But are these features affecting directly to web client, then? I will pass them on to our IT team to think about upgrading the system.
Thank you again

We use firefox.

6.8 server needs our client to be updated to cat dv pro 10…. and it will take more time. Which are these features by the way? So maybe we can think it over.

Thank you for your quick response 🙂

Sorry, I was re-reading my message and maybe I put it wrong. I dig out some information and I’m going for the two Production groups solution. I think it will work. Thanks again for the forum!

Ok I see. I kind of expected it to be the case.. but since we do log manually, I thought you could prevent of seing all clips except for those that match X field, for instance.
I’ll try to do some research and see how to set the new demanded workflow.

Thank you for the fast reply!

I see. The weirdest thing is that the IP was static though. It seems it is now working without disconnection, although the “Server abort..” something message is still appearing and it logs off sometime. I just have to ignore it and it seems to work ok.

The IT person said CatDV and Final Cut could not work at the same time since MacOS says that this device/repository (server) can only be used by one software. Anyway, I’ll keep it testing… thanks folks

[Carla Vidal]

Ok thanks. I thought it might be because as I told you Macs can connect to the server through the machine (recognise it and work in it as a new device) but then it couldn’t connect and log when starting cat dv. That’s why.

I apologise for the confusion, I’m still learning 🙂

Regards and thank you both

Ok thanks, I’m finally ingesting through Final Cut Pro X, and using the unwrapped .movs to transfer them to the HiRes folder and then import to CatDV.

I haven’t installed Calibrated Codecs yet but I’ll do it. Is it possible also not only to play back but export like .movs in native format??

Thanks Bryan!

Hi! So glad I found this post. I am in a similar situation.

The situation is the following:

We are working in a MAC/Windows environment. MAC for editors, WINDOWS for producers/journalists. We are establishing the new workflow. We have a SMB Network to a server where we PC/CatDV logguer and MACS/Editors share:

– HiRes location.
– Proxies.
– Shortcut to internal MAC 1’s final cut pro x events and projects,
MAC 2’s final cut pro x events and projects etc

Cat DV PC is for ingesting, trascoding, renaming, logging and archiving new material ready for new FCPX projects. Everything great so far. Indexing and playing back from different cat dvs was great until this new server set (before was temporarily external hard drives which contained hi res media).

We also need producers to be able to preedit raw footage in sequences and be able to play back XML FCPX sequences but I can’t get a proxy of them.

So, I am testing all this series of tasks but server becomes so slow to build proxies, fails and sometimes even crashes. In short, the performance isn’t very good in networking…

[Carla Vidal]

Beg my pardon for going into this conversation but I am curious. So, media converter (https://media-converter.sourceforge.net/) is far more faster than transcoding via FCP7 or FCPX? Thank you 🙂

Just curious, you have to use ‘scan for new files’ one catalogue by one, isn’t it? The best practice would be to import from just a single directory, but then files would not been archived properly at the drives.
