@anildash yes, Mac Studio is absurdly overpowered for that task. I have an M1 Ultra Mac Studio, and it is still so fast that I feel dumb for buying it. I don't even like the SD card port. I need the mini ones a lot.
Maybe it will matter for VR or After Effects 3D graphics.
@sayrer I dunno, 9 simultaneous takes of full-res broadcast footage? With Dolby mix down soundtrack? It’s wild that they’re not even using a base-level Studio to do it.
