I just don’t want to spec out a MacBook Pro and then have the external drive bottleneck its performance while I’m editing, even if it’s a fast external drive. I've heard mixed opinions that you could have better performance working entirely off your MacBook instead of working off an external hard drive/shuttle drive.Īre the internal drives on the M1 Max MacBook Pro fast enough that all of the footage could be on it and I'd be tapping into its peak performance? Or would I be better off editing from the footage on an external SSD? It would be an extra step having to transfer the footage from the hard drive to my MacBook every time I start a new project, but worth it if I’m getting max performance. My iMac Pro handles this pipeline just fine. Occasionally I will work with the raw footage in Premiere and attach the proxies. I work in Premiere and my workflow is as follows: cut the offline with 1080p ProRes Proxy files, do finishing/prep, then do the online/conform with 4K (sometimes up to 6K) files. (The latter of which is mostly used as a shuttle drive and probably isn’t the fastest). I’m a professional video editor and have always edited on an iMac Pro with an external RAID drive or a Lacie Rugged USB-C. This would be a MacBook that I’d bring with me while traveling/working remotely, so I want something powerful. I'm looking at getting the 2021 MacBook Pro 16-inch with the M1 Max chip and 64GB of memory, but I'm trying to decide how much internal storage I want.
