In this video I do a live editing session in Davinci Resolve with the Macbook Pro M3 Max. These are the specs:
MacBook Pro M3 Max chip with 14‑core CPU, 30‑core GPU: 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, 36GB unified memory, 1TB SSD storage
I edit 3 clips from Canon, Sony and DJI, in 4k 10 BIT. I use some heavy effects like Noise Reduction, Film Grain, Halation and Bloom, to really push the performance of this Macbook and show you how it performs under heavy editing.

Awesome video, real world tests like these are more important than render graphs 📊 The apple stores near me won't let me test all these things in the store, even though they expect me to drop 3.5K for a machine like that -_-
Could you perhaps make a similar video with some animation and tracked titles over video in fusion? That's where the M1 dropped out when I tried it at a friend's house 😅

@@dzyanw thanks for your comment! Yeah I might do a part 2 of this video and test that out. :)

With dehancer, do you not need another CST to go to cineon film log like with Davinci's built in Kodak 2383 lut?

@@trent1847 as far as I know, you don't have to, because I set my input in Dehancer to the color space I was working on, which is Davinci Wide gamut. What I probably should have done is add the dehancer note at to end of the node tree (after the Rec 709 CST). 👍

Is 18 core gpu version of MacBook good enough for resolve and the various plugins? I am a beginner and trying to get into video editing, or should I go for max chip?

@@virajrana1865 Hey, thanks for commenting! You mean the M3 pro? Yeah it should be very good for editing as well, even if you need to edit at 1080p timeline instead of 4k. 👍

So I buy a laptop for 4k dollars to down my timeline to 1080p. LOL it is ridiculous

[@fabvisions]

@@fonbismork1929 i know what you mean, but keep in mind the effects I used are very heavy, and the main goal was to push this laptop to the max. I always edit in 4k and generally have no issues. Some High end PCs will also struggle with things like noise reduction and such. I still think that for a laptop the performance is really good.
