Potato: I can’t buy a Mac I can’t afford it Also potato: owns a red an arri Alexa, 10,000$ tripod

Calling the Pocket 6K a "basic" camera is one of the weirdest statements I've heard in some time

If you need advice for the gym I’d charge you in equal amounts of questions about camera gear ^^

As a professional video editor I have worked on a variety of systems, ECS, Ampex, CMX, Calaway, Grass Valley, Avid and Premiere. Hardware was proprietary until Calaway, Avid and others started using PC and Macs. I worked on both sides of the old Mac vs PC debate and am surprised to see it still being talked about. For me it has always been about what hardware would work best with my chosen software. Recently I had to upgrade from my 10yr old pc, and when looking around the choice was easy. I can buy a lot more current hardware with a pc then Mac. Not that one is better then the other, just a financial fact. I can get to making money more quicker with a pc. In the end I built my own edit system for $2300. If I have to go portable, then my old Dell E6430 which just got the free Win7 to Win10 upgrade, will get me through. Got this laptop for $200 used and for the few times that I need it, it gets the job done. Moral of the story, pick your edit software, determine what hardware will get the most out of it, then find the OS that will work best. And don't forget you are turning to make money so there is ROI to consider.

just seeing this guy and i like him already.... I can't place it, he just seems a genuine fella and explains nicely

Omg i was literally searching for THIS on google yesterday... Thanks dude !

You legitimately gained my subscribed at 3:55 min. when you shared the humanizing trait of looking through specs and transparently shared as I feel constantly "don't know what that is, don't know what that is, don't know what that is." Cheers!

This is totally unrelated but could you do a video on picture profiles and whether flat and "fake-log" profiles like CineStyle are worth using on beginner DSLRs with 8 bit video? Some say it crushes the midtones too much and adds noise in the shadows. Others say it gives you more options in color grading. Is ProLost a decent middle ground that allows for more color grading without losing too much color information( since it's basically a modified Neutral PP)? One more question (I know it's a lot already), any tips for shooting commercials? I made some nice videos according to my manager and she decided to gave me a task to shoot 3 travel commercials to be shown at travel fairs. All I have is agimbal, 200D+ kit lens and a Sigma 30mm 1.4.

The PC vs MAC debate doesn't matter seeming you are a DaVinci Resolve Studio user now. DaVinci Resolve is compatible with both and is the fastest of all NLEs.

His computer : has an i9 9900k He: 🤷‍♂️

My Mac is very very frustration free... Apple: hold my Catalina

Love the up beat attitude. Great game energy. Keep it up. I am at the very beginning stages of learning all of this. It is so foreign to me. Appreciate how you present your information and knowledge.

Great video! For several years I used a high spec PC workstation running Premiere at work. During that same time I used a MacBook Pro as my main work computer. I frequently edited some projects in FCP on the MBP but mostly just used Premiere on it. I don’t know that I preferred either one. Pretty much depended on the project. At the time I was doing everything in 1080P so while the workstation was faster often the MBP was just easier because I could work on stuff at home or in meetings. Now I am using Premiere on a MBP now for the occasional project but I no longer edit as a work thing. I do work with the occasional event or nonprofit but these are very low pressure so speed isn’t a huge issue. I have played with Luma Fusion on the iPad Pro and could see myself going that direction with my current needs. I am waiting for iPad OS but if that works well for file storage and organization I absolutely will give it a shot. I don’t think platform is important. Use what you like and can afford that will get the job done.

Gene: "so again, i don't really know a lot about PCs" **proceeds to pull out a sheet with specs that would make CERN jealous*

I have a MacBook Pro 2017 version but recently I got a new mac mini in Oct 2019 over 1200$. It was good, but it doesn’t have dedicated graphics card. It was lagging when I load video with VFX on PR. I haven’t tried AE on it. What computer you edit on?

If I need „straight performance“, I‘ll go to AWS and get the right EC2 instance for a couple of hours. The only downside is, you‘ll need a good internet connection

“When I bought a gym membership for 2 years and stopped going after 2 months” Yeah that’s exactly me.. 😢

Thank God there's someone like me mixing the two systems and sometimes confused control and comand button..haha

Dude! I love your energy and humor. It really plays a role in the way I am able to stay focused on what you are talking about or teaching. Made sure to hit the Like and Subscribe 👍

adobe premier pro or apple final cut pro x, which one is the best one? apple desktop or windows assembled high end, which is the best for studio and video editing? answer me?

Nice review. Similarly I use Mac and PC, I constantly see people comment about the price of Macs compared to PCs, but having looked at upgrading to a new laptop I compared the Razor Blade and MacBook Pro and there similarly priced, plus the MacBook had the new i9 chip, while the Razor had the i7 chip. Am I missing something or are people just entrenched in using their preferred platform?

With the new Ryzen chips out and Resolve being, well, free, it's a pretty solid way to get started on a budget. I love my iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad Pro, and MacBook Pro, but for video/photo editing, I prefer Windows. Upgrading my 2600k/1080 Ti/16GB rig to a 3700x/1080 Ti/32GB build soon so I can handle 4k without struggling. lol

when can't you drag a clip straight into the timeline?? i'm genuinely confused i've been editing for 15 years and i've never done anything but drag it straight in on a windows machine 0:55. mind you i started with canon so always had friendly codecs

You’re so funny and really informative, thank you for making this video! I still have no idea what I’m gonna buy but I definitely learned a lot! 😊

3:30 Potato talking : bla bla bla bla monitor : STAHP MOVING!! I'M WOBBLING!!!!

Both.

you are so fun to watch. that is great! one extra thing in addition to the actual useful content of the video that keeps the viewer engaged!!! amazing video!

Hi jet I want a 4k camera that doesn't over heating what do you recommend for me and what do you think about black magic

7:09 man that reaction😂

I wish I could get notified of a new Potato Jet video via a pager. I'd rock that every day.

This was my dilemma earlier this year: been using Mac for a decade, but got a gaming PC for Adobe CC work since my MacBook Pro was showing its age. Nowadays, I use my PC for gaming and freelance work and my Mac for email, browsing and AirDrop (can’t live without it lol).

Those are my favourite final words for a KZfaq video. 🤣👌👍

New gym membership? Going from the kid from up to Bolo Yeung. I'm with you man.

That’s the computer? Dude I thought that was a speaker. LOL. I love editing on my iPad. LumaFusion baby!

Hi, I bought your loots and used them 1 time, but when I added them to another project, the preview screen turned black. What is the problem?

Every time i watch your videos and it's "oh my, what is happening?!", am I so slow to catch up with the topics and switching scenes? :(

4:13 You know you're a baller when you call a Blackmagic Cinema Camera ”basic”.

Potato Jet, is perhaps the first Asian not to know anything about PC components.

Just recently joined your channel but i absolutely love your videos :D keep up the great work man :D

i enjoy listening to you talk, so inspirational... sometimes i turn the volume up when im busy and forget about the screen. im a big fan

What program are you using to record your audio or is the condenser mic connected to your camera?

I think he needs to start Overclocking.. let me know when you’re ready.. I’ll build ya a Mac on pc components if ya need ;)

I currently have a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 with the 8 core x 2.4 processor, 26gb ram, and the 5770 gpu. I’m on the fence about getting a newer Mac, a PC (I don’t feel like starting from scratch on software/plug-ins and presets), or just upgrading my 5,1 to a 6 core x 3.33 and adding a Samsung SSD. My goal is to speed up premier pro playback and rendering for 100mbs or higher bitrate 4K video. I shot a 4K music video on a Osmo Pocket and it took months to edit because of system crippling playback & rendering. *Help Me* Thanks In Advance

Thank you for this video because I was thinking about going to APC. I currently use a Mac and I just migrated over to final cut pro. I cant see myself editing on anything else since my videos are all 4k. But after seeing this, I may try video editing in premier. I was taught that in school but really didnt much care for it.

Actually if you want to spend some time on it, you can enjoy both world with a hackintosh build, running macos with whatever hardware spec you like, even with amd threadripper CPU, and it's not that hard to do. My current build took me about 3 weeks to finish (1 week for hardware, 2 weeks to figure out the hackintosh installation and fixing USB ports), it has an 18core i9 cpu, 128G ram and radeon vii gpu, with a ton of ssd + hdd raid configured in zfs. The whole setup is more powerful than any IMac that's available today, and still cheaper. Even without crazy overclock, my render time for h264 4k 24p is usually less than 40% of the total length of the video with moderate color grading (e.g. for a 10min black magic raw clips, it can finish the rendering in less than 4mins)

I love how everyone in this video is talking about Mac Books and there is me with a 6 year old HP laptop running Linux. Personally Id love to be all Linux. Doing anything in windows takes forever in the settings and Mac just locks things down too much but I do all my editing and gaming on Windows (Im a cyber security major so I have some experience with Linux)

@10:35 is that a polar pro Peter mckinnon nd filter? If so what’s the adapter you’re using. I’m trying to put my 16-35 nd on my 70-200 #BrokeAsAJoke

Super happy we switched our company to PC several years ago. It has been a great choice for us, for many reasons.

You just triggered a traumatic flashback when you mentioned Avid. Had to use that in editing class in college and I couldnt figure it out to save my life XD

Over about 15 years I went from iMovie HD to final cut 7 then X, then to premiere then to avid (briefly) and finally settled with resolve. Da Vinci is the only way. PC is clearly better if you gotta balance ya income and expenses on a small/medium budget. Macs are cool tho. 🤷🏻‍♂️

GREAT VIDEO! I love the personality that comes through your videos- hilarious!

I love that right before there is an apple add 😂

Potato Jet now a gaming KZfaqr??? What!?

Meanwhile I’m editing 4K 60p video on my iPhone. To be honest try using an iPad with the 12 bionic. You get faster 4K performance than the best MacBook 13 inch

Are there any pc monitors that are also good for color accuracy? I’m considering MacBook Pro due to the fact that it seems to be an all in one for me with editing 4k video. The power and specs are there for what I need, but it is quite steep.

Have you got a Mac with the P3 display? Colour grading on premiere with a Mac P3 display is so stupid - no support for the P3 colour space in premiere.

Key takeaway: a pager was like an iphone but less good

Been with Premiere Pro since the beginning of our journey. Sure they have that weird crash and all but for me it is more user-friendly compared to final cut.

I use FCPX cuz it's where I started, and when I try to use track based editors it feels overly complex and slows me down. It gets in my way and the timeline feels archaic and keeps me from burning thru stuff, feels like i'm going back in time. Plus it's chugs thru stuff fast and runs butter smooth even on laptops cuz optimization which is nice. I get why people love Adobe but nothing wrong with using FCPX, or Davinci if that's your thing or you love color grading. Also is that a trash can design? I thought editors hated those cuz you can't upgrade lol

Very informative and entertaining. Love your style and energy.

Potato jet is my Hero! This chino is big time funny! Ur awsome bro

He's going to grow big and strong like Peter Mckinon 🤣

Not only have I used a pager, I also still have one of the first "smaller" cellphones of 1998 and the first one that did basic texts.

Your personality is infectious dude I feel happier for some reason after watching this

At 0:48 I was beginning to think he was possessed but he is just speaking in codec Same thing

I used mac for about 12 years of my life. When I started getting more serious about video editing and started doing more with colorgrading and effects so on and so forth my mac just wasnt keeping up. My mac was from 2012 and I had it upgraded as far as it could be upgraded. I started checking into a new mac and base models just didnt offer enough. And then i didn't feel like blowing $4k plus for what I wanted to get. I spent about $1050 on a pc and I'm super pleased! I'll eventually upgrade the graphics card but currently I spent 1050 on a pc with 16gb ram, 8gb graphics card, 8 core processor, water cooler for the processor, ssd and hhd. Just so much more for my money. On that note I still use my macbook for recording music lol Logic for life

I went to NYU from 2002-2006. In their editing labs it was all fcp on macs. And add that when it came time to write or print something out-the pc labs were always packed -especially around midterms and finals. But the Mac labs were damn near empty. No one knew their way around them so they just weren’t in use that much. Your favorite seat would always be free. Even during midterms and finals. So when I graduated and I had the very rare opportunity to buy a editing machine and fcp I had to go with a Mac Pro tower. In all I spent around 7k. We all know what became of fcp but that tower lasted -as a an editing machine till about 2014. It still works , of course it can’t edit today’s workflow but it’s not ready to be recycled just yet. Also I was able to swap out video cards for free about a year into using it. Bought the tower to the soho apple store right around the time it first opened up. I fully upgraded the memory to maximum capacity and installed a second hard drive. When I went to that same soho store to buy the tower one of the sales guys recommended to custom order the tower from Cupertino. I was (ironically ) on a dell laptop on the phone with a rep and scrolling apples webpage telling what processor to put in and graphics card I wanted. When it showed up I just opened up the door and inserted the chips and cards and that was it. For over ten years that Mac Pro was a tank. It never crashed. Handled red footage like an ace when red was brand new. Times have changed but as of now I have no reason to go back to a pc. Even though as an 80’s kid I grew up with pcs. Was on word 2.0 with the blue screen in the fifth grade. Had a dell all through out high school. But as of now I’m just too use to macs. That perhaps was a result of having to go the lab and actually do other non editing things. Add I wound up buying a nano, a touch and eventually an iPhone it’s not really worth it to switch back. Besides I’ve got too many nightmares of defragmenting my PCs, lol.

This was right on time! I'm debating on which to go with

This was what I was searching last night!!! Is potato jet a mind reader or what?!

I'm a Happy Hackintosh Owner, best of both worlds!

Not for nothing, but it's defiantly easier to learn premiere because there's a search bar in the "Help" tab. No way to search on PC. I went from Mac to PC for gaming, and I'm so glad I learned on mac.

Man you are incredible and I love your channel!

You and Linus tech should do a collaboration as both of you came out with a video on the same topic on the same day 😱😱

The 16" MBP changes everything

You are so freaking likable it hurts my soul. 💜

I edit on both and regularly switch between the two. I think the gap has shrunk so small now that it's not even noticeable!

I have both. Mac for taking notes in class and managing media on the go and PC for pretty much anything that requiers some horse power

Potato jet: I mean I use a multi thousand dollar pc most of the time but sometimes I just use my $2000 Mac, sometimes I use my.. Me: cries in corner while editing on iMovie on my iPhone 5...

Dude! You crack me the hell up! Good stuff!

which is better MacBook pro 15 or HP Pavilion 15-dk1006ne for video editing and 3Dmodeling and animation ?,

"Watch TV while you editing"

New M1 silicon Macs... looking forward to your take vs PC now...

Me the same, I have a MacBook for Text etc and a self built PC for video editing. I'm kind of a beginner here, but love how DaVinci Studio 16.1 works - did you use it for editing, too?

switching at the moment from mac to pc!!

"Made from Astronauts gloves" wtf

You're just the coolest guy on earth, I love seeing that you're all the way UP

Piece of advise for the command/ctrl shortcuts issue. With corsair keyboards if they support the icue software you can set macros to any single key and make it automatically change depending on the program you're using. So you could create a profile on your pc so that when you run première the ctrl key would be allocated in the same place where you have the command key when you run the mac. Like this it would always be the same key

And i'm video editing on a laptop of the Jesus era! For a video in 480p It took 2week for render

Potato jet will hit his first controversy talking about android like that😂😂😂

Good info! I had always thought of it as either Mac or PC.

wait what is wrong with premiere pro? isn’t it more preferable over final cut as it is available over all platforms?

COME DRINK SOME IRISH BEER AND WHISKEY WITH ME!!! Sent you a DM on Insta about Get Shamrocked. Going to be a killer time and going to vlog the whole process. Thanks Jet.... Travel More! Worry Less!

I’ve edited on windows and MAC OS and to me editing on windows is a little more clunky then Mac. Just a personal opinion

Love the videos! Keep them coming!

@potatojet. I need your help. I have a MacBook Pro and shot a basketball game on my a7siii but did it in 4k and when I try to edit In premiere my MacBook Pro can’t handle it. Any suggestions

Are we going to see a review on the new Canon 90d? I want to come out now!!!

"I want a slightly faster graphics card." "Well you can buy this new computer." This is totally true, cant upgrade Mac that easy, and if you do, it will burn through your wallet.. and Yeahhh gym subscription, make sure lift heavy gym equipments, that would be good for your elbow........

I noticed your equipment in the background. How do you organize and store your equipment?

I love my Canon m50 but any advice on how to make the footage look better? I feel like sometimes it's the bare minimum

Hackintosh all the way 🤓
