I have a really crappy computer ATM, and I was wondering if something like this existed.
Even with a fast connection though, uploading the source files would take forever.
- all2 8y agoIt would be really interesting to try and have a client-side app that handled the basic things, and then offloaded expensive stuff back to the mother-ship, like compression or final mixdown, or effects (if the application happens to have effects). Most computers shouldn't choke too hard on basic, non-destructive editing. I think. I could be very wrong. I'm thinking back to Apple's iMovie offering from quite a while ago, though. It didn't seem to computationally heavy.
- rjplatte 8y agoProxy editing is the standard solution to low-power hardware. The source files are converted to small lightweight files, the editing is performed, and the rendering is shipped out to a bigger machine, using the original files.
- nkkollaw 8y agoI use Kdenlive and it uses proxy files. Final Cut also uses the same technique, then when you render the final file it substitutes proxy files with actual raw files. How would you handle uploading gigabytes of stuff, though..? Cameras are so good nowadays that even a 10-minute video can weight 2GB.
