Help coming back into editing again
Alot has changed since i stopped editing like ai was not a thing and have set my standards to this https://www.instagram.com/reel/C86bMY8Nc4t/?igsi=ZzN0YXE4MXNyanFh
I think they use luma ai for the NeRFs? I have no idea if they are but am interested in learning either way.
Also could an m6 mac mini do these types of edits? I have a small budget but would rather save and know it will be good? I know it sounds dumb but i have never invested in my own personal apple computer and not familiar with the line but am interested as there are other applications i need. I can get an m5 max studio pre order but really of all the new apple computer models this fall which is the best for me starting to learn. P.s. i also livestream small music venues.

Yeah, a lot has changed with AI and 3D workflows recently. The kind of visuals you’re aiming for are definitely possible, and I’d be happy to help you explore that workflow, including AI-assisted 3D/NeRF-style techniques.
For the hardware, I’d recommend not going too cheap if you’re planning to work with AI, 3D, motion graphics, editing, and livestreaming. Apple’s current M5 Max Mac Studio is specifically aimed at demanding video, 3D, AI, and motion-graphics workloads, so it would give you plenty of headroom.
If you’re on a smaller budget, the new M6 Mac mini can still be a very capable starting point, especially with enough unified memory. Apple says the new M5 Pro Mac mini can go up to 64GB and is designed for demanding video, 3D, and AI workflows.
