By the way, after you're done editing the movie, is it preferable to keep it stored on that device where you edited it? I'd say it's not, for many users. Because again, if you later wish to use (or simply show off) your creation elsewhere, it would be extremely inconvenient to have the file stored on a single device only, having to manually copy it from that single device whenever you need to access it elsewhere.
As soon as I'm done editing a file, I send it away to the cloud, so that it becomes accessible everywhere. Whereupon it's no longer necessary to keep the local copy of it.

I don't have enough self discipline to keep something on external cloud storage. Plus I have a bit of paranoia going on. I don't care if the world can see most things and can encrypt the odd thing I do. I just don't have faith that any cloud service will be there forever. I prefer network attached storage with RAID enabled. It is accessible and reasonably secure.
