I have Catalina on my 2013 iMac with 24gb RAM and it's working pretty well. It maybe has to think a fraction longer to do some things but nothing that's bothersome. I'd expect your iMac should be fine

by Noah Kadner 3 years ago
If you go to Proxy in a 1080p timeline everything should look solid enough for cutting whether it's 1080p or 4K to begin with. I personally wouldn't go messing around with making my own proxies- more
