[kdenlive] Best workflow for large projects

[Simon Cropper]

Hi,

In other people's experience what is the best workflow when working on 
large files?

I have a collection of 66 large videos taken over a year and I wish to 
extract segments from various parts of the collection then bundle them 
in a chronological sequence with music.

Pretty typical, I presume.

Considering each movie is between 500MB to about 1 GB, what is the best 
way to manage this.

I presume when you create a clip with the Clip Monitor and save it is is 
only saving the start and end time, rather than making a copy of the 
segment. Consequently I expect there would be memory constraints to 
consider on a large project. Multiple files in memory would eventually 
result in a crash.

Is it better to create a clip and save it to disk, then create the final 
product using the smaller clips?
