I found out I can run hitfilm pro 4, Apple motion 5 & mObject (early version) from an external hard drive to use on my iMac (2011). Can’t remember the brand of hard drive but it has “porche design” written on it.

My 21.5” 2011 iMac can’t do 4K, and is struggling to do stuff with the above software even at 1080p

Staying with Apple, what would be my cheapest option Mac wise to run from the external hard drive up to 4K if possible, but I’d settle for 2K, or even 1080p if would run smoothly? If it’s even possible of course

If regs/admin don’t allow recommendations, a simple yes it can or no it can’t will suffice

Thanks!
