#4K VIDEO EDITING ON MACBOOK PRO MAC#

I haven't owned a Mac product, but one of my friends is a DJ, he used to use windows-based equipment, but wasn't happy with the stability and shared with me, that when he switched to MBP he could play sets all night without a hickup. I'd say windows based PC, mainly due to raw horsepower you are going to need.

Specifically 1080p video editing has been around for years, so OP would have no problem feeling snappy & decently fast with a laptop containing an 8 thread i7 + dedicated at least mid range nvidia gpu before opencl acceleration, before quad core, what were professionals using?

My point is a good laptop isnt crap & tons of adobe CS or 3ds max or UDK users are on regular mainstream parts instead of 6core xeonsДЄs you go back in time.

my i7-2670QM has 8 threads, so it can render faster than my 3.6ghz overclocked q9550 4thread desktop cpu.

my 570m gpu built in 2011 is slightly faster than a 5770 desktop card from 2009, plenty of video editors & schools would be on 5770s or even worse cards since video editing isnt crysis.

but forget about all that, 8970m is a rebrand, we all know mobile amd sucks) OP, what are you currently using to do your videos? we can extrapolate a comparisonД«ecause every desktop had a $400 5870 in it? no need to cherry pick like that, i'm not saying desktops suck & laptops rule (you also compared the wrong gpu, you want 8970m with 1280, not that performance linearly scales when they have the same TMUs, ROPs, & CUs. So my vote is certainly for an MSI or equivalent, the MBP is just not valuable at all to me other than its exterior design, retina, & the various perks of OSX (terminal, perl, ruby, various web dev tools) i run cinema 4d, after effects, battlefield 3, no problem. I have an MSI 'gaming' laptop, i7-2670QM + gtx 570m + 8gb ddr3 + 750gb ST9750420AS, it's 1080p but that only matters if you're using it without a monitor, it's quiet, it's sturdy, it has an eSATA port & usb3. like OP said, 1080p, that's not really that demandingД¬onsider this, a bluray video stream would be ~25mbit on the disc, that's barely over 3MBytes/s! Super PI 32m: 6m 42s 472ms people still think laptops arent suited? desktops a few years ago ran slower than these modern 'gaming' laptopsДЄll you need is cpu performance for rendering/encoding/processing, lots of ram for after effects, dedicated gpu for certain acceleration & general snappiness, hard drive.

With all that said, you might want to hold off until the new ARM-based Macs are released.

The iMac is a carryover from the early 2019 model, and as such uses old-generation GPUs and last-generation CPUs.

Your best bet is to transcode these files using a third-party program to another, less-compressed, CFR file format.ДЄs for the hardware upgrade, right now the only feasible upgrade without having to spend potentially tens of thousands of dollars (Mac-wise) would be a 16' MBP. No wonder why these smartphone video formats are so tough to handle, even on a monster PC. Support for more-consumer highly-compressed files have been rather reluctantly added on over the years that these programs have been on the market.

Premiere Pro (and most other professional-level NLE programs as well) choke on such footage because these programs were originally designed for super-expensive, super-large, low-compression files that use CFR (Constant Frame Rate) from super-large studio cameras.

Not only is such footage HEVC, it is also VFR (Variable Frame Rate).

HEVC is much more CPU-hungry than AVC to decode. Here's the major problem when dealing with iPhone XS footage:
