Ok I see what you mean. We do have a very large db so that would probably impact us greatly.

I didn’t even think of creating some sort of image proxy. That’s why you’re the man Bryson.

Very cool. We’ll look into setting this up and we will reach out if we run into any trouble.

Thanks,

Justin

Hey Bryson,

We have made several changes – the addition of several new production groups. I have been concerned about our configuration since day one (system was installed a couple years ago). We plan to spend a few hours with our IT support and square box at some point next week. I have a feeling they might be sending us your way for a few items!

I do believe this is a much more complicated issue. Hoping for a quick a dirty, temporary solution but hey, what can you do.

I appreciate the comments and may be speaking again with you soon!

Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks for the response.

I’m moving no more than a few dozen at a time typically. I even experience the issue moving just a few.

Thank you everyone for your response. My systems admin will be back tomorrow and will be able to provide our logs and send in the support ticket.

That is exactly what I needed. Thank John you’re my hero today.

Thanks John, this info is very helpful. The purpose of the inquiry was to attempt to organize the Shared Smart folders into Sub-Categories to make them more organized and easier for our producers to look through (they are requesting dozens of these smart folders).

Do you know if CatDV 11 allows these Smart Folders to be divided into several Sub-Categories or Folders?

Ahh ok. I’ve been thinking about this all wrong. Its not necessarily the production group you sign into but the production group(s) assigned to that user?

I’ve created two different production groups but when I sign into either one I still see all of our shared smart folders.

So would it then be wise to create generic log-ins based on production group?

Note: Basically what we’re trying to accomplish is creating different production groups based on different types of content (TV Series, Branded Content, Web Series, etc). The producers want to easily view Smart Folders but only the ones referring to the type of content they produce or manage.

Am I on the right track then?

No, all mac. I did read something about moving to ms sql over mysql. Not sure its an immediate option. We would evaluate changing if needed after Q4.

Apologies, I mean log on time. Catalogs for the most part seem to load just fine.

Our catalogs can vary greatly from just a few clips to about 300 assets (there are a few with thousands and I’m cleaning those up). I would say 100 assets per catalog would be a place to start. Those contain audio, video, stills and GFX.

As we are continuing to develop our tagging system and ingesting new media I have left my query VERY open. I have made changes and come to understand that the wide open search is the reason for the delay.

However, the more important concern of the powers that be is the load time of the application.

Thanks Robb!
