What Spec Macbook of Pro for Final Cut? Chip or RAM more important with new Macs?
Hey All!
I edit videos daily for my Youtube Channel. I currently have a 2015 3.1ghz dual core i7 with 16mb RAM. It is struggling with editing, especially 4K.
Have been looking a the new MacBook Pros and wondering what spec I should go for and what to prioritise.. with the new unified memory and M1 Chips it seems the RAM figure is now less important?
Essentially I mainly film in HD, 4 cameras in one go which I combine in a multicam clip.. this can take a while for the current laptop to process. But also would like to have 5-10 min intros which would be in 4K. I use it solely for editing, word and browsing..
So, Do I need to go for an M1 Max chip or would an M1 Pro do (if so which one?) and would I be ok with 16mb or do I need to go with 32? Basically whats the cheapest spec I can get away with?
Thanks!!
