Sharing Libraries without needing to relink
I have a library with 7 events and over a thousand clips, some of which are AVCHD, which is slow to relink.
I have an exact copy of the media on 2 different drives, one for me and one for my producer.
All of the media, cache, proxies, etc are outside of the library so that we have a very small library.
The problem is, when we send the library back and forth it takes a long time to reconnect all the media, like over an hour.
I’ve considering naming the hard drives the same name (haven’t tested yet but will once the relink finishes) but I was wondering if anyone has found a better solution?
We’re mostly using this to make notes on the project file, so it’s very tedious to have to relink everything just to get back up and running.
Am I missing something?

Hi
Identical names of drives and matching folder structure should help. -
The names are identical, the drives are cloned.
Renaming the volume so they have the same name worked. I guess that will have to work, but I can see this leading to frustration when I had the drive back.

Except it won’t reconnect the proxy media. Aaargh, so close.
