I agree with you completely… my only problem is that I am travelling a lot and living out of my backpack at the moment and this for the next 6 months so having the macbook, the camera, mic, monopod etc… then enough harddrives to have one copy + back up on me is very heavy and tedius… I travel with 2.75 tera bytes in total and its heavy when i have take it all handbaggage on flights!
In the end I think i’ll go Prores 422, and render all my aic files into prores… I think that makes the most sense. as you say, it might just mean another harddrive..
Thanks for the answer tho!
