M3 Max MacBook Pro the Best Video Editing Laptop?! | Sony a7Siii & FX3 | Behind the Scenes Vlog 010

[@sotonin]

Very nice! I feel the exact same way about my M1 Max. Rips through everything it's a powerhouse

[@davidmorefield]

Congrats on the benefits of the new laptop!

[@AlbertoMendoza]

My guy! I’m literally watching your latest vlog as I’m typing this haha.

Now this is a real user!

So exporting 1 hour 4k video with all the transactions and effects took only 6 minutes without any problems or freezes ! Only 6 mintues to finish1 hour 4k ? Man this the reall word for Power.. Cong Bro.. You deserve the Best 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@AlbertoMendoza]

The export didn’t have transitions or affect, just simple cuts. This is a fast machine.

I have the 16-inch 64GB M3 Max and I thought long and hard about getting the 14-inch. It looks so svelte with 95 per cent of the power of the 16-inch. Ultimately I went big with the better cooling of the 16-inch. But the 14-inch is the laptop Bruce Wayne whips out to send a message without sending a message.

[@Jeff-cq9ed]

How often and loud would you say the fans run? I heard they run a lot and are loud with the MAX chip in the 14 inch as opposed to the 16 inch. Thank you

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Th only time the fans kicked off is if I create proxies via media encoder. I don’t have to create them but kinda wanted to give it a stress test.

What about 10 bit 4.2.2 120fps footage graded playback..is it able to give smooth playback

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Pretty damn smooth 🤌🏼 I regret not investing on an MChip laptop years ago.

[@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy]

How about the battery? How many SOC (screen on time) hours??

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Still pretty solid. Gives me hours of run time

[@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy]

@@AlbertoMendoza lol "hours" is very subjective.. sorry to ask again.. does it pass the 8 hours limit? (that's the bare minimum for me to work)

[@AlbertoMendoza]

@@ExplorerOfTheGalaxy it depends on the kind of programs you’re running. For Internet browse you’ll for sure do 8hr +. I’m running premiere most of my time so it’ll give me around 4-5 hours

[@ferrarifox9552]

Hi,, I'm interested to but the m3 max 14 base, but yet I saw alot of videos saying that this machines is suffering from Heat & throttle which recommends to but the m3 max 16 instead of 14 ! for me I work with final cut pro,,so pls what is your advise to buy the m3 max 14 or 16 ? thank you :)

[@AlbertoMendoza]

I just replied to you on the other video.

[@sotonin]

Get a M1 Max instead.... I have the 16 and love it

[@Tricklarock]

Yessir, DAGO!!! My 16" M3 Max 36gb/1tb arrives Tuesday, I can't wait! It'll be my 1st Apple product as well. I had bought a Legion 5 laptop a couple of years ago, and even though I was using VLC player, it struggles to play back 4k clips from my A7iv, so I can only imagine what editing might be like (although I've never tried using proxies?! We need a new machine for work, so I didn't want to take any chances. Desktop PCs that compare to the M3 max cost a couple grand more - and the Macbook is portable! What really sealed the deal was the fact that, whenever I talked w/salespeople at Best Buy (screw them!!!) and other stores, they'd ask me, 'what are you using this thing for?!?!?!'. So, anyway, I use Premiere. Is there really much difference, or is there anything I should know that will help???

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Nice! You’ll love it. I still film in proxies since I’m used to it but you don’t necessarily have to from my experience. There honestly much of a difference between PC and Apple. If anything Apple is a lot more simple.

[@psysword]

Would 128 gb ram be overkill on the 14 inch m3 max? Thinking of using it for blender and heavy vfx and motion tracking in fcpx and Adobe premiere

[@AlbertoMendoza]

I don't know how much power you'll need for heavy VFX. I'd guess 128 GB RAM is more than enough. For basic FX and motion tracking, my set up works fine.

[@Wayne-sn6qy]

When I saw the Macbook in the theatre I thought you were controlling the lighting and sound for the show

[@JaredSpink]

The new laptop slaps.

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Hands down 👏🏼

[@alex.muntean]

Dope. Enjoy your new laptop! Quick question, if you are able to answer. I am curious as to how much you charged for those two events and deliverables. Thanks.

[@AlbertoMendoza]

First gig was about $1K for the 60 min dance recital. Second gig was my buddy so idk what that looked like.

[@Defying_Gravity]

Also just picked up the same laptop~! 😅

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Let’s go! How are you liking it?

[@Defying_Gravity]

@@AlbertoMendoza love it~! I upgraded from my 2017 MacBook Pro 13” and use it as my field supplement for my MacMini. I’m connected to my NAS and it’s running like butter in a lighting storm smooth~!

[@nikolayliubenko2287]

great video

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Thanks!
