Overheating

Hi there!


Recently, I have edited a video in Premiere Pro and my MacBook air got pretty hot. It was probably hot for 30 mins - 1 hour as I was constantly editing. However, I think there's more projects that will require me to work in Premiere Pro and I fear that it getting hot will bring damage to the battery and to the laptop itself. How dangerous is overheating/a hot macbook?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.1

If a Mac gets too hot, it will shut down on its own before any damage can occur.


Before it gets to that point, it will automatically reduce performance in an effort to keep running. You can help keep it within limits by following these instructions: Keep your Mac laptop within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support.
