I thought I was going to get what imac did for video editing. And does anyone. have a 32 gig Imac. Ive searched for videos but not one video is particularly on the 32 gig m4 imac and how it handles speeds of any thing. Most just give you a generic version where they are guessing. But I haven't seen anyone unbox it, go through it, and actually physically test it. Ive seen a lot of 16 gig test. But not 32, heck not even 24. Why is that?
Unglaublich das man mit so ein Misst Geld verdient. Haben die Menschen heute kein Hirn mehr um sich selbst darum zu kümmern.
Is the M4 (without Pro) in a Mac mini suitable for video editing? I mean… if we are talking about professional level
Very helpful video, but you didn't mention RAM upgrades. Do you recommend 32 MB unified memory for video editing?
But if you are into music production and editing? Usually requires an external soundboard, which may not be compatible with a Mini.
awesome video!
The iMac comes with a 4.5K screen and 24 inch, If you dont have space for a 27+ inch iMac and you only have space for a 24 inch it will be very hard to find a 24 inch screen with 4k screen, they are usually around £400+
Yea, sorry but that little $250 monitor comes nowhere near the quality of an iMac display lol. You are looking at much closer to $800 for a monitor on the same level as iMac display, and you still need a keyboard and mouse plus $600 for the mini. The iMac is the better deal.
I am looking for an external monitor rn, and i am seeing that 4k displays having probelms with UI scaling
Recommending a Mac Mini is ridiculous, I stopped the video immediately, you are not credible
What to you think about refurbished?
Well thank you! I just used cross-reffed all this with chatgpt (who said great things about you btw) and came up with a winning combo to replace my sad M3 which is totally useless. Thanks!
Apple should start doing ultra wide screens for the imacs.
any recommendations for screens similar to an imac screen that you can buy separate? Besides apple's insane 5000 screen?
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
Hey Matt! Would you recommend the M4 Mac Mini for someone who edits short films primarily?
YouTube critics HATE Apple's storage options….but 3rd party storage and accessory companies….like OWC… must LOVE Apple. I wonder if part of Apple's storage pricing strategy is also an effort to drive business and help these smaller outfits broaden their own product lines.
Is it possible to work with ProRes Raw 12bit files with Mac mini?
"The journey is just as important as the destination." Your video reminded me to enjoy every step of the process!
Do ppl ask you alot about kdenlive, blender, or other freedom respecting solutions(ffmpeg). Is that not why you don't have a short video about why you won't be making videos about these? Is it just "free bad?"
Do you notice the difference between the 163dpi of the 27" 4k monitors, and the 218dpi of the iMac?
4:18 16 Gigs of RAM (I know you meant to say…)
I have not been a big Apple fan, but I have been enjoying the M processor series. I have a M3 Max MacBook, and it retired my custom built PC. It was just supposed to be my mobile editing station, and it has turned into my primary system.
How do you accurately color grade with an iMac to avoid gamma shift and such?
