Some best practices for a shared environment

- [Instructor] I have a couple really useful thoughts…about working in a shared environment.…Let's take a look.…I just want to mention some best practices…for shared environment.…And by shared, I tend to prefer SANs…or shared area network…versus a NAS, a network attached storage.…The reason is SAN does the mediation…and has separate controls…and NAS doesn't have the same level of power.…The biggest things I need to do to Final Cut itself…is the library needs to be set…in the inspector…to have its storage locations for its caches to be local.…

Now, it depends on where you put your library.…If you put your library on the SAN,…you're going to want the cache…to be on your local computer.…That's because you don't want all sorts of cache files…to clutter up copying back and forth across the SAN.…It wastes bandwidth.…It's up to you where you want your media to live.…I tend to in a SAN environment have my media be linked,…and that way other people can access it…because two people cannot be in the same library…at the same time.…
