Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices
3. Do one of the following:
• To import some of the media les to the EDIT2 workstation, Command-click
the lenames.
• To import all media les in the Original Media folder, select the Original Media
folder (in the EDIT1-New Song folder).
4. Select “Create new Event” and name the new Event “EDIT2-New Song.”
In this example, “EDIT2” is included in the beginning of the Event name to indicate
that the Event was created by, and is to be used by, the second workstation, EDIT2.
5. In the “Save to” pop-up menu, choose the “EDIT2-Music Video” SAN location.
6. Make sure the “Copy les to Final Cut Events folder” checkbox is not selected.
The EDIT2 workstation will reference the original media in its current location on the
Xsan volume (as opposed to duplicating the media les).
7. Click Import.
The Background Tasks indicator spins as Final Cut Pro X creates references to the
original media in its existing location. When the process is nished and the thumbnail
images are loaded, the media appears in the “EDIT2-New Song” Event in the Event
Library, ready for use.
Note: Use the Background Tasks window to see detailed progress information. To
open the Background Tasks window, click the Background Tasks indicator or choose
Window > Background Tasks (or press Command-9).
After you reference the original media in the SAN location, create a project and save it
on the Xsan volume or on a local hard disk on your computer (in this case, the
EDIT2 workstation).
To create and save the project le in the SAN location
1. In the Project Library, select the “Edit2-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
“EDIT2-New Song.”
3. Make sure Default Event is set to “EDIT2-New Song,” then click OK.
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
“EDIT2-New Song.”
3. Make sure Default Event is set to “EDIT2-New Song,” then click OK.
Now both workstations in this example can edit the same media in Final Cut Pro X
at the same time.
