This might have been brought up somewhere, but I was just wondering if anyone was able to use an egpu for their macbook (pre M1) to allow for playback and final cut smooth scrubbing specifically for xavc hs 4k files from an a7siii?
Im currently on a maxed out imac 2017, and I was looking to get a razer core egpu case + some EGPU (hoping 5700 xt) to be able to edit my xavc hs files from my a7siii without transcoding proxies or play back from VLC/quicktime. I do not want to bootcamp at the moment
I am using my ipad pro 2018 at the moment to edit since the chip has hardware acceleration for it.
If you have tried an 5700xt egpu for your mac and it has not worked (or worked well) for xavc hs files, please let me know. Or similarly, if you have a graphics card that does work with playback, please let me know.
Thank you,
Jeff
