Hi, I have a dash cam that saves files in H264 or H265. When I take these files to my M1 Max MacBook Pro, they play very choppy in Quicklook, not at all in Quicktime Play and very very badly in iMovie. The identical files on my 2015 MacBook Pro play perfectly. Its a VanTop H210 front and...

Within the next two/three months I am going to need to upgrade from my 21.5 inch late 2013 iMac. I work with stock photography and video and use my iMac for editing photography and now some 4k video too (mostly I do selection and organising, editing metadata, resizing submissions of images)...

Is there an app that offers the following basic features? 1. Playback from a NAS. 2. Playback from RTSP feeds (e.g. from ONVIF IP cameras). 3. Picture in Picture. 4. Nice and simple interface.

Hi All, I've recently joined the classic mac owners club, with three fixer upper SE/30's in various states of decay. Having selected the best logic board of the three, with no leaking caps or exploded battery. I've cleaned and recapped it. Not yet recapped the analog board or PSU but have...

Hi, I just received my Studio Ultra with 64c GPU, 2TB SSD and 128GB RAM. But I also ordered a standard one: 48c GPU, 1TB SSD, 64GB RAM that should arrive soon. Now I have ten days to choose which one I keep. I use it for postproduction with Davinci Resolve. The maxed out clearly rivals the...

2019 16 inch MacBook Pro with "Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB" integrated graphics and "AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB" discreet graphics. I usually only use discreet graphics (I turn off auto graphics switching) so I didn't notice this until now, but when I use integrated graphics, YouTube videos...

iPadOS is not ready to be a laptop replacement for professional creatives if it can't handle basic tasks like copying files from a SD/microSD card. This has occurred multiple times across many months and multiple iPadOS updates: 1. Take microSD card (exFAT format) from GoPro/drone (videos...

I've been using iMovie forever... since it first came out. I still have a copy of iMovie HD I use from time to time on an old G4 tower. I have Premiere at my disposal, but I've always liked the quick-simplicity of iMovie. I am up an running on the a Mac Studio, base MAX option. I have never had...

I have VideoDuke to download a Web video. It downloads as hundreds of 5-s long MPEG-2 Transport Streams (.ts files). They can be individually opened by QuickTime Player, and I could, in principle, edit them and splice them together individually, reassemble the video and finally export it as an...

I think I must be missing something. When I use the Music app, I can adjust the music volume with a slider at the top of the application's window. I use this to keep my music's volume much lower than I do my system sounds. However, if I open a music video in that application, the slider...

I bought into the apple eco-system in 80s and 90s because things "just worked". I'm starting to question that loyalty. I finally upgraded to a MBP 14" after nursing a beautiful 2010 13" MBP along. Of course many things don't work anymore. But the most irritating issue so far is as follows...

Hi folks! First of all sorry for my poor english ? I need your help just to discard a problem with my unit 13 Pro Max before to take it to an Apple Store… My problem is with the autofocus recording videos… When I start a video with te 1x lens and want to close up something, the iPhone don’t...

I ordered a M1 Max Mac Studio with 1TB of storage. I’m wondering what others are going to use for external storage. I’ll be doing video editing 4K video so will need some kind of additional working space.

Unfortunately, my office suffered a power surge recently and I lost some equipment; modem, dongles, switcher, etc. However, my M1 Macbook Pro survived. It works fine except it has issues with anything to do with audio and video, that is, I can't play any audio or video. For example, I can't...

Hey everyone, quick question. If you're working in office or perhaps at your home office, aside from the built-in webcams on the M1 Laptops, which web camera or video conferencing devices are you using? Which one would you recommend? I'm looking for some 4K alternatives, but Logitech seems to...

I recently upgraded my 2020 iMac and it no longer allows me to encode to HEVC using Hardware Acceleration (Video Toolbox). I've tried this using ffWorks and a program called VideoProc. I've been using this functionality for 18 months now, and after upgrading the Monterey, it stopped working. Is...

While the M1 Max MacBook Pro is remarkable in a lot of ways, including noiseless operation and a chassis that remains astonishingly cool even when performing demanding tasks, apps that open with lightning rapidity and blazingly quick rendering times, its suitability as a video editing...

Hi, I’m getting into video editing and I’d like to buy a 4k monitor but I understand these are problematic on Macs due to the issues with scaling. Is it true that fonts look way too small on the screens? I’m pretty old and now have to wear glasses and I peer at monitors even now. I was...

A very cool look at macOS through the years.

Hello, everyone I'm a very loyal Apple user, therefore there's no phone for me other than the iPhone, and I recently upgraded from an Iphone XR to a 13 and I love it. Everything about the phone is amazing, especially the screen (once again, coming from the very cheaply made XR). There's one...
