Re: REALLY TOO BAD
by Shane Ross on Apr 9, 2008 at 8:34:42 pm

Final Cut Server is not meant for this. It is a sever with proxie video that producers can look at and make small edits and give those to the editor who then links to the master footage. This is all really for news rooms and documentary type productions.

For FCP in a Unity type setting, you need XSAN or MetaSAN and shared storage. And you cannot approach using projects the same way Avid does...because FCP doesn't do that. You need to work the way FCP works...learn how to do it another way...multiple projects and always work with them locally, not from the server.

Or...look at EDITSHARE. That is a really slick shared setup and software that is VERY Avid-like. Each bin is a project file, and if it is opened by another editor, Edit Share prevents others from making changes to that. And it has an opening interface that allows you to choose users and a project file...jutt like Avid.

But honestly, if you like the Avid way of doing things, use an Avid. But if you go with FCP and how FCP does things, you need to get out of your Avid mentality and into the FCP mentality...and it is tough. I am in the middle of that now with other Avid editors...and yes, it is a struggle. But once you get used to it, it is easy.
