  Migrate from FibreJet to EditShare

  Posted by Dan Shott on January 31, 2009 at 1:07 am

  Hey everyone,

  Just looking for a little information or stories if anyone currently has any experience in migrating from FibreJet to EditShare.

  We are currently running have about 100TB of Apple Xserves running to about 30 Final Cut Edit systems connected with FibreJet.

  Just trying to get a basic overview of what all would be required to make this happen. Thanks for any info anyone can supply.

  Editshare is not going to support your expensive 100TB of Apple Xserve RAID storage. You will be starting from scratch, and this will be expensive. How do you make this happen – you call Andy at Editshare, say “I want to spend a lot of money, and I need 100TB of storage”, and for this amount that you will spend, I bet he flys there himself and installs it for you personally !

  Dan,

  I wouldn’t limit yourself to just EditShare, check out Apace Systems as well. EditShare does a good job and Andy, as Bob stated, will give you the personal touch, but so will Jeanclaude.

  my 2 cents

  Thanks for the suggestion. I was looking around their website, but was unsure if Apace Systems offers Final Cut Pro project sharing like EditShare claims to?

  Thanks,

  I keep telling them they need to advertise a little more, I always say “they are the best kept secret”.

  They have an end to end workflow for FCP, their own Media Asset Management Software (MAM)plus more. Give Jeanclaude a call, he will do a webx with you to show the interface and what it will do.

  There’s a lot of marketing hype out there, see it for yourself before you make a decision.

  FWIW – Dan
