M5 MacBook Pro as a Main Video Editing Rig

In this video I tested wether or not I could use the base model M5 Macbook pro as a primary video editing work computer. Ive recently switched to shooting 8k video so editing has become more demanding, but by using ProRes Proxy files and sacrificing SSD space for CPU/GPU overhead, this computer can handle it easily!

the homebrew command for ‘macmon’ : brew install vladkens/tap/macmon

I also use TG Pro for automatic fan tuning so M5 never overheats: https://www.tunabellysoftware.com?fpr=nicholas82
