Re: FCPX and SAN

[James O'Connor] "If we symlink, or find another way to let FCPX access events and projects on the SAN, then you will have multiple editors all accessing one "FCPX Events" folder and one "FCPX Projects" folder."

Absolutely. Don't do this!!!!
I was simply running a test to see how smart the thing was about this stuff. If you had 3 machines at your house and you were the only user, I think this could work, but I would never suggest something like this for a real shop.

There was a suggestion to create disk images using disk utility. I liked this a lot. Then you can duplicate your project to that image and had another editor a nice .dmg file on a stick he can use. Assuming he's imported the same clips as you, it should all work.
