This will often result in a Share Failed error to where I have to start over. The computer will use approximately 1.81 MB of Swap memory. It takes FOREVER to save a video (if it succeeds). This is with only Final Cut Pro and Activity Monitor open. If you are saving a long video in 4K (over 20 minutes or so), or, if you have footage from two different cameras regardless of the duration, the processor will only run at roughly 8% the entire time.So, here’s more of what I’ve learned about this M1. So far, I’m not seeing the performance jump. At least I know it will do the job.Įvery darn YouTube video on M1 Macs claim these things are like magic. Maybe I’ll pick up an Intel MacBook Pro and max out the RAM.

If I can’t whip this thing into shape, it’s back to the drawing board. It must belong to a damn union.Īny fixes or suggestions would be appreciated, my friends.

But, the problem is that the CPU won’t work at, or even near full strength. So, when working in Final Cut Pro, I can’t have any other apps running. The RAM is max’d out if you open one tab in Google Chrome while Final Cut Pro is open. It’s only using around 8% of the CPU while saving a video in Final Cut Pro, and is often giving the old Share Failure warning to where I’ve got to start over. This thing is taking much longer to render 4K60 and 4K30 videos that are 1 hour or more in duration. My expectations were that this thing would smoke my 2017 15″ MacBook Pro (2.9 GHz Quad Core Intel i7, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 560). I bought a Mac Mini M1 with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD.
