Editing Video On Macbook Pro

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

I've been using a couple of these for travel and remote video editing (iMac and and new M1 MacBook Pro), and they have worked flawlessly. Highly recommended.

I have a stack of Glyph 8TB drives that I use for video storage and editing off of my Macbook Pro. They never give me any trouble. Not the cheapest, but reliability is everything. I use 2 slightly slower WD 8TB drives for onsite and offsite backup of the Glyphs.

This drive is direct connect to my MacBook pro by Thunderbolt. The speed is exceptional for video editing.

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 mainly used for photo, video editing, to upgrade my MacBook pro. It's really fast, quiet, to meet the needs of my work. I suggest that we must buy another 4x8gb memory to upgrade this model Mac Pro, the only way it will work perfectly.

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 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.

He has been asking for a MacBook Pro to do editing and of course I want to encourage whatever he is interested in.

As soon as I got this, my 2011 macbook pro is more useful than before. Helped me do my editing more convenient
