4K Video Editing on a 12″ MacBook?

50 Comments

1. Are you willing to sell that 12 inch macbook?

2. Editing a video in Premier PRO on a cheap budget laptop…….. upgrade the ram if possible and edit the video at the lowest quality and after done with editing export the file as 4K quality…….. (And make sure you have spare your time on rendering your file……..) and actually u don’t have to really choose the lowest resolution on editing…….. just choose the one that works the best cuz it is just editing……. if you are not a professional

3. Expect nothing from Adobe. Big company like Adobe have slower progression. They don’t care about optimization. Plus, their subscription sucks. Remember Fireworks? Failed.

4. LETS GET IT ON!!!!

   🤛

5. Final Cut is some damn fine software

6. Jhonathan shout it out

7. And here i am wanting imovie more than final cut pro….🙈🙈🙈

8. What about Premiere Pro???

9. Would it be worth it if I forked over another 90 for the core i5 for school, minor video editing, etc?

10. Optimization is the future my Macbook Air can edit 4K Video..!!!!!

11. yea but can it run crisis

12. and they still didn’t accept the challenge till today.
    xD
    and from the time of the vide, till this year which they’re (2) I moved from windows to mac and being an apple product user.
    but still, (using adobe products on mac though), but… that might change in the near future as well.

13. Johnathan that was absolutely fuckin awesome

14. Yeah that’s all right for final cut pro x and a macbook, TO keep in mind this an apple machine running an apple software! Try rendering or exporting the video on Adobe Premiere Pro CC on a macbook and post a video if you are bold enough!

15. so basically adobe is trolling with their users …while apple is being true to their word ..
    windows is fine …adobe sucks …use a premiere in mac and you will know what i’am saying..

16. Northeast attraction mall producer answer discuss forty who exactly.

17. I used to be a fan of Linus. But I found out that he is biased for the Microshit.

18. its capable, thanks for sticking to the facts

19. I think I might start a YouTube channel now

20. still waiting on that linus 36 core server vs macbook pro video rendering battle

21. I can’t stop watching this

22. This test was unfair because you used final cut pro you should have used adobe premiere like linus did and then tested it.
    WRONG WAY OF TESTING JONATHAN.

23. i guess he never took you up on that challenge.

24. But what about with premiere on the macbook?

25. Final cut is awesome but i love premiere more!

26. I run my entire youtube channel on a 12 inch MacBook I edit in Final Cut Pro in 4k and then export in 1440p. If I was a Windows user running Adobe premier, I would need to drop a few grand on a workstation grade desktop (which wouldn’t even allow me to play games, which is what I would want to do on PC) to get the same results. So glad that Final Cut is so well optimized so that I am able to fulfill my dream of making high resolution youtube videos using only the $600 laptop I purchased for school.

27. People are so mad that a Mac can be as good or even better than a pc with better specs, wow.

28. Challenging on Linus!!!
    Linus is the best PC hardware reviewer. It’s a bad idea to challenge him. Honestly, he knows technical stuffs more than any YouTube celebrity.

29. If I am correct the raw footage they use is red 8k, so this test would be flawed.

30. Why not try the same with adobe premier ?

31. You can edit 4k video on an ultra portable laptop as long it’s not a MacBook.

32. Linus will use a toaster and still win.

33. That strange!! cause my Macbook Pro 15inch 2014 with i7/256GB SSD/ intel iris pro 1500/ 16GB ram did bad. A simple footage of 3840×2160/ 30sec long/ 30fps/ had dropping frame, crashing FCPX. Export did about 3min and the fans of my macbook pro went thure the roof. 100% rpm, every loud. all this signs where to much for me. I have build a PC and now i add 4k (4096×2160) on eazy 30sec footage will be export in 30 sec.

34. Ha, windows fans

35. WHOA WHOA…

36. Do the challenge

37. Funny thing indeed. As for the video, I expected that since FCPX renders on the background. As for both the hackintosh and haters, you both need to do your research. FCPX works wonders when you pair it with an AMD graphics card, since that’s what iMacs and MacBooks use. NVIDIA although still makes drivers for GPU’s in macOS, they aren’t as good or tested against, neither FCPX chooses it.

38. Linus will end up custom building a laptop to compete.

39. Let the hate come in…

    U owned them😂

40. Still here on movie maker.

41. This test would be interesting to see if 8K Raw would be used now. 😀

42. What speakers do you have on your desk?

43. Is this video serius? I saw more videos of this mac where they say its crap for editing videos…

44. I’m dead impressed with the MacBook. I thought you needed at least a MacBook Pro to edit.

45. i’m using both Final Cut and Premiere Pro CC

46. I was looking for same question but for samsung book 12. So this question is 4K Video Editing on a 12" Samsung book? Any idea?

47. He did on premiere

48. Did Linus ever respond to this?

49. my 1080p screen works really well with 4k
    so weird

50. Your voice is very comfortable to listen to.
