The render times for exporting from Premiere and Resolve using a system with the M1 chip is nearly identical.
Software applications like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Resolve eat up a lot of our systems resources, but will more physical memory improve our render times with the 16GB M1 MacBook Air? We all know RAM plays a big factor when you’re editing video. Was it just the lack of RAM in the new 8GB M1 MacBook that was holding us up? Now that we’re finally seeing the 16GB versions out in the real world, Created Labs put the two to the test, hoping for a massive difference. Apple initially announced the M1 with two choices for RAM (8GB or 16GB) however, as the systems started shipping, the only one you could get your hands on was the 8GB M1. We all want to stare into the eyes of the past, vividly remembering those awful days when we were stuck in stale, dark edit rooms in some basement somewhere with hard drive sounds roaring and monitors beaming light into our tired, bloodshot eyeballs, and scream in defiance a statement that starts with the letter “F” and ends with the word “You” as we hold our paper thin editing notebooks and head outside.īut all of the murmurs we keep hearing about the M1 MacBooks are telling us that, although these are good laptops, they aren’t that pleasant of a machine to edit on.
