NOW, the mini M1 handles Resolve projects greatly, up to 4k ones, better than any Intel computers, up to a 1080 ti GPU included to give an example.
No, this is just an answer from someone who tries to be logical but didn't try the machine. So while I'm personally waiting for a ARM Mx mac pro (hahaha, yes I can wait a lot but who knows), I think the title of this thread says it all : yes, a mini simplifies the transition and allows old-hardwared guys not to invest in what's going to be obsolete in 1 year only this time.įrom now to this summer, I'll watch for potential rev2 M1, but will probably buy a 800 bucks M1 mini to keep updated for BMD M1 releases, and use it for tests of transition. Of course, where the GPU is intensely demanded, it cannot compete yet but hey, did you watch the high level of beefy intel config a simple mini was able to really blow out on Resolve tasks ? I wouldn't ever think it was even possible. I personally cruised the web and saw that tons of video show you that only the render is to be slow on M1 series, but for the rest, almost everybody - even professional pessimistic ones - is amazed about what a simple M1 MB or Mini is able to handle (including more than 4K and candle tests etc.).
I've come to the conclusion that upgrading old hardware starts to be really irrelevant these days. I would also not have to worry about fine-tuning my PC and listening to the constant hum of fans.Īnyone having regrets on their M1 purchase after editing as you normally would on a PC? I have a feeling I will not see much of an improvement from my current setup and then not be ready for any upgrade for two years. If I could pay $1k every two years for a new Mac Mini (base model with a couple of upgrades), I would be close to my yearly upgrade costs with my PC. My next upgrade is a video card, but looking at what I want to pay for a decent graphics card, I could buy the new Mac Mini for a bit more. Initial investment 3 years ago: $1.5k self-built PCĪs my computer struggles too much with my workflow, I upgrade parts. If I could get a decent editing experience from a Mac within my current budget, I would love to do that. I'm a low budget video producer, but I'm surrounded by Apple products in my house.
I wanted to see how people who have the new Mac Mini M1 edition are feeling after editing a project.
