NAS for Video Editing - Enquiries - 12-03-2024
I work with small files 95% of the time and only occasionally with 4K files. I am curious whether my PC needs to be directly connected to the Synology NAS, or if an internet connection is sufficient. Can I store data on the NAS and access it remotely, for example, 1000 km away, over the internet? Is it possible to edit files directly on the NAS, or do I need to download them first?
The NAS is primarily intended to serve as a central data storage solution, allowing me to access my project files from my laptop while on the go. These project files, which I edit in DaVinci Resolve, should be centrally stored and accessible from multiple devices. It is not essential to edit the files directly on the NAS, as I will store and edit them locally on my computer or laptop 90% of the time.
