the fact that the entire video was shot on iPhone! Dope ending
"the last thing you want to do is a bunch of edits, and then have to wait to see if it acctually looks the way you want it to look." ... reminded me of how it used to be all the time. Layering three images, adding fx, trying to time it to the music ,while only seeing black on playback (AVID)... and having to wait render to see the result. 6K was unheard of, we were only editing in SD ... Rendering meant it was time for a coffee break... we had a lot of those.
Pinnacle Liquid Edition 6 circa 2001. Yes. I remember this feeling.
Haha. Times grace definitely changed😂!
I was reading your comment on the exact time he was saying the word 😂 freaky
Personally I have the base Model M3 MacBook Pro and I edit 4K24p HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 shot in S.Log.3 and S.Cinetone on the Sony A6700 and it works like a breeze, what I did was getting a 2TB LaCie SSD from Apple and Optimise/Transcode all my HEVC media into Apple ProRes 422 and edit straight from the SSD and it works like a charm. The new SSD's they use will last you long so you don't have to worry about swap memory at all, if it ever feels sluggish editing 8K footage maybe, you can go to FinalCut Pro and turn on Better Performance Issue or just use Proxies. For me it works flawlessly, I am also a software developer and I use Xcode a lot with a bunch of tabs open and it never slows down on me.
I have the same laptop too. No issues regarding similar workflows.
did u get the 8GB RAM ?
god damn!!!!! Amazing lol
@@18PregnantAndProud yes I did
What’s the RAM?
I just bought based on this vid and the m3 base is working great!
1998: Editing a video with a Pentium. 2024: Can I edit a video with a 10.000x faster chip? Good question 🫣
In 1998 you had 360p to edit, not 4 and 6K
Of course you can edit videos on the base model M3 Mac. I used to edit on the base model M1 MacBook Pro. It'll get it done, 8GB of RAM is measly, but I got it done. I didn't like not having enough ports on the M1 13" MacBook Pro, I ended up grabbing the 14" MacBook Pro, mines has the unbinned M1 Pro, 10 core CPU, 16 core GPU.
So much for Apple calling the 13.3" Macbook Pro made for "pro users". I thought I just didn't like Macs when I bought that laptop. When I traded it in for the 14" I saw a world of differences that I stopped using my windows desktop.
is the 8gb good for editing videos 1080p in after effects?? how long did it last you??😭
@@algebruh_m8652did you also get the base 8gb ram??
@@quinntayy I did that with the M1 MacBook Pro when I had it. That will do it just fine.
@@quinntayy No I've always stuck with 16GB, I needed it for video editing and photo editing.
you are addressing video editors without testing premiere pro on m3?
You have insane production value in your videos compared to just about anyone else.
Hats off
Yes he’s think media and Sam Dunn level easy
Super impressed with how you deliver the message, hit the important stuff, avoid needless chatter, provide very relevant information & make it interesting.
MacBook Pro 16 inches (m3 pro chip - base model), is it a good choice for editing 4K drone videos and 3D photometry softwares? I am starting and m3max is too expensive for me at this time. I prefer the 16 inches.
I think the Max is not really a good investment for a real pro workflow, not because of the SOC performance, but because when you want to use your laptop for a big production you´ll come across with a lot of issues, mainly connecting your very expensive machine to a SAN or NAS most of them are at least on 10GbE and dongles are unstable on Mac OS right now, they overheat after a couple of hours of work, randomly disconnect and you have to spend a lot of times and frustrations to find one that work just to be broken again by a OS or NLE software update.
So my recommendation would be get an affordable laptop (mac or windows doesnt matter) and for real professional work get something that can be easily (and natively) connected to a fast network; the Mac Sudio it´s cheaper for the Max performance, comes with the right amount of RAM and it has 10GbE port integrated. You´ll be happier editing on that machine, with thermal headroom, more connectivity ports for monitors, drives, headphones and speakers and you can still use your laptop for all the other stuff while working. My two cents.
Thanks to your comment, I know I’m not on the “professional” spectrum as an editor (in a good way)
@@VincentForDesign if you get money from editing videos, then you´re on the professional spectrum. My point is that the macs as expensive as they are and how they are marketed as the ultimate creative professional workstation at the end is very limited when you get a big job, and a cheaper non professional gaming laptop most of times has the proper hardware to perform in those enviroments much better than the Macbook pro. Yes they are good for editing but in all honesty any system since haswell has been great at that.
@@sergiosanchez2012 can you recommend any gaming laptop you mentioned? Because I have been a MacBook user for the last 10 years using company’s laptop, but I might go solo in the coming months, so am looking for something that would allow me to keep editing videos without breaking a hole in my wallet.
@@VincentForDesign The MSI Stealth 16 Studio with the RTX 4070 is a great option.
Also the Lenovo 16" Legion Pro 5i 16IRX they are both around $1,600 US and Will perform great.
If You want something more robust and You don't mind the weight the ASUS studiobook Oled 16 is amazing it costs around $2400 but You get touch screen, heptic touchpad with pen input and the Oled screen is amazing.
0:14 As a motion graphics designer and video editor, I prefer Macs, but you don't need a laptop or a Mac to edit videos; you can do it on a Windows desktop computer; that's of course unless you are committed to Final Cut Pro.
P.S. I loved the reference to Apple's "Scary Fast" event in the outro.😂
Windows lol
I use an M3 Pro and love it but that comment makes no sense @@lowlowseesee
@@imeann...do you have the base model 8gb?? do you think the 8gb will be good or after effects??
This falls under the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" category. 8GB ram doesn't take much to go over with photo and video editing. Once it does that, it's using your m.2 SSD as overflow. That's a lot of unwanted read/write on your non-replaceable internal storage.
That’s true but I have the M2 MacBook Air 13” with 8GB Ram and 512GB ssd, and I used it for SLog3 10-Bit footage shot on FX-30 in XAVC S / H264 and HEVC and I added about 14 effects when color grading and editing, stacked 4K clips and even if it used the NAND ssd for the past year, and it wrote 4TB to the SSD using swap, keeping in mind that the TBW (total bytes written) on the 256GB Slower base SSD is 150TB, but it can go far more than that. And for me I still have 100% life percentage. For people that want to know what app I used, I used DriveDX for in depth reports. And macOS is amazing at memory management. For me it’s been no problem, now I ordered the base model M3 MBP as my first MBP and I don’t regret it even a slight bit due to its active cooling and ports.
Appreciate the video. Everyone I saw on CZcams suggested to get the upgraded 16G ram version. But it’s expensive… The base model is going to be 1399 at Costco next month. And I got my eyes on it!
Thank you so much Brandon! This was really helpful
I have a 7k windows laptop in a lease for over 150 euros a month, and I get a lot of noise and not even the best performance I would expect when I just use 4k footage.
Might be buying this base laptop now and later upgrade to a mac studio or whatever and end the lease to save a lot of money now.
I actually love getting a new computer. Not always easy since I’m poor but it’s always helpful and Apple makes it fantastic
Great real-world, video editing test. Got a sub. Can you also do same test on MBP M3 PRO base spec to see if it works better than this base M3.
I’m still using my M1 Mac mini for CZcams
that was just crazy how helpful you are thank you .❤
Mastery of the craft 🔥 great job on the video!
Read ur channel name and automatically said: dot cooom.
This is all I wanted to listen to thank you ...
please compare m3pro with base m1pro, should i need to upgrade or not.
Creator tool value retention: Lenses > Camera body > computer.
Laptops are cooler than lenses, but they are just tools that quickly lose value
I loved the Touch Bar and wish it was still around but evolved to have additional functionality
So helpful. Thank you very much
I’m glad you filmed on iPhone. I want to vlog my vacation next year. Going back to Hawaii
I’m thinking of either getting the M3 Pro 16” with 36gb, I want it for some light 4k video editing and photoshop, is 36gb an overkill? Should I just got with the 18gb with 512gb storage? Thanks!!
Which one did you go for? I’m torn between 18gb and 36gb
which did you get pls?? do you think the 8gb base model will be good for light editing on after effects?? pls answer 😭
I think spending $1799 on the M3 Pro base model right now for sale is a better option for $200
I have a touchbar macbook pro - did not notice it till you mentioned it here 😂 - hope that answers your question!
All jokes aside though, this is one of the better videos on picking the right macbook - i like to think i am technically motivated - but when i see all these crazy benchmark tests with a lot of jargon in some other videos, i get lost!😊
i use a M1 Max Mac Studio with 32gb ram and 1tb. feel like i should have gotten more ram and bigger SSD for sure. power wise it's fine. do some complex vids with 6 4k streams and some effects in capcut and FCP
do i get the base model? i usually make sport mixtapes on premiere pro and after effects, i also shoot slog 3 on my sony a7iii
Your color and picture quality is amazing. 👍
I like how Apple started their own hashtag with the ending credits “this entire video was shot on an iPhone 15 Pro Max lol”
What a coincidence, a 13 minute video to answer a YES or No question! I am just... SHOCKED.
Is this your first video ever? Ah bless you
Great video. So if you use working with ProRes, H264, H265… you’ll be fine. Other workflows mehh
Hey i am gng to buy m3 pro macbook pro 18gigs of ram, 11core and 14core gpu, do you think it can handle animation? Im gng to use blender, houdini that kind of stuff.
I have to say I absolutely agree with your thoughts overall, but especially on the memory- it is really disappointing from Apple that the base model starts at 8gb memory. This, in my specific case, has absolutely been enough of a reason for me to just stick with PC and Premiere Pro- because as much as I want to stick it to Adobe, I just can't justify spending nearly $2000 for a machine with 1/4 the memory of my desktop pc.
FANTASTIC Video, thanks so much for your hard work and insights. You're a great video creator!
I miss the Touch Bar🥺
Watching this while editing BRAW 6k footage on a mid-2015 Macbook pro.
I’m beginner in editing which variant should I opt for and any good ssd thanks 🙏.
Great vid! Let me know your thoughts on Final Cut Pro for iPad! It’s slightly limited (I’m a new simple creator) but man I’ve been enjoying the straightforward simplicity and ease of use once I wrapped my head around it vs premiere pro
RED RAW is super easy to work with. I am not Apple fan but also I am not Apple opponent but RED RAW is one of the best footage to work with → much better and easier to edit than BRAW. My 5 years old mid-range PC is capable to playback RED RAW with no issues at all. So this test is kind of.... useless.
Hey I want to buy a computer for editing on davinci resolve for school at the end of the summer, and I was thinking about buying an iPad Pro instead, because of the portability, do you know if I should bother, or just get the MacBook Pro?
What model would you recommend for some one that needs there laptop for music engineering, video editing, and graphic design ( animated visuals as well )
sorry if this question is annoying but did u find out?
I thought you said you were going to run it with DR in addition to FCP? Did I miss it? Thanks!
3:34 Brandon, big question...I have a MacBook Air M1 base model because that's all I could afford. I do have a T7 SSD though. I plan to shoot a short film in the spring and if I understand it right, I can edit from my SSD but how do I do that? I come from Windows computers so everything I do on my Macbook from downloading LUTS and putting them into FCPX to downloading an adjustment layer and installing it took me a loooong time.
I've never worked a day in my life in video, film or ANYTHING to do with recording things...but I'm just a lil confused why anyone who try and run ANY business off a laptop. ESP something as demanding as video editing. Like I'm sure it can be done if one throws enough money at it, but that's with just about anything. I couldn't imagine not having custom PC with a nice large screen that can handle just about anything for the backbone of my business. Any customer who thinks shooting everything, having it edited on site and expects a finished, mastered copy on the same day making a 2k laptop necessary, wouldn't be a customer I'd wanna work with anyway
I see where you are coming from, but just the portability of laptops means you could work just about anywhere you really wanted to. Then that's where more expensive laptops come in. A MacBook like that can balance both the portability and preformance, meaning, yeah, a pc would be more powerful, but a lot of people also just like to work outside, and in other places, such as a place of work, at home, and just anywhere.
That surprise really surprised. I have to turn back to watch the video again 😂
What are the huge difference between, better performance and better quality. what re their advantages and disadvantage for each and when to use.
So professional having crappy distracting audio clip throughout
Thank you so much this was so helpful!
what, the M3 is out already, that's crazy...Oh god, what can I sell to go get one

You just need one kidney to function yk…
Excellent video. Could you do a video on the equipment you use or plan on using in 2024? I've looked around CZcams and there are limited videos.
Whatever is flavour of the week is what he will be using. He's a youtuber, not a video maker.
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h 😂okay. Thanks?
So for a small video editing business, which would you definitely recommend?
Pro
@@npc2kthe 8gb too??
@@quinntayy future proof get 16gb minimum
Can i use after effects, premiere pro, photoshop and blender with 8gb m3 ? Is it worth to buy it for these apps
What spec you running on the base model buddy?
great video Brandon so im actually upgrading from an 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 to the M3 for VFX I hope ill see a difference.
Hey i am gng to buy m3 pro macbook pro 18gigs of ram, 11core and 14core gpu, do you think it can handle animation?
Appreciate the content, but these kind of tests are only beneficial for maybe youtubers or streamers who for some weird reason want to be cutting raw camera files. I have been cutting features for over ten years and I can guarantee you, no one in any studio is cutting with r3d or any raw camera files. It’s just unnecessary when dealing with hundreds of hours worth of footage. So yea, these machines are good for what they are and if you are not trying to do anything fancy editorial wise, they are pretty good value.
Amazing video I was def looking at the colors and depth of field but the iPhone 15 looks incredible
It is pretty remarkable how much performance Apple can get from 8GB of RAM. Anyone whose work mostly involves office apps and a web browser, the base 14" will serve them well for years and years. Video editors would definitely benefit from moving up to the M3 Pro. Not only do you more than double the RAM, you get more cores, more external monitors and the 3rd TB4 port.
Base model? Or do you recommend any upgrades? I use it for video editing, graphic design, and music engineering.
16gb of ram pls@@Boost-XXX
@@Boost-XXXget the pro
I'd def recommend M3 Pro, I mean I only have Google Chrome tabs open (plenty tho) and Notion and I'm using 15 GB of RAM already. @@Boost-XXX
Great video thank u
Is it valid to edit videos on this laptop and use adobe premier pro?
Adobe premiere I heard doesn't work well in m3 pro, in fact, some Profesional editors are calling it: mac BUG pro
Please reply me asap 👇🏻
Hi brother please suggest me this thing- i'm a full time designer and complex video editor in future I will use this laptop for after effects works. The video clips I use for editing those are 4k 60FPS h.264/HEVE
Currently I'm using Intel windows laptop Now I want to buy 14inch MacBook m3 pro with 11core CPU, 14Core GPU 18GB memory, 512GB SSD now can you please suggest me should I buy this laptop for next 5 years?
Advance thanks 🙏🏻
I'm just looking for a 4k 60fps one for my mini 4 Pro, pocket 3 and other Cameras
How about Premiere Pro? Can you please see how it performs on that?
Very helpful
Thanks for the review
thxxxx for this!!
Hey! Sorry, super off topic, but i really love the black stand you have under your monitor. Can you post a link for it?
I use mac from 2017-2019 with gpu nvidia at that time, all time I used for editing
and the problem at that time is MAC cant handle properly dynamic link premier pro and after effect. Its take long time!
But Now, mac have m1-m3 which they say the best forcreator. My quetion Is mac m1-m3 can handle "Dynamic link premier pro-after effect" and doing some graphic in after effect? and can doing editing withou proxy 4k 10bit files??
thanks for the review! what is your monitor setup?
what was that program that created b roll out of clips you had, thats insane
Dear Sir I am a wedding photographer I shoot most of the time HD and some times 4K and sometimes I shoot with two or three HD camera . Do you advise me to buy the M3 base model or the M3 Pro model ? I always have a desktop with intel core i7 13700K , 32GB of Ram and ......etc of excellent part .
Your desktop is good enough
Thanks, Brandon!
So, if i use m3 mac for adobe premiere 4k video editing, shooting with fx30 on slog 3, will il be fine ??? I have a monster PC for editing but im new to mac so, i need to understand which should i buy ? myby PRO?
I plan on getting the M1 Max it’s all I need
what about a rtx 4060 64gb and i7 13th gen?
i'm confused with apple today, till i don't know what should i buy for the macbook😂
I unironically miss the touchbar :(
Good to watch. Now this MacBook gift me ❤
Hay Brandon,
Great Infos.

Love the video.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you👍
I’m upgrading from a MBP 2019 with intel chip. I shoot music videos and am trying to figure out which specs would best suite my situation. I shoot with a Sony a7iii - any help would be appreciated!
I’m in same boat as well. 2019 intel. I may pull trigger and get base M3 14” pro
@@lifeofaadrian I pulled the trigger on the m3 16” max chip.
Hey how will this laptop work with transcoded apple prores LT footage... I edit on ad films on premiere pro which are shot on arri alexa or red then transcoded to apple pro res for offline edit and once my edit is locked we send it to resolve for a colorist to grade and then online edit for final deliveries... so I will never be editing on 6k - 4k resolutions... you think is a good laptop for even editing a 60 minute timeline on apple prores?
What monitor do you use?
What do you suggest for a person who edits 3 days a week in 6.2K open gate 4:2:2 codec? M1 Max or M3 Pro with the same amount of RAM? (similar price point in my place). So far I'm trying to work on 3400 USD MacBook 16 Pro with Intel chip from 2019 and this praised by many pro machine is for really patient people, even in Final Cut Pro where simple transitions can pause your work for many minutes.
Also for someone who edits often out of the flat 14 inches isn't huge downgrade to 16"?
this is 18 gb ram?
Bro this is the first time I'm watching you, I'm myself a vlogger who shoots primarily on iphone and make instagram reels. Your information was bang on! And I do have to say I love your style of vlogging or story telling on how you went in the car and bought the mac. You gained a new subscriber bro, A little thing I can definitely do!
Is m3 base chip sufficient for 4k video editing with 16gb of unified memory?
Yea I would say so
Hello how are you, sorry to bother you, I know you've been asked this question millions of times. I'm about to buy a Dell alienware x16 laptop, it comes with an Intel i9 processor, nvidia rtx4080 12 g, 32 g of memory, a 1 tera disk, it would cost me 2400 dlls vs a Macbook pro M3 pro, 2000 dlls approx.
The thing is that I've seen a lot of reviews and more Mac gives problems with Premiere, doesn't do the renders well, gives bugs, lost frames, and so on.
Gonna try Sony A9 iii?
One of the best review oh M3 MacBook 🤔
I missed the touch bar
anyone have issue export video on m3 based model finalcutpro ?
Selling a PRO laptop with only 8Gbyte... WTF?
Is 512go enough ?
Apple kinda push the M series out a lil too fast in my opinion
