I'm getting like 2-3fps, and more worryingly, my CPUs shoot up to 100c+ almost instantly. I have a trial version of Final Cut which can make short work of the conversion (but obv would cost a lot to buy), and another converter called videoproc also seems to perform pretty well. It seems like HEVC is the way to go, but unfortunately iMovie doesn't encode from Sony's h.264 format to HEVC, so I've been looking at conversion tools. I've started shooting more home videos after the recent birth of my daughter using a Sony A7RIV, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to encode my movies for more efficient storage.

Hello, I recently purchased an 14" MBP with M1 max (32 core) and am trying to figure out if my performance results on Handbrake are typical.
