Apple Macbook Pro 4K Video Editing

I bought two of these to use with my MacBook Pro M1 Max as a video editing workstation. ***Note that the only way I was able to display 4K at 60 hertz on both monitors simultaneously was to plug BOTH monitors directly to the MacBook via USB-C to DisplayPort cables. Once I did that and stopped trying to get them to work through the Thunderbolt 4 Dock I have, everything looks excellent.*** The resolution is great, as I can have Premiere Pro open on both monitors with one of the two showing the footage in the program window at close to actual size, which helps to see all the detail of the 4K image while editing. Colors look really good, and while this isn't a reference monitor designed for color grading Hollywood movies, it's plenty accurate for my videography work. Aside from video editing, text is super sharp and crisp, and photos and websites look excellent. Since it's an LCD, black levels are never going to look as inky black as they do on an OLED display, but that's to be expected. You can always get a small OLED TV to use as a makeshift client reference monitor. I originally wanted the Apple Studio Display, but at $1600 for one monitor, it was way too expensive for me. On Black Friday, I was able to snag TWO of these Asus ProArt 27 displays for under $800. That's less than half of ONE Apple display! Sure, it's not made of shiny aluminum, but who cares? Image quality is all I need, and this delivers in spades. Plus, they come with VESA mounting holes in the back as standard, so I was able to place them on a two-monitor VESA mounting arm and free up a bunch of space on my desk. I know the Apple display is 5K and this one is 4K, but two 4K monitors side by side get me way more resolution and work space than one 5K monitor. All in all, I heartily recommend this Asus ProArt 4K monitor to anyone looking for a high-res 27 LCD for content creation and general computing on a Mac (as long as you plug it in directly and not through a docking station).

I do 4K/8k raw video editing on a MacBook Pro M3 max, plugged one of these on a Usb-C port and achieve a 1Go transfer rate. I love it.

I use all the connections with my Apple MACbook Pro. I do a lot of video and audio editing and use external SSDs, speed works well in edits as if the files were native to the internal drive.

Bought it for editing 4k files, much faster than my macbook pro 2022

Heard all the buzz about this new M1 Chip from Apple, so since I do quite a bit of 4k Video editing for my clients, thought I would compare a M1 16gb/1TB version to my 2017 Macbook Pro i7 with 16gb/1TB. The difference is night and day, this M1 chip runs circles around the older Macbook Pro. I don't have any benchmark numbers to throw at you in backing up my claim, you can find those on the internet. One thing I noticed right away is the fan hasn't come on yet and stays cool - under the same tasks as I did before, the older one would get hot rather quickly processing 4k video and turn the fan on. The battery life is a game changer, I am able to go all day editing photos/videos for clients and upload on my hotspot while enroute to the next job without plugging in. With my older 15 Inch Macbook pro, I would need to plug it in every 2-3 hours. I can say as a business owner who deals with photos/videos on the daily, this new M1 chip is more than capable of the task and at a better price point than the $2400+ 16 inch models or previous generation Macbooks.

Great for editing my 4k and 8k footage. great from my new MacBook Pro M1 Max computer

Cool, quiet, quick and compact. Editing 4k on my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro without a hitch. For when you need to edit a lot of footage in a small footprint, this is the drive to get. Highly recommended.

Bought a MacBook Pro with USB-C ports and no vieeo output. Bought with it the Apple USB-C to HDMI adapter to drive my 4K TV that I use as a montor. The Apple product was total garbage with intermittent operation, tearing of the image, and useless to do work on. Since then I tried multiple other USB-C to HDMI adapters to run the TV in 4K resolution with similar results (although the worst what the one I bought at the Apple store.) This adapter works perfectly. Rock solid image at full 4K resolution. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants a 4K monitor for a very low price to work with their MacBook Pro that has the USB-C ports only. (The 4K TV is 55 inch which I bought for about $350 at Walmart on sale.)

This is really one of the only choices in brand if you're looking for something for pro video editing...Its quality is on par with the Apple products that it emulates. Everything has been fine so far with this particular drive...speed is great. Cant wait to use it more.

Hooked up to my Macbook Pro to have 2 monitors for video editing. Gave me plenty of real estate for working.
