Re: [Avid-L2] Least expensive but capable computer for MC?

Oh - I reread your query and see your already on M1.  I agree with Ashley.  Even for color grading in resolve I work in HD until output, effectively a proxy workflow.  So maybe try that before buying a new computer.

Hello to this rather quiet list,

I have been editing an hour program with 4k proxies on a MBP M1 Max with 32 GB, and it has been a bit of a struggle, which seems to be related to not having enough memory. (On the activity monitor, the RAM is always in orange right at the top.)

I just finished one project, and before I launch into another, I am likely going to get rid of this computer for another.

What does everyone recommend in Mac or Windows if I don't want to spend a lot of money but need to chug through an hour-long 4k timeline?  (I have always been a Mac guy but if the price/performance difference is substantial I may convert.)

Thanks,

Dan
