      I’m no expert, but for me (similar size to you) the low (5.5”) works best, but I put the pillow between my head and arm. The good news is you have 100 days to return it, so you can try one and change to a different one.

    That's a lot of weight to carry and hold even with a small lens. Have you considered something like the DJI Pocket 3 for vlogging? It can even track you if you move around since the camera is on a gimbal.

    Which mouse are you using with the Mac Mini? If it’s a Magic Mouse, you can enable Secondary Click in Settings so that tapping the right side of the mouse performs a right click.

    I use the Ultra Wide at the full 10K resolution. I have an app called rectangle where I have hot keys that set my windows to be increments of fourths of the screen. So I have my window set up to where my main window is 1/2 of the screen width but is in the middle, and then I have 1/4 of the screen on each side which I put ancillary items: like finder windows or other apps that work with the main program I’m working on. Sort of like you did. I found it very useful because I only look to my extreme left or right a couple of times. It would be nice if they could make a way for the main menu to be in the middle so I’m not always having to go all the way to the left when I have to go to the menu.

    I've been an Apple head since II. First got my hands on one around 1979. Bought iPod at launch, iPad at launch, Vision Pro at launch. There are many products I was well aware of, but didn't buy at launch. iPhone was one. I bought an iPod touch and then bought the second iteration of iPhone. Been in ever since. I guess I'm a fanboy, but it's rare I upgrade my iPhone each year. Maybe 50% of the time. I've got a 15 Pro now. Only reason I even bought that after my 14 Pro was specifically for spatial photos/video for AVP. I'm 100% sure I'm skipping this gen. Even possible I skip next gen. Increasingly, each year is a spec upgrade with little of significant consequence. I certainly won't be upgrading for Genmoji or Image Playground. And I've been using the latest betas on all my devices. "Smarter" Siri is not that smart. None of this is a knock against Apple. They make great products, but most of them are very usable for years.

    Hi, I have a question for you. I've been watching a lot of videos about the Mac Mini M4 Pro, and I think you might help me solve a doubt I have. I'm looking to buy the Mini M4 Pro with 64 GB of RAM, 1 TB of SSD, a 14-core CPU, a 20-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. The price is almost 3000 euros. Then I noticed that the Mac Studio M2 Max, with a 12-core CPU, a 30-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 64 GB of unified memory, and 1 TB of SSD, costs about the same. I work mainly with Adobe software (Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects), so now I have a dilemma about which one would be better to buy. I hope you can help me figure it out, haha! Thank you so much for the great content you make!

    • @DrWiggo

      Not an Adobe user myself, but I have seen several videos doing the head-to-head comparison between the M4 Minis and the M2 Studios, and as I recall the M2 Max was better for video. Performance in DaVinci Resolve for example scales linearly with number of GPU cores, so more GPU cores beats faster CPU cores. See if you can find one of those Mini/Studio videos. Don’t rely on me!

    • @serchx74
      @serchx74 Місяць тому

      @DrWiggo Thank you for your insights! It's interesting to hear that the M2 Max performs better for video, especially in applications like DaVinci Resolve. I’ll definitely look for more head-to-head comparisons between the M4 Mini and the M2 Studio. For now, I think I’ll wait for the Mac Studio M4 Max to see what it offers before making a decision. Your comment has been very helpful!.

    im torn in what to get next. debating in building a tower PC or m4 pro / max because only edit in resolve. a 45-50 minute sermon I edit takes 35 minutes to export in 4k (down sampling from 6.5K) and about 18 minutes for 1080p from same timelines. not sure if upgrading to a higher end pc would even reduce that time or if im delusional in thinking that footage can render in 5 minutes with the right machine?

    • @DrWiggo
      @DrWiggo Місяць тому

      5 minutes seems like a pipe dream (for now). But as you saw in this video, the M3 Max MBP was the fastest machine I have, so I’m thinking a M4 Max MBP would be your best bet of the current offerings.

    • @theodoregary3219
      @theodoregary3219 Місяць тому

      I think you should look at the hardware encoder limits to answer your question. In my M2 Mini Pro, have seen a steady 192 frames per second for hardware-accelerated render of 4k video into 1080p. I can't offhand recall the NVenc numbers from my RTX 3080 Ti, and I don't have any 6k camera material for testing your specific situation. But the upper limits of render speed are a matter of minimal color/effects, 1080p output, and whether you're doing H.264, or H.265. For example: 24fps input rendering at 192fps is 8x speed; so 50 minutes of content would take just over 6 minutes. *If* NVenc is capable of 300fps then that same 50 minute content would take 4 minutes to render. I'll do some testing later to compare, although this is the wrong place to find someone again and report results.

    Thx for this Great Video. Most of the other videos talk about other benchmarks & export time. But, mostly EDITING experience is NOT discussed . EDITING is the most crucial phase as it makes or breaks the overall experience. You nailed it. Question, did you try adding some noise reduction and other effects / adjustment layers and see if you get the same snappy experience ?

    • @DrWiggo

    I was waiting to hear what codec your video media pool contains. Explanation: I own a Win10 machine with a 5950X/3080Ti combo, and a base M2 Pro Mini. Media pools for both are on U.2 Thunderbolt 3 enclosures. I edit in DaVinci within the Mac Mini because its H.264 10-bit 422 (from Panasonic GH5s cameras) hardware decode allows far better agility on the Edit Page timeline compared to the Win10 machine. There is no Windows offering for that specific codec. You can watch the CPU in the Win10 machine struggle with the CPU decoding of timeline thumbnails, especially with a 5-camera multicam. However, the heavy lifting of Depth Map, Noise Reduction, Relight, all are overwhelming to the GPU capacity of the M2 Pro Mini. I suspect that the Windows Cut/Edit page performance issues you attribute to disk performance is actually a video decode performance difference between software/CPU being slower than hardware-ASIC decoding.

    • @DrWiggo

    TBH -- sounds like you should wait for M4 studio. ESPECIALLY since you want the resolve speed. I mean, Ur @ $2400 for the mini M4 pro. Assuming the M4 Studio has the same costs as the M2 Studio... a M2 Max Studio with 64/1TB is $2600. $200 more. But as you can see from your own M3 Max scores, (and others M4 MPB MAx speeds) all of those extra GPUs crush the mini scores. Saving you time. Of course, you gotta wait =) Maybe start putting $10 a week away... so by the time they are announced, you can sell your m4 mini and bump up to a m4 studio =)

    Great video as always. As an avid iPhone user since the 3GS I’m thinking it’s now time to switch from my 2018 HP laptop to a Mac Mini M4 Pro. I already use a separate monitor via HDMI and if I can confirm that all my external hard drives connected to my powered USB switch along with my keyboard & mouse will all play nice with the Mac Mini M4 Pro via USB - USB C adapter then it’s a go for the model that has 24 GB of ram and a 512GB or 1TB Hard drive.

      If you are getting by with a 2018 HP laptop and haven't outgrown it in the last 6 years... even the base M4 will spin circles around it. @$500 on sale right now its a steal (for a mac). Sure, less internal drive space, but you just have to be smart about how to set it all up. Great thing is, you could buy the base mini, try it... and even several months from now if you hate it... could easily sell it for the same $500 you paid for it. Keep the box. Everything you own now will plug in, but the drive formatting could be problematic, depending on how they are formatted. Technically OS X can read all the FATs (12, 16, 32) but the older versions of FAT were always finicky and corrupted easy. Just about any KB and mouse will work, wired, or BT, so could be a good time for new ones =) TBolt 5 drives are great and the speeds look impressive, but really only necessary for a few niche users, IMHO. and $$$. 4TB TB 5 drive costs $200 *more* than a base mini. You could easily get a 4Tb TBolt 4 drive for less than half -- which is still overkill. Assuming your external drives are HDDs, getting maybe 80-90 MB/s -- TBolt 4 drives are getting 3000 MB/s. Since the Dr is might transfer large video files often, sure, Tbolt 4 or even TB 5 drives make sense. But for day to day normal peeps... even TB 4 is overkill.

I have three external HDDs a 14TB, 12TB & 20TB along with a Blu-ray burner, Logitech keyboard & mouse all plugged into a powered TP Link USB hub. My laptop has a 1TB SSD internal drive that I installed two years ago when the mechanical one failed and I upgraded the ram to 24 gigs since I do some video editing and plex stuff myself hence the large external drives I have. I don’t do any gaming on computer and just game on consoles PS5 & Series X so I kinda thought that the base M4 Mini would be a huge upgrade but wasn’t sure. Worst case scenario if I can’t get my drives to work properly with a USB to C adapter going from switch to adapter I can leave the laptop on my desk to the side and just install the mini underneath my monitor with a HDMI cable and plug my edifier speakers into the headphone jack and get a new Bluetooth keyboard & mouse.
