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.

Movie files can be 2GB per every 30 minutes. At least that was the case with my iPhone 4. With the better cameras, it gets to that size for every 3 minutes of video. You save it uncompressed, a HD version, and then a standard version. That's how they tell us to save stuff in school anyway.
Easily gets to being 10GB, that's why the full sized iPad with all that power and RAM is good for. And having to pull that from the cloud would be an absolute nightmare.
You'd probably upload to Vimeo, and then keep everything on an external hard drive. For video, that's the only time you'd need the cloud.
