Last weekend, before I went to the hospital again, I purchased the base Apple M2 Mac mini. I wanted to start learning how to use Final Cut Pro on an Apple computer. I had used FCP X about 7-8 years ago before completely switching to an Apple iPad Pro. Apple released FCP for the iPad Pro last year but that app is just not there. There is really no good colour or audio correction on the iPad Pro.
Apple was also still running on Intel chips in those days. No M series chips back in the 2010's. I've been working on an iPad Pro for the last 4 or 5 years or so.
On the weekends that I'm home in between hospital visits where I learn how to walk with my prosthetic, I've been learning how to FCP X on the Mac mini. Although pretty fast, much faster than an Intel based computer, it's not so good for video editing longer videos and adding edits such as video noise removal, and colour correction. The iPad Pro with the M2 chip, 2TB of storage and 16GB of RAM is much, much faster.
This coming week, I'm getting about 2 years worth of back pay from my job. The plan is to buy a MacBook Pro with at least 2TB of storage and 64GB of RAM and an M3 Max chip on the inside. I am hoping that is much more of a capable machine to handle 4k video editing.
I'm planning on using either my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max with an external Samsung T7 2TB drive and editing off of that with the MacBook Pro.
