- The Base model M1Pro 14" MacBook Pro is a sleeper computer and I think for a large majority of creators and editors Its all you will ever need. That said if you do need the extra performance then you know what you have to buy.
This is the 14" MacBook Pro I have: bhpho.to/3vLNvMU

This Macbook is currently on a huge sale at BestBuy for $1599: geni.us/WRukaWv
Would this base model be good for the casual video editor that makes maybe 3/4 10 minute videos a month? Also my footage will be coming from my GoPro10 & drone. Not alot of hardcore editing, just working on 1 project at a time and usually deleting after complete for my channel. Thanks!
sadly only in the US...and also only the 512gb version...1tb version still higher....
i would order over a friend the 512gb version, but i am scared as f. that i will regrett the decission, because 1tb already is so little storage....(i know external ssd etc. but anyways not so comfy)
Bought mine for $1400 open box at BB. Loving it!
Finally someone is proving what I’ve always wanted to hear. The base model is more than enough for 98% people out there. Thank you brother and keep up your good work!
Let me take it further a notch, the previous generation 13 inch m1 mbp is more than enough for 90% people out there and its not even a joke. Why the fuck is there a 500$ diff
@@charbel6649 maybe cuz it has a mini led and pro motion the same tech in there 5 thousand dollar display. Dummy
@@calabriamia6307 The idea is that people are buying these laptops based on a UA-camr's recommendation. News flash not everyone will need the capabilities they are using.
I too feel the same. However I have one question apart from video editing is it feasible to buy this for office professionals and daily life?
@@DwaipayanRC More than enough for your daily tasks!
This is probably the first video I saw about the base model. Everyone else was doing the maxed out configuration and the base model did pretty much as I expected. It was more than very good. My M1 MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM is very good. And this was more 🙂
Love that you are keeping it real and not just trying to advocate for people going all out on top specs when they realistically don't need it. I'm on last year's mini and it has been fine for me in editing my videos(which are 8-bit). It's my first time using a Mac and it has been the perfect intro to the ecosystem. I don't feel like I needed anymore power than what I got
It’s been 2 weeks now and I just uploaded a more in-depth review on this 14” MacBook Pro ua-cam.com/video/ow0mojDbiOQ/v-deo.html
I wish it has a type A port
Does the premiere pro software comes install on the computer already or you to install on the computer?
i'm on the base model right now coming from early 2015 13' macbook pro. brother. when i tell you this is NEXT Level upgrade. incredible. so happy with my buy. literally smashes everything i throw at it - music production, video editing, light gaming (i have consoles anyway), everything. never lags never hiccups. perfectly and exactly smooth.
The honesty here is fresh. Thanks for a great review!
I love the detail you go into, I love your channel, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for showcasing how powerful this base model actually is! I am very much between the base 16" and base 14" due to the display size. obviously with the 16" you get the unbinned M1 Pro which is a great option to go for as well. though the price jump is significant. After this video i'm more than ever convinced the base 14" is sufficient for my needs which are mainly photo editing anyways.
Note : When you stack footage test
You have to lower the opacity of each layer to different values.
Great review though
Thank you so much
This helps a lot mate. I just bought the 14 1TB M1 Pro and I was worried about Premier Pro lagging issues. You made me happy. Thanks brother I will subscribe
Great video, just what I was looking for.
That 14" rocks, but the 16" base model also looks good for the money.
got mine today and wow, i'm actually super impressed with this beast!
Love that sensual unboxing in the end. Also thanks for the realistic review for video editors on the base model.
Great Video Lee! So impressive what the base model can do!
5:00 When you stack video layers like that, you are not really stressing the system unless you do some kind of effects (picture-in picture, tiles) that require playing back all those layers at the same time.
⬆This
Yeah it seems like most of these UA-camr don't understand that. They never seem to show a true multicam sequence playing more than one angle at once, something I commonly do. I'd love to see 4 angles of 10bit 4k video being played back on this thing.
@@kprox1994 When you wanna be an apple fanboy and hopping to get free stuff from apple in the future you'll say anithing good about them. I still beleive that PC's are more powerfull if you know how to build a good config. That's why most of the 3D animations are still made and will still be made with PCs. I'm not hating I'n just realistic about it.
I found a YTer that did it right. He had 4x 4K fpv drone footage stacked and put in a 2x2 tile layout in the screen and scrubbed through them all on the baseline 14in mbp. It actually went through pretty good. It lagged a little bit but when compared to his desktop is was the same as running 1x of the same footage, on a pc that had 64gb ram and a 3070
So essentially the engineering of the M1 chips is 4x better than the disconnected nature of intel.
@@crusader2603 erwin marionneaux xD i just came from that video. Hahaha
Finally a real-world video editing test for the base model. If it can run premiere this good, it will run resolve/fcp even better so it was a good decision to test with it.
Awesome, very surprised what the base model can do. You just saved me a lot of money, thanks! 🙌
Great honest content! Usually it takes several videos, but this video alone earned a subscription.
Great video! Would love to see how the export times are compared to the old one 🙌🏻
Yes.. finally someone using resolve in an edit test on the 14' m1 pro👍🏾👍🏾 Thanks sharing. Huge help!
Thanks for the video Lee! You and Patrick, are always entertaining and helpful.
Patrick is a beast. I couldn’t get my video out as fast as him
@@LeeZavitz Night owls, keep it up!
This video makes me so happy with my purchase!! thanks for the helpful info!! People be over buying!!!
Pretty much what I needed before buying the right MacBook Pro. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Stoked on this purchase
best review I've seen on the base model
This one spoke to me personally. Im collecting mine this weekend, and I've been extremely worried that this machine wouldn't be a good enough/enjoyable video editing timeline experience. Im hoping to improve my skills, with a virtually flawless experience using basic 4k footage. This has helped me feel a bit better. Thank you
Good luck!
@@GoldGiggler thank you so much! I got a message that mine was available to collect early! So I picked it up yesterday, and on initial impressions I’m actually blown away. I will continue to test it and see how much it can take, but so far it’s performed really well 🤯
you'd even be fine on the M1 Air. I mean... it depends how valuable those little micro seconds are to you i guess... I'll happily make a coffee during render... 5 mins? 10 mins? whatever. People edited amazing films on "super" computers 10 years ago that were about 1/4 the power.
@@halfalligator6518 love this comment ^
The performance jump on Premiere Pro v22.0 on Apple silicon is awesome, especially for export times with optimised codecs.
Loved the video and info. I work with ProRes and XAVC codecs mostly and just bought the 16" MacBook Pro M! Max,64 GB memory with 32GPU 10 cord CPU. Wish I saw this video a bit earlier, but I am sure after watching your review that I am going to be very happy. Thank you for making this presentation. 3 thumbs up! Now a subscriber.
Appreciated you getting straight to the point- few people give a shit about unboxings anymore. And that 10:03 snuck up on me with that baby making music 😆 - you killed it!
thank you for this. you helped to put us in check. :) got mine today. base model
Great review Lee! M getting my base model mbp 14 inch next week🤟🏻🤟🏻
Great info. Upgrading my 2015 13’ MacBook soon and trying to avoid over kill $$
That notch disappears with a black menu bar. Very nice.
100% this is more than most ppl need. Super happy with my Air M1 so far for my photos and seldom 1080 video editing.
Dudeeee this is smooth! Love the info and the quality of your vid! Thanks for share
Would've loved to see a full 6k running through the built-in Red Raw suite within Resolve but that's still super insane, especially on that tiny little laptop!
Thank you for this video. I want a bigger screen and will get the base model 16" with a bigger hard drive. You just saved me a bunch of money.
Have you noticed any really long render times on the M1 Pro? I'm getting good timeline performance but exports are longer than usual.
I have the 15” 2015 MBP and I love it! Sometimes I find myself wishing for a bigger screen so I don’t think I would go for anything else other than the 16” when I upgrade it maybe in 2-3 years.
I'm in the same boat as you. I'm still editing on a 2015 MBP. I'm planning to get the 16" as well.
That 2015 15" was the last good computer Apple released until 2020. The touchbar 15" models were a travesty. I made the mistake of buying the 2017 model which I regard as the worst hardware investment I've ever made.
Thanks for this. This is the computer I’m getting
Great video. To the point, no bs, and making something that is useful for the 98%. I purchased mine after watching this. Thanks for helping me save $
nice vid man, im convinced i dont need to spec out my mac. the base looks good for my needs and not that much different than the 10cores from the test ives seen. i dont care about 5 seconds more of export times tbh. thanks man
Thanks for this video! Can you tell me what is the brand of your external screen please?
Wow that’s crazy… did it get hot? Old macbook pro was impossible to use on a flight as it gets too hot
Fans never come on, the only time I heard them when I exported that music video to see how long it would take. Around 80% through the export I heard the fans come on. And they weren’t boosting. Like maybe 50% fans
@@LeeZavitz I will be getting the 16'inc. So I guess m1pro should be enough right?
@@ishratrhidita9393 yup
Since M1 that's not a problem
Thanks for your video! Just wondering did you feel 14 inch screen is not big enough for Pr (timeline)and Lr(adjustment area), and need to move the slide bars most of the time? I think the 16 inch could be much better but pretty heavy. Thanks!
Excellent video, top marks!
Thanks for talking about the specs that matter! 🤙
I totally dig the vibe of your video, man. First time on your channel. But you definitely prove to me that you don’t have to be hyped up on Red Bulls to be a UA-camr 😆. I’m much like you on energy level and this is inspiring in some way 🙂.
true, I'm in love with mine!
Great video man!
Subscribed man! Thanks for the video.
Gaming decently on mac while having a professional use-case machine could be of value for some users. However, based on what I've seen, wouldn't call M1 Max a gaming machine but pretty close.
I love this review. It's sensible and and realistic.
very helpful video - thank you!
Hi, I am watching this just after your M1 Mac Mini. What do you think about the difference in video editing? Who should consider this over M1 Mac Mini if portability and screen is not an issue.
Great review! Thanks!
Thanks great job my friend...I will get one base model..
Still using the MBP 13' 2012.. And you need (for stills!).
Hi Lee, thanks for the video. Enjoyed watching it and it made my decision a little easier to say the least.
I was wondering however what monitor you're using and what it is you're using it to attach it to your desk.
I need one of those, so if you could share, that would be awesome! You can even send me an Amazon link.
8 bit footage is quite easy for most computers these days. I went with the 16” M1 Max 32core 64GB 1TB because I edit mostly 6K 10bit or ProRes RAW. I want this machine to last at least a few years and as cameras become more capable I want to be able to keep up. 4K is quickly becoming the new 1080p. With that said the 14” will work for a lot of people. Thanks for the review man!
Good call. If I had the money I would go for the top gpu
agreed. just a little future proofing
@@boostftw123 I don’t like the term “future proof” because you can get the base model now and save so much money. The base model is plenty of power and next year or the year after apple will have better more powerful chips that you can upgrade to
I have a 2015 15" Mabook Pro with battery swell. It's knackered. I originally didn't want to buy the new base model because I was concerned it wouldn't be good enough, seeing most UA-camrs buying higher end models etc. Which I can't really afford right now. But this still looks like a decent option.
*We will see these exact same m1 pro and max chips in the upcoming 27inch imac replacement. I don't think we will see an m1 max with even higher gpu cores like 64 cores on the iMac. Max configuration will still be the same 10 core CPU and 32 core gpu.*
I literally have that same background wallpaper (the one on your computer in the background at the beginning) on my desktop lol. Great vid. thanks.
Very interesting!! I have a M1 Mac mini now. I want to go with one of these and use my 32inch 4k screen when I need. I'm guessing 16GB ram is all I need, is it worth the 32GB upgrade?I have had no problems with the mini with 16GB. I also shoot with a canon R5. Awesome vid! Do you use this bin clam shell mode?
Binging through all macbook pro 14" videos on UA-cam, waiting for mine to arrive.
Totally agree. Add the faster charger and done
I went to Costco today intending to get the new air, I ended up finding out the pro was on sale for 400$ more so I bought that 😂 I’ve been giddy alllllll day
What would you recommend for a full blown colour grading project? Is the base model enough to handle a heavy colour grade?
The 512GB on base model $1999 was the week point for me. I wanted a 1TB. I might be wrong but the 1TB gives you faster transfer speed then the 512GB. So when you go to 1TB it’s now $2499 base M1 Pro with 16GB. At that point I was only $500 away from just getting the M1 MaX with 32GB and 1TB with the 96W charger. So I went middle of the road not base but not crazy high end. It’s hard find reviews on the middle of the road 14”. 14” I went with portable. I travel all time, and my 2016 15” was just pain. Mine arrives Friday, so will see. If not big change I’ll return it for base model and go with external drives. I waited 5 years for this laptop tho.
I really, really, liked your video. And it was the definitive answer I needed to buy one for me. I also work with Premiere as a professional video editor, and I just wanna know how it handles working with ESSENTIAL GRAPHICS? Can you PLEASE answer this? Thanks a lot.
Thank you, that tells me I can get the low end 14 and a monitor, and a SSD drive ( storage think 500gb do fine, always has 1tb) take steps at a time as I am researching, means if I want FCP I have to add funds or use resolve and relearn it
I thought I'd come back & thank you as I just bought a base M1 14" MacBook Pro in July 2023 & boy does this MacBook deliver & I got my M1mac book at a great price 25% cheaper than the M2 . I watched your vid a while back & was a help in me deciding I didn't need a M2 Mac at 2099 & if I could find a new M1 that would be a winner for me . Anyone out there if you can find a New M1 MacBook , I'd highly recommend one over the M2.
Great video! Picked up the base 14 myself. What external keyboard, mouse and monitor do you use?
dope video. picking one up today. my 16" 2020 was struggling with canon r6 4K footage so im glad to hear this upgrade will help a lot
Yes!!!
What’s the full specs you got ? Ram ssd processor size
@@GurmeetSingh-fr8uo I got the Base Model 14" MacBook Pro. my bad the 16" MacBook I had was the 2019 version with the intel processor. My 14" destroys the 16' MBPro I had in every way. best investment I've made this year hands down
is all you need, unless you want a bigger screen. Then that bigger screen comes with an extra 4 hrs of battery and going for the bigger screen also bumps up the cores :) so I agree the 14 is all you need but if you want a bigger screen that 400 extra includes a lot of extras. However I agree the max chip is over kill for a generic user
I wish Apple would come out with a 16" but without all the bells and whistles that bump the price way up. I just need the basics of a MacBook pro but I need a 16" screen! Ugh.
Great review. I would love to see how this machine handles After Effects. Haven’t come across anyone testing it yet.
It blows my mind to see absolutely no videos that showcase after effects, still hardly anything for the M1 13”
@@slutbunwallah well, if it can handle 3D heavy stuff I think it can handle after effects.
Thank you Lee
thank you. well balanced and logical review
Grabbed the 14" maxed out MBP w/ 2TB of SSD storage it's blowing my mind
This video really helped me decide what to buy for a laptop upgrade. Thanks for this Lee. New sub here
👍🏼
Great video, thanks. 👍
Thanks for the video. Are you editing on the external SSD or copying footage to the Macbook? The reason I am asking is the price difference between the 1+ Tb Macbook SSD and the external one.
Awesome. Just as I thought. Great video
Thank You Buddy, was looking for video something like this, you showed what is most important. Subscribed ;-)
Clear review thanks.
Great Video 🙌
Great video. Just what I needed to hear. I have a question will you be testing the new Tamron 35-150 f2 lens for Sony?
100% I’ve already shot with it and it’s amazing
Thanks for fast premiere pro reviev!
Great video! Also what monitor are you using ?
I edit using my iMac 2017... PP and FCPX both work with no issues. I shoot in 1080p and 4K. That been said it's very tempting to get the 14" new MacBook Pro...Not sure if I'm going to do it...good video.
Wathicng this from 14" Base Model. Totally agree this model is more than enough for most.
One app I am using - where I need multiple windows.
On my previous MBP 13" 2019 model - I could open 20 instances, fans - screaming, system - lagging - it was maximum.
On 14" model - I can open 250 insntances of the app and still have ±19% free resources. Fans - are not even on at this point, no heating whatsoever. This is huge for me. It outpeforms PC desktop bought for the same task a months ago with similar price tag twice!
awesome vid man. subcribed!
As cool as all this is, and absolutely a must-have for those that need it, I've been doing professional editing on my regular M1 MPB for months now and it's never given me a problem. The company I work for uses a combination of C100 MkIIs and GH5s, so the footage is pretty damn easy to work with, even in Premiere (now that its been much better optimized for Apple silicon). I'm gonna be hanging onto this machine until we upgrade our cameras, though I'll admit videos like this make me hope we upgrade sooner than later so I can play with the new toys
Do you have the 8gb or 16gb? on the m1 you have?
@@VinceVintage I saw a bunch of videos similar to this one saying to get the base, and that's what I did, so I only have the 8gb model. So far it's only been a problem in two scenarios: if I'm using too many heavy duty plugins in Logic (specifically Bias FX 2, nothing else really), I'll get memory overloads. No real way around that one. The other is if I'm editing in Premiere for more than 2-3 hours the memory tends to fill up and make playback choppy, but literally all I have to do to fix that is restart premiere and I've got another 2-3 hours of smooth playback. Ultimately, if I had to re-buy, I'd pony up for the 16gb of RAM and 1tb of storage, but right now I've got 8gb/512gb and it still blows every other computer in the price range out of the water 99% of the time.
@@spitperson69 awesome! Thank you getting back to me!
I use After effects every now and then for my videos, so I’ll get the 16gb!
@@spitperson69 Hi. Do u think 16gb ram (MBP14 base model) would be "future proof" enough if I use it for 5-6 yrs? I'm not a professional editor like u. just love to learn editing and making youtube videos in my "free time" (definitely not 8K 6K or so 😂). hence I know 16gb ram is enough for today, but not too sure about the next 5-6 yrs.
@@leenim i don’t have the 14” M1 Pro, just the 13” M1, so I can really only speak to that. As for future-proofing, it really just depends. What resolution are you working with? What codec? How deep are you editing? 6K is primarily available in cine cameras right now, but 6 years from now 6k or even 8k may be the new standard. If you’re gonna be adding motion graphics or heavy denoising, that’s gonna need extra RAM. If you’re working with RAW formats or, for example, Sony HEVC footage, that’s typically harder to decompress and RAM can help with that. The number of factors that can impact the amount of memory you need are plenty.
All I can say is I regularly edit 3-6 concurrent streams of mixed FHD/4K video, with optical flow time remapping, and pretty heavy grades on my 8gb with next to no issues. 16gb would obviously make that even easier. I’m also, however, typically working with pretty light (and big) codecs, I rarely use a denoiser, and the company I work for has a dedicated motion graphics artist so I don’t have to worry about anything too complicated in that department.
Based on my experience with the M1, I imagine that 16gb plus the improved memory bandwidth and dedicated video decoders in the M1 Pro will be far more than you need to meet the needs you have for a typical youtube video. As for the next 5-6 years though? I just don’t know what’s gonna happen. Is 8K gonna be the new 4K? Will motion graphics become more popular? Will new, RAM heavy, digital stabilization methods become available? If I knew I’d be making a lot more money working for Sony or Canon right now. If I were trying to make the computer last that long I’d spring for the 32gb version if not the 64gb. But I typically upgrade every 2-3 years, which is a lot easier to plan for.
The final thing I’d say is that Apple has a great buyback/upgrade program. When I was still considering these new models I found I could still get more than $900 trade-in for my $1200 computer. If you commit to Apple and take care of your stuff, upgrading sooner can be a fair bit easier. but that’s all up to you.
I have the 14" M1 Pro with the 16gb 10-10-16 one and I have photoshop/lightroom and FCP runs like a champ.
Love to see a Multicam clip with mixed cameras, iPhone, etc.
Great video
Looks nice. I have my 2019 16inch 16 gig i7 with the old intel chip and it works very good for the things that I do
Such a good video. I’ve lost sleep because of the situation I feel a decent amount of us are in. I do edit and grade 6k raw sometimes but most of the time it’s slogiii footage and 6/10 times it’s delivering to clients for web and 4k. I think where I stubbed my toe in all of this is leaving mac for so long building what I thought was a wild pc not realizing that Apple had stepped it up since 2012 and thinking I NEED fully specd. That being said as things grow I will want the wiggle room. So decided to go the max 16in base,32 core 32 ram. No such thing as future proof but that thing will last me a longggg time. The display is wild and can’t resist it lol
I just bought this MacBook M1 pro. I went 16inch base model for the bigger screen. Next step, divinchi resolve. I have to learn Mac now cause I've never owned or used one before and also divinchi resolve. I'm used to PC and Premier pro 😥 Thanks for making this video, it helped me see that the base model is all I needed for my Canon R5 footage 😎👍
I would like to see 14" M1 PRO for Heavy Davinci Resolve 4k 10 bit footage Editing with alot of effects, fusion composition, masking , tracking and more.
Same, those fusion effects really kill export time
