Last week, I spent two days in Reno, NV, providing training on Premiere Pro to the Home Video Studio conference there.

Once I got home, I spent the next three days creating this article which explains everything you need to know about media, storage and performance in one place. Whether you use Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, they all face the same speed limits and underlying technology.
