Final Cut Pro X: Xsan Best Practices
Scenario 2: Workow for Multiple Users Editing
the Same Media Simultaneously
This scenario sets up Final Cut Pro X for two workstations to access and edit the same
media simultaneously.
Important: For this workow, the Open Directory user accounts must have the
appropriate permissions to access the media and to allow changes to the project. To
do this, put the Open Directory users in an Open Directory group and give that group
Read & Write permission for the SAN Location folder on the Xsan volume. For more
information on using Open Directory to control access to media and projects, see
“Frequently Asked Questions” at the end of this document.
Set Up the First Edit Station
To connect the rst workstation (EDIT1) to the Xsan volume
1. Open Final Cut Pro X on the media import/edit system (named “EDIT1” 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 “EDIT1-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.
Next, import media from a hard disk to the SAN location.
To import a folder of media les from a hard disk
1. Choose File > Import > Files.
Note: You can also import media directly from a camera. For information on importing
media from cameras and other le-based devices, see the ”Import from le-based
devices” section in Final Cut Pro X Help.
2. Navigate to and select the folder of clips.
3. Select “Create new Event” and name the Event “EDIT1-New Song.”
In this example, “EDIT1” is included in the beginning of the Event name to indicate
that the Event was created by, and is to be used by, the rst workstation, EDIT1.
4. In the “Save to” pop-up menu, choose the SAN location (the EDIT1-Music Video folder
created in the previous task).
5. Make sure “Copy les to Final Cut Events folder” is selected.
6. Click Import.
The Background Tasks indicator spins as Final Cut Pro X imports the media to the SAN
location. When the import is nished and the thumbnail images are loaded, the media
appears in the “EDIT1-New Song” Event in the Event Library, ready for use.
Note: Use the Background Tasks window to see detailed import progress. To open the
Background Tasks window, click the Background Tasks indicator or choose Window >
Background Tasks (or press Command-9).
After you import media to 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 EDIT1 workstation).
