Using the AI
If you are enabling AI for some of the features, based on model type you will need additional hard disk space and memory
- Basic
- Standard
- Advanced
Here are the system requirements for the above three types to run smoothly.
| Type | Downloadable size | RAM(GB) | Processor | Run time peak RAM |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | ~3.4 GB | 12 GB - 16 GB | M1, Base M2 | 6GB - 9GB |
| Standard | ~6 GB | 16GB - 14GB | M1 Pro/Max, M2/M3+ | 9GB - 13GB |
| Advanced | ~7.5GB | 24GB-32GB | M3/M4 pro/Max | 11GB - 15GB |
Notes: Intel base mac can run, but would be slower. It's recommended that you close other apps while running the heavy AI processing. Once the processing is done, you can multitask as needed.
Melvec is optimized to consume less of memory and CPU as far as possible. However as your number of video files grow, the memory and computational energy required would grow proportionately.
