You might ask why this question, well let me explain. I love to film for about 30 years, mostly holidays or special occasions, since they are the best memories of the past. When I started filming I shot in VHS, progressed through Hi-8, then digital 1080p and now in 4K. Editing that time was difficult. I used 2 camcorders did analog editing and used audio dub to add music, copying from 1 recorder to the other resulting in a bit blurry final product, but it was the best I could get.I always kept the original tapes for future use, since in my opinion editing tools would improve. And I was correct on that one. Since digital editing became affordable I copied all the original tapes to digital media and re-edited most footage with amazing results. At the moment I still have all my original footage stored on a NAS and some of it in the cloud. With respect to the filesize up to 1080p footage it is still manageable. But with 4K format, storage will become immense.
Well this is why I come up with the question, what do you do with your recordings? Just keep the edited version and get rid of the original recordings or keep everything for future improvements? Opinions and suggestions highly appreciated.
