Hi Bob – what’s your email? I may be interested in having you optimize the NAS I just set up.

You upset, Bob. We literally had one job to in this thread and we failed.

“… you will use a shared storage system like this practically every second of every day. It’s not sexy like a camera, but it will save you SCADS of time, and works really well. It’s been a great investment for my company’s video team.”

Truth! If you have multiple workstations, investing in a decent NAS will be life-changing.

With that said, let’s go easy on AJ. If AJ is only 5TB/year it’s a safe bet that they aren’t in a position to blow $7-8k on a NAS. Some of us shoot 5TB per project.

I am currently setting up a NAS for my small video firm. Once I have it set up and running I’ll write up a blog post and share it with you, AJ. All told, I am spending around $3k, which I know isn’t cheap, but you’ll definitely have to invest some real money to get results.

Thanks, Bob! You’re doing the lord’s work. I’ll update you once I’ve set this up and get it running.

Thanks for the reply, Peter.

Lighting and color-grading. Look into buying Film Convert as well. That plugin does nice stuff to a properly balanced shot.

Thanks, Alex — I watched the video a couple times and am wrapping my mind around it, but it seems doable.

I was recently editing a commercial on my PC running PPro. I asked a friend to add some AE stuff to my final edit. He has a Mac Pro. His computer crashed a lot running AE and Premiere.

I didn’t dig too much into his system but we both agreed that the problem lay with the Mercury Engine.

I think Premiere CS6 has crashed on me maybe twice in the last year. I honestly can’t remember the last time it crashed on me.
