I don't know if they're one of our customers but we have a couple systems that
can do that. We've got one that will let you edit on an iPad using a low
resolution copy of the media which then automatically relinks to the high res
stuff for playout.
Using low res proxy media dramatically lowers
Quite the opposite in your case...

The Volt is a hybrid. GMs marketing people are idiots. The Bolt is the GM EV.
Anybody with any brains would see how those names would be confusing.

I meant to mention that the developer got lucky in that it had been 20 years or
more since oil had been put down. This magic wouldn't have worked if they'd
been oiling the road 2 weeks ago...

Dad talks about how a couple years ago he did a site plan for an old sawmill
that got turned into luxury condos. The road in had been dirt and had been
oiled for who knows how many decades.
The state figured it'd be an environmental disaster which would require much
gnashing of teeth and cash.
A local big truck garage will purportedly pay $0.25/gal for "clean" used motor
oil. I've got close to 20 gallons of the stuff. I need to take it over, I'd
give it to them if they'd take it

I ran my 1952 Farmall Super M on the vast northern estate yesterday. It was
rated for 44hp at the drawbar. It's the big 264ci gas engine, rated for 3.7
gallons an hour at full load. It handles a 6 foot bush hog pretty well.
Dry the tractor is rated for 5600#, ours is probably close to 7000#.
I dunno, $1500 doesn't seem to buy much anymore.
I wouldn't hesitate at $2500 though.

AC works but is weak. Passenger side windows don't work.
Sadly a Subaru is probably a solid choice. The advantage being that a lot of
shops can/will work on them. It can be harder to find a good shop that can/will
work on Mercedes.
Most all of the Subaru choices are solid vehicles and as long as you steer away
from the boy racer models (WRX springs
Angie's '05 VW Golf had that happen on both front springs. On that car the
springs are part of the struts which makes compressing the spring even a bit
more exciting. I just replaced the entire unit which wasn't a whole lot more
expensive than just the spring itself.
