Hi all,
I want to buy a secondhand Macbook Pro 2018 13 inch. I5 with 8GB, to bridge the 6 month gap till i buy the new 2019 13 inch version with specs bumped up.
So my question is can i do the below without massive forms of lag on the timeline/preview viewer based on the currently lowest entry level macbook pro 2018 13 inch (no touchbar version)
I want to get cracking on FCPX as i am only versed with Adobe premiere so far.
I make daily youtube videos.
These are the specs:
I understand its not a beast of a laptop so there are compromises, i try to avoid having to use proxy files as that would slow down my workflows too much.
Also do you recommend i render the iphone 4K material down to 1080 or just use 1080p native and then render it out in FCPX? i do know about the youtube compression which sucks up the bitrate and overall quality of videos, but i try avoiding spending too much time with 4K files honestly.

These are the specs:
- 10~ minutes long
- source: Iphone 4K/30/60fps (H.265), GoPro Black hero 7 1080 at 30 FPS(H.265 i believe)
- Some videos have 2/3 video channels as input, but i cut the clips so they dont overlap on the timeline.
