#DAVINCI RESOLVE M1 MACBOOK PRO UPDATE#

Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 17.4.4 update adds The peak to the left represents faster encoding, the smaller hills to the right, higher quality.

Encoding HEVC Main 10 in Compressor at Slower (higher quality) reduces memory pressure. Encoding in higher quality also appreciably reduces memory pressure. One caveat, though: Compressor is very demanding on memory, so it is advisable to close out all other applications while rendering. The five stacked ProRes 4444 clips with noise reduction played back in real time in Final Cut Pro while in Resolve, the timeline came to a complete standstill. Encoding at higher quality increased that time to 1:59. to render in DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.4.4 took a mere 32 seconds to complete in Apple Compressor. Pretty impressive, right? It is until you consider that the same clip that required 3 min. Our math is pretty execrable, but it appears as though the update increases efficiency by as much as 25 – 30%. Using the Option key, we created five stacked clips, after which we added a small amount of noise reduction. In order to determine exactly how much of an improvement the update brings, we imported a ProRes 4444 file and dragged it onto the timeline of Resolve. Note: all tests were performed with HEVC 4:2:0 10-bit even after the update.ĭaVinci Resolve Studio 17.4.4 brings many enhancements, chief among them being support for encoding H.265 Main 10 on Apple Silicon, the codec used to upload HDR video to YouTube and the most demanding operation on our M1 Max MacBook Pro with 32GB RAM.

Apple still destroys Blackmagic in playback speeds and render times. DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 update adds support for HEVC Main 4:2:2 10-bit on Apple Silicon. Closing out Final Cut Pro and other apps and selecting Slower (higher quality) in Apple Compressor substantially reduces memory pressure, but we recommend 64GB RAM nonetheless. We haven’t even tested with 6K or 8K footage, non-Apple codecs, other power hungry apps open, third-party plugins apart from Dehancer, high frame rates, grading, power windows, transitions, titles, or tracking yet. Now my only question is, which configuration should I get? I do all my editing off an external SSD and won’t be installing that much on the MacBook other than logic, davinci and a few other apps, but what about RAM? It seems to drive the price up very rapidly which kind of ruins the value proposition but I also don’t want to end up with a device that won’t be able to keep up in a year either.Memory pressure, DaVinci Resolve 17.4, Dehancer Pro v.5.2.0 dramatic improvement.

#DAVINCI RESOLVE M1 MACBOOK PRO PORTABLE#

I am extremely intrigued by the new MacBook Air with the M1 chip, it seems to me like it could provide me with the best of both worlds, as I don’t need my portable to be the fastest most powerful device I own, but it seems it would be more than enough for what I need it for. However, I want a device to a) be able to take with me to shoots b)do quick simple edits on to show a client what we will be doing for example c)just everyday here and there office use, entertainment consumption etc.

#DAVINCI RESOLVE M1 MACBOOK PRO WINDOWS#

I do most of my editing on a beast of a windows desktop in Davinci Resolve. So, I’ve been using an iPad Pro (2018) since early 2020, but the dream of it actually becoming a laptop replacement never materialised, I am a musician and video editor and it simply lacks the “pro” applications that I need to use for clients.
