Mac Mini with eGPU

[Bill Davis] “It’s never felt that way to me, Oliver.
Proxy/Original switching has been astonishingly frictionless for me since FCP X 1.0. “

My point being that it’s inherently an extra step as opposed to starting with all media in the cloud to start with. That seemed to be the basis of your original future premise.

[Bill Davis] ” I can see an evolution on the close horizon where a video capture device will record RAW and Proxy at the same time and shooters leave the set with either/or/both”

Actually RED and others have been doing that for a while.

[Oliver Peters] “Actually RED and others have been doing that for a while.”

Worked on an XDCAM HD show in 2004/2005 and we were all excited the potential of using the inherent proxy workflow it had, but then found out the show’s version of Avid was too old so we had to ingest everything in realtime as if we were using tapes. 🙁

[Michael Gissing] “Is this the five minute argument?”

Huh?

I was talking about the source paper here:

Maybe I’m slow, but it took me WAY more than 5 minutes to look through the research.

But whatever.

Woosh.

Even tho I’ve enjoyed that Python clip probably half a dozen times – lacking better context – WOOSH – it flew right over my head.

Too much tunnel vision focus at the moment, I suppose.

Sorry.

The problem with the cloud solution is scale. In a small team, it can be viable if you can work with proxy or smaller files and you have decent ISP.
The moment you need to scale in terms of team size or file size/amount your internet connection must accommodate or you create a huge bottleneck. And it is not the cloud service providers is the source of this issue. It is the client themselves. Remote shoots in a medium-size city in the US. Good luck trying to find internet faster than 25 Mb/s.
