Thank you so much Shane. Now I need to figure out how to use this thing.

This is a V0 9850

I can get picture to the monitor, now I have to figure out if this has a tbc and if the mojo still works. Any guidance?

Thank you

thank you, all of you. I try to be humble about whatever knowledge I have but there’s nothing like asking a question like this to remind you just how humble you should be.

I’ll report back with what hardware I have.

I am not at that office right now but it must be at least 8 years old and there are legacy versions of MC if I can’t do it in 6. I will find out and get back to you. Thanks for your help

Have you put her project file in your Shared Avid Projects folder on your startup disk? Project Files and Media files must always be separate, with the Project Files being on the boot drive. Copy her Project files to a safe backup solution, remove it from the external drive with the media, and put it into your system drive. It should appear.

A raid will be faster than a single drive, you just might want to backup. I have to say though, having used 30+ G-tech RAids/drives in the past year, only one ever failed and it was right out of the box, a mini which was a new release of theirs.

I’m still surprised you had trouble with a drive, but at least now things work.

FW even on a non-raid drive should be fine in DNx. I’ve even cut a couple projects in 115 on a G-Drive with FW800 when the files came to me that way and I had no time to transcode.

You couldn’t multicam with that set up, but straight cuts shouldn’t be a problem.

eSata is a good solution but many cards don’t seem to be stable on Mac. I installed a the Esata card from Sonnet technologies and it was great for the most part but I’ve heard of nightmares on other Mac Pro systems.

Thanks michael, I was hoping to save some time with the transfer but I’ll just do it the old fashioned way as you suggest.

Has anyone developed a discipline for this kind of workflow between editors? I’m trying to think of a naming system that will prevent any problems with bins and project files.

Thanks Michael as always you’re very helpful.
