I went to Fry’s yesterday and bought a bunch of 750gig Seagate SATA drives on sale for $309. apiece. That’s less than 50 cents/gig!!!
Not suggesting that this is your best solution, but it’s sure nice to have that big of a bucket inside your G-5 before you even need to think about externals.

Do you have updated drivers for the AJA’s?
What is the nature of your problem? Can you see a picture in the digitize window? Have you tried restarting the AJA boxes?
THere’s plenty of potholes in this chain to troubleshoot. Tell us what you’ve done to eliminate possible points of error.

Let’s be perfectly clear about this. With FCP and X-SAN, anyone connected to the SAN can open a project, make changes and close it. As Keith says, “Last one to save wins”.
We have almost 100 editors working with shared projects, episodes, media every day. Here’s how we do it.
Editors identy their project with their names, “RW1800MarkR”, and work within that project. They work locally, but save “globally”. At the end of the day, the editor will save the project to their local drive and to the SAN in a “project back up” folder. If another editor needs that project, they will find it, pull it locally, rename it as “RW1800Editdude” then save it both locally and globally. It is this naming scheme that keeps things in order, not FCP or X-SAN.
Also.. keep in mind, that for FCP, the project is less important than the media or the “sequence”. So for sharing projects, we put the sequences only into separate, small projects and zip that around the company.
Hope this helps.

Here’s one.

Here’s the grfx company that did it: Exopolis

Like all things Apple, they’re sworn to secrecy about how they did it! 🙂
I can tell you that they’re creating the new main titles for the next season of MTV’s “The Real World: Denver”.

Do you know about “Picture Ready” from Gallery in the UK?

Might be helpful for what you’re trying to do.

If you don’t want to pay the ticket, an EDL is your next best choice.
It seems that you’re really asking, “How can I transfer my entire project structure over to a SYmphony?” For that, Automatic Duck is your best bet.
Good luck.

Instead of what? An upright Moviola?

Your timeline format is the least of your problems. How are you going to deal with the different aspect ratios of HD (16 X9) and SD( 4 X 3)?
