Check out my followup review 1 Year Later - czcams.com/video/Vb78LfjsShI/video.html
I just got one too and I like how sturdy it feels. plus it’s crazy fast to edit. even Lightroom HDR merges are so much quicker than my 2019 MacBook Pro.
Yup! Pretty crazy! So worth it
❤
This is the exact same model I’m looking at to purchase! Thank you for the video. I’m also getting off the same iMac and so connected with you when you said you used to dread editing! Merci!
Haha awesome! It’s still doing great. I got a monitor recently and that’s been amazing with it to have the screen space
That's super helpful! Thank you so much!
No prob!
Thank you so much for the review, very helpful! I do some heavy editing as a gig and was considering switching from my Windows PC. Wondering how this holds two or three 4k tracks played back simultaneously (preferably in Premiere and I know that Adobe apps are not well optimized on Mac)? Also would you say having 32 GB RAM is more beneficial for heavy editing of 4k footage? I am doubting 16 GB is enough in 2023, but from your video the playback with effects was really impressive on your 16 GB model.
Hey! It’s been great so far. I don’t do a lot of multi track or heavy effects so it’s been totally fine. But if I were you I’d probably go with 32 like you’re saying. Also another great option is the Mac mini + a monitor if you don’t need it to be mobile!
I have two legacy Dell monitors, the plan is to connect them to this MacBook via HDMI or Display port adapters, from the videos I've seen it's feasible, thanks mate!
Nice!! Enjoy :)@@AlexND
32 is critical for final cut. It will freeze on export if it's 4k and longer than 10 minutes
Great video again. Thanks! Is 16gb of memory good for your needs? I've heard that 32gb is the way to go. I'm also on the fence about getting the 14" Pro or the 16" Max. I'm not overly concerned with the price jump, but the weight is something I'm really considering. I also heard not to get the Max chip in the 14" because it just can't handle the extra power and it throttles too much to be usable.
Anyways, congrats on the new laptop. I still have a 2017 MBP and its really showing its age when editing videos and photos.
For sure! So far it's been great. I'm liking the size of the 14 a lot but it just depends on what you prefer. If you have the budget why not go with 32 :) It wouldn't hurt!
Oh man! Nice video! Will upgrade from a 2015 macbook. Thanks for this! Now I know how fast will be my editing on my weddings :P
Nice!! It's crazy how much faster the new processors are. I did a 1 yr update on it if you want to check it out for more insight. czcams.com/video/Vb78LfjsShI/video.html&lc=UgzksvYnGVmSGycMK-14AaABAg
amazing video as always!
Thank you! More coming soon :)
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo is a canon r10 (apsc sensor) with the kit lens (18-45mm) ok for real estate? I’m pretty sure the 18 mm would be equivalent to a 27mm full frame.
Awesome footage and tests, so glad we can finally edit EVERYTHING! No joke, I had to upgrade my 2019 speced out MBP to finish a big client project that had c70, c200 RAW video, footage from my R6 which doesn't run well, and a bunch of effects and stuff. Took weeks on the first edit on my old computer, and then just a day or two for the next edit on the new Mac mini m2 pro.. insane! Wonder how much time was wasted with extended ending.
Also, lmao at my office hahah
I know all of this lol why are you leaving it in a comment 😂 dork
Thank you for this video. I have a 15” MacBook Pro - 2018. Things are slowing down significantly so time for an upgrade (unfortunately). I know there is a 16 inch but that 14 inch is mighty tempting. Do you have problems editing on that size screen or would you actually have preferred a 16 inch if your budget allowed?
For sure! For me it’s better for the portability but yes the screen size gets old for video editing especially. I recently got a 32” monitor though and that’s been so much nicer to edit on. If you don’t need the portability I’d go with the Mac mini and a monitor over the laptop.
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo thanks. I like the portability. I don’t edit video, only RAW images but I’m sure it can get old over time with an even smaller screen than what I already use. A monitor is on my wish list.
Hi Taylor, can I ask you which display settings you use for video editing and color correction?
I mean preset and frequency (proMotion, yes or not?).
Thank you
Hey! I have my MacBook on: Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits), Promotion. I just got a new monitor though, and have been editing with sRGB Colors and checking the difference vs Mac Colors + Rec709 Colors because I noticed Apple's Color Profile is a little cooler + more contrasty. It's this BenQ one if you're looking! Definitely nice to have the extra screen space lol - www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTTVM832?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo
Many thanks my friend!
I'm thinking about making the switch to Apple after being a PC girl like forevah! Hey .. what MotionvFX pack is that that you are using? I see it says mRealEstate but I can't find it anywhere!
Nice! It’s just called mReal Estate . What program are you searching for?
Hi ya, do you think I can edit 4k 25p video and render on the base model with 512gb SSD and 16gb ram on premier or final cut pro? Also edit 24mp photos in Lightroom? My budget won't stretch too far! Your input would be appreciated.. regards, Jeff
I think so! I do that and the main upgrade I got was the bigger internal hard drive so processing should be the same on base model
When previewing at best quality four video tracks at the same time is more GPU cores more important than more RAM ?
Not sure. Probably??
Main reason why I don't want to upgrade my eos r's. I have a fast PC but not sure how it would handle h265
For real! Same lol. Well it’s even better editing EOSR footage on the new comp 😂 even the 4k now!
Is this the base model or did you do any upgrades ?
Hey! It's the one linked below - It's been keeping up great too. I added a monitor (BenQ 32'') which has been much nicer for video editing with the extra space - Otherwise It's been running 4k edits just fine this whole time.
M2 Pro, 14'', 12-core CPU, 19-core GPU, 16GB RAM

Watching from the Philippines!!! I'm also saving money to finally buy a MacBook Pro M2 Chip
Thanks! It’s been a great investment even though it hurts to pay that much lol
Well, well. Looks like this will be a good choice in the possibly near future. 🤔
So far so good 🫡
Prior to the new M series of Macs they were WAY overpriced. Now they are priced very similar to a Windows laptop with the same performance but get days of battery over 2.5 hours of battery.
That’s a good point 🤘makes me feel better about it lol
Is this good enough for After Effects?
Not sure since I don't use AE! But probably for normal stuff.
What are the specs of your macbook?
Hey! It's the one linked below the video. It's 16gb ram, 1tb drive, 14'', m2 pro. Its been great (still)!
nice
Thanks!
Hello great video. What’s the specs of your laptop? Is it the base model?
Hey! Here’s the link to the exact one I got. Still enjoying it!! It’s the M2 Pro (not max), 1TB HD, 16gb RAM amzn.to/41cketh
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo I see. Thank you. I like your content
Thanks!
Sometimes I wonder if those software updates actually slow down your computer. We’ll never know..
They do for sure lol
There is not a Windows laptop at the same price point that can come anywhere near matching the Apple M chips for video editing, so it’s the Windows machines that are over priced not the Macs
Fair point!
I’m starting a class for Photography/Video Editing, with that being said. Would you recommend the MacBook Pro M2 ‘14?
P.S - I’ve owned a MBA M1 ‘13, but I doubt that it’ll handle the heavy workload.
For sure! It's been great. I will probably get a bigger external monitor soon though - it gets a little crowded for video editing sometimes!
Why is the "helo" on login misspelt?
Not sure, I think it shows a variety of languages so maybe that's why?
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo The only language I know that uses "helo" is Welsh. Why would you be logging in in Welsh?
@@peterbreis5407 Before you get the computer set up, it runs through a video/screensaver thing that says hello in a lot of languages - so that makes sense it would have welsh included along with a lot of others. It doesn't still say that now that I have it set up in English lol
I’ll get the base model 😂
Same, if you got a hard drive you don’t need 1tb, my 2020 MacBook base model starting to sound like a jet engine when I use premiere pro and uploading to CZcams especially since I record in 4K so definitely time to upgrade
I enjoyed the video and really dug the tests. That being said, how how how could you not mention the frame rates you were shooting in. All the reviews are the same. Showing excellent performance with no details as to what is being edited. My M2 max comes tomorrow. I have a 4090 powerhouse Legion i9 PC, does great on 10 bit 422 GH6 footage at 30p but fails big time on the 60p stuff. Sending it back. Every Legion reviewer said the same BS. I can throw anything at it and it eats it up! and then I throw hi rez 60p footage with a slight color grade in adobe premiere and it sucks. So I have to wonder about all you reviewer who know better then to leave out this critical info but do just that. Can you explain wud up wit dat? I do enjoy and learn from your videos.
Hey! Not sure, just didn’t think about it. I mostly film in 60 fps or sometimes 30fps. Since this video it’s done great with 4k60 and RAW from the c70 for client work I’ve used it for 👍
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo cool thanks. I got my m2 max today and it blow blows away the Legion 9i 4090. It's mind blowing good compared to that.
@sutv6754 nice! Yeah it’s really surprising how much better they made these. Makes editing a much better experience lol
@@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo So much dishonesty on CZcams. Major Channels saying 4090 RTX devours mac. All lies. I have had 4 PC laptops and a powerful desktop all dragging me down. In the last 6 months I've had the very highest Dell Precision and 2 Lenovo's. All sent back after taking so much time to set them up and configure the machine for optimal editing performance. 30 minutes after my M2 showed up at the door I knew. It was like I was born. Flawless editing. Halleluja.
Glad it finally worked out for ya! You should do a review and share your experience - I'm sure a lot of people can relate.@@sutv6754
