M5 Ultra Mac Studio’s value for video creators

After a week with the M5 Ultra Mac Studio, a video creator calls it the most powerful computer they've ever used—but argues its improvements now target local AI rather than their video workflow.

TLDR

A video creator says the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is a great computer, but almost completely unnecessary for creators like them who aren't doing 3D work. They say they can't make Final Cut do anything with 256GB of unified memory that it couldn't do with 128GB, and point to Apple's emphasis on local AI apps and use cases. Their verdict after a week: the machine is exceptionally powerful, but similar video creators don't need to spend the $10K-plus this Mac costs.

Marques Brownlee@MKBHDBeen using the M5 Ultra Mac Studio for the past week and predictably it is the most powerful computer I've ever used. At this point, the improvements are not even targeted at me (a video creator) anymore. They're targeted at being the best machines for local AI work. There's nothing I can make Final Cut do with 256GB of unified memory that it couldn't do with 128GB It's been fascinating to see how even the way Apple talk about the computer over the years has changed. The name studio did a lot of lifting, and they showed off 3D, video workflows, development, etc. Now the site is FULL of local AI apps and use cases. So I'm also happy to report it's a great computer that's almost completely unnecessary for every video creator like me that's not doing 3D work. You do not need to spend the $10K+ that this Mac costs. But if you do? It absolutely rips.20d
