I recognize the workflow but I personally think that more time and money
has been lost pursuing this sort of cockamamie workflow, and all the
relinking that goes with it, than has been saved by not buying big
enough work-in-progress storage to allow editing with the native media
files...

The large productions I work on all transcode down to 15:1s, 20:1 or
10:1 (PAL resolutions). A lot of the rushes are shot on XDCAM or other
native formats so that's always kept native for online, anything else
gets DNxHD185. The rushes are copied to a NAS, copied to an archive,
AMA linked from the NAS in Avid and then transcoded down on to ISIS
storage for offline editing. None of the shows I work on (a lot of
reality tv like The Apprentice etc.) use DNX resolutions for offline,
it's all SD still. Finally for conforming, the ISIS is unmounted, the
AMA bins are reopened from the NAS and the sequence is relinked to the
high res media and consolidated on to a new online ISIS workspace. Job
done! (Although it's never that easy...)

John,
At $75/Tb surely it is a no-brainer.
Avoid all that relinking mucking about.
I cannot resist saying that my first Avid storage was $4,000,000/Tb
Yay I had 1.5Gb!

did the initial transcode to DNX 220 then transcoded that to DNX 45 for
offline. I was surprised to see that the offline media for this half
hour show was 341 GB and the online res was about 1.4TB. I know there
are size calculators out there but I hadn't realize how much space an
entire project takes at DNX 45. My work is mainly online so I've
forgotten just how fast things add up in the offline world. It makes me
rethink how I would manage a large reality production. Trying to keep
all the original DNX 220 transcodes seems a lot less viable on a large
scale than I had thought. I know storage is relatively cheap but even
so it would get burned up pretty quickly the way I was approaching the
in house show.

sustainable on the typical Reality shows I work on.
