Hi!
Im using the Macbook Pro 14" M1 pro 16GB with resolve and the free ver. I know 16 GB is really low but will it run better on the studio version?

regards Christian

The studio version has two specific places where it can provide better performance: support for hardware encoding/decoding of certain codecs which is handled in software in the free version, and support for multiple-GPU setups.

Support for multiple GPUs is useless on Apple Silicon right now because the OS only supports the one built-in to the SOC, so that won't help you.

The only place you *might* get some performance benefit is in the support for hardware encoding/decoding, and whether or not that kicks in (assuming you are not actually getting it in the free version, as on the Mac it will do that anyway for some codecs) depends heavily on what specific codecs your media is in.

Unless you hit a very specific set of conditions to benefit from the hardware encoding/decoding it is unlikely that you will see a significant performance benefit when updating to the studio version on Apple Silicon.
