Advantages

  1. Transcoding happens during classify & review the clips
  2. Media doesn’t need huge storage ➧ 1  simple Hard Drive is enough
  3. Media have a low Bandwidth ➧ 1  simple Hard Drive is enough
  4. Native Media (complex) are ONLY used for final Export

Disadvantage

  1. Color grading on Proxys media is a nonsense

With 2 software, it has no interest, too unbalanced between the CPU horsepower needed for Editing and Color grading.
