Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices
To create and save the project le in the SAN location
1. In the Project Library, select the “EDIT1-Music Video” SAN location so that it is
highlighted in blue.
2. Choose File > New Project (or press Command-N) and name the new project
“EDIT1-New Song.”
3. Make sure Default Event is set to “EDIT1-New Song,” then click OK.
Note: Render les are stored with the project le.
To create and save the project le on a local hard disk
1. In the Project Library, select your computer’s hard disk (or another local hard disk)
so that it is highlighted in blue.
2. Choose File > New Project (or press Command-N) and name the new project
“EDIT1-New Song.”
3. Make sure Default Event is set to “EDIT1-New Song,” then click OK.
Note: Render les are stored with the project le.
The EDIT1 workstation can now be used to edit the music video.
Now you can set up the second workstation to use the original media (which is also
used by the rst workstation).
Set Up the Second Edit Station
To connect the second workstation (EDIT2) to the Xsan volume
1. Open Final Cut Pro X on the second edit workstation (named “EDIT2” in this example).
2. Choose File > Add SAN Location.
3. Navigate to the working level of the mounted Xsan volume.
4. Click New Folder and name the folder “EDIT2-Music Video.”
5. Click Add.
The folder you created on the Xsan volume appears as a storage location in the Event
Library and the Project Library.
This will be the SAN location used by the second workstation.
To import media to the second workstation (without copying)
In this scenario, the Event on the second workstation references the original media
in its current location on the Xsan volume (as opposed to creating duplicate copies
of the media). To set this up, you import the original media without copying it to the
new Event on the second workstation.
1. Make sure the “EDIT2-Music Video” SAN location is selected in the Event Library and
choose File > Import > Files.
2. In the Import Files window, navigate to the location of the original imported media:
the Original Media folder in the EDIT1-New Song folder.
The path in this example is:
Xsan Volume Name/EDIT1-Music Video/Final Cut Events/EDIT1-New Song/Original Media
