Used as a dedicated video editing machine, the SSD's endurance in the M1 models could rapidly be exhausted. This isn't a major concern for average computer use, but video editing is anything but average. Typical modern SSDs are only rated for 300 to 600 full re-writes. SSDs are wear items, like car brake pads. Both the M1 laptops and Mac Minis have their SSDs soldered to the main board. The slightly lighter weight Mac OS is not going to substantially lower those RAM requirements, as most of the RAM will be used by the massive video data streams.īut the most important consideration is storage. If for no other reason than large effects can rise above even the $6,000 M1 Mac's 64GB RAM maximum. Puget System's research shows which codecs are supported by which PC hardware for both DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere.Ī properly built PC, using codecs that are supported by it should equal the performance of a similarly priced M1, and greatly outperform M1 Macs in heavy effects and color grading of 4K video. While the M1 can edit (some) 4K easily due to it's hardware accelerated H264 and H265 encoding and decoding, many PCs have the same or better levels of H264 and H265 hardware acceleration.
Which codec? Which bit depth? Which chroma subsampling? The rendering and scrubbing is essentially the same in both
