Is that true? I know that some software does rely heavily on the GPU and some does not. I did search Lost Marble before posting and found some people saying Moho doesn’t rely as much on the GPU. I know it's a little bit vague, but tell me what your gut says? I just wanna know if you guys think THIS spec will work with THIS software for THIS kinda project. Would be VERY grateful for any and all opinions - especially on this particular subject of whether Moho will be hamstrung by the UHD Graphics 630 in the context of the rest of the above spec? Not as interested in hearing about other hardware alternatives, as this purchase is being made for many reasons relating to the project and not just this one important reason. I hear people with the i7 and more RAM don't have any issue. Reducing the playback resolution helped a bit, but at a certain point, the footage just became challenging to work with…” That proved to be a real challenge for the Mini, and the preview playback became increasingly choppy as I added even basic effects.
WHAT IS TURBO BOOST MAC MINI I7 PRO
Premiere Pro (and most editing software) relies heavily on the GPU to render real-time previews once you've started modifying the footage with color and effects.

The limitations of the machine become particularly apparent when I began adding titles and color-correction. It even played back 4K footage from my Sony FS5 with barely a hitch. Cutting footage, moving it around the timeline and basic playback were all smooth. “The Mini performed better than I expected. Yet here is another reviewer, who admittedly is NOT using the same spec - he’s using one with only 8GB of Ram and i3 instead of i7 which makes it far slower - but otherwise it’s the same 2018 Mac Mini. He only mentions the render as being a bit sluggish - and like I say, rendering taking time does not bother me! And even then, it became only a bit sluggish, and I never experienced a single app crash or even a pinwheel.” And it’s been lightning fast in every other regard, choking up only when exporting a 4K file in Adobe Premiere Pro while keeping quite a few other apps open and running simultaneously. “It is dead quiet during the most intensive of tasks, like editing 4K video while concurrently running memory-hogging applications like Chrome, Slack, TweetDeck, and my preferred web Gmail wrapper Wavebox. Part of me thinks the above config will be great, part of me is unsure because everyone complains about this Intel UHD Graphics 630.Ĭonsider what this one reviewer says, when talking about the same model and specs: But I do need to able to use Moho very fluidly and watch the 4k exported results without any problem, either When I am actually using Moho itself and everything that involves, including previewing in Moho, will I have issues? I’m not so concerned about exporting/rendering which I don’t think would be an issue and which I don’t need speed for. But occasionally they do mention ‘video editing’ when complaining about the graphics situation and that’s little a bit close to ‘animating’ for my liking. It’s true they are often referring to ‘gaming’ and ‘100fps’ etc when they make this complaint. Everyone is saying it’s a great machine, except for this component and they are all talking about using external GPUs to make up for it.

The Intel UHD Graphics 630! A lot of reviews of the Mac Mini bitch about this UHD Graphics 630 it has. Looking at the above Mac Mini configuration, I feel reasonably confident that Moho will work smoothly for our project. Now, this new project isn’t vector based - rather it has a 4K ‘painterly’ look based around multiple imported layers and there are 10 main characters, all with a painterly look. I'd appreciate people's opinions on the specs for a Mac Mini we are considering purchasing over the next month to execute a long form project with Moho - which is software we also used a decade ago, for another long form project and back when it was called Anime Studio Pro!ģ.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7 (Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz)
