Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices

XsanBestPractices

Workows

Many post-production facilities, both large and small, need to share media when

working with multiple editors, graphic artists, and sound designers. Attaching

Final Cut Pro X to central shared storage, also known as a storage area network (SAN),

can dramatically speed up post-production and enable artists to collaborate better

under pressure. Xsan—Apple’s SAN le system—allows multiple computers to access

shared storage over a Fibre Channel network.

This document is designed to help you determine the best way of working with

a SAN, such as Xsan, to speed up creative work and eliminate copying les across

networks or hand-carrying hard drives on multiuser projects.

Two common scenarios are described below.

The rst scenario sets up Final Cut Pro X for multiple users who will share a single

project and Event, with editing access limited to one user at a time. This is essentially a

“check-in/check out” workow—for example, two editors on day and night shifts, or an

oine editor who hands o the rough cut to another editor in a nishing suite.

The second scenario sets up Final Cut Pro X for two workstations sharing the same

media simultaneously. For example, one workstation might act as the media-importing

station and as a secondary edit station. The other workstation might be used for

editing only. In this scenario, both workstations can access and edit the same original

imported media stored on the SAN volume.

In both scenarios, the conguration includes an Xsan system with two Final Cut Pro X

workstations attached via Fibre Channel. In these examples, the Xsan volume is

running and mounted on both workstations.
