Our company uses Parsec, admittedly not for its intended purpose in gaming, but as a remote desktop software while out around the country (Australia) to remote back into our home base.

We are almost always trying to use the service through hotel/conference center/corporate internet connections and I reckon between 2020-2024 we would get the 6023 "peer-to-peer" error maybe 10% of the time. Skip forward to today, and the service is basically unusable now, as pretty much every single internet connection we go through now gives us a 6023 connection error.

Just don't understand how Anydesk can connect so reliably every time, and Parsec is now unusable.

Last year I made a post in this group just sanity checking myself that trying to actually edit 360 8K footage in Premiere / Final Cut / Davinci is very difficult and expensive due to the workload required and storage required.

Fast forward to today and the pain of trying to work with these files is continuing to make me want to scream into the void.

My original post linked here, explains that to playback 8K or even 5.7K footage smoothly without a BEAST machine requires transcoding to ProRes 422. This was an annoying option as it usually took a day or two to transcode 150+ clips from a big travel vlog and then I ran into a more pressing issue of raw hardrive capacity.

Since then I have just purchased a new Ugreen NAS with 32TB of space in RAID 10 (so about 14.6TB usable), so I have solved the capacity issue, but now I've been burnt by a new issue which royally fucked me on an edit.

When you use the Insta 360 Studio App to create these Prores 360 files, the durations of the clips change.

The clip in orange is the original .INSV file, and the blue clip is the Prores .MOV file.
I set no adjusted in or out points in Insta 360 Studio, the raw INSV clip is simply missing the first 3 seconds or so, and the MOV prores is missing the final 2 seconds or so.

So of course I linked all my prores proxies to the original footage not knowing this, edited my whole project with the proxies, and then when I switched on the original hi-res footage again, everything was out of sync and shifted by 5 or so seconds.

I am at the end of my rope trying to get this workflow to happen. Can anyone from Insta360 explain why this would be happening? My last option is to make my proxies using Adobe Media Encoder instead and see if the issue still occurs.
