  • Mac Studio Base Model Compatible w MC?

    Posted by Trevor Ambrose on July 13, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    Hi folks,

    Quick question. Is the Mac Studio base model fully compatible with Avid. Will it run smoothly for normal scripted offline editing?

    The base model has an M1 max chip with 32 gig of unified memory (Ram). It has a 10 core CPU and a 24 core GPU.

    Will this Mac age well in terms of future Avid software?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hey ambrose

    The Mac Studio base model with the M1 Max chip and 32 GB of unified memory should be capable of running Avid Media Composer smoothly for normal scripted offline editing. The M1 Max chip has impressive processing power and the 24-core GPU should provide excellent graphics performance. However, it’s worth noting that Avid Media Composer has not yet been optimized for the M1 chip, so performance may not be as fast as on an Intel-based Mac or a Windows PC.

    In terms of future compatibility with Avid software, it’s difficult to say for sure how well the Mac Studio base model will age. However, Apple has been making a push towards using its own custom silicon, like the M1 and M1 Max chips, and Avid has stated that it is working on optimizing its software for these chips. As such, it’s possible that the Mac Studio base model could work well with future versions of Avid Media Composer, but it’s always wise to check for compatibility before upgrading your software or hardware.

    Best regards

    Shahan

    Hello Trevor

    The Mac Studio base model with an M1 Max chip, 32 GB of unified memory, a 10-core CPU, and a 24-core GPU should be capable of running Avid smoothly for normal scripted offline editing. However, it’s always recommended to check Avid’s minimum system requirements and compare them with the specifications of the Mac Studio before making a purchase.

    Regarding the future, it’s difficult to predict how well this Mac will age with future Avid software as it depends on the software’s system requirements and the Mac’s ability to handle them. But given the current specifications, it should be able to handle future Avid software for a while.
