Doing video editing full-time over remote desktop must be painful. Perhaps a 20% productivity hit from that decision alone?

Kinda surprised professional video editing software hasn't been designed with this exact use case in mind - ie. A worker running local software doing editing, but then a remote server with tens of Tbytes of storage and high power GPU's.

The software would do standard definition and basic rendering fast locally, and simultaneously request the 8k data be rendered remotely and downloaded so a full fidelity preview can be seen after a few seconds.



Why? Storage is cheap, and desktop computers have plenty of power to edit. Why on earth would you want to try to stream all of this shit over the Internet?


Remote workers tend to have/want laptops, and you just can't fit all the raw footage for a film on a couple of tb SSD...

Not would you want to, because one untrustworthy employee could leak all the footage.
