#MAC VS WINDOWS VIDEO EDITING PRO#

For example, with 4K RED 11:1 footage the iMac Pro 14-core went from 24FPS to 6FPS without any effects being applied to the footage.Įven when using OpenCL you will get a bump in FPS with a PC.

We found that using Metal with a Mac is a bad idea for playback performance and found a 20-30% drop in FPS with most of our test media, and a massive drop in FPS with RED footage when using Metal on the Mac system. We also decided to calculate the average performance of each system relative to the 10-core iMac Pro using OpenCL.

It can be a challenge to accurately test live playback performance because performance depends on the codec and resolution of your media, as well as the playback resolution (full, half, etc.) and the effects you’ve applied.Īt BIZON we often get asked about live playback performance, so we decided to test our media with three different timelines, as well as with a full and half playback resolution.

Our tests also used three different timelines to stimulate different types of workload. To compare the systems, we tested three different functions in Premiere Pro: live playback, export, and render in to out.Īlthough we didn’t cover every available codec, we covered a large number of RED clips so that we could really see how different compression levels impact performance. As the iMac Pro requires a keyboard and mouse, we also bought a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for the Mac Pro and PC. For example, as Mac systems only support a single internal drive, we used a single 1TB PCI-E SSD drive on our BIZON Workstation PC, rather than multiple storage drives, which improve performance when generating peak files and importing media.

We also found major performance issues with Premiere Pro CC 2019 (ver 13.1), with performance drops in ProRes footage on the PC and RED footage on the Mac when using versions 13.1 and 13.1.1.įor a fair comparison we kept the specs and pricing as similar as possible. We used version 13.1 of Premiere Pro, as the latest version wasn’t released at the time of this article.

To find out whether a PC or Mac is a best video editing workstation, we took three iMac systems and a PC workstation of a similar price and tested them across performance for live playback, render in to out, and export. With performance being the most important factor when deciding between a PC or a Mac, we take a look at why a PC is a better option to use Adobe’s Premiere Pro video editing application compared to a Mac or iMac Pro 2019. The rise in 4K, 6K, and 8K workflows makes optimum performance a necessity for many people, so it is essential to make the right choice when considering a computer. Whatever you use your Mac or Workstation PC for, performance is important to help you manage your workflow, to ensure your game runs smoothly, for high-quality sound and graphics, and to edit videos efficiently. While there are many reasons our customers want a change, it usually comes down to one major factor, performance. At BIZON we often get many customers who want to switch from a Mac to a PC Workstation.
