  Editing workflow on a network hard drive for multiple systems…..yes or a better solution?

  Posted by Mikkell Khan on September 10, 2009 at 12:47 pm

  Hey, do any of you work on a network hard drive, one that is connected via ethernet to a router?

  How do you find it works with your editing if your system was connected directly to the router via another ethernet cable?

  And how about wirelessly?

  Essentially, I want to share project files amongst 3 different systems in the same room and would like to create a fast and possibly uninterrupted workflow with them (one for basic and final editing, one for special effects, one for audio cleanup/sound and music creation).

  A network hard drive is what I have thought about. Does anyone use any other methods that might be better for this situation?

  If you are doing SD DV, maybe.
  Do a search on “Storage Area Network” or “SAN” and “video”.

  A lot depends on where you need realtime playback.

  hope that helps….

  look to hardware from Small tree communications and perhaps software like MetaLan from Tiger Technology.
