD as overflow. That's a lot of unwanted read/write on your non-replaceable internal storage.

@dorinai 6 месяцев назад

That’s true but I have the M2 MacBook Air 13” with 8GB Ram and 512GB ssd, and I used it for SLog3 10-Bit footage shot on FX-30 in XAVC S / H264 and HEVC and I added about 14 effects when color grading and editing, stacked 4K clips and even if it used the NAND ssd for the past year, and it wrote 4TB to the SSD using swap, keeping in mind that the TBW (total bytes written) on the 256GB Slower base SSD is 150TB, but it can go far more than that. And for me I still have 100% life percentage. For people that want to know what app I used, I used DriveDX for in depth reports. And macOS is amazing at memory management. For me it’s been no problem, now I ordered the base model M3 MBP as my first MBP and I don’t regret it even a slight bit due to its active cooling and ports.

I've never worked a day in my life in video, film or ANYTHING to do with recording things...but I'm just a lil confused why anyone who try and run ANY business off a laptop. ESP something as demanding as video editing. Like I'm sure it can be done if one throws enough money at it, but that's with just about anything. I couldn't imagine not having custom PC with a nice large screen that can handle just about anything for the backbone of my business.

@vintage_15 Месяц назад

I see where you are coming from, but just the portability of laptops means you could work just about anywhere you really wanted to. Then that's where more expensive laptops come in. A MacBook like that can balance both the portability and preformance, meaning, yeah, a pc would be more powerful, but a lot of people also just like to work outside, and in other places, such as a place of work, at home, and just anywhere.
