is iMovie stable under Tahoe on M1?
I have a clients pair of M1 mini that I want to upgrade.
I was thinking Sequoia coz I'm on it.
But if iMovie is stable under Tahoe, I'd take them there.
Mac mini (M1, 2020)
In my experience, no.
Since upgrading to Tahoe, iMovie became more or less unusable for me. It would open fine, but loading old projects would take an inordinate length of time (10s of minutes, if you're prepared to wait), if they would ever finish loading at all.
I really wish I hadn't upgraded, but I did and there's no option to go back without losing data.
In the end it was so bad (not just iMovie, but other random hard crashes in macos - a couple per day) that I ended up nuking the entire system and rebuilding from zero.
This was my experience only, a couple of weeks ago 26.3+ , Macbook Pro M1 Pro. You might be fine :)
Also, if this matters to you, Tahoe no longer supports importing with FireWire from DV cameras.
thanks, that's what I was afraid of. The client is technologically dumb no matter how many times I show him. He'd be the first to admit it. So I'll stick with what I know works, Seq.
ah, firewire. I remember ye well.
Is iMovie stable on M1 Macs running Tahoe?
