![]() Half debayer plays, but just a slight studder now and then. This machine cuts through 6K & 8K RED like Butter ( 8K - 70 fps, 1080P timeline, 1/4 debayer ). Keep in mind that Resolve utilizes the Machine better than Premiere. Here are a few "Experience Benchmarks" I can share. Until my new M2 MAX shows up, ( YAYYYYY ) I will continue using my original M1 MacbookPro 16GB. Or does anyone here have a new Mini already? Perhaps staff members at BMD have had the opportunity to test the Mini with Resolve before they came out to market?Ĭheers to all and thanks in advance for your feedback! These new Minis are just coming out, so I'll take any feedback based on specs as they look on paper. I wonder if that USD 500 difference, which is not that huge after all, justifies going with the Mini and its new M2 chip instead of the Studio. Rather, I'm wondering if the new Mini will be plenty for my normal editing work in Resolve, including editing, color grading and some FX (I'm not a power user of Fusion by any means, but hope to learn more), as well as sound and exporting. So I'm really not looking for rants about Apple's evil strategies to make us spend money or advice about adventurous paths to build my own PC rig. I don't buy into any computer-brand sects (these are only tools after all), but have been a Mac user for years and am not about to change platforms. Most notably, the Studio would have 32-core CPU as opposed to 19-Core GPU in the Mini. Also, the Mini would have 32GB RAM instead of 64GB. In the case of the Studio, I had decided to go with the intermediate configuration with upgrades, as follows:Īpple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engineįront: Two USB-C ports, one SDXC card slotīack: Four Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, one HDMI port, one 10Gb Ethernet port, one 3.5 mm headphone jack.Īs far as ports go, the Mini loses the 2 front USB-C ports and the SDXC card reader (which I have both as a peripheral and in my BenQ monitor). My M2 Mac Mini configuration would be as follows:Īpple M2 Pro with 12‑core CPU, 19-core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engineįour Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI port, two USB‑A ports, headphone jack Now Apple announces the new M2 MacMini and I wonder if I should reconsider my decision. Others may have different opinions.My mind was set on buying a new Mac Studio at the beginning of 2023, but I haven't made the purchase yet. To get significantly better Fusion performance exporting performance (on a par with Apple Motion) will require more optimization by BMD. Fusion, as currently configured, is not using all the available resources on an M1 Max. But I am skeptical that the performance will scale linearly with the more encoders and GPU cores. I think the M1 Ultra will be faster than the M1 Max. Motion was about 4.5x faster exporting than Fusion. I also tried the same project that I coded using Apple Motion. Others who ran my code in Windows stated that the M1 Max was about 50% faster. There was nothing that I could do in terms of breaking the project up into smaller pieces and running the sections in parallel or adding TimeStretcher nodes to improve the performance. Export rate dropped to about 1 - 2 FPS about half way through export. In a composition I did recently, GPU usage was about 80% and only 4 cores were used. ![]() Long compositions, say 200 nodes, take a long time to render/export. M1 Max handles short Fusion compositions well. I find work generally smoothly.Ģ) Fusion. Here is my experience with transitions and Fusionġ) Transitions.
