fair bit more \u201cmalleable\u201d than one would expect.<\/p>\n<p>Its requirements and demands vary <em>wildly<\/em> depending on what kind of resolution and codec one is working with, alongside <em>other<\/em> goals and preferences like timeline performance, amount of effects applied, and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>There are <em>levels<\/em> to video editing as it is a task or job that can be done by a student, a hobbyist, but also a creative professional whose livelihood depends on the speed at which something can be cut and rendered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The complexity of our projects varies greatly, and so do our needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Someone is okay with dealing with proxies, others don\u2019t even want to entertain the idea. Some only do a slight, somewhat rudimentary color correction, whereas others create more nodes and layers than they can count, all in an attempt to dial in everything to their liking.<\/p>\n<p>Video editing on a full-fledged desktop PC is a somewhat straightforward endeavor. Building a computer with that use-case in mind is <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/how-to-choose-a-cpu-for-video-editing\/\">pretty simple<\/a>, regardless of which NLE you might prefer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buying a <em>laptop<\/em> for video editing, however, is a gargantuan challenge as they\u2019re all so different in regards to their specifications and, by proxy, ability to get the job done.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some laptops will chew through your projects as if they were nothing \u2014 but they\u2019ll also cost an arm and a leg and will, potentially, sound like a jet engine when pushed to their limits. Others <em>will<\/em> execute tasks and commands but at a much slower pace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Windows side of the market is as diverse as it is <em>confusing<\/em>.<\/strong> There are simply <em>way<\/em> too many models out there, each of which with its own unique pros and cons, power limits, thermal limitations, differing cooling assemblies, and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24534\" src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro.jpg\" alt=\"Windows vs Macbook Premier Pro\" width=\"1965\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro.jpg 1965w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-1024x417.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-768x313.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-1536x625.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1965px) 100vw, 1965px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24534 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201965%20800%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Windows vs Macbook Premier Pro\" width=\"1965\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201965%20800%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1965w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1965px) 100vw, 1965px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro.jpg 1965w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-1024x417.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-768x313.jpg 768w, https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro-1536x625.jpg 1536w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/media\/2023\/11\/Windows-vs-Macbook-Premier-Pro.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s MacBooks, on the other hand, are much more <em>streamlined<\/em> in nature. There\u2019s only a bunch of them on the market and, for the most part, they\u2019re all neatly segregated and defined. <strong>Are they any good for video editing, though?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the purposes of this article, we\u2019ll focus primarily on the <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/m1-vs-m2-macbook\/\">M1 and M2 chipsets<\/a> \u2014 <strong>the ones found in Apple\u2019s most affordable MacBooks (the 13\u201d\/15\u201d Air and 13\u201d Pro, respectively). <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everything written down below will apply to the forthcoming M3 as well as any and all chipsets and SoCs that\u2019ll follow it.<\/p>\n<p>The Mac Mini can <em>also<\/em> be specced with these SoCs (and even the M2 Pro), so you can take our conclusions and apply them to that oh-so-alluring computer as well.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll actually perform a bit better due to it having active cooling, but the performance delta itself isn\u2019t particularly tremendous which, needless to say, speaks volumes about the MacBook Air \u2014 but more on that down below.<\/p>\n<p>Before we delve any deeper into the nitty-gritty, though, we first really ought to answer the opening question: <strong>are M1 and M2 MacBooks a good option for video editing and, if so, <em>why<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Apple_Silicon_MacBooks_Good_for_Video_Editing\"><\/span>Are Apple Silicon MacBooks Good for Video Editing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>They\u2019re not just <em>good<\/em> \u2014 they\u2019re <em>spectacular<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re so good at video editing it doesn\u2019t even <em>make sense<\/em>, and it\u2019s all because of them having a dedicated Media Engine for decoding and encoding purposes.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just the hardware advancements which Apple\u2019s own silicon brought to the table but also the <em>software-related<\/em> optimizations with which they coalesced.<\/p>\n<p>The moment Apple came out with the M1, everyone <em>immediately<\/em> recognized its immense potential, which is the primary reason why so many developers opted to board the \u201chype train\u201d \u2014 hence the staggeringly fast adoption rate.<\/p>\n<p>A high-end PC <em>will<\/em> beat these machines out when it comes to render times, but that isn\u2019t the <em>only<\/em> metric one needs to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Timeline performance, thermals, fan noise, and overall responsiveness all play a big part as well, even though <em>some<\/em> of those \u201celements\u201d can easily be chalked up to <em>personal preference<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re okay with ample fan noise, a higher power draw (and, by proxy, temperatures), and want the fastest render times possible, then a spec\u2019d-out PC (or laptop) <em>is<\/em> a very viable alternative \u2014 but the overall <em>experience<\/em> isn\u2019t going to be nearly as enjoyable, seamless, and above all <em>smooth<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The following YouTuber explains it well:<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ikHtRuXjEnI?si=PRBJAbjJpWTNhwah\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ikHtRuXjEnI?si=PRBJAbjJpWTNhwah\" class=\" lazyload\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just about render times but rather the <em>way<\/em> in which your machine performs while editing, and just how smooth an experience it offers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This, in short, is where Apple\u2019s <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/guide-apple-arm-architecture\/\"><strong>ARM-based<\/strong><\/a><strong> MacBooks <em>excel<\/em>.<\/strong> And they can deliver such a spectacular level of performance while drawing a meager amount of power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The point is: Apple\u2019s M1 and M2 SoCs are <em>astonishingly<\/em> good <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/laptop-average-battery-life\/\"><strong>and efficient<\/strong><\/a><strong>, and they can handle most resolutions and codecs as if it were the easiest thing in the world.<\/strong> That, given their petite enclosures and laughably small power draw makes it all feel like magic.<\/p>\n<p>With the M1 and M2 (to say nothing of the Pro, Max, and Ultra variants), proxies are a thing of the past. Playback is buttery smooth and so is timeline performance. You can make changes and edits on the fly without ever waiting for your Mac device to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>And, needless to say, there isn\u2019t a Windows laptop out there that can trade blows once we take <em>everything<\/em> into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/best-macbook-air-alternatives\/\"><em>many<\/em> models<\/a> that\u2019ll get the job done, but their power hungry components <em>will<\/em> run hotter, they <em>will<\/em> generate more noise, and they <em>won\u2019t<\/em> perform nearly as well when the laptop itself isn\u2019t tethered to a wall outlet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another thing worth pointing out is that basically each and every single tech influencer on YouTube made the switch to Apple Silicon the moment it came out.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re all editing videos <em>for a living<\/em> (videos of varying complexity, granted); once they realized just how fast and silent and efficient these MacBooks (and Mac devices in general) are, they made the choice to go with macOS \u2014 and none have regretted it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That alone speaks <em>volumes<\/em>.<\/strong> The fact that one can edit such a wide gamut of demanding codecs (HEVC included) without ever resorting to proxies \u2014 on a laptop that\u2019s thin and silent at all times \u2014 simply boggles the mind.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nQOyiL6G0vQ?si=uvHuzpWClp54cwih\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block;
