Can You Edit Video On The CHEAPEST M1 Macbook Air? // Premiere Pro

[@musanetesakupwanya1050]

Awesome video. Got mine 2moths back, a great deal on a 3mth old 16gb model. I've enjoyed it so far. I'm still starting my journey down the editing game, so this is waaaay more than enough for me 😁. Again, great video with good practical tests!

Finally an actual editing experience and not a sales pitch. I’m beginning to get into 4k music videos (I have some on my page). Currently I would say I’m not doing any extreme edits but I would like a computer I could grow into. I wouldn’t want to waste money and I shoot with an eos r. Do you think I could get away with using an air or should I go into a pro chip?

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it. Honestly I’ve not used the pro chip and I’m trying to avoid trying it as I know it will cost me money 🤣 the MacBook Air was astonishing though, in some respects blowing my very expensive computer out of the water. This hooked up to a big monitor “should” be all you would need for a good few years I would think.

Thanks so much 🙏🏽 just subbed

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Thank you 🙃

Cool video! I’m in the market for another computer but there’s so much to consider. Decades ago I used to get Mac towers but to get the Mac Pro fully decked out one now retails for about $55,000!

thank you for this great review and editing walkthrough! very helpful!!!

[@MurdahProduXtions]

Screen recording with premiere in the background and safari pulled up. Even with the multicam footage Im impressed with the Air

[@samchui1]

Is it the base model?

[@Andrew.Chalov]

Thanks a lot. Very helpful review.

[@L.A-kn4up]

very helpful! thank you!

[@ougibbons]

Thanks for a proper rand thorough review. I got the same specced Air yesterday and I'm planning to use it for Premiere and After Effects editing for client work from time to time when traveling. I have a pretty powerful desktop PC and the idea is to use the PC for the majority of my work but to copy projects over to the Air so that I would be able get some work done when going away for a weekend or finishing and doing final touches on the go. Would you consider doing a Premiere Pro review as well? I will do my own testing as well but waiting for a docking station which I ordered so I can copy stuff across and use an extra screen.

[@ufo_daniel]

Could you please give me an updatw on how its going

[@jw_film]

That really did throw a massive hissy fit at that mogart!! Really impressed by the enormous multicam edit and how it coped with that.

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Yeah I’m half impressed and half disappointed haha it’s odd.

[@christianhotter]

This makes me glad I’m not using Premier with my M1 Mac Mini. My favorite feature was how quiet it was. My self built PC sounded like a hotel air conditioner.

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Are you a fcp user? I am tempted to try it. I’ve not used it in years.

[@christianhotter]

@@ChrisWatkinsMedia Davinchi Resolve. I definitely would not have moved to Mac if I had to switch editing software.

[@MarcusUinPortfolioStudio]

May i know the macbook air M1 is 8gb ram you use on edit video right ?

[@Adr805]

yes cause he has written that's the cheapest ;)

[@qs7b]

best test so far, but is it 8 ram?

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Thank you! Yes it is

[@amysbees6686]

@@ChrisWatkinsMedia Would you recommend going up to 16GB RAM?

[@TheThinFrame]

Great video, new subscriber here! By the way where can I find that singer? It sounds really good

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

Thank you :) the band are called Cardinal black

[@TheThinFrame]

@@ChrisWatkinsMedia cheers

[@ChrisWatkinsMedia]

No problem at all 😃

[@KevinTSolomon]

I just think a lot about how this thing would do when it’s not screen recording.

[@Niqhttps]

is 8gb worth it for premier pro?

[@amysbees6686]

That's what I want to know.
