Re: Final Cut Server, trying to understand.....

Paul,

You make a lot of "I wish" or "FCP should" statements, but the fact is, FCP and X-SAN already CAN do what you're asking. I should know. I've been using FCP/X-SAN in a multi editor, shared project, long form workflow for over three years now.

Step one. Forget about doing it "Avid's way".

Step two. Find a bright, FCP savvy guru who can walk you through the workflow.... specifically, media and project organization.

Step Three. Hire that person to hold your hand for three months.

Step Four. Forget abut making your FCP into an AVID. It isn't.

Step Five: Finish the film. Prepare acceptance speech, "I'd like to thank the academy...".

Good luck.

Mark
