Hi, I want to buy the new Mac Studio to replace my IMac Pro. Based on the reviews I’ve read so far, it seems that the M1 Max is enough for 4K grading and video editing, and that the Ultra is only worth it for heavy VFX or 3D work (which I don’t do).

I’m considering the M1 Max with 32 GPU. Do you think the 64gb extra memory is worth getting? I currently have 32gb on my IMac Pro. Resolve runs perfectly fine even with complex grades but Premiere Pro has been running very slow on editing projects with mixed footage source / codecs and a couple of effects (stabilising, pre-grade/LUT, titles).

Any thoughts or advice?

Also, I’m not sure about the Studio Display. What alternative monitor would you recommend?

I already have a Eizo calibrated monitor for my grading work. I’ve been looking at Eizo and BenQ options as main editing / GUI monitor but any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

I tried a few different things you suggested and I finally got it to work by doing the following:

I first graded the original image (if I graded it in premiere or AEP it glitched), then I redid the animation in AEP, added a slight gaussian blur and then exported a prores back to premiere. Sometimes when I push the blacks the image starts to flicker again so in that case I did the de-flicker in premiere and it worked.

So happy to have fixed this issue, it was a major problem. You both get a thanks in the film credits.

Cheers
