Chris here and welcome back to what was requested a lot and that is davinci resolve we've got the
latest version 17 on both of these units right here so the macbook pro 16-inch model that i've
got is the base model okay so 512 gigabytes of storage 16 gigabytes of ram and the m1 pro 10
cores for the cpu 16 for the gpu up against what has been my editing machine for 4k video and this
is my msi ge66 radar now this has the 4k oled screen which is great color coverage with this
one it's 100 adobe rgb which actually betters out this one but it's only 60 hertz of course this is
promotion 120 hertz but we've got the rtx 3080 on board with this too as well so this is a powerful
gaming laptop how is it going to compare with this even test here with just taking a look at the
performance in davinci resolve and then the export times of both of these now to point
out here that both of these systems are running on ac power magsafe is connected they both have the
latest firmware updates still on windows 10 here i haven't converted over to windows 11 so that's not
really going to matter anyway okay so they both had a fresh reboot too so there's nothing running
in the background there's no silly windows updates going on and both really up to date there and good
so what i'll do first is launch davinci resolve at the same time just to check on the performance now
davinci resolve here version 17 that i'm running so the latest for the m1 support
so here we go uh let's do this at the same time so i've got to double tap and just time this there
we go all right so clearly the mac book m1 pro polti head there very quick to load that but the
sometimes have noticed that with the m1 pro the initial first loads of applications can be
terribly slow and you sometimes second you get guess yourself and go actually did i load it
so spot the difference can you pick up on it what is going on here with the colors of the video only
the video with the macbook pro here so it looks fine on the windows pc okay so the msi is looking
good the gt66 the phone that i'm holding is orange it's not yellow it's yellow here and my face looks
green now this is something to do with my sony a6400 files because i had this exact same
problem in adobe premiere pro so it's not related to these programs but it's the os
itself so i don't know what is going on why this is happening here but there's a software
related bug that of course apple needs to fix so that if i go and look at this actual clip now
outside of the program it's not going to show up or orange and fun and yellow so let's have a
look at the tabs here so going over to the edit tab look how quick that loads in now i'll do
the same go over to edit here from the cut tab and see how that video is taking a little bit
longer to load in it's like this throughout just the overall performance of that m1 pro
apple silicon hair is just doing so much better so if i go over now into this is on the windows
pc just over to the different tabs loading those in i clicked and you can see how long that took
to come in there okay so i'll do the same now with this so that's the fusion tab okay pretty quick
and color that was laggy on the windows 10 pc so clicking that look at that it's instantaneous
and this is just throughout all right i could go on and on and show you even more of this
but all the tabs all the editing everything i do timelines okay but look at that actually a little
bit of the timeline here and edit uh everywhere is just so much better the overall performance
and i have the settings on both of these all set to 4k for the project so that's the preview that's
the export that i'll be doing shortly now just to show the speed of that but by far hands down
the m1 pro here impressive performance just editing very basic edits that i'm doing here
by the way you can see the standout difference now compared to the windows 10 pc so if i go over back
to the edit tab here and show you the timeline or this one it's it's a little bit laggy okay you can
see that it's i'm trying to go as fast as possible and it's slowing down this is with an rtx 3080 and
that core i7 and it's getting even choppier look that's just general performance it's so noticeable
the m1 pro is just walking all over the intel and windows 10 pc so i'm back here now the cut tab and
i just want to go to the quick export option which is right there at the top okay a little hard to
see this is the preset i'm going to go with is the youtube one that i want okay so youtube and
i do have their uh uhd okay that's selected there and it is 30 frames per second duration 17 minutes
56 seconds on the windows pc now i'm not going to hit export just yet i want to do them both
at the same time let's go over to the mac now and you can see here the same exact settings so
that's uhd 17 minutes 56 seconds at just shy of 30 frames per second the youtube preset
time is right down here and i will hit start just after i hit the export at the same time here
and it'll give us a rough idea what we can expect performance wise so just lining this up export and
export okay let's do this uh at the same time one two three okay and of course i need to save
all right timeline that's going to be on to the uh the desktop right here save as timeline one
timeline one yeah that's fine okay we'll do that at the same time as well save there we
go we are away and the timer whoops that was about two seconds delay there okay one minute in
and the windows 10 pc here is reporting 38 minutes remaining with the rtx 3080 and let's look over at
the mac now so one minute 44 in and eight minutes remaining on the mac only look at that difference
and just looking at the windows 10 pc it's still reporting well 38 minutes and this is now under 8
minutes wow wow that is so quick it just shows you when that m1 pro is optimized with the same exact
software massive differences here now the other factor to definitely consider is what about heat
and fan noise well right now i can hear that my gaming laptop here with the rtx 3080 is getting
a bit loud and i'll give you a sample of it right now just hold out my mic to it which is a lav mic
the m1 pro powered macbook pro 16 inch version is making no noise if i hold a mic up to it you're
going to hear the noise from that msi ge66 so it's just getting it's barely even warm to the
touch there at the top and yeah that's getting pretty hot now the top of that msi gaming laptop
just over five minutes in and we're looking at 33 minutes remaining on the windows 10 pc
and we just have now four minutes and 30 seconds just under with the macbook now what you do
want to focus on is the render speed which is always about 52 frames per second on the macbook
pro here and then with our core i7 11th gen 11 800h around bouncing between 18 frames per
second and sometimes 20 21 frames per second with the rendering speed ouch that's a huge difference
there we are talking over double performance on that m1 pro versus the rtx 3080 gaming laptop
so here we go the macbook is finishing up remember this is the m1 pro version sorry i do not have the
m1 max that would probably be even quicker so what time is it going to do it in the 18
minutes to the 4k youtube preset there we go 10 minutes okay so it only took 10 minutes to encode
an 18 minute clip there meanwhile looking at my pc here running windows 10 that still needs another
22 minutes and i am seriously about to fall asleep waiting for this to finish 18 seconds
left but take a look there at the render speed what's happening on the intel here that msi ge 66
down to 14 15 frames per second so it is about to finish up we've got six seconds left and
34 minutes here oh that's crazy so there we go it has done 34 minutes and 34 seconds versus just
shy of 10 minutes on the m1 pro powered macbook pro 16 inch model wow massive difference
and just very quickly to touch on that issue that i have with the colors of my video only in these
editing applications looking all strange a lot of people came to me and said that hey check your
color profile is it not set to be correct here is it the spyder pro 5's color profile interfering
well i've actually got it closed now and i'm not running it maybe it is the spider 5 pro that's
affecting the colors making it look wrong but it's just the video clips which is really weird because
the rest of it everything else if you have a look everything else the colors look correct there's
nothing wrong with that it's only the video so something to do with just the videos being
affected if it was spider 5 pro it would also affect the whole screen or the color profile would
be the whole screen so i believe it's a apple bug because it cannot possibly be i don't think it
could be apple and also our black magic with their da vinci resolve both having the same weird color
issue and then that exported video when i play it the colors are correct otherwise this would look
yellow my face would be all orange and you can see it works for the last week that is top dog
now that was completely unexpected i double checked everything i looked to make sure that
yes i exported at the same preset yes it was the same just blown away by the fact that this took
10 minutes to do 18 minutes of footage in davinci resolve and then this one
34 minutes wow i would i would never have thought that okay i'm a windows pc guy and i can clearly
see now that if you use davinci resolve uh you want to get a mac you really do you want to get
the apple silicon you want to get a m1 or m1 pro or the m1 max really it's that simple because the
performance not only just the export times but the performance in the timelines and the editing
tab and the color grading you saw as i swapped between them as i switched everything would just
load in almost instantaneously on the m1 where this would be like chugging away even though it's
got pcie 4 a samsung 980 pro in this model here and the rtx 380. made absolutely no difference
i'm just i'm i'm mind-blowing here that's just wow wow wow wow so there we go
if you want to see geekbench cinebench r23 and a 3d mark test then check out my first video
where i did an apples to oranges comparison like this video so thank you for watching
and do subscribe for more upcoming videos from me and if i can get my hands on the m1 max version of
this model or the 14 inch one i will certainly do a similar benchmark or comparison here
