Are there any video editors left doing work on mac pros? I know this test was all about photoshop, but when talking about work that really needs to flex system muscle, is there anyone left in the mac pro space? All the illustrators and video guys I know are on pcs now, but I only have a small sphere to pull from.
- flukus 10y agoIs there any sort of cap where the amount of RAM makes no/little difference to video editing? Could video editing be done more efficiently by streaming more data (especially off SSD) instead of loading it into memory or is it a case of lazy developers? Genuine questions from someone with zero video editing experience.
- tracker1 10y agoWell, h.265 encoding alone in software is painfully slow, but better results than using nvenc... I use nvenc, because it goes 5-6x as fast. Video editing is bound to be worse considering the number of layers of audio/video, framing, transitions... with 4K being at least 4x the overhead of 1080p, and needing two screens to do it effectively (full-screen preview on one display), that's a LOT of overhead for a system. 4K is what's pushing GPUs to their limit today, let alone video editing's demands.
