Laptop Overheating During Video Editing

I’ve been doing a lot of video editing lately, and I’ve noticed my laptop is getting really hot after just a few minutes of work. The fan is constantly running at full speed, and I’m worried this could damage my system. I’m using a MacBook Pro, if that helps. Anyone know how I can keep the temperature down while editing?

I do a lot of design work on my MacBook, and I had similar issues. One thing that made a big difference for me was switching to an external drive for saving and working with my video files. It reduces the strain on your internal SSD, which can generate heat when it’s constantly in use. Also, you might want to keep an eye on your Activity Monitor to see if there are any background processes using up too much CPU—sometimes there’s stuff running that you don’t even realize.

Hey Fatima, I’ve been there! Video editing can really push your laptop to its limits, especially on a MacBook. One thing that can help is using an external cooling pad to keep the airflow going underneath the laptop. Also, try closing any unnecessary apps or browser tabs while editing—it’ll help take some load off the CPU. Finally, check the room temperature. If it’s warm, even a slight difference in the environment can affect the cooling.
