This is great! This is what i want to see. Not 20 minutes of benchmark tests like most YouTubers.

This was a really informative video! The Lexar SL600 SSD I didn't know existed, affordable SSD. That's really cool that you have a photo & video business for real estate. I've subscribed and I'm ready to enjoy more of your content! Thank you!

Man I just bought one I received it yesterday, you made me more hype for it now 🙌 can’t wait to install and get editing!

[KnightmareOX]

Nice man! I bought the same thing last September but upgraded the ram to 32gb which really helps when working with fusion comps and fusion based plugins. It was a huge difference from my M1 Mac mini in regards to video editing.

My word only took me 2.5 hours just to find this perfect explanation and break down thank you so much.

So with the 8k file were you using 16g ram on your computer

Great review I just got the m2 pro base model and runs very smooth. Waiting on FCPX code to come in so I can start editing in 4K as well. Unfortunately adobe software is known to be a memory hog and regardless how much memory you have it’ll still lag which is very annoying.

Thanks! Debating between this and a used Mac Studio once the M4 versions are out, maybe pushing a bit beyond edit to also do some gaming stuff

[thehourshow]

im working with the Blackmagic 6k to make sure, im good with my video projects, im going for this computer but will upgrade to 32 ram that way I know I can edit 6k for sure thank you for your video

[danielgallardo]

hi! How does it work in after effects?

[antonisdavis]

hallo! what about 16ram, is it enough for using only fcpx or premiere?

[thejsrstudio]

Hello brother, which LG screen are you using?

[estrellas]

Great review! Really like your style. You deserve way more subs

[kirilbachvarov]

migrate to DaVinci, everything will be even faster.

This little machine is really great - I did a test with hi-res MRI pics (bigger then 8K RAW) and it works fine - a windows machine has toruble and the small M1, too - Ok for fairness - this kind of images are generaly process on a special kind of machine (PACS machines) like high-performence server - so that is impressive what this little machine can.

Ok single user and no multiuser access like in an hospital - may then this Mac Mini died^^.

I was looking for the Mac Mini M2 Pro 1 year update from other youtubers and your video came up first. lol. I'm in the creative industries as well and looking for an upgrade from my old M1 Macbook Air.

Andrei yas photo guys with some video then dump subscription picture and works with your video daws called Pixelmator Pro because it can color videos just like a picture coloring!
