"Now the problem that I face and would like to solve eventually is video editing storage and retrieval."
There are a few solutions out there that address this issue. But they are in the B2B space, mainly positioned to large advertising agencies and production companies, and priced accordingly. AFAIK, there isn't a fantastic consumer-oriented (or even prosumer-oriented) solution in the market.
I'm actually surprised that Apple hasn't tried to address this problem, as an adjunct to its video editing software and its cloud service. Maybe it's looked into the problem and didn't find it big enough to warrant the sky-high IRR it probably requires of a project. But the idea could make sense for a startup.
I imagine you could position this tool to videographers, sure, but also to the growing number of people trying to turn semi-pro at YouTube and other video sites. If your solution is good enough, Google seems like a likely acquirer; these days it's allocating a lot of resources toward building tools to help its prosumer YouTube producers.
