Video editors with MacBook Air m2?

[Worlrl]

I’m looking to buy a Mac and was thinking about the MacBook Air, I’m a photographer and video editor ( mostly social media stuff like 15 sec reels).
Someone have experience with this computer with video editing?
Only concern is the lack of fan. How long before the cpu start throttling?
Thanks

You should be fine with the MacBook Air M2. Bursty tasks are ok on the MacBook Air M2. Once you start doing longer form projects that also have LUTs, color grading, masks, etc. is when you should really step up to the MacBook Pro for its active cooling (fan).
