Hi All,
I'm a video editor and bought a Mac mini M1 as a bridge between an old iMac and my eventual, new system (planning to build a hackintosh.) I was intrigued by the new chip and thought that when apps ran natively on it, that it should be comparable or better than my old system.
When using Premiere and timeline with multiple layers, there would be visual artifacts both after the timeline was rendered and also upon export. Sometimes these glitches wouldn't be in the same place. Obviously, very annoying as I'd have to watch every video down after export to make sure there are no random glitches.
I was open to the fact that this might be an issue with my workflow and was working to refine my process to see if I could see what the issue was. Nesting sequences sometimes helped.
Fast forward to about a week ago. I left four videos encoding overnight. When I woke up, the last one was hanging. I already had what I needed, so I stopped that export and left for the day. When I came back from work that night, the Mac was off and refused to turn back on. No status light, no fans. I tried to Revive it via an old Mac. No luck. I brought it to the Genius Bar and they are sending it back to fix it. Right now, they're diagnosing as a power supply issue, but b/c I was having issues previously I'm not so sure.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Could this be a deeper issue (linked to writing to the ssd constantly? The new chip?). I'm only partially computer savvy, and I just wanted to see what the board thinks.
Thanks.
