Re: [Avid-L2] Re: NLE of the future (was Avid buys Blue Order)

But that precisely is the problem. Local server. Remote server. Cloud. If all my dailies and all my scenes and sequences and assemblies and rough cuts and screeners, if all these things are available to anyone online (assuming appropriate encryption and protections) then it's a pirate's world. Not for one second do I believe in security online. Not for one second do I believe that a hack-proof local server (read 'cloud') can be built.

I'm not talking about sending shots back and forth. This week I finished a feature that had 280 VFX shots. Four vendors in Russia did the work and it was conducted entirely via ftp. But never, not once would we have been idiot enough to put an entire cut of the movie on that or any other ftp.

Ultimately, it comes down to whether or not secure systems are possible. Me personally, I don't believe they are. And I will always tell a producer that the project and all its bins, dailies, imports, music, scenes, sequences and assemblies should be held offline. Period.
