Relinking media in a new location

[Mike Warmels]

My media is on a Thunderbolt external hard drive. The Library is on the SSD internal hard drive of my trashcan MacPro. I don’t really know how to make it faster unless spending a ridiculous amount of money.

My AVID MC8.4 runs faster (a LOT faster) using USB 2.0 drives. I’m not kidding.

Mike,
a wild shot here, but folders in SAN can have permission problems
when multiple users access it,
maybe that could be causing difficulties for fcpx relinking properly?
Try and tell the guys getting the footage
to verify if folders on the SAN where files you send get stored have all
proper read and write permissions before relinking.
I’m sure they must have thought about this already,
and maybe it’s not the problem at all,
but might be worth checking….
It does seem odd that Jeremy and others seem to be able to do this routinely
without hiccups and others no, so maybe their SAN is the culprit…
Good luck anyway, hope it gets sorted out!
