The real reason is cause we can. The technology and internet speeds have evolved to make editing video over RDP possible.

It looks like an absolutely brutal way to edit video[1], even with an incredible internet connection. This is a compromise courtesy of the reality of the Apple hardware ecosystem and not some sort of ideal way of working.

Sometimes I play Civilization through an RDP connection to my desktop box below my desk over a dedicated ethernet connection and that's bad enough. Trying to do full video editing, with critical concerns over every pixel, color and timing....oof!

[1] - as they note, you can see him doing it over the remote connection and it looks hurky-jerk disastrous.

They're still editing on a Mac, just remotely, which is how you know that this choice is not a compromise caused by the Apple hardware ecosystem.

There are much better solutions for LAN game streaming. Using RDP is... curious

Possible, yes, but adequate?

I play computer games running on my PC on my MacBook via Parsec (RDP) all the time. Video editing probably is less intensive that gaming.

Linus Tech Tips uses Parsec too since at least 2020 for their remote employees for video editing.

It works _great_, actually. Depends on your RDP client mostly, although I don't do color grading myself.

There's a lot of things that are possible and even adequate, but not a good idea unless you're sure that the org will not cheap out on Internet connection or other necessary infra.
