Yes 16gb ram is preferred but if you use these settings it won’t cause any problems as long as you don’t add more than 3 effects on the footage.

Please brother give your opinion. Take❤❤
I have the original late 2016 MBP that debuted this design. I bought it new with 256 GB storage and 8 GB RAM. In a week, I use iMovie to edit half a dozen 2-3min 1080p videos for my business. Occasionally I do a longer 10-12 min video in 4K or 1080p content. Still works great 👍🏽 Can’t imagine how it would be like to use a M1 or M2. I’m planning to get the 14” M2 with 1 TB storage and 16 GB ram when it comes out sometime next year.
i used 2015 i7 with 16gb final cut take 4hours for 15min wideo 1080p with filters and transitions crap :/ those computers are only fast if you dont do nothing with wideos (no filters coloring and no transitions)
As someone that uses an m1 MacBook Air quite heavily for video editing my initial impression of m2 is that it is more than capable of most things you throw at it and a lot of that is down to the speed of the internal SSD. I’d go as far as to say that most people probably don’t need a base M1 Pro MacBook Pro now that this chip exists
They halved the internal ssd speed of the baseline m2 pro. The baseline m1 MacBook air and m1 MacBook pro use two 128 gb ssd's working in tandem to speed up ssd work. Which gave them blazing speed. However, the down side of this method was that it meant apple had to produce both 128 gb ssd's and 256 gb ssd's for their most popular skews. (the 256 gb m1s and the 512 gb m1s) To cut down production costs for the m2 basic line. They decided to stop producing 128 gb ssds. And instead only produce 256 gb ssd's for the 256 gb m2's and 512 gb m2's. With the baseline m2 have one 256 gb ssd instead of two 128 gb ssd's. Negating the double ssd advantage of the baseline m1 line. So unless you go with the 512 gb model of the m2, your ssd speed is effectively halved vis a vis the older baseline m1s.

@@robertkeaney9905 thank you for the clarification. i’m going for the M2 MB Air’s 512 GB version, expanding it to 2TB with 16GB RAM (possibly 24). So I should be in the clear with having the same efficient speed that exists with M1’s MB Air, correct?
@@ShMartinJo Unless you live in an really really hot place and plan on using it outside. Then yes, It'll at least be as fast as the M1 MB Air. And it will be faster at certain tasks as well. The M2 air only has two weaknesses. It has less speed if you choose the 256 gb version. And it runs a bit hotter than the M1 MB Air since the M2 chip is basically an overclocked version of the m1 chip. Sort of like how the 13th gen intel chip set is basically just an suped up version of the 12th gen intel chip set. Which gives better performance but runs a tiny bit hotter.

Do not buy the base model of the M2 MacBook Pro! Unlike the M1 base model, Apple only populated one NAND slot in the new 256GB model. This cuts storage speed literally in half versus M1 model. If you get at least 512GB storage you will avoid this major drawback. Then both NAND slots are used with 2X 256GB chips so speed returns to normal.
If you starting with this you should also add more RAM. But if you are doing this you pay nearly the same as the 14“ MBP. So it makes no sende to upgrade the M2 MBP or Air…
@@simpromovie Once Apple comes out with the M2 Pro and Max and add $200-$300 to the 14 and 16 inch then adding more ram and ssd to the M2 air and 13" pro will make since.
I miss the chair-jump “ooof!” scene transitions you used to do. 😁 I edit on an M1 13” MBP. I’m doing paid work too. The editing and colour corrections are pretty much flawless on a 4K timeline, no proxies, etc. Effects, titles, noise reduction, all bring me down to single digit frame rates on playback. Resolve can render those elements out to bring playback back to full speed and if I want to change anything, I can get the original clips back and tweak it. The screen size is the killer for Resolve, although I sometimes Sidecar my iPad Pro. I think I can stick with this machine for a year or two more before work demands an upgrade.
Honestly I see no reason why you would upgrade. I have the M1 MacBook Air and I’m doing 4K on there no problem and Adobe suite although we’re transitioning to the affinity bundle because it’s an amazing bundle for a graphic designer and that thing is M1 to the M1 it’s crazy how fast it is although Photoshop and illustrator now are super fast to but adobe still having issues because their software is so old for them to really bump it up and even on Intel they need to like recodethe whole thing and they have no incentive to. though when I finally left recently they tried to give me like I think three months free and a year at 2999 but I just gotta get off that thing it’s like drugs I mean it’s the best yes but I can do what I need to do on affinity and I have an agency so I’m really excited
I feel like a lot of bigger youtubers who are used to shelling out $4000+ for a machine downplay the capabilities of lower end hardware. I would LOVE even an m1 macbook air, but some larger youtubers would complain that it is incapable of editing to the level of their extremely overpowered machines. For context my entire career (as a graphic designer) depends upon a 2 core 4 thread laptop from 2012 and while it’s on it’s last legs, it works
Thanks for this video!! I was going to get the new M2 air but still had a bit of hesitation. You have calmed my fears. I don’t make as many videos as you or at the moment have that many cuts but it’s good to know the air will be with me as I “grow”. Keep up the good work!!
You will need to check if the M2 MBA thermal throttles or has single cheap 256GB ssd and chip. Because in that case M1 MBA may be better value and performance
That is what I said when Max Tech did his ridiculous unrealist benchmarks. It means little as it is not real usage. What was done in this review was close to the max you would push this machine, otherwise you would get the MB Pro 14. So none of the heat issues, no fan noise, no crashing, smooth, fast for what it is, and no issues with SSDs. The MB Pro 13 is solid, maybe too boring for some, but for those that just want a workhorse for a medium-pro workload, it will be great. Ignore the usual YT channels that love to hate Apple, and put this down as a very solid choice. Of course, the MB Air will probably do this task as well (we shall see) and that may excite more with its newer features, and that is fair enough. However, typing on my M1 MB Pro 13, I love the TouchBar, battery life, studio mics, the safeguard of a fan when I get humid hot conditions (no aircon).
I 100% Agree with you. Benchmark results are not everything and for most people who just need a solid device for video editing the M2 Macbook Pro is perfect.
You like Everyday Dad's subjective assessment ('kinda ok') over actual benchmarks and real world test? Doesn't it bother you that Apple have limited the fans on the M2 MBP to not come on till it reaches 100ºC? Don't use the fans as a guide. Your M1 MBP is actually a better machine that the M2 MBP as it has faster ssd chips. Isn't it good to know that before you 'Upgrade' to a worse machine?
This video is great for a computer "dummy" like me. By showing the example it makes it quite easy to understand how would it be if I get this computer. Thank you so much, great video! (haven't seen another video like this, this is great)
I need to get a mac book pro, i edit in after effects tracking and stuff, what specs do you recommend, should i go for a mac or a windows pc. Pls suggest
I got this after selling my 2017 mba and loving it. I love touchbar and having a fan gives a piece of mind just in case. it even looks better than new map's with all black keyboard tbh.
Thanks for sharing the info on M2 things, however, how about the Rosetta? Are Adobe products such as Illustrator, premiere and Photoshop run natively on MacBook M2?
HEVC won’t be tough on Apple Silicon cuz Apple has great hardware for it. I ran some tests on my friend’s new MacBook Air, and it could handle 8K@60 12-Bit HEVC just fine!!
Which would you advice on getting for TH-cam video editing ? 1) Apple MacBook PRO 2023 M2 Pro 1TB SSD 16GB 14.2" (3024×1964) Liquid Retina Display MacOS Ventura 13 2) MacBook Pro - M2 Chip Next Gen 8 Core CPU - 10 Core GPU 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 13.3" WQXGA (2560 × 1600), MacOs Monterey 12 3) 14-inch MacBook Pro: Apple M1 Pro chip with 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 1TB SSD

Again awesome video can you make a video about the external display videos because I have a MacBook Air m1 and I’m trying to get a external display connected but my external display I have (pretty old one) so it has the power cave instead of hdmi any recommended dongles? thanks always great videos hope you hit 500k soon!
Well, I think this new M2 Mbook is for that kind of customer who is the loyal owner of an old MacBook Pro, perhaps no longer supported by the new software upgrades, sometimes editing vids for Instagram, Facebook, recording a demo in GarageBand. The point here is that apple just want you to upgrade your laptop with something better and have you covered for a couple of some more years. 😉
Many thanks everyday dad for such practical and useful videos. I’m thinking about starting my own you tube channel Do you have any videos you would suggest watching when you first started Thx
This might be a dumb question but is converting your HEVC camera files to Apple ProRes worth the hassle for editing? It seems like these new M1, M2 and M3 chips can handle it??? Thanks Everyday Dad. If you can do it, I can do it! :)
I am planning on buying the M2 MBA (base model), I hope the fanless design doesn't cause it to overheat. I hate when my mac gets hot and I can't even put it on my lap. This was a very helpful insight into the new M2 chip. Great video as always!
@@TheEverydayDad the m1 rarely gets hot. The only tome I noticed it was when on zoom BUT I think they fixed it with their latest update. Unless you really like a mbp on a diet I personally could not justify the m2 mba. It will be faster but not at a speed that I think would really make a difference. The 8-7 mba with 16gb of ram is on the apple refurb site for a little over 1k. That is very fair.
@@TheEverydayDad Thank you for replying 😃. I watched a few reviews saying that because the M2 chip is using more power, it gets warmer than the M1 macbooks...?

Incredibly useful video Gary! I'm really intrigued by the wonderful keyboard with volume rocker you were using during the video? It's not in your "What Gear I use" list unfortunately. Could you tell us who makes it / where we can find it?
In anticipation of my MacBook Air m2 purchase I’ve ordered one of those displaylink adapters for shady support of a second monitor, and I’m counting on the thunderbolt blackmagic mini monitor for output to a reference monitor as well. It’s gonna be either great or a disaster!
@@mtklaric Working! But the things I should note are: 1) I run dual 1440p monitors. I read there are some cutting-edge adapters that can do 4k/5k. Can't vouch for those. 2) DRM-managed material is not displaying (eg Netflix). I wouldn't have noticed this myself in my daily life but I read from others. 3) If you're really, and I mean really, trying to stress the video translation driver you can notice some lag. I'm talking if you take a complicated picture that is hard to compress and you just go ham moving it all over. I'm personally giving this a pass. It's working way better than say Sidecar which runs on a similar tech-premise.
Is there a reason you don’t put the clips as a Multicam when editing? It would be a lot easier to switch between multiple angles as you can assign 1 2 or 3 as the camera angles and switch to them as the video plays.
I want to buy m2 air or pro. In this video macbook pro clearly handles multiple clips same time but what if we put some effects on videos? If m2 can handle effects i will buy m2 then.
Are you going to do a video on using the Mac book air M2 as you main tool for video editing, etc etc and connected to a external monitor with a usbc hub ????
thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I have a question: i want to buy my first Macbook and i need a Laptop which good for Pic and Video editing! Like for Instagram Reels, TikTok and TH-cam just a normal using! No special editing. What is the best one in your opinion? Thanx you
what i really wanted to know is if the new media engine is a game changer since it says it can handle 8k prores hvec. really hope someone can say something about this. so far the reviews i've seen havent said anything about this.
I will receive a Macbook pro m2 chip 8GB RAM , I will use it for my schooling. is it enough for video editing regarding with the RAM, thank you very much. what is the RAM on review ? is it 8GB or 16GB cause 8GB is the cheapest
Great video! I think you said your raw files were on the MBP? Have you tested it with the files stored on a separate external HD? I'm running a M2 Pro MBP and editing with Camtasia but it does lag sometimes. Wondering if it's because I have my files on an external drive.
Curious as to if you plan on getting the new M2 Air as well. Planning to get a new laptop and conflicted on whether to get the M2 air or M2 Pro as they come to the same cost with what I’m looking for. I’m sure the Pro may run a little better due to fans but man does that black Air look sweet! Would love to know your thoughts!
couple things. What do you use it for? That pretty much determines everything. I have a m1 mba and use adobe cc and fcp with no real issues. As far as the midnight blue model. Be careful what you ask for as a couple people that have handled it at wwdc mentioned it gets dirty pretty easy and I have to say personally the black on blk keyboard on the mbp gets dirty super quick.
@@roguewavecreative mostly 4k video editing through Davinci Resolve. I do deal with vfx and some light color grading. I do have a limited budget so looking at getting 512gb w/ 16gb of ram.
@@craigwilson9612 If that’s what you do I really think you’d be fine with the M1 I probably go it’s 16 gig or Rams something I’d also think about and I did this with my MacBook Air as I just have all my files on a 2 TB external drive it doesn’t really hurt the speed because the I use a Samsung the SSD is super fast so even though it’s going back-and-forth it works great but depends on what your budget is but honestly think you could do it on the MacBook Air that’s just my opinion on the M1
Really want the m2 air but I do need to do some video editing Could I get away with buying the m2 Mac book air and use it for video editing content creation for my gym and TH-cam channel despite it not having fans?
Ok, I want to start my journey with Apple but it is really hard to chose one. Main purpose is using web browser aps like g sheets , Microsoft sheets , multiple tabs, zoom, teams, perhaps some easy/simple programming. What's your advice?
If its just regular stuff like that I would get either a refurbished M1 Mac mini or MacBook Air, both can be had for great deals and are an excellent way into the apple ecosystem.
I only need Mac book for normal video editing in iMovie, Can you recommend which one should I choose ?? I have no idea between 14’M1pro, 13’M2 pro, or M2 Air. Now I edited video on my iPad pro2020 but it’s started moving slowly and paused when the video reached 10minutes so I need a MacBook which run smoothly and fast.
This is something i am struggling with. Looking into buying an Apple laptop to replace my dying ASUS. I shoot with the Sony a7c and an a73. I also edit with Resolve. Need something reliable but trying not to break the bank.
can you compare the m1 pro 14" base $1999 vs M2 chip with 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine 24GB Memory? (mac book air m2 these setup was $1899) price is still cheaper but wants to know the performance difference between the two
You thought about reviewing the new Asus g14 the 2022 version? I would love to see it and comparison videos. That video from last year was what introduced me to your channel!
Its hard for me to want to look at windows laptops right now. I honestly think that apple makes the best laptops. I'm not that much of a gamer so its hard for me to approach them from a productivity standpoint.
Apple have overclocked the M2 to give 13% more speed for 30 more watts. The MacBook M2 really thermally throttles even with a fan plus if you get 256Gb single NAND chip ssd it will be slower than the M1 MBP. Your folksy "seems kinda ok" doesn't prove that as an objective test when you are pre disposed to say it's great.
Hi Gary, I love your videos and you don't use the complicated words. I am looking to buy a MacBook Air M2 (8 core GPU, 16GB RAM and 512GB Hard disk). At the moment my TH-cam channel is fairly basic, but I can see myself using OBS, DaVinci resolve or Final cut in future. I am a bit worried about sustain performance on MacBook air due to no fan. Should I go for MacBook air M2 or MacBook M1 Pro 14 inch. At the moment, M1 Pro 14 inch seems like an overkill, but would hate to buy the computer again 3 years down the track. It will be nice if you can do the comparison when you get your hands on it. Thanks for reading and keep up the good work. :)
@@BrightRightInfo I ended up going with MacBook Pro 14 inch. It has the right config I want plus it performs really well. Screen size is good for me and good speakers. I don't really take my laptop outside of house so I don't really worry about the portability, although I don't feel it's heavy. I am happy with my purchase. :) This is after 2 months of everyday use. I am using Final Cut for few things and General productivity office related work.
@@thinkclarity thanks for letting me know! I am thinking that m2 is latest chip so I should go for that. But many people I know also prefering macbook m1 pro over this mac air m2. What do you think should I go for mac air m2? I have a custom PC where I do photo editing & video editing for myself and for my clients using adobe tools. I want a system which I can use for video editing when I am out of city because I can not take PC with mr everywhere and my current laptop does not give me that good performance in video editing.
@@BrightRightInfo I don't want to suggest because it's your money in the end, but i can tell you how I would make a decision. 1. Money - if you can afford it, I'll go for M1 pro, cause it's just better value for money. 2. Portability - m2 air definitely is more portable so if your carrying your laptop more often then not, then m2 make sense and it is pretty good at doing photo and video editing and the encoders help. But then again, m1 pro in a bag won't make much difference. 3. Battery - if you don't charge your laptop often enough then m2 air. 4. Work - both laptops be good for photo and video editing, but if I'm future you want better editing, slightly bigger screen and a much better color reproduction of m1 pro will make huge difference, plus it's just really easy to transfer video and photos from SD card directly to laptop with built in Sd card reader. 5. Versatile - m1 is just more versatile cause of so much better performance. Plus dual monitor support, HDMI and SD card gives so much versatility and don't have to think about carrying dongle or charger. Battery is still excellent in m1 pro compared to any windows laptop. 6. Few other bits - the base model m2 air is the best deal but i just cannot recommend 8gb ram and 256 HD. If your stretching to upgrade and want to get good performance from your machine for 5-6 years, m1 MacBook pro just make sense. If you have limited budget and can live with old design, m1 air is just an excellent device and relatively cheaper. If i have money, I'll buy m2 air just because i really like the form factor and portability. I'm sorry i don't have a good reason to buy m2 air and a newer chip is just not good enough reason to get m2 air. Hope this helps. I should have made a TH-cam video about it 😁😁

I have the M1 MacBook Air and I’m doing 4K on there no problem and Adobe suite although we’re transitioning to the affinity bundle because it’s an amazing bundle for a graphic designer and that thing is M1 to the M1 it’s crazy how fast it is although Photoshop and illustrator now are super fast to but adobe still having issues because their software is so old for them to really bump it up and even on Intel they need to like recodethe whole thing and they have no incentive to.
though when I finally left recently they tried to give me like I think three months free and a year at 2999 but I just gotta get off that thing it’s like drugs I mean it’s the best yes but I can do what I need to do on affinity and I have an agency so I’m really excited
I feel like a lot of bigger youtubers who are used to shelling out $4000+ for a machine downplay the capabilities of lower end hardware. I would LOVE even an m1 macbook air, but some larger youtubers would complain that it is incapable of editing to the level of their extremely overpowered machines. For context my entire career (as a graphic designer) depends upon a 2 core 4 thread laptop from 2012 and while it’s on it’s last legs, it works
Thanks for this video!! I was going to get the new M2 air but still had a bit of hesitation. You have calmed my fears. I don’t make as many videos as you or at the moment have that many cuts but it’s good to know the air will be with me as I “grow”. Keep up the good work!!
Yeah I think the M2 Air is going to be a phenomenal laptop.
You will need to check if the M2 MBA thermal throttles or has single cheap 256GB ssd and chip. Because in that case M1 MBA may be better value and performance
This MacBook pro is more than enough for my work you convince me to buy it instead of the MBA M2. Thsi is the perfect machine for me
That is what I said when Max Tech did his ridiculous unrealist benchmarks. It means little as it is not real usage. What was done in this review was close to the max you would push this machine, otherwise you would get the MB Pro 14. So none of the heat issues, no fan noise, no crashing, smooth, fast for what it is, and no issues with SSDs.
The MB Pro 13 is solid, maybe too boring for some, but for those that just want a workhorse for a medium-pro workload, it will be great. Ignore the usual YT channels that love to hate Apple, and put this down as a very solid choice. Of course, the MB Air will probably do this task as well (we shall see) and that may excite more with its newer features, and that is fair enough. However, typing on my M1 MB Pro 13, I love the TouchBar, battery life, studio mics, the safeguard of a fan when I get humid hot conditions (no aircon).
I 100% Agree with you. Benchmark results are not everything and for most people who just need a solid device for video editing the M2 Macbook Pro is perfect.
You like Everyday Dad's subjective assessment ('kinda ok') over actual benchmarks and real world test? Doesn't it bother you that Apple have limited the fans on the M2 MBP to not come on till it reaches 100ºC? Don't use the fans as a guide. Your M1 MBP is actually a better machine that the M2 MBP as it has faster ssd chips. Isn't it good to know that before you 'Upgrade' to a worse machine?
Is the Everyday Dad gonna do like a gaming test, temp test and review and on the M2 MacBook Air?
I really live your channel because I can actually see how you work on the tools you are using :)
This video is great for a computer "dummy" like me. By showing the example it makes it quite easy to understand how would it be if I get this computer. Thank you so much, great video! (haven't seen another video like this, this is great)
After seeing your vid, I am trying to recommend the M2 Pro to a friend of mine. Hope he gets this for his editing. He edits on Premiere.
I need to get a mac book pro, i edit in after effects tracking and stuff, what specs do you recommend, should i go for a mac or a windows pc. Pls suggest
I always appreciate your true thoughts and opinions despite what the rest of TH-cam is saying!
I got this after selling my 2017 mba and loving it. I love touchbar and having a fan gives a piece of mind just in case. it even looks better than new map's with all black keyboard tbh.
What configuration did you get?

Thanks for sharing the info on M2 things, however, how about the Rosetta? Are Adobe products such as Illustrator, premiere and Photoshop run natively on MacBook M2?
HEVC won’t be tough on Apple Silicon cuz Apple has great hardware for it. I ran some tests on my friend’s new MacBook Air, and it could handle 8K@60 12-Bit HEVC just fine!!

I cannot get enough of this video
Awesome video, but on a side note, do you think I should get the m2 air or just get the 2020 m1 air?
I edit my multicam stuff the same way! I don't know why, I just prefer it. Great video!
Brother Can i Buy this base model for my IPhone 15 pro & go pro's 4k video editing perpose? And I also colourgrade my videos.
Do you think it will perform well?. I Don't need any good looking mac i need long time performance at a time.. I have not enough budget for buying like m2 pro chip. My Current pc perform very poor right now😢.
Please brother give your opinion.
Take❤❤
The audio from your mic is sooo clear.
You have to test fusion and see the Realtime feedback ... that's the real battle ground .
Its crazy that this can all be done in basically a pair of glasses
Hi! Please make a video like this for Macbook Air M2. 😊
hey, what monitor r u using? looks nice
Again awesome video can you make a video about the external display videos because I have a MacBook Air m1 and I’m trying to get a external display connected but my external display I have (pretty old one) so it has the power cave instead of hdmi any recommended dongles? thanks always great videos hope you hit 500k soon!
Well, I think this new M2 Mbook is for that kind of customer who is the loyal owner of an old MacBook Pro, perhaps no longer supported by the new software upgrades, sometimes editing vids for Instagram, Facebook, recording a demo in GarageBand. The point here is that apple just want you to upgrade your laptop with something better and have you covered for a couple of some more years. 😉
do you keep all the computers you buy or send them back?
Many thanks everyday dad for such practical and useful videos.
I’m thinking about starting my own you tube channel
Do you have any videos you would suggest watching when you first started
Thx
yeah i love my m2 13 pro it does everything i need so far and plenty fast
What configuration did you get?
@@sunitjoshi3573 base model
You cannot add a second external display! I would use this only on the road but never as a desktop replacement….
Finally what's the summary
Insane production man!
This might be a dumb question but is converting your HEVC camera files to Apple ProRes worth the hassle for editing? It seems like these new M1, M2 and M3 chips can handle it??? Thanks Everyday Dad. If you can do it, I can do it! :)
I am planning on buying the M2 MBA (base model), I hope the fanless design doesn't cause it to overheat. I hate when my mac gets hot and I can't even put it on my lap. This was a very helpful insight into the new M2 chip. Great video as always!
I rarely had those sort of problems with my M1 Air, the only time it would get that warm is if I'd been playing WoW for a long period of time.
If it’s anything like the m1 then it wont
@@TheEverydayDad the m1 rarely gets hot. The only tome I noticed it was when on zoom BUT I think they fixed it with their latest update. Unless you really like a mbp on a diet I personally could not justify the m2 mba. It will be faster but not at a speed that I think would really make a difference. The 8-7 mba with 16gb of ram is on the apple refurb site for a little over 1k. That is very fair.
@@TheEverydayDad Thank you for replying 😃. I watched a few reviews saying that because the M2 chip is using more power, it gets warmer than the M1 macbooks...?
Love thank you for showing me this it really helps when choosing the perfect model macbook
Nice! Glad it was able to help!
Which budget monitor do you recommend for on a budget?

I’d love to see you fully edit a video.
Incredibly useful video Gary! I'm really intrigued by the wonderful keyboard with volume rocker you were using during the video? It's not in your "What Gear I use" list unfortunately. Could you tell us who makes it / where we can find it?
In anticipation of my MacBook Air m2 purchase I’ve ordered one of those displaylink adapters for shady support of a second monitor, and I’m counting on the thunderbolt blackmagic mini monitor for output to a reference monitor as well. It’s gonna be either great or a disaster!
is it working?
@@mtklaric Working! But the things I should note are:
1) I run dual 1440p monitors. I read there are some cutting-edge adapters that can do 4k/5k. Can't vouch for those.
2) DRM-managed material is not displaying (eg Netflix). I wouldn't have noticed this myself in my daily life but I read from others.
3) If you're really, and I mean really, trying to stress the video translation driver you can notice some lag. I'm talking if you take a complicated picture that is hard to compress and you just go ham moving it all over. I'm personally giving this a pass. It's working way better than say Sidecar which runs on a similar tech-premise.
@@Wokiis thanks (:
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!
Very good...Also can you make a mac 13" m3 air base video like this on resolve
What mic are you using in this video?
Is there a reason you don’t put the clips as a Multicam when editing? It would be a lot easier to switch between multiple angles as you can assign 1 2 or 3 as the camera angles and switch to them as the video plays.
I want to buy m2 air or pro. In this video macbook pro clearly handles multiple clips same time but what if we put some effects on videos? If m2 can handle effects i will buy m2 then.
Would you recommend the macbook air M2 16GB RAM or the macbook PRO M2 8GB RAM for video editing?
how much RAM do you recommend for your macbook pro for video editing
Are you going to do a video on using the Mac book air M2 as you main tool for video editing, etc etc and connected to a external monitor with a usbc hub ????
thanks a lot for sharing your experience! I have a question: i want to buy my first Macbook and i need a Laptop which good for Pic and Video editing! Like for Instagram Reels, TikTok and TH-cam just a normal using! No special editing. What is the best one in your opinion?
Thanx you
Thanks for video! Can MacBook m3 pro 16gb handle 1 hour 4k video? Can it be used for wedding Videography?
Also, is there a budget decent keyboard and ethernet dongle you could suggest for hdmi and de cards as well?
what i really wanted to know is if the new media engine is a game changer since it says it can handle 8k prores hvec. really hope someone can say something about this. so far the reviews i've seen havent said anything about this.
I will receive a Macbook pro m2 chip 8GB RAM , I will use it for my schooling. is it enough for video editing regarding with the RAM, thank you very much. what is the RAM on review ? is it 8GB or 16GB cause 8GB is the cheapest
Given this is the cheapest M2 MBP, I am assuming this is the 256GB, 8GB RAM model?
How does hem make the splits this fast 👀 is there like a mouse button that doea that?! I am very slow when it comes to editing my vids
Great video! I think you said your raw files were on the MBP? Have you tested it with the files stored on a separate external HD? I'm running a M2 Pro MBP and editing with Camtasia but it does lag sometimes. Wondering if it's because I have my files on an external drive.
Thank you for this, exactly what i wanted to know
Would you recommend this, the m1 14 or the m1 pro for light video editing, school and light music production?
Great video
So this is 8gb ram 256GB ?
Hi looks like a killer do you have by any chance Canon R5 videos to test it ? I’m actually thinking about Mac Air M2 what do you think?
How good could be an M2 PRO - 11 core CPU / 14 core GPU - 18gb ram - 512 gb ssd for video editing?
Very nice brother keep it up 👍🏼
Great vid as usual!
Awesome, I hope you enjoyed it!
Curious as to if you plan on getting the new M2 Air as well. Planning to get a new laptop and conflicted on whether to get the M2 air or M2 Pro as they come to the same cost with what I’m looking for. I’m sure the Pro may run a little better due to fans but man does that black Air look sweet! Would love to know your thoughts!
couple things. What do you use it for? That pretty much determines everything. I have a m1 mba and use adobe cc and fcp with no real issues. As far as the midnight blue model. Be careful what you ask for as a couple people that have handled it at wwdc mentioned it gets dirty pretty easy and I have to say personally the black on blk keyboard on the mbp gets dirty super quick.
@@roguewavecreative mostly 4k video editing through Davinci Resolve. I do deal with vfx and some light color grading. I do have a limited budget so looking at getting 512gb w/ 16gb of ram.
@@craigwilson9612 If that’s what you do I really think you’d be fine with the M1 I probably go it’s 16 gig or Rams something I’d also think about and I did this with my MacBook Air as I just have all my files on a 2 TB external drive it doesn’t really hurt the speed because the I use a Samsung the SSD is super fast so even though it’s going back-and-forth it works great but depends on what your budget is but honestly think you could do it on the MacBook Air that’s just my opinion on the M1
@@roguewavecreative you are having an easy
Is your mechanical keyboard the GMMK Pro?
Really want the m2 air but I do need to do some video editing Could I get away with buying the m2 Mac book air and use it for video editing content creation for my gym and TH-cam channel despite it not having fans?
Ok, I want to start my journey with Apple but it is really hard to chose one. Main purpose is using web browser aps like g sheets , Microsoft sheets , multiple tabs, zoom, teams, perhaps some easy/simple programming. What's your advice?
If its just regular stuff like that I would get either a refurbished M1 Mac mini or MacBook Air, both can be had for great deals and are an excellent way into the apple ecosystem.
Wait for the MB Air M2 reviews and then you will be a bit wiser.
I only need Mac book for normal video editing in iMovie, Can you recommend which one should I choose ?? I have no idea between 14’M1pro, 13’M2 pro, or M2 Air. Now I edited video on my iPad pro2020 but it’s started moving slowly and paused when the video reached 10minutes so I need a MacBook which run smoothly and fast.
This is something i am struggling with. Looking into buying an Apple laptop to replace my dying ASUS. I shoot with the Sony a7c and an a73. I also edit with Resolve. Need something reliable but trying not to break the bank.
How do you edit the multi-cam? Looks very simple.
Easy future video prediction “I bought the CHEAPEST M2 MacBook Air”
can you compare the m1 pro 14" base $1999 vs M2 chip with 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine
24GB Memory? (mac book air m2 these setup was $1899) price is still cheaper but wants to know the performance difference between the two
You thought about reviewing the new Asus g14 the 2022 version? I would love to see it and comparison videos. That video from last year was what introduced me to your channel!
Its hard for me to want to look at windows laptops right now. I honestly think that apple makes the best laptops. I'm not that much of a gamer so its hard for me to approach them from a productivity standpoint.
@@TheEverydayDad that's fair. Thank you for the reply!
Can you also use the MacBook Air m2 for video editing then ?
Can you make a video about this MBP and the use of DR´s Magic Mask and other neural engine effects it is using?
Apple have overclocked the M2 to give 13% more speed for 30 more watts. The MacBook M2 really thermally throttles even with a fan plus if you get 256Gb single NAND chip ssd it will be slower than the M1 MBP. Your folksy "seems kinda ok" doesn't prove that as an objective test when you are pre disposed to say it's great.
When r u doing another ecosystem guide?
Hey Gary, do you render in 4k with 1080 timeline or change the timeline to 4k just before export?
Could you do a test to see if it can handle running magic mask on about 40 minutes of footage to track a human subject?
In your opinion should I get the m1 macbook air w 16gbs of ram and 512 ssd or m2 macbook air w 16gbs of ram and only 256 ssd?
So is the M1 better or M2
What config is your M2 13"? I hear that its 8+256 config has horrible SSD speeds compared to other Apple Silicon Macs
Does your monitor have an on board graphics card?
What keyboard is that you are using?
Hi Gary, I love your videos and you don't use the complicated words.
I am looking to buy a MacBook Air M2 (8 core GPU, 16GB RAM and 512GB Hard disk). At the moment my TH-cam channel is fairly basic, but I can see myself using OBS, DaVinci resolve or Final cut in future.
I am a bit worried about sustain performance on MacBook air due to no fan.
Should I go for MacBook air M2 or MacBook M1 Pro 14 inch.
At the moment, M1 Pro 14 inch seems like an overkill, but would hate to buy the computer again 3 years down the track.
It will be nice if you can do the comparison when you get your hands on it.
Thanks for reading and keep up the good work. :)
What did you decide?
@@BrightRightInfo I ended up going with MacBook Pro 14 inch. It has the right config I want plus it performs really well.
Screen size is good for me and good speakers.
I don't really take my laptop outside of house so I don't really worry about the portability, although I don't feel it's heavy.
I am happy with my purchase. :) This is after 2 months of everyday use.
I am using Final Cut for few things and General productivity office related work.
@@thinkclarity thanks for letting me know!
I am thinking that m2 is latest chip so I should go for that. But many people I know also prefering macbook m1 pro over this mac air m2. What do you think should I go for mac air m2?
I have a custom PC where I do photo editing & video editing for myself and for my clients using adobe tools. I want a system which I can use for video editing when I am out of city because I can not take PC with mr everywhere and my current laptop does not give me that good performance in video editing.
@@BrightRightInfo I don't want to suggest because it's your money in the end, but i can tell you how I would make a decision.
1. Money - if you can afford it, I'll go for M1 pro, cause it's just better value for money.
2. Portability - m2 air definitely is more portable so if your carrying your laptop more often then not, then m2 make sense and it is pretty good at doing photo and video editing and the encoders help.
But then again, m1 pro in a bag won't make much difference.
3. Battery - if you don't charge your laptop often enough then m2 air.
4. Work - both laptops be good for photo and video editing, but if I'm future you want better editing, slightly bigger screen and a much better color reproduction of m1 pro will make huge difference, plus it's just really easy to transfer video and photos from SD card directly to laptop with built in Sd card reader.
5. Versatile - m1 is just more versatile cause of so much better performance.
Plus dual monitor support, HDMI and SD card gives so much versatility and don't have to think about carrying dongle or charger. Battery is still excellent in m1 pro compared to any windows laptop.
6. Few other bits - the base model m2 air is the best deal but i just cannot recommend 8gb ram and 256 HD.
If your stretching to upgrade and want to get good performance from your machine for 5-6 years, m1 MacBook pro just make sense.
If you have limited budget and can live with old design, m1 air is just an excellent device and relatively cheaper.
If i have money, I'll buy m2 air just because i really like the form factor and portability.
I'm sorry i don't have a good reason to buy m2 air and a newer chip is just not good enough reason to get m2 air.
Hope this helps. I should have made a TH-cam video about it 😁😁
Thank you for this, Awesome video
Thanks so much!
