#MACBOOK AIR VIDEO UPDATE#

It’s a bit compressed and a newer option for high-quality 4K so there may still be a potential for future optimization. Where there might have been some struggling was using some intra-frame 4K 30p footage from the C70 using the XF-AVC 10-bit 4:2:2 codec. Applying some LUTs, layering music, adding titles didn’t seem to impact performance at all. Adding to the challenge is that the MacBook Air used in this test is outputting to a large display.Īmong the test footage is some 2K ARRI ALEXA footage that is a heavy ProRes 4444 codec. The new MacBook Air brings many of our most advanced technologies to this iconic design for the first time including a brilliant Retina display, Touch ID. So of course being a MacBook air, the screen is one of the most important things theyve shaved down the bezel a little bit. Now, he still puts a lot of different types of footage to the test using the Premiere Pro beta.

If you are still on the fence about getting a new MacBook and want to make sure something like the Air can hold up with Premiere Pro now that the Apple Silicon update is live this video from Potato Jet might just have the answer.Įarly feelings from Gene are that the M1 MacBooks are very fast. In this video I unbox, setup, benchmark and take a first look at the M1 MacBook. As more and more developers get on board, we are seeing the true potential (and limitations) of these latest chips. The new 2020 MacBook Air M1 is here with the new Apple Silicon, the scissor keyboard, better battery life and more. The chip appears to be incredibly powerful and able to handle heavy-duty workflows – as long as the software is optimized for Apple Silicon. Apple’s M1 chips are a subject of much debate in the video editing world.
