If the purchase of a monitor isn't a deal-breaker, there's the $1,600-and-up Studio Display, but there are less-expensive options as well.Įditing unrendered footage on Final Cut Pro X with the Mac Studio felt smooth and responsive. Now, if you don't already own a monitor, then the Mac Studio may not be as much of a deal as I find it to be. It would have been an easy decision to grab a Mac Studio for my home office and use the older 16-inch MacBook Pro (2016) I already owned as an on-the-go editing system. That's a significant price difference, and the fact that I already own a great 5K display, keyboard and mouse means it wouldn't require a lot of extra purchases. The base model of the Mac Studio, which has the more powerful M1 Max chip, starts at $2,000 and would cost another $200 for the same 1TB upgrade. The M1 Pro 14-inch cost about $2,500 (with a 1TB storage upgrade). Had the Mac Studio come out alongside the new MacBook Pros, I most likely would have opted to go for that instead. An Intel-powered Mac Pro desktop would have been overkill for my editing needs, not to mention way too expensive for my budget. I purchased the 14-inch when it was first released in late 2021, and at the time it felt like my best option. My editing workstation at home is powered by the M1 Pro 14-inch MacBook Pro. It's connected to a 27-inch LG Ultrafine 5K monitor, and I'm using a Thunderbolt 3 dock to connect all my devices to my laptop with a single cable. My current setup consists of a 2021 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. I've built an ideal workstation: a standing desk, an ergonomic chair, a large 5K monitor and a nice set of speakers to blast my edits and easily mix projects. I always prioritize my at-home video-editing setup because it's where I edit most. In fact, I'll be coming out with a video on the reasons why I choose to use it in the coming weeks.įinal Cut only supports MacOS, so when the Mac Studio was announced it definitely caught my eye.

I've edited on all major NLEs (nonlinear editing systems) from Avid to Premiere, and I've found Final Cut to be the fastest and most efficient editing software for my needs. Ultimately, I'm a Final Cut Pro X editor. In the three years prior to joining CNET, I ran my own tech YouTube channel where I edited nearly all my videos. I worked in Hollywood for seven years editing and producing sizzle reels and pilots for TV development, worked on a video series for Spotify and edited digital content for America's Got Talent.

I've been a professional video editor for nearly a decade. The Mac Studio and Studio Display are an aesthetically pleasing pair. It's right in the name: "Studio." Apple designed the machine from the inside out to cater to creators and their creative workspaces.Īs a long-time content creator, I wanted to see how the new Mac Studio and the companion 27-inch Studio Display related to my current setup and workflow, especially as this is Apple's least expensive pro desktop, now that the iMac Pro is no more. The new Mac Studio desktop from Apple is geared toward a very specific demographic.
