Photo Editing Software Capture One Now Supports Apple Silicon | No Film School

If you're looking for an alternative to Adobe Lightroom with a few more robust editing features, Capture One is a great option (the same can be said for Pixelmator). The company announced during a livestream that version 21 will have native support for the Apple M1 chip.

According to Capture One, machines running M1 chips will allow importing photos with the Advanced Importer up to two times faster, while managing assets in Catalogs and Albums will be 50% quicker. Additionally, brushing edits are smoother, and tools like crop and rotate are humming at twice the speed.

Faster performance is obviously a welcome improvement. Reviewing the M1 chip, we were thoroughly impressed. Having a more reliable machine will speed up render times, giving you extra creative freedom before your deadline. We're patiently waiting to see what the M2 chips will have in store for filmmakers. Bloomberg reports that a new iteration on the M1 chip will be added in the upcoming 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models and possibly a version of Mac mini, featuring a 10-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, with 16-core or 32-core GPU options.

As for Capture One, they have plans starting at $14 for single-camera usage or $19 for all camera brands they support. Additionally, you can pick up Capture One with a perpetual license.

As we’ve covered in the past, one avenue in which AI could be most beneficial to filmmakers perhaps might not be in the realm of production or post-production, but rather pre production.

If you’re someone who was open to experimenting with text-prompt generative AI models like Runway or Midjourney when they first came out, you might have tried to use these AI image generators to come up with rough storyboards—or at least inspiration—to help guide your projects.

Well, if that is your bag, you might be even more interested to check out this new Mootion Storyteller’s Input Content Control which aims to allow creators the ability to generate storyboards either from ready-made scripts or from simple text prompts.
