So currently I am on an imac 2017 spec’d out, but it can’t run xavc hs smoothly through vlc/quicktime/final cut pro. I think I’ve seen reviews where even macbook pro 16s from 2019/2020 run that codec with stutter since it’s such a complicated codec.
Just wondering if anyone has found a workaround to getting their intel macbooks to run video files in that specific codec (xavc hs 4k 4:2:2, not 4:2:0)? Like through EGPU or some other hardware accessory? I am transcoding files into proxy files at the moment, but it takes up a lot of space and takes time
I am not interested in the current M1 macbooks since I would probably prefer waiting for the m1x or later versions. Just trying to see if there are workarounds for editing a7siii files
