I have a friend who’s a singer. He showed me how much storage 1 4 min music video took. 40 min per camera, 3 cameras, 4K. Unedited raw footage came out at ~2.5TB. It’s just insane to me. My PC has 1TB of storage.

    Almost everything you ingest from day to day on your PC, in terms of multimedia content, is compressed.

    File compression is a necessity, as it makes transmission of such media over the internet much more teneble. But uncompressed video carries a lot more information – not necessarily all useful information, but it is there.
