The iMac took 1 hour 35 minutes 4 seconds! Hmmm. In the morning I checked, and the iMac did the regular encoding in 1 minute 54 seconds, as opposed to the 1 minute 16 seconds it took for the new Mac Studio, so not even twice as fast.īut the HEVC was a different story. When I went on to bed, the old iMac was chugging away on all four cores, and the fan kicked on to deal with overheating. The new Mac took 2 minutes and 25 seconds to do both encodings. mov file and set up Compressor on both computers to process it in batch to a regular. Compressor logs the time and is processor intensive, so it seemed like a good choice for an easy comparison. For fun I ran a speed test in Compressor on both Macs. I may have reported this somewhere else here. All the rest of the Adobe apps made the transition without problems. Adobe made that a quick and easy process. I had to deinstall Photoshop and reinstall to get the Universal version that runs natively. Photoshop under Rosetta seemed as fast as on Intel in my iMac. So far I can’t tell any slowdown on old software running under Rosetta. Your Mac should be supported by OS versions for six or eight years. Compressor chews through short videos in a minute or two. In any event, I expect my new system to be more than up to the task.Ĭlick to expand.My 2014 iMac is still rather fast on almost everything i7 4Mhz quad, so it should be fast. Otherwise, I am just so much more familiar with working in FCP that it is usually not worth it. I never got good with color grading in FCP, and in desperation sometimes used Premiere. The lighting is has been changed, so maybe I won’t have the color grading issues I used to have. My annual (except for the last three years) main video project is coming up next week. And I was still using the old Mac Pro for audio sampling while I was doing other things on the iMac. Until I got the iMac, I always used dual monitors, but with 5K never much felt the need. I got spoiled using a second monitor for those few weeks. Once I get done with that, I will likely either adapt the old 23” monitor from my 2006 Mac Pro or buy something like a 4K Dell. I’m still using the iMac to help me retrieve passwords and settings that didn’t transfer over, so it is set up beside the new monitor still. I didn’t think that was worth what you give up. The Apple monitor costs more than a lot of others, but I didn’t find anything that came close that would save more than a couple hundred dollars. A 5K monitor gives Final Cut Pro plenty of real estate for editing 4K movies. Now with the new Mac, it has its 5K splendor, and looks great. Hooked up that way, it supported just 4k, but still looked really good. So I used an adaptor to let the new monitor be a second one for the iMac. I ordered the new Studio Monitor, and it arrived several weeks before the Mac, because of the upgrades. In addition to the CPU, and on my iMac the GPU has its own memory. A slight consideration is that the RAM is also used by the GPU et. My iMac was so well tricked out that I needed to upgrade the new one to beat its specs. I recently bought a Mac Studio with the M1 Max, 64GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. They have that other monster one, but I don't think I want to drop $5K on their top of the line 32" monitor.oh, I'd like to, but don't have the extra contractor money coming in for that right now.Īnyway, I really respect the opinions of folks on here.we all know the importance of a good quality monitor for editing here, so wondering if anyone had experience with the new Apple monitors. I'd originally been thinking to increase my size upwards from 27", since my eyesight isn't getting any better, but I could compromise quality over quantity if it came down to it.ĭoes anyone have experience with the new Apple monitors? I had originally been looking perhaps at one of the BENQ offerings.still trying to weed through the differences in their models.īut I happened upon the newish lower level Apple "studio" is 27" and looks pretty good. My old, old Dell U2711 27" is fading on me, has what looks to be splotchy dim spots I can see around the display. I'm starting to look seriously soon for a new monitor.
