Because the Notch have no acceptable reason to exist without FaceID, the trade-off comes with no value.People here breathlessly balk about the notch like we're in end times.
They should have added FaceID, ditched TouchID, and reworked the Keyboard layout by adding full sized cursor keys.
Maybe even enlarge the available keyboard space a bit more to make the right shift and return key a bit bigger than on my quick and dirty tweak.
Not if you're a professional who charges accordingly. Compared to most pro software, it's super cheap.
DUDE..nobody cares about the notch except you. Seriously you have been posting about the notch NONSTOP..look at your post history, you literally have posted like 15-20 times in the 'smart notch' thread..then you have gone into basically every other thread going on and on about the notch. Seriously funny how much the notch is bothering you to the point that you literally CANT stop talking about it in every thread. this thread is about davinci resolve yet somehow you are NOTCH NOTCH NOTCH
im NOTCH listening to you anymore.
What does the number of 4K screens in your home have to do with the need of others to generate 8k resolution video? There are 30 different 8k TVs you could buy (assuming you have the money and wanted to) at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tvs/8k-tvs/pcmcat1552503373763.c?id=pcmcat1552503373763
Producing content in 8K is a good idea now if you care about having your videos more future-proof. There are several 8K cameras available and even a 12k one, not counting what's available at the the higher-end professional level.

Now I need the benchmarks comparing the M1 Max to the 3080. If it is at par, then perhaps I can sell off my PC.
you want a comparison of a desktop 3080 to the m1 max on davinci? Its actually possible the m1 max will outperform it..unlikely it will outperform it in many other tasks. Now laptop 3080 its a pretty good match and davinci will definitely do things faster using the encoders on the mac vs 3080 laptop (likely desktop too)
there is a pugetbench for davinci resolve you could run on your 3080..im sure someone with a m1 max will be running it over the next few days. Im about to download and run it on my zephyrus g15 (ryzen 9 5900hs/rtx3070) laptop. Ill share the results here along with results from a 14in mbp...tomorrow

NukeX is $7000 these days. Fusion predates Nuke, and has been used for a lot of TV and Commercials for free or $295 it's a pretty great deal. Feel the main reason it missed out compared to Nuke was it was really slow to adopt OpenExr.
That said I totally didn't realise this was the case
Also seems to lack useful stuff like noise reduction and support for resolutions above 4k. Definitely a fair bit more neutered than I'd thought.
5x faster than what? Hate those types of summary proclamations. While noted 5x faster than precious generation on M1 hardware. The uneasy question is, "Why was faster even an issue?" Did they have sub performance with Adobe and Apple and just now catching up? I don't think so, but that is a valid reason to have "faster" as a design goal. Did the original M1 slow the performance vs Intel and needed the optimization tweaks to return the performance? Probably not, but still a valid reason for "faster" as a design goal.
So how much faster does it run on standard M1 compared to the previous version (if at all)?
Good to know, but Resolve has always been wicked fast. A great alternative to FCPX and what I recommend for all of my cash strapped students.
I've only used it to grade, since I need my NLE to talk to almost all of the Adobe apps, which is something Resolve struggles to do.

Guess this isn't software you use. Since it's pretty cheap for what their paid version offers, particularly compared to Adobe CC.
Tightly integrated? What do you think adobe has more tightly integrated than Davinci? Photo editing and video editing? Resolve is an NLE, DAW, CC software, VFX, delivery ... all in one software pack. Adobe still has you jumping from one app to another ... and Adobe ME has a gamma shift on exporting Broadcast MXF... so you're still better of making a broadcast master in Davinci eventually ... luckily Adobe's AAF and XML implementation is rock solid for 'tight integration' with other software /s
Other way around actually. As they are now, applications will not have access to that space where the notch lives. So there is no adapting to it. If a developer wants to use that space, then, they need to adapt their UI. But as is, the notch gets in the way of nothing, including your ignorance.
But we are...
BTT: I think you're right. Let's first see what all these softwares do when the Notchbook comes out in real life.
Uh, we know what it will do. That space is ignored by applications because the OS doesn’t offer it as display space. Applications must explicitly ask to use that space (in full screen mode), otherwise only the menu bar uses it, or it is ”filled” with black to hide it in full screen mode.
This isn’t rocket science.
? Guess who’s back notch crazy! I’ll give you a clue, Notch Fanatic- this thing you have circled is in the daVinci window, and not in the menu bar which is the only place the notch affects. Ok?
I had assumed the OP was talking about ‘home’ as in the country/area they live in rather than at their actual house - I dont think it was a brag on how many 4kTV’s they have, rather than a lack of them even being widely available around let alone in much use by residents.
Justin credible really. These new MacBook Pros are easily the most powerful laptops on the market today.
I would assume 5x faster than the M1. They mention the M1 optimization brought a threefold increase in performance from the non-optimized version. Now optimized for the M1 Pro and Max, it gets another 5x increase in performance.
