I only edit lightly for an hour or two at a time, or I move it to my iMac for more serious jobs. The way I use my current 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2016), I haven’t necessarily put it through these sustained tests. Essentially, it’s a realistic choice for most video editing needs and is close to being the top-of-the line machine-though you could opt for 64GB of RAM if you feel you need it. We picked up the 2.4GHz Intel® Core™ i9 8-Core model with 32GB RAM and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB GDDR6.
IS THE MAC PRO GOOD FOR MOVIE EDITING FULL
While we found out that the last generation’s design didn’t quite hold up to the heat during intense applications of constantly running the machine at full power, this new model appears to be the first MacBook Pro that is up to the task of a sustained editing workflow.

With no unnecessary hardware restrictions, the new 16" comes in configurations with up to an 8-core processor, 64GB RAM, and AMD Radeon Pro 5000M series graphics with up to 8GB GDDR6 VRAM. Apple seems to have finally realized this with its most recent crop of MacBook Pros. It isn’t something that can be solved by adding a single new component. Video editing demands a great deal from mobile machines. A new screen, new thermal architecture, new internals, a new battery, and a new keyboard all come together to create the best laptop Apple has ever made. We finally received some superior power with the most recent release, but catching up in specs just isn’t enough these days-this is why the 16" MacBook Pro is such a significant release. Many video editors I know rely on a MacBook Pro as their personal, everyday machine, and many video editors I know also have been wanting a lot more from the MacBook Pro over the past few years.
