My Editing Workflow **[apalrd's adventures](https://daily.dev/sources/apalrd)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary A behind-the-scenes walkthrough of a content creator's video editing workflow, covering footage ingest from multiple sources (Nikon camera, DJI Mic, iPhone, OBS screen capture), storage on a ZFS-mirrored NAS, editing in DaVinci Resolve over a 5GbE network, multicam clip syncing, and final rendering for YouTube upload. Hardware details include an AMD Threadripper 1950x workstation, ultrawide monitor setup, and Stream Deck for OBS control. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Can I edit video directly from a NAS in DaVinci Resolve without using proxies? Editing directly from a NAS in DaVinci Resolve is viable at 1080p when network bandwidth is sufficient. With 5 gigabit Ethernet to the switch and 10 GbE to the NAS, combined with a high ZFS ARC cache hit rate, spinning drives are not a bottleneck. Proxies become necessary for timelapse clips with speed changes, which can consume over 12 GB at half resolution. _Editors weighing NAS-based workflows find real-world setups like this discussed on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I tried DaVinci Resolve's new photo editor, and it's not what I expected](https://daily.dev/posts/i-tried-davinci-resolve-s-new-photo-editor-and-it-s-not-what-i-expected-hfwfurmcu) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/welcome-to-the-editing-den-my-editing-workflow-jsad1ide5) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Welcome to the Editing Den!
