I'm not a video editor, but I do work a lot with big files. The suckiness depends on your internet connection. If you've got a steady 50Mbps upload speed, it's just about OK. If you've got < 2Mbps, it's totally unworkable.
And sometimes your internet connection is not under your control - if you travel a lot, you're contracting in an office without good internet, etc. Even frequent uploads of small files make for a painful experience when internet is bad.

- blowski 10y agoIt still feels like it's years away. Earlier this year, I worked in an office that couldn't hold a steady internet connection for more than an hour. Even if it was only submitting deltas, the frequency of failures made working on a remote server unfeasible.
- nl 10y agoSure. But I bet you weren't doing pro video work from there. Reliable internet is already required in that work.
