Holy hard drive space Batman!

[NAC]

So my daughter had a play last night. I recorded it:
- LX100 at 100mbs 4k to capture full stage
- 1080p camcorder at 28mbs manual panning and zooming
- Canon 70D for photographs in raw/jpg
- Tascam audio recorder recording 4 channels - two internal mics and line in from mics on the stage.

The results after about 2 hours:
118 gigs of data! 4k obviously is the biggest culprit. Time for a larger hard drive! I usually keep all my raw data files even after editing, but in this case I may start deleting them.

It looks like I had good exposure on all the video I looked at. Lighting on the stage is inconsistent and in fact changing, so basically I purposefully underexposed and adjusted it regularly.

What do you use to edit/splice/merge all the video ?

There's always Amazon Cloud Drive for $60 a year for unlimited space. Although, it might take a century to upload all of that...

In the past I used Sony Movie Studio 11. However it is quite slow working with 4k files, and seems to have a bug where a 4k mp4 video takes up more space on the timeline than it should. I tried Sony Movie Studio 13, it uses really low res proxy files for the 4k files, but otherwise seems almost identical. For this edit, I'm going to try out PowerDirector and Premiere Elements and see what I prefer. I think one of those may also have auto-synching of files based on the audio. Normally I do it manually, but thanks to the 15 minute recording limit on my LX100 I have about 18 files to synch up.
