[Craig Seeman] "And that's why I think FCPX is headed for a strong server/san solution. It looks like it should be a seat in a facility with a "brain" controlling the metadata."

We have a SAN and I have been testing little by little.

Right now, sharing Events is a no no, and I can't imagine that will change. Imagine two editors working on the same clip and changing the name. Corruption.

What I will say is passing events and projects is easy. You are also allowed to put Projects and Events in whatever folder you want, not only at the root level as with any other local drive. This means you can keep Projects and Events separated by client if you need to by making a new folder for each "SAN location" as FCPX calls it. If you need to work on a new media set, simply remove the San Location, then add the other one, you don't even have to quit fcpx.

As with a lot of things in FCPX it seems that all the control isn't there, but the infrastructure seems to be there.

I don't know for sure, but it seems ripe to support bigger networks right from the app. I do not think this was a mistake or a fluke. I think it looks like FCPX has bigger things in mind that arent quite there yet, but maybe I'm just too optimistic and the pond is drying up and the crocodiles are getting hungry. Look out for the huge bird (sorry, wasn't an eagle)!
