There's no cheap way out except with a used Mac that you can upgrade far enough. It's just the nature of 2K/4K video editing, which is resource-intensive no matter how you do it. If you switch to one of Premiere's competitors, the requirements would be similar. That means you are probably taking about a 15" MacBook Pro, which does not come cheap.

Any new Mac laptop can technically start up a pro video editing application like Premiere Pro.but if you actually want to enjoy editing, that laptop needs to have at least 8GB RAM, 4 cores would be nice, supported graphics for GPU acceleration, and a ton of fast storage internally, and externally for media files. It's a similar situation with the Mac laptops. For 4K you'll need at least 8GB RAM, graphics supported for GPU acceleration, and big, fast storage internally and externally. You spec the system with the power needed to achieve smooth 4K editing, and then you hand over your credit card. If you need to edit 4K video, with multiple video and audio tracks, and video/audio effects, then there is really is no skimping. But even that near-base 4K iMac still only has an internal hard drive, which is really slow for video editing, so now you either upgrade that to an SSD or attach a fast external SSD.extra cost either way. For example, there's the base iMac, but it only 2 cores and integrated graphics, so it's worth adding $200 to get the quad-core 4K iMac with the Radeon Pro video card. In fact, the cheaper the Mac you get, the more likely it is that you will have to upgrade it to edit a lot of video. If you're assembling simple 2K cuts/fades with one or two audio tracks, and not many visual/audio effects, maybe a new budget Mac could work.but you still need to look over the specs. It's hard to say without knowing what kind of video you are trying to edit, so you should mention an example or two of the kinds of projects you want to do. The new MacBook/Or IMac with no upgrades? Anything you suggest? I do most of my Premiere editing on a desktop Mac with a proper graphics card in it. The CPUs will max out, it will run hot, and your fans will spin noisily all the time.

This is a major argument for getting a new computer because Premiere Pro and other Adobe software increasingly use graphics acceleration which our old Macs don't support.Įven if you upgrade your 2011, if it's like mine, video editing on today's software will push it to the edge. Unfortunately, there is nothing you or I can do about the old graphics cards in our 2011 MacBook Pros. Do not skimp on drive space video editing generates many GB of temporary files during editing (to enhance performance). For video editing, make it a big SSD (512GB or 1TB depending on how much video you need to edit). This will make the machine feel much newer and faster, and make video editing somewhat tolerable. If yours still has an internal hard drive, replace it with a solid state drive (SSD). You only have 4GB, and these days, 4GB is hardly enough to run simple applications, and that little RAM will totally choke Premiere or any other major Adobe application. Upgrade to at least 8GB RAM (I think your Mac will take 16GB RAM). If you think there might be enough life left in your 2011 MacBook Pro to put some money into it, here are some ideas: Given the specs you stated for your MacBook Pro, and if it only has a hard drive inside, it's going to be slow and unpleasant to run Premiere Pro on it. Premiere works fine on mine because I've upgraded my Mac over the years. And a pretty basic experience compared to the computers out now. I do a modest amount of HD editing on my 2011 MacBook Pro, and works fine, but nothing special.
