Not normally. Unless of course you have all of your processes linked and running to your mac hard drive which isn’t smart. I’m running mine on a macbook pro and I’m fine because I invested just $90 in to a 2TB (2000GB) external hard drive so my laptop runs fast and won’t get junked up. I link all of my videos to the external so that nothing really goes onto my macbook except the actually running of the program. Without the external attached, I can’t edit but it is sooooo worth it because not only will it not junk up my college laptop with all of my papers, etc. but there are rarely ever problems. Look on ebay for them and you can get a good deal like mine
