>I’m looking for real-world feedback from Galaxy Book 4 Edge (1st Gen X Elite) owners on specific video editing apps.

My workflow is simple but long: I’m exporting 45-minute videos using only raw H.264 footage and audio syncing. No plugins, no grading, no VFX.

Since some apps are now native and others are still catching up, I’d love to know:

  1. Adobe Premiere Pro (Native): For those using the ARM-native version, does it actually handle a 45-minute H.264 timeline smoothly? Any crashes during long exports?
  2. DaVinci Resolve: I’ve heard the ARM version is snappy but had some early GPU driver bugs. Is it stable enough now for a simple 'cut and sync' job of this length?
  3. CapCut Desktop: Has anyone got this running reliably? I've seen reports of it crashing on the X Elite—does it work better now, or is it still a struggle?
  4. Heat & Throttling: On a long 45-minute export, does the laptop get uncomfortably hot or slow down significantly toward the end?

I’m specifically focused on the 1st Gen X Elite. If you’ve used any of these three apps for long-form work, please share your experience!
