I do a lot of H.264 1080P encoding with Screenflow, and would very much like to see this encoder speed issue fixed with the higher end Macs with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, and it may possibly exist on the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips also. Did this issue never get resolved by Apple for M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chips, and why is the M1 and M2 so much faster with Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 ? I then tried and Export with Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 turned on my Mac Studio M1 Ultra with 128GB RAM and 4TB SSD drive, on the same hour long 1080P video file, with much slower (maybe 10-20X slower) Hardware Encode speeds. Handbrake for Mac is transcoder software and allows users to convert videos into MP4 or MKV formats easily and quickly. On the Handbrake test, the Air M2 transcoded a 4K video to 1080p in 7 minutes and 52. I tried the H.264 Hardware Encoding (Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 option) on a one hour 1080P, 30 fps video, with Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 option turned on in Screenflow, and it ripped very fast through the encode, faster than I remember the M1 Mac Mini with Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 turned on. Between the MacBook Air M1, MacBook Air M2, the MacBook Pro 13 M2. Since then, I have just upgraded to a new Mac Mini M2 computer (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD drive) that just came out this week, running Screenflow 10.0.8 and the latest macos Ventura version. In HandBrake, it was 12 seconds behind the Pro, while still posting a very. In and old thread over a year ago on this forum, it was said that Screenflow's H.264 Hardware Encoding option on Export was much slower on M1 Pro and M1 Max chip Macs, but H.264 Hardware Encoding (Hardware Accelerated Apple H.264 CODEC) was not slower on M1 chip Macs, and the issue had been determined to be Apple's, and you were waiting on a fix. The Macbook Air M1 is available for as low as 999, or you can aim for a more.
