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

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