Is anyone out there trying out Resolve 17.1b Studio on an Apple Mac mini M1 16Gb and Big Sur? If so, my 2 questions are:
1. Is it capable of some serious editing and color grading? Where does it tapper off (number of nodes, timeline length, NR, etc.)? How is it compared to a Windows 10 PC with an i7 6 core 3.2Ghz, 32Gb RAM, and a 1080ti GPU card? I'm just trying to get a feel of what it can be useful for.
2. Is it possible to turn on dual displays on a single ultra-wide monitor?
I've been searching YouTube for any similar reviews and if anyone here is ahead of the pack with using the M1 with Resolve 17.1b, such info will be helpful to me and possibly others. I'm looking to get a second workstation set up for documentary and short form narrative, and occasional feature length (80-120minutes) timeline. The mini M1 can provide some mobility for me. Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to mentioned that for this setup, I'm just looking to work on UMP G2 4.6K BRAW @ 24fps and P6K 5.7K BRAW @ 24fps on a 1080 timeline and render at 1080 for most of the project. Render time is irrelevant to me so it can take its sweet time to render.
I also found this YT video that tested some on the Apple Air M1 + DVR 17.1b, where the M1 is just the base model w/ 8Gb. I intend to get the mini with 16Gb and max drive sizes.
Your helpful experience and thoughts are appreciated before I drop a chunk of change for it. Buy or not to buy?
