Take a byte out of this. How about a terabyte?
Working in high definition has its advantages and disadvantages. The richness of the video is attractive and the detail in a great shot is satisfying. That’s the good part of high definition. If you have video that’s unattractive and the detail is a little too much, then your video stinks. And working with high definition takes up a lot of hard drive space. Three terabytes have been added to the machine I’m working on recently. And just to put things in perspective, I offer you the following.
20 terabytes can hold the number of photos uploaded to facebook
120 terabytes can hold all the data and images colledted by the Hobble space telescope
530 terabytes can hold all the videos on youtube

What’s next? The petabyte. And I don’t want to go there because backing up that much data would be a nightmare and searching for data would be even worse. But it’s coming. I know it’s coming. In the meantime, organizing the triabetes documentary and creating files, sequences, subsequences, subfiles, and subclips has been a REAL challenge.
