However, every review video I watch of the M1 and M2 models seems to indicate much better and faster CPU/GPU processing capability on high-load tasks than any i5 model with ddr3 ram, especially from 2018. When it comes to M1/M2 though, I'm a bit lost. I don't use pc's/Windows myself, but my sons all have Windows laptops, and I know the basic limitations of pc graphics cards in regards to gaming and other intensive graphics tasks. This is the confusing part of shared memory for me it seems difficult to relate it to the former standards. Conversely, Quicktime was able to render the video in about 7 minutes, so the ON1 program must be using memory differently. It was running slowly, fans going on the MBP. On six attempts to render the video, the program crashed/quit after processing about 400-500 of the 2494 jpeg image files. I do not know how much RAM the M2 Mini is willing to use for graphics memory (hopefully a lot more than 1536 MB) – but if this ON1 job is causing high memory usage and swap activity on your current 16 GB Mini, I'd expect it to put a high memory/swap load on a 16 GB M2 or M2 Pro Mini.ĭoes ON1 have a user forum? What do people there say about running jobs this large? The CPU and GPU will be competing for the same memory. With the M2 Mini, as with your current Mini, there isn't any dedicated video memory. You say that the problem was that the application crashed on six out of six tries, not that it completed but just ran very, very slowly.īottom line: is there any to tell if an M2 Mini 16/1tb will be able to handle this task? Is this their way of saying that 1536 MB of video RAM (or whatever lesser amount of RAM your 2018 Mini was willing to set aside for the GPU) was not enough? Long story short, I contacted ON1 support and they said the following: Crashes have happened in the past using this feature as well. However, I want to be able to use the feature in ON1 since it's easier to batch edit the image files first, then render the video within the same program.īottom line: is there any to tell if an M2 Mini 16/1tb will be able to handle this task? All the videos I've seen and all the posts I've read here seem to indicate that it will be able to handle such a task with relative ease compared to my current MBP. I don't know how the program handles files during the compilation process, but I do know that Quicktime was able to render the 4k 30p timelapse video in about 7 minutes with much less memory usage. This is on my 2018 MBP i5 16/512 with Intel 655 UHD graphics 1536MB vram. If this is not possible then we can only recommend doing smaller timelapse creations to avoid these hardware constraint issues."īelow is a screenshot of the Activity Monitor, showing high memory and swap memory usage during the compiling process, before it crashed. You would need to add a dedicated graphics card such as an Nvidia 10 or 16 series or an AMD equivalent. "A timelapse that is that large is going to require a bit stronger hardware than the integrated Intel graphics chip. There were just under 2500 jpeg images that I wanted to render into a 4k 30p video. I was recently compiling a large timelapse video using ON1 Photo Raw 2022, which has a tl video render feature (one of the main reasons I purchased the program, as it's one of the few options outside of Adobe that has a full Photo editor with timelapse video rendering included). Ok, last question before I purchase my new Mac mini this week.
