I was a PC user for years, and I was always thinking "well, Macs suck because you can't upgrade. I'm not buying a PC for 2 years!". But the reality is that, at the time, my PC was running very very slow after 2 years. I needed to format the hard drive to start fresh. (Win 95, Win 98, Win XP times, who remembers ? ahaha). But 7 years ago, I bought a 13" Macbook Pro and it never failed me. I never formatted my HD, I never felt the need to upgrade my machine... and I'm still using it on battery for at least 90 min without a charge.

The aesthetic of your videos are sooooo fantastic... could you ever consider doing a video of how u light your videos? The kind of lighting setup, the power, where do u set them... I know it’s a long shot, but would love it! Congrats for such a high level work.

I’m so glad you did some stuff with photography. Everyone I saw was just doing video editing stuff and can’t wait for my MBP M1 to come in

As a copywriter, I can’t wish for anything better than the entry-level 13” Pro M1. What a fine piece of design and technology.

the colours on and audio on your videos are so pleasing lol great info in the video too!

Love the colors, the lighting, the focus, and the shirt! 👌🏾

Ohhhhh man I've been waiting for this one. I upgraded from my late 2013 13" back in June to a 2020 13" 4-port model. The difference in performance has already been bonkers. Going from 8gb to 16gb of RAM and doubling the cores has made Lightroom and Photoshop far, far more usable. I've been able to open a good 15-20 500mb TIFF files in Photoshop for compositing without it breaking much of a sweat. The only real time I wait for it is while it's saving over the network to my gaming desktop/storage monster. So, while I'm gushing about the machine I type this on, I'm faced with the reality that I paid a good $2,600 CAD for it, when I could now theoretically get about 1.6x the multicore performance for nearly $1k less. I'm VERY excited to see what's in store for the high end 13" and the 16".

Nitpick: Rosetta is translation, not emulation. Big technical difference

Wow your video looks amazing! The quality is nuts and it looks sooo sharp! Amazing job keep it up!

Knowing you can use C1 and tether with no issues is awesome! I'm trying to hold off for the 16 inch or new iMac but if I had to replace my older Macbook Pro I feel much more comfortable about it now. Thanks for the video!

Gotta love the last "This machine is great" on 12:49 😂😂

Thank you for doing a review specifically for photographers! I’m going for the M1 16GB 1TB MacBook Pro! Amazing video quality too!

I always appreciate when the Stalmaster gives his feedback 👌🏻 beautifully done as always! 👍🏻 my laptop got stolen, so I’m going to pick one of these up as my portable work machine, and then get one of the new iMacs at a later stage for an home work machine. Because then I can wait for the really good stuff 👌🏻 a pitty I ordered the MBP, looking at how good the air is doing I could have saved some money’s, but we get some damn hot days here in South Africa and I think that fan will come in handy.

Great video and the ending line is perfect :)

Did you literally playback that 4K footage in FCP without creating proxies? that's god damn impressive.

Really helpful video. I only do light video editing of 4K video I take with my iPhone and my Mac mini handles it fine... but I hope to switch to a MacBook next. Thank you

Very good video! Exactly what I needed to see in this review video! Thanks dude

Apple Silicon is off to an amazing start! I'm getting the 14'' MBP refresh on day one for sure.

Would I be able to use my late 2015 27" 5K iMac with thunderbolt 2 as a target display powered by my Macbook Air M1 using sidecar?

Great stuff Tyler. Commercial looks really nice as well. I’ve got a Komodo vs C70 video coming soon and I took some of your feedback in to account that you gave on my c200 vs Komodo video.

Great video! Very insightful. The one problem holding me back from going all in on this laptop is it’s ability to process Adobe in a timely manner. Or even using Adobe at all. After watching a few videos I’ve seen people having problems with workflow on premier, which I use heavily for freelance work

Hey Tyler, good video. Ive been litterally waiting for your review on m1 but i was expecting couple of other things in this review. Like multiple raw files converting to tiff on capture one, or calibrating the monitor, or using a wacom tablet. How do they work? If i have use a second monitor will i be able to calibrate it? Can i use wacom tablet properly? Everyone talkes about how powerfull they are and ofcourse it is important but i think for us photographers there are small but crazy important stuff that needs to work from day one and i still dont have any answer about those. I hope you can make a video about them. Thank you :)

Thank you for showing what Photoshop looks like on a 13" MBA. Another reviewer said he could only see "3-4" layers at any given time and he was clearly exaggerating. From what I see and the work I do, this is more than satisfactory real estate for a portable machine.

curious why you went with the MBP instead of the MBA. Obviously it wasn't because of performance, but was it for battery life?

Did you transcode the R5 footage before editing it? Has anybody tried editing 10-bit R6 4K footage on these macs without transcoding and can let me know how smooth it edits? I’m due for an upgrade and these are very tempting

Great video , as a beginner to photography I’m going to be using luminar Ai for my editing . Will I need to buy the 16gb MacBook or would the 8 suffice ? Thanks

THAN YOU!! Finally an M1 video using Capture One. Did you shoot tethered on Capture1?

Great video 👌🏼 can’t wait to see what you think about the C70, I love mine!

Thanks for making this video! It cleared up a lot of things for me 😊 I’m currently looking into buying a laptop, which laptop would you say is best for photographers/filmmakers?

Just sold my MBP 13” late 2016 with 8 gigs RAM for 40% of the purchase price in 3 days. A good deal. Ordered the new MBP 13” M1 with 16 gigs RAM and I’m looking forward to get a small beast as my secondary Mac (main Mac is my iMac) for travel use, teathered use and editng photos and videos (shooting with Sony A7$ iii and A7R iii) on the go. I think the new “lower” pricing will fit a lot of pro users as their 2nd Mac, and consumers as well. Great video with actually editing tests. Thanks for sharing.

That transition on the iMac for the sponsored segment was smoooooooth

I watch both of your videos with the M1 chips in laptop and desktop which one you Prefer if you have to choose one out of the two ? Especially working with lots of photography programs. Thanks

What do you think about the use of the Mac mini as the main workhorse?

Hi Tyler, great video, as usual. Apparently Adobe has announced a native M1 version of LRC. Have you tried running it on your M1 MBP? Thanks, Stefano

Good info of real use. Adobe documents that Lr & Ps have issue’s with the M1 chip? You mentioned “Rosetta” to run Lr & Ps. Is Rosetta an automatic addition or do you have to find it ~ any chance you can elaborate on this (and using Rosetta, does it reduce the effect of the M1chip?)

Cool! Can you tell me what I might need for dealing with 6k Black Magic Pro? Thank you!

hey nice review, by the way u r photoshop under rosetta or native big sur os? and what model u r using there? looking forward to your answer before I buy one.

Great to see what competition in chip making achieves. Thanks for the video. Be well, be blessed, be safe!

Thank you for this video. If I use Lightroom and photoshop together would you recommend the MacBook Air or pro?

How does this compare to 2020 iPad Pro ? And what specs would yo get the M1 MBP?

Thank you! Great info!

Hey Man, I hope you can answer my question, did you color calibrate the macbook screen? for adobe rgb mode or anything, please help me, I am new to mac

Tyler, I see you mainly use Capture One, but have you tried Lightroom Classic with the M1? I'm specifically interested in smart preview rendering and export times for 500+ photo catalogs. btw great video as always!

what is happening with the frames of this video? is it like a flickering light?? or a problem with the camera?? or a problem with the sync between the frequencies between the camera and the light?? idk

I've been studying channels like yours, because I want to replace my 2012 MacBook Pro. But I read some others say the M1 chip sucks, bytes whatever. Is the M1 chip good or not. Should I get the MacBook Pro or air, for video and photography editing?

what app do you use for tethering??? i'm using the M1 MBP as well, kind to let me know?

Would you recommend it as the main machine for video editing up to 2k footage?

wait was this the 8gb one ? or 16gb pretty curious since your getting results with 4k video editing an 8k playback

Great video and finally something away from all those benchmarks which we know are awesome but don't give you a real world workflow. I am pretty tempted to get one myself. Might hold on to my old Intel based though for a bit until the redesigned 14" comes out.

I heard wacom drivers do not work on m1. If I purchased an m1, then few months wacom optimized their drivers for m1 to work, would my purchased m1 update for that or it can't? And do you think if i buy the base air with 16gb ram, will it last at least 4 years?

Never considered the existence of a Gigapixel “community” but now I wonder how I never heard of them before. Every profession in tech has their hardo faction.

Hey Tyler, do you think the Macbook Air M1 comes close to the Pro when it comes to video editing? Want to know your thoughts, Thanks!

I'm a photographer too, mostly use Lightroom and occasionally Photoshop. I know for a fact even the M1 MBA is more than enough for my needs, even with using LR and PS thru Rosetta 2. I'm still on a 2013 15" MBP, so any of these M1 Macs would be a huge improvement. Part of me wants a 16" ARM MBP, but these days, my current MBP stays mostly docked to my Thunderbolt Display, so I may just go with a MBA or even a Mac Mini for now. I haven't seen an M1 Mac connected to a Thunderbolt Display though....

Yoooo your video quality is crazy good

Great review, now the real question is would you trade your 16" for the M1

I use photoshop and illustrator for many hours with many layers huge psd files, should I purchase macbook pro m1 or hp spectre x360 i7 11th gen thanks

Nice, I see you got the C70, how do you like it compared to the C200?

Great video! You earned my sub

Excellent video, Tyler. I prefer to see real-world applications of the new M1, rather than those generic benchmarks.

I need to upgrade my mac, need more speed to handle those 4k and up video files along with faster exporting this looks good so far!

Hi Tyler. Any link if some sorts to watch the Christmas Ad you displayed in this video?

Great video! Thoughts on a keyboard cover for M1 MacBook Pro? I’m hearing conflicting opinions. One negative being potential permanent marks on screen. Also, potentially applying additional pressure to screen given tight fit when closed.

About to replace my 2015 15” with the 13” m1 pro💪🏽

I have a Photography class, and my class use Lrc. I want to know it's work, If I want to use macbook pro with Lrc Application? Sorry, My English very bad. Thank you😊

damm!! your video looks so good...! what main camera u used bro?

I just want to be sure and ask about the SSD is it the 265 gb or 512 gb?

I love dark room it’s the best!!

I noticed a significant difference when upgrading from my 2019 base model 13 inch MacBook Pro to the m1 MacBook Air. It’s literally about the same editing/rendering experience as my PC, with ryzen 3700x, 32GB RAM, rx 5700 xt!

Everyone dancing in big clumsy costumes around all those titan tubes was scarier than any Ari Aster movie.

Can you speak more to what the 2020 iMac does better or faster than the M1’s with video editing? For my use case, I use a 2020 16” loaded MBP and I can easily choke my system (final cut) when editing glitchy style intros or more commercial style stuff. Essentially I have to use proxy’s anyway so in that case are the M1’s still “better” in some things? Or would a loaded iMac still be better if I’m working with proxy’s anyway?

What do you use to transfer video/photos to M1 Mac Book Pro? My laptop cracked during normal use and after having the new laptop repaired, I'm having a problem transferring video/photos to laptop. There's a class action lawsuit against Apple for its defective product. I've used Apple products for years, but I find the M1 Mac Book Pro defective.

All i want for christmas is... Tyler Stalman's wardrobe

Are there any reviews of people using this MacBook while editing in Premiere? Just want to know about render and export speed. FCPX works WAY different

Great video!

For only photo editing, not video. Is the 8 GB okay or should I go with the 16 gb?

Great video. Just common sense which is a breathe of fresh air!

What about R5 footage on premiere pro on the M1? Thanks!

I’m anxious to hear from a photographer if Photo Mechanic runs on an M1 and currently in Rosetta 2? That for me is a deal breaker and Camera Bits is conservative and says don’t do it if the work is critical. But nobody has said it works, it doesn’t or parts don’t work.

While using the „base“ model, did you work from external drives and how did work?

That square space transition on your mac in the background was cleann

Best light and best colorgrading in youtube

9:08 If you get the 2TB Model you will get the 40GB per second writing speed and even more swap memory.

Considering he Canon R5's overheating issues, how did you managed to shoot this (and the other videos)? Doesn't the shutting down/waiting time after get overheated bothers you/your content creation workflow? Fantastic overall video quality by the way(imagem, sound and arguments).

we can run cracked software on apple silicon Mac??

Nice video man! Big fan from India ❤️

Will it be able to handle CAD stuff??

Everything I have been saving up for is in that bag, pretty much. 1st time I have been interested in entering a giveaway

Thanks, already bought a month back just wanted to be assured of keeping it if i use 4k60😅 (base)

Basically the R5 records 422 H.265 10 bit and most GPU's only have accelerated decoding for 420 10 Bit. But iphones and ipad's using Apple Silicon have had 422 acceleration for a while, and now it's here on their macbook.

Welcome back to another episode of me watching videos of stuff I can't afford 😁

Is this MBP with 8 or 16 GB ram?

How’s tethering with capture one on this shooting with the R5?

Tyler, my husband LOVES this shirt, the gray with the orange buttons. Would you mind sharing where you got it?

Hey Tyler. I've been pretty sold on the M1 MacBook Pro and will likely get one this year. Wondering if you would recommend 16GB memory/512GB storage or 8GB memory/1TB storage. Is this splitting hairs with the performance of these M1 chips? Would one be better for longevity? Would probably invest in external storage. I currently use a 2012 MacBook Pro. I've had to replace the hard drive twice lol. I would likely use a new laptop for 8 years or so again.

I’m baffled, I was ready to pull trigger on the new 13 inch MacBook Pro M1, contacted Capture One which I have subscription. They told me that at this point Capture One will not run on M1 MacBooks?

All KZfaqr just shows performance in video and photo, I understand since that's all you guys do but Can you show performance in other areas like autodesk software, etc

Tyler - the R5 footage - are you using proxies or converting to ProRes? I’m in my journey to content creation and as I understand it - h265 essentially kills all computers as it’s highly compressed - and for some reason 4.2.2 is far more complex than 4.2.0

I have a ryzen 5 3600 and 2070 super, should i sell it for a m1 air? And extra cash ofc lol

Strange question where did you get that shirt from ?

When do you upload your iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera review? 😍😍
