1. Amazing. Thanks!

2. Seriously… Who uses that batterycase? Its hideous!

   • +alterswede I use it proudly 🙂

   • He uses whatever he wants 🙂

   • +weringo ofcourse! great video as always btw

   • my bro likes his

   • It’s integrated with iOS… Maybe one day Apple will release a
     “BatteryCaseKit” for third parties…

3. mice

   • nice

   • mouse

4. Nice demo. Would also like to point out that the performance through FCPX
   might not be best represented through the screen recording, as doing screen
   capture also takes up resources to be able to record what’s being shown.
   Just an FYI if anyone is curious as I know some people will bring it up!

   • +Sam Woodhall right! Especially on sierra beta

   • Indeed! Nice to see more FCPX love. It’s a fantastic NLE.

5. which intel core do you use? m5 or m7?

   • +Danielonn81 m5

6. Someone sent me the link to this video and I’m glad they did because this
   is an excellent tutorial!

   • +Jukebox Dragon glad u enjoyed

7. Step 1. Buy a $300 program

   • +YakLivesMatter step 2. Save a boatload of cash because it’s a one time fee
     with perpetual updates.

   • brb emptying savings account for those sweet sweet perpetual updates XD

8. In your face, Linus!

   • Good one lol

9. Thank you

10. Really enjoyed this. Never knew this option existed. Thank you!

11. Is this meant for if you’re trying to render 4k in a pinch that you can do
    it on a macbook or does doing it this way actually save time vs editing it
    without using proxy media on a macbook?

12. can you please tell what screen recorder software you’re using?

    • Probably Screenflow

    • +David Unterrainer Is there anyway to record screen while installing any
      operating system? I do videos on Operating system installations

    • +Watch Me Tech Not as far as I know

13. Nice review! Which is better premiere pro or fcpx?

14. yeah proxy on 4K raw media. It takes a lot of storage space & high
    processing power when encoding/creating proxy. It is strongly recommended
    to use external RAID Thunderbolt storage for 4K workflow. So the
    application can use more bandwidth on the internal drive, uninterruptible.

    Even high end vfx/editing with dual xeon using FC RAID Array for 4K
    workflow & Proxies

15. A really excellent tutorial. More please!

16. As if the 12″ MacBook was made for all these editing? It was made for using
    Office for Mac, iTunes, Apple Music Consumption at most!

17. Can the same be done with Premiere? If so can someone suggest a video? I’m
    amazed how well FCP runs on that little macbook, Premiere is brought to its
    knees on my i7 13″ MBP

    • your i7 mbp is far more powerful than the 12″ macbook…what are your
      specs?you should know that maxing out your RAM is always very helpful and
      using SSDs can increase very much the exporting process 🙂

    • +GKS960 Yes, but Premiere is horribly inefficient. 16GB, 3.1 i7, SSD. I’m
      lucky to get 1FPS when editing.

    • ooh ! it seems a bit odd! maybe a clean install of OSX could help? I helped
      some months ago a friend maxing out his macbook pro( i7 model too,sandy
      bridge or ivy bridge can’t really remember) who used it for adobe suite as
      well( photoshop,premiere etc).i installed him 16GB of RAM,replaced the DVD
      drive with a caddy and the HDD…so 2 SSDs in RAID (i think samsung EVOs
      500GB) and he has told me that he got a great performance boost…i made
      him a clean install of el cap…) but really can’t understand why you get
      bad performance…i mean this macbook uses a SoC and you got an i7…anyway
      the only thing i can think is a software thing…try making a clean
      install(if you prefer,on a spare HDD/SSD) and see if it helps… 😉 cheers!
