video editing

I have a 2013 Macbook Retina 2.4 ghz quadcore i7. I do some video editing, but it can't really handle hi res video. I want to upgrade to something newer (used) that can better handle video. I don't have the budget for a brand new Macbook. Would a 2019/20 i9 be a worthwhile improvement?

I'm super disappointed with my M1. I purchased with 512 gb and 16gm ram. My main goal is video editing and some graphic design (nothing super demanding). Even if my videos are simple from clips, the processor lags while working in IMOVIE. And that's on a clean fresh mac with nothing installed...

I'm a video editor, and was considering the M1 Max Studio with 10C CPU, 32C GPU, 64GB RAM and 2TB. I wanted to see if anyone else on here regularly edits R3D footage (6K, 8K) and if what I'm considering is going to be smooth even with color grading and noise reduction? I just saw the M1 Ultra...

In years past if we had 2 or 3 hard drives for video editing it improved workflow and allowed smoother scrubbing, etc. on some systems. With the M1 Max Mac Studio, for 4K and 8K video editing, does the system perform better with a 2TB internal SSD and no externals... OR... would it benefit...

I've been using iMovie forever... since it first came out. I still have a copy of iMovie HD I use from time to time on an old G4 tower. I have Premiere at my disposal, but I've always liked the quick-simplicity of iMovie. I am up an running on the a Mac Studio, base MAX option. I have never had...

I want to do video editing and photo editing on an iPad from my Nikon Z6. I am either looking at the IPad 8th gen 128 by or an Air 4th 64 gb. I am thinking the IPad 8th gen will be enough for my uses. Or should I wait for the iPad 9th gen?

Hello: I'm new here and didn't see this exact topic so here we go: I feel the "need for speed" with video editing/rendering and want to find something newer - but not new. FYI I produce cooking and music videos with Premier CS6, often with 5 - 7 video layers plus 4 layers of audio. In...

Hiya folks, I've only just got my macbook today, and M1 Air, and I am used to using Sony Vegas Pro Edit 14 on my windows laptop. I'd like something, free or cheap, that is roughly equivalent in functionality and ease of use. Please could you post your suggestions and reasons below for what...

Hi guys, I'm facing a major dilemma here and wondering if any of you would throw your two cents in for me to make the final decision here! I'm a film/video editor that mainly works on TVC and Music Promos, recently decided to upgrade my system so purchased a top of the line intel Mac Mini plus...

Hi all, wonder if someone can help me recently got hold of a 2006-2007 MaC Pro 1,1 Quad Core 2.66 A1186 and I’m very interested in doing a bulid project on it has I would like to use it for my photography and video editing (still at amateur level hence why I don’t want to go out and spend to...

Hi, I want to edit a video I took, and it seems iMovie would be the way to go. I have an early 2014 MBA, running Catalina 10.15.4 with 8 GB. It's hanging in there, but I have to close a lot of things to keep it from getting too close to its 8 GB max. I found iMovie in the App Store, but it...

Okay, so I'm investing in a 2014 5k iMac with a Core i7-4790k, however, I'm having some issues... I'd like to edit 1080p, perhaps 1440p video with this iMac, however, I've heard that the R9 M290X with 2GB of VRAM just doesn't cut it for video editing. The M295X with 4GB of VRAM is apparently...

Hello everyone, I've been using my MacBook Air late 2010 since then, and in a few months I'll have the opportunity to start working on shooting with DLSRs and such, and then post editing full-hd (perhaps more), so I'll definitely have to get a way more powerful Mac. I'm really tempted by the 16...

I'm using iMovie 10 on a Mac running macOS Catalina with the latest version of both the application and the OS. I haven't used iMovie in many years and it shows. I'm trying to use it for a very simple set of tasks: I want to trim the first and last few seconds from a long webinar recording, and...

Hello everyone. I’m new here! And have a question that I would love some support with. I’m a musician and photographer who uses apps like Ableton, Logic, Final Cut Pro, and Lightroom, as well as plug-ins like Waves, U-He, and Arturia. I’m considering purchasing a late 2012 27-inch iMac off...

Can you tell me why my portrait video is small on YouTube when viewing on a mobile phone? I created a video on my MacBook Pro through iMovie. Once it finished uploading I wanted to watch it on my phone on YouTube. I click full screen and the video is tiny, like in a small box. How do I fixed...

Hello. I purchased a brand new Mac Pro (Specs Below). Of course it came pre-loaded with Catalina. I’m working in Adobe Premiere 2019 (Not 2020 for obvious reasons). And noticing very poor performance issues. Timeline is choppy, slow exports, etc etc etc. I have also been monitoring the GPU usage...

I'm currently using a Windows machine that I built myself last year initially as a Hackintosh, which worked fine — except that the anxiety over updates did me in. After a couple months, I gave in and installed Windows and resigned myself to just waiting for the Mac Pro to release. To date, I...

I went today to an official Apple retailer to order a replacement battery for my ageing 2012 15" cMBP and I asked the manager there about the new Mac Pro and what are the prices of the entry spec models. I work at a film production company and since our 2010 MacPro isn't capable anymore to edit...
