Mac mojave vs catalina10/31/2023 I love this guitar device and don't plan to replace it for years in the future. For example, the editor/librarian for my Vox Tonelab Guitar pedalboard will never be updated. In my case, I would lose the ability to run a couple little apps that are only 32bit and will probably never be updated to 64bit. Otherwise you are likely to break something you have that only runs 32bit. In any case, I see no point at all in upgrading to Catalina unless it has a specific new feature you need. However other people are saying next LogicPro will be LogicPro11, and My guess is that LogicPro 11 will require Big Sur. Many people would say that will be the next version of LogicPro perhaps. So far, though, there’s no big performance improvement in Compressor’s compression speed when updating to Catalina and running Metal 2.I see no point whatever of upgrading to Catlina until/unless Apple tells me I can't upgrade LogicPro unless I upgrade to catalina. This is just a first look, I want to re-run my tests to make sure I’m getting consistent results. As well, future tests will show what performance impact Catalina has, if any, on Adobe Media Encoder compression speeds. No change in compressed file sizes for H.264, slightly smaller files with the latest version of Compressor running on Catalina. Here are the numeric results for file size. That bug was fixed in Catalina with the 4.4.6 update to Compressor. As the Mojave version of Compressor failed to compress ProRes 4444 files into HEVC 10-bit, I excluded those results from this table. NOTE: These speeds only represent files that were able to be compressed. Also, based on the results published in my earlier article, Adobe Media Encoder remains significantly faster than Compressor, especially given these new numbers. Catalina is represented by green bars, shorter bars are faster. H.264 compressed file sizes are the same, while HEVC compressed file sizes are slightly smaller in Catalina. The short answer is that the latest version of Apple Compressor running on Catalina is slightly slower across all tests than Compressor running on Mojave. ![]() The Catalina tests used Compressor 4.4.6. ![]() I ran these theses on the same computer (an i5) using the same data files and same compression settings using Apple Compressor. While Compressor still takes about twice as long as Adobe Media Encoder to compress the same file into 10-bit HEVC, at least, now, Compressor is able to complete the job. This is just a first look, as I haven’t had time to check the speed of Adobe Media Encoder with Catalina.įirst, though, I want to report that a bug in Compressor that prevented it from compressing ProRes 4444 files into 10-bit HEVC has been fixed in Catalina. So, this week, I decided to revisit my Compressor speed test from October, 2019, to see what changed. Both Final Cut Pro X and Compressor were recently upgraded to support it. One of the new features in macOS Catalina is a revised graphics engine called Metal 2. ![]() This new article has updated numbers for Apple Compressor and now includes Adobe Media Encoder. BIG NOTE: This article has been updated and replaced by – Video Compression Speed Test.
