Mac laptop or desktop for photo editing pro#

The 16вЂќ MacBook Pro with M1 Max basically matched that at 6:39. With the Gigabyte Aero 15, a somewhat equivalent laptop, that time drops down to 6:38. The 2019 Mac Pro costing more than $20,000 exported it in 10:06 while the original 13вЂќ MacBook Pro with M1 did it in 24:21. Going to a more direct comparison with a short film running 11:39 Armando has a ton of additional data points. This isnвЂ™t a perfect comparison still, but it does show that some PCs are still a better option. The Puget PC did it in just 2 minutes 20 seconds. Exporting the 4 minute 38 second project took just 3 minutes 39 seconds on the MacBook. No frames dropped when scrubbing through the timeline or adding a few more options. Starting off with an easier test is a timeline-based around 6K ProRes 422 from the DJI Ronin 4D. Filmmaker Armando Ferreira went hands on with a powerful 16вЂќ MacBook Pro with M1 Max and put it up against his $10,000 desktop PC from Puget for Premiere Pro CC. It is still very early days for these new chips and with plenty of editors invested in pricey desktop workstations, there is a lot of questions about just how good the new M1 chips are.

The new 14вЂќ and 16вЂќ MacBook Pros вЂ“ when set up with optimized software вЂ“ are a huge leap forward for mobile creative workflows. The M1 Pro and M1 Max chips from Apple are changing the conversation when it comes to powerful laptops for video editing.
