Number one, I'm going to summarize this video in about one minute so I don't
waste your time and number two this is not a tutorial so if you're looking for
an in-depth tutorial about how to edit faster I can do that if I get a lot of
positive review for this just leave in the comment below this video is going to
be helpful and I'll explain why so over the past year I've been having a lot of
trouble editing my 4k DJI footage it's been extremely slow and the number one
complaint I think for most people editing video is that they think it
takes too long so most people want to edit faster that's kind of a universal
thing and myself included I've been struggling with this trying to edit
faster for the last year and the last couple months I've come to the point
where enough is enough I need to find a solution so my solution was to look at
different editing software's and to look at different hardware whether to go with
a laptop or a desktop and then to look at different editing software's I was
editing in Premiere Pro with the 2011 MacBook Pro now the rendering time was
so slow the 4k footage would often be choppy and I have to wait for it to
render and it always be like this and then it take forever to edit so
here's what I found out through all my research and testing with different
software the three biggest software around today are Adobe Premiere Pro then
you have Final Cut Pro by Apple and then you have DaVinci Resolve by Blackmagic
all three of these software's are very advanced and very good so I've tried all
three but the one that I found worked the best with DJI footage and especially
DJI 4k footage was Final Cut Pro no no it wasn't my number one choice it was
actually my last choice but watching my footage go like this and be so choppy
and taking forever to edit Final Cut was the only one that worked smooth without
creating any proxy or optimized files I could just edit it straight into Final
Cut and I had no issues now let's move to the hardware I want it to stay with a
laptop because I travel a lot so I want it to be portable and I look through all
the laptops the thing with the Apple laptops is all the new
Apple laptops have issues of overheating when editing in 4k and some other issues
that I'm not going to go into this video but you can do the research and you can
see that the older laptops often perform better than the newer Apple laptops and
for the price of that laptop to me it just wasn't worth it and then I looked
at PCs Windows laptops are performing very well and outdoing Apple laptops
then I looked at desktops and I saw that both Apple and PC perform very well and
the thing about the Apple desktop versus the Apple laptop is that I could change
the RAM memory in the back which I couldn't do with the laptop which would
cost me a lot of money and since I run on a tight budget I wanted to get the
most bang for my buck and still edit my 4k footage Apple laptops are sort of out
of the equation I didn't want to get a really another old laptop so it was
either going with an apple desktop or going with a Windows laptop so for the
price I found that a 2017 iMac 27-inch was the best bang for my buck now I got
it refurbished which was even better a lot of people don't like buying
refurbished products but I bought refurbished products before I've never
had an issue and I can say I've used this for a few weeks now
and I finally figured out Final Cut Pro from premier and I gotta say that it was
definitely worth the change and I apologize for making this summary a
little long but it's almost done a lot of you out there may be saying I can't
transfer from Premiere Pro I love Premiere Pro which I do too to Apple
Final Cut Pro but I will say if you just lock yourself in a room like I did for a
weekend and just learn the different tools that you were using with Premiere
Pro it does transfer over to Final Cut Pro so I finally learned all the
shortcuts I'm now editing 4k footage at the speed of my thought so it's kind of
like that so you're gonna see a lot more videos on my channel now which is great
and one last thing to take in consideration is that Final Cut Pro X
you only have to pay for once whereas Adobe you have to pay every
single month so I paid $300 for Final Cut Pro and Adobe overtime it just
becomes so expensive it also crashed a lot and has certain issues and if
you're editing YouTube videos you can upload them from Final Cut Pro right to
YouTube very quickly and the rendering exporting time is 5 to 10 times faster
maybe even faster than that so it's completely changed my editing
experience that's why I wanted to share it with you if you are interested in me
making an entire tutorial series about how I edit in Final Cut and premiere I
could do that just leave it in the comments below it would take me some
time to do it properly so I don't want to put forth all that effort if you're
not interested in it so if you are leave a comment below thank you guys for
giving me your attention that's the end of the summary for this video I
appreciate your time please subscribe if you haven't done so now we're going to
get into the unboxing and a little more explanation if you're interested in that
so let me go get that and the rest of the video is actually right over here 4k
footage with drone footage DJI for
so that's why I decided to get this the only powerful laptop that I found this
really reliable is a PC and I've been using a Mac for so long I didn't want to
make that jump and I got it refurbished it's definitely an irresponsible
purchase for the short term but for the long term I think it's really gonna pay
off because I can edit a lot more videos very quickly so big I can barely fit it
in frame here let me readjust the camera hold on a second
alrighty that's a little better the Lee's can see sort of my head my point
of making this video is that 4k footage if you want to edit it you really need
the right tools otherwise it's gonna be just such a hassle for YouTube videos
speed is really important it's kind of a no-brainer I can make more videos I can
make more money I'm able to get more work and do more so this is why I got
this it's definitely the largest um box I couldn't even sit down for this one
man he liked guerrilla strength to get this open there we go
so there's definitely no Apple laptop with this kind of power for this price I
paid $2,200 for this 27-inch iMac has a 4.2 gigahertz processor 512GB solid-state
drive and I ordered the RAM that's the main thing with the lab Apple laptops
you can't upgrade the RAM you can but Apple has to do it for you with this I
could buy the RAM separately and do it myself
so I upgraded it to 64 gigs of ram of memory it has a really strong graphics
card so student really helped me out for my videos I wanted the 21.5 inch but
they didn't have an i7 processor in that size with this kind of power so plus the
RAM only went up to 32 gigs instead of 64 so that's what I got this guy man
this is it's like buying a big-screen TV ah by the way I just opened up a t-shirt
and merchandise site on my website if you want to check it out it's in the
description below you can get this don't drink and drone shirt or the new hats
that I have in the link below alright let's get back into this this guy right
here whoa this is big fuck this off the Apple say it's Apple
certified refurbished and this is my second refurbished computer my last one
my laptop still works amazing it's just obviously it's 2011 so it's time for a
newer one this is 2017 it's a little old but it still has a lot more power than a
brand new 2019 iMac for the price for the same price I get more bang for my
buck buying a refurbished one I really don't like having really big things all
around my room in my place but I'm really excited about this screen
27 inches sometimes size matters this is actually a 5k screen the weird thing is
as I'm opening this up I kind of wish it was a new laptop but it's the desktop so
I'm trying to wrap my mind around that
all righty Wow only time I've edited on the screen like this is when it's one of
my friends never edited on a screen like this by myself
nevermind YouTube videos etc so I'm really excited my channel is definitely
gonna be a lot better because of this not that equipment matters so much but
for for what I'm doing for the speed that I want to make videos I've done so
much shooting and the reason I made this video is because I have done so much
shooting and I haven't been able to crank out all the videos that I want to
it's just taking me so long to render and edit with the computer I have a
Premiere Pro that now I think I'll be able to do a lot faster I'm giving these
little things all over me the thing about 4k footage it's great
only if you can edit it just like it's just another tool like this is just a
tool it's this is great to have but if you don't use it there's really no point
of having it so I'm definitely a fan of making the most of what you have and
using it and on this channel there's a lot of filmmakers out there like you
guys so I want to make the best possible videos I can just like you do if I shot
it in 1080 I really miss being doing a disservice to you guys and myself and
also for the future everything's going towards 4k so it's a good way to keep my
channel up-to-date and YouTube and filmmaking and flying drones every
little advantage you can have why not take advantage of it that's why I'm
really adamant about shooting in 4k and getting this is gonna allow me to do
that and edit the videos without having to wait and it slowly renders and it's
like choppy and it takes forever to edit and it's ah so been so frustrating for
me for so long whoa I think I should do a thumbnail I
think I should do a picture before gets dust on it I'm never gonna see the
screen this pristine people love touching the screen - I try to not touch
my screen because this one especially I think it doesn't have the matte finish
so anything you touch it will have that reflection I don't really like that and
wha-la done these three things all that for these three things
so this is my macbook pro that have had since 2011 that i've been using to edit
all my youtube videos in 4k and often i've been shooting in 1080 and then up
sampling to 4k with my canon camera but we might drone footage my DJI footage i
shoot in 4k and it just takes me forever to edit so out of curiosity I'm just
gonna hold this keyboard next to my laptop keyboard it's basically the same
size I want to watch it myself oh yeah now it's here I know it doesn't
look that big maybe does I don't know but just so you know this is my iPad is
my phone this is a normal sized iPad and you can see the size size is huge
my whole point of this video is speed matters for 4k if you can't edit like
you normally do then only edit in 1080 if you need 4k you're gonna either have
to get a new computer new software but make sure they blend together I went
with Apple's I'm going final cut I'm going with a desktop if you go with PC
then you could probably go with a laptop you go with Premiere Pro or go with
DaVinci Resolve that's my recommendation I'm getting tired from standing like
this bent over if you want the new shirt have the new shirt
don't drink and drone ok got the new hats in my t-shirt merchandise store
just opened up so if you want to go check them out it helps support my
channel if you haven't subscribed to my channel please do cuz I'll be making a
lot more videos now that I have this and give it a thumbs up and I'll see you in
the next one guys and remember guys Siempre Pa'lante, Nunca Pa'tra!
