No need for any of those features, it’s just internal company training videos so the quality isn’t a big consideration.
I’d be interested to know how limited you are in titles and title animations. I imagine I will need to do a lot of title screens. They wouldn’t have to be fancy but it’s nice to be able to do a bit extra to keep people’s attention.

Thanks Alex your points about format support and more people knowing it are good ones that might help sway the argument.

Other aspects like quality aren’t so relevant since it’s internal instructional video. But, at a later date they may become relevant.

I think the ongoing cost will be worth it given that it’s a huge company.

Is this suitable for recording screen vision which is to be edited into a video in Premiere Pro? Does it give you plenty of record options to match what you’re editing?

Ah I see. Wasn’t sure how the two locations thing worked. Think I might get the boss to shell out for the CC membership rather than give up my spare – might need it for my own laptop one day!

Dropbox is only $11 for 1TB now which is great, but the upload speeds are going to be prohibitive. I’m running a test now on a 500Meg upload and it looks as if it’s going to take hours.

Carrying a portable drive with me too and from work won’t be a problem anyway. I’m the only person who’ll be working on it.

Is that how it works Alex? I didn’t think it would be possible to have the software on the cloud and access it from multiple locations. Otherwise everybody would be doing it and sharing their licence with all their mates.
I’m pretty sure we need to pay two memberships for two locations. I hope I’m wrong, that would be great.

It’s 20 Gig of storage which isn’t much really. Working in a drop box style would be ideal but I figured the cost of storage and speed/cost of download/upload would make it impossible.
Here’s Shane’s comment:
[Shannon Bedford] ” How useful is Cloud storage in this situation?”
(Shane) Very helpful, if you are willing to shell out the cost of an enterprise class system. Cloud based editing isn’t cheap…it’s a large facility tool at this time.

So, if that’s the case it’s not worth it for a company that edits the occasional video and a job that only takes me to the office one day a week. But if there is a way, I’d love to hear it!

Well that’s not so bad but certainly you should be asleep by now. Typical editor – always working.

Any tips for me on best portable drives to use? As I said, not a lot of use maybe maybe one or two videos a month at 1 minute duration.

Also, should I format as ExFAT? Sounds like a lot of people run into problems with it.

Thanks for responding so promptly despite it being well past bedtime on your side of the world. You are awesome as always.

I’ll check the specs on his PC and advise the boss to purchase an external drive.
Any tips on which would be best given that it needs to be portable? I don’t expect we’ll be producing many videos – maybe one or two videos a month at 1 minute duration.

Not sure if his PC has Thunderbolt. Is USB3 going to slow things down much?

cheers.
