I bought the cheapest Mac! Base Model M2 Mac mini & Davinci Resolve

Great upgrade! Should help quite a bit vs the Intel MacBook. I got myself the 2022 MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro for this same reason -- video editing is extremely demanding! Make sure you've got plenty of RAM especially if you're editing in 4K. Just out of curiosity, have you looked at doing a livestream setup and recording with OBS? Basically you connect all your cameras via USB, use OBS to setup everything including overlays, background music etc, and it can also record all your camera angles to individual files while recording, so you can always go back and edit like you're currently doing in DaVinci. It just saves editing time IMO.

Thanks - I'm not familiar with OBS. As I mentioned in the vid, this has been a HUGE learning curve. Only a few months ago I was filming everything on my iPhone and editing in iMovie. I'm still learning on getting the best results out of my ZV-E10. I wouldn't like to predict how my workflow will evolve, apart from saying I'm sure it will! Thanks for Watching.

​@@watchout9213 Yep, big learning curve for me too, and I also got the ZV-E10! It's a great camera, but a lot to learn for sure. Basically OBS is software for live streaming and recording through your PC, but also lets you set up overlays for things like the name of the music track playing, your subscriber count, etc. And you can set this all up in an extremely customizable way. Basically a main benefit to me is that it removes the need to download large movie files from a camera, and everything is just saved into the PC from the get-go. It's also cool because it lets me overlay one camera angle in a small box in the corner, just the way Kalle from Chronoglide does. So I can be talking to the camera, and showing the watch under the microscope at the same time. Cheers!
