It did slow down with big graphics, though. Scrubbing through the timeline was great - I didn’t notice it drop a frame until 3.5 hours in of editing, which is very impressive. On the M1 Max with 32 GPU cores, there was no lag between hitting the spacebar and playing, and Premiere ran noticeably smoother than my iMac or the M1 Pro laptops. Overall, the editing experience was very similar to my regular work machine, a 27-inch iMac from 2019 with an eight-core Intel Core i9, 64GB of RAM, and a Radeon Pro 575x graphics card the M1 Pro machines were actually choppier during 2x timeline playback. It was about one second, as if the computer was thinking before it played. There was also a short but noticeable lag from hitting the spacebar to the timeline actually playing.

It was minor, but after 20 seconds a frame or two would drop.

But to no surprise, when I added graphics and adjustment layers with color, Premiere started dropping frames. > Serial number-> Check your MacBook's version on official website or Google with the SN.Premiere ran smoothly with 4K footage - on both the 14-inch and 16-inch M1 Pro machines, I could play back the timeline at full resolution at 2x speed.
