There are dozens, if not over 100 videos on YT doing this exact thing.
Assuming he's not getting the base model of either version, performance is *identical*.
Where the MBP beats the MBA is in *long* extended video production and battery life. When the MBA gets too hot from working hard, it throttles. MBP the fan kicks on, keeping it cool. Battery in the MBP is bigger, so it last several extra hours.
If his primary day in day out use is video (especially 4K) Id be inclined to go MBP. If its just a few 1-2 minute videos from time to time, MBA is fine.
Pretty sure ADorama still has them on sale, all configs
