SESSION DESCRIPTION

Separating actual performance from all the marketing hype and reviews by people who don’t know anything about video editing is a challenge.

In this webinar, Larry Jordan tests and compares the performance of Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve running on four different Macs:

• 2018 i7 Mac mini
• 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Pro
• 2023 M2 Max Mac Studio
• 2024 M4 Pro Mac mini

His goal? To answer two questions: “How fast is our editing software?” and “What combination of hardware should we look at to maximize the performance of our editing software?”

As Larry discovered, the answers will surprise you.

AUDIENCE LEVEL

This beginning-level session is designed for all video editors, regardless of what software you are using or the hardware you are running on.
