Linakesh Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Currently using a mid-2015 MBP 2.2 i7 w/ 16gb of ram. As soon as I add the videos to iMovie (moving to FCPX this week) and layer them with green screen or picture in picture/etc. the computer slows and sounds like a jet engine taking off. Not sure if creating proxies or upgrading new a 13" MBP 2020 model would be helpful. Also edit internally vs. external thoughts? I will be creating mostly 5-15m videos for educational purposes on a weekly basis. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I'd suggest keeping things easy and just using proxies. Also, since proxies are low data and built for editing, I've found it's perfectly fine to use 'em off really slow (and cheap) HD's. Win-win. But if you got money to burn, buy the latest and greatest hardware. Evgeniy85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntblowz Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I m currently editing 4k 160mbit on a base 8gb/256g m1 MBA with external 2tb ssd, pretty smooth most of the time except some lag when scrubbing timeline occasionally on longer videos. And 0 sound as there is no fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
